Hey! ! A uni student from London. I have gained almost a stone since joining the uni and now have a started my weight loss journey again. Still difficult to get the intensity I was used to back home.

I am 5'2" and at the peak of my fitness went down to 110 and ever since I moved to a new city, I seem to maintain 120-125 with low exercise and not a strict diet. Now, I want to get back to my awesome shape where I needed no spanx for bodycon dresses!! I look fine but I really want to look skinny. also my hips are…

Thank you so much! Yes I did lose the weight and since it took me almost 2 years, I dont have that much loose skin. But my back fat is stubborn and stubborn and stubborn. I am 5'2" and I am not too bothered about the number except that something should happen with my new diet. I have started the following: Pre workout:…

I do lift heavy and yes, you can't spot reduce. But I have read and heard people at my gym talk about fat burners taken along with protein shakes. I take a basic isopure soy protein. So there is absolutely no use of fat burners?
-
So is there any solution to this soft skin? Since I am not eligible for surgery :/ I can just keep working on building muscle.

By strength training I mean I lift weights and do heavy reps. And my loose skin is not loose enough for surgery because I lost the weight slowly so the only option my PT suggests is toning, building muscle and increasing my protein intake. Which I have been doing, but i see no results except in my arms, they have amazing…

my dietary fat is real low, yes. I don't know if that's whats causing the problem/
-
wow! Thanks. It helped a lot! And now I understand the bit about protein shakes as well. There's just so much negativity about them especially for women that its gets a bit overwhelming

My trainer doesnt think I am. But I need to know how exactly do I calculate that so that I know for sure myself.

This is what I am confused about. I have read so many side effects of artificial protein. My daily protein sources include: 4 egg whites 1 bowl bowl lentils 1 chicken breast. Is that suffice?

The best part about being a woman is that the lack of testosterone will prevent any ugly growth of "bodybuilder" types muscles. With adequate strength training you will have great toned muscles. I am a small woman, around 5 feet and a gym rat, almost 5-6 days for two hours. My routine has a cardio in intervals with…

I am 23! Add me and lets motivate each other!!

Yes I agree. And my tiny I mean, short. I want to get toned muscles and I know I need to eat more. I do consistent weight training as well but coming down from being an obese, my mind just doesn't adjust to eating more part and now I get confused about the foods I need to eat. There is always a fight with food in my head…

God!! Me too!! I have been on this annoying plateau for the past 3 weeks and then injured my tail bone, so no gym sessions and its annoying me and I am losing my motivation so bad!!!

Hi I am Samaira. I am 5'1.5" and was 264 at my heaviest and now weight 133. My BMI is still on overweight and I am trying to get down to 110-120, the ideal weight for my height. Have been stuck in the 130s for some time now and it gets frustrating. I usually eat around 1200 calories, get 4-5 days of hour long workouts. Any…
