Thank you all! I think I will stick to what I am doing for a while longer if it won't affect my progress.

Thanks, I feel I am training OK but it's the diet I struggle with. I'm learning every week how to improve though. I am aiming for between 100g and 120g of protein. Does that sound OK?

Thanks for the feedback. I am female, 5ft 7.5 and weigh 145lb. I am still using very light weights but have built up from just using the bar! I am still progressing with my lifts, albeit it slowly.

Wow, you look amazing! Can you talk about how you got there? Did you eat in a deficit for the 2 years? What type of exercise and how often?

Oh OK, never heard of doing that! I will try it, thank you for that.

That makes sense, thanks! I will go for a small Deficit.

This is exactly what I wasn't sure of! Small Deficit or maintenance. Which is most effective?

Ice cream fitness. It's a. 5x5 program. Although I am doing the 3x5 cutting version. How you have described my aims is perfect. With the lifting, yes I am being progressive and increasing weight. Only managing about 100g of protein at the moment though.

OK I will do that. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I've been going round in circles for 2 weeks. I think I just needed someone to tell me what to do. Last week I was around 1400 cals and lost about half a pound. Does that sound about right?

Hi! Went back to the gym today for the first time in a few months. Starting ice cream fitness. Anyone else following this program or similar?

I have finally read all 135 pages of this thread! Would love to see some more updates or new ladies with progress pictures!

Thanks for the great advice, I haven't used the cable machine but I think I've seen it so I will look that up and give it a try. And thanks for comments on failure, I will change that up too.

Great advice again, thank you. I will do that.

Thanks you for the advice, very helpful!

I'm currently 134lb, down about 24lb. On paper that weight for my height is small but I still have a really large stomach. I am small every where except the stomach which gives me a weird shape and I just look ridiculous. So I will keep plodding on.

Thanks so much Bertha, I will do that x

Thanks, it looks good but quite overwhelming with so many videos! Not sure where to start! I couldn't see the beginners section.

Thanks, off to check it out!

Great I'll have a look thanks! Do you need to follow the videos in a certain order?

Thanks everyone, jester you make a lot of sense, thank you so much. I i really find keeping up with exercise hard, I always start something then give up after a few weeks. So that will be my next challenge I think. And i have stopped pressing complete on my diary! I am eating just under my predicted tdee and will see what…

Ok, thanks so much. I need to start by making sure my tdee is right and keeping a track on that first.

Thanks for the replies, i will talk to someone real about it. I sort of talked to my friend who said not to lose any more as my weight is low, it's just that I don't feel right yet! I think i will change my cals to maintenance and see how I go. Maybe I'll get used to the tummy! X I will think about the lifting too, it is…

No answers I'm afraid but I am exactly the same. I've lost 2 stone and am at a weight where I should look good but I don't as I am bloated. I'm trying green tea but not sure if it helps yet!

Ha ha, thanks!

Thanks, yes hopefully that will be the case! I will be looking for ways to make the routine harder, I'll know who to ask! Glad I discovered you as a friend!

Thank you very much, i will keep things the same. I am excited about it but really trying to change my mindset from thinking about the scale all the time!
