I only list the exercise roughly, as I don't eat it back anyway. Its more there incase I go over by top whack 50-100cals. Like I said, I don't really eat back the exercise cals. Its not there for me to rely on. I know each workout will vary, so theres no way of knowing exactly how much I'd burn. Again, all I can say is…

Thanks :) I really have been working hard (the classes are mixed with cardio exercises as well), as well as having an active job at the moment and living in a location that I walk a lot. So all I know is the scales showed 1.4kg...hopefully its right but who knows. My trainer said he believed it could be possible from the…

Thanks cgartebay :) Luckily I don't drink alcohol so that is something I don't have to worry about! Phew! All I drink is water - no tea, coffee, fizzy drinks. Like the British accent effort ;) I will try to lower my carbs, def. I usually have tuna, chicken, ham and eggs every day to keep the protein up. I often end up with…

He uses scales that measure your weight, hydration, fat, muscle etc. I don't know whats its called. You hold on to sensors to get the reading. All I can say is what the scales showed. 1.4 kg muscle gain, 1.2kg fat loss I didn't ask for people to judge what the scales said, I asked for advice to help me further my weight…

Calm down guys, I made a typo is all! I meant to put 1.4kg, not 4kg! My fault for writing this when I was knackered. My personal trainer measures the levels on his scales for me. My goal is for both fat loss and muscle gain. Tone as I go...

[/quote] Are you fit and healthy? Do you have any medical problems that would stop you using free weights for more of your routine? [/quote] I'm getting fitter, but no where near fit! I have crohns disease which affects my joints and energy levels a lot. I've only just been able to join the gym again, so I'm still getting…

It probably isn't - I'm not very knowledgeable about that sort of thing, so thought I'd ask. I do: 3 x 12-15 hip abductions (45) 3 x 12-15 leg press (50) 3 x 12-15 low row (40) 3 x 12-15 bench press (25) 3 x 12-15 shoulder press (20) Thats my routine each time I go to the gym. Cardio 30-50 minutes too.

I'm recording everything I have and do, I assure you! As soon as I eat/do something, I log it so I don't forget. Either way I do enough exercise on a daily basis to easily cover any small details I might have missed (oil sprays for cooking etc).

lol thats the one time I've had ww bacon :P I don't usually have it, but my OH was making dinner and put it in. I heard that marmite is actually pretty good for protein if you're needing a snack? Again, something I don't regularly have, but its yummy :P
-
Only a couple of lbs! I was just wanting to know for future reference :)
-
The water levels are more or less right, although usually its the thing I forget to update *oops* I mainly get up to the recommended amount.
-
Thank you both :) I'll try to up my protein and lower carbs. I still dont really understand why I've gained weight though...especially if I've under eaten, as surely that would mean I would stay the same?

This reminds me I need to make a playlist instead of being stuck on shuffle! Ones I skip to most: Any Dr Dre, Killswitch Engage, Rizzle Kicks, Daft Punk, Eminem, Pantera, Basement Jaxx, some Biffy Clyro. I like a lot of different music :) helps a lot when I'm at the gym.
