This won't be very helpful but different people tend to reach/remain in ketosis at different levels of macros. I don't do Atkins, but I know you can buy stips or something that will tell yiu if you're still in Ketosis. If you really want to keep the protein bars in your diet and do Atkins as well, it might be worth your…

Depends what you like to spend your time doing! Personally, I have solely been working on getting strong this year and seeing that progress is whaylt motivates me generally, where when I included more cardio, eventually I didn't look forward to my sessions so much, and I was a lot less consistent. Do you have a preference?…

this. Im 5'2. I gained 15kg since the first pic in 2013, and started lifting heavy weights in Feb this year...then this happened.

*so much excite

More friends here would be great. Im 3 weeks in - looking to lose 15-20kg, and also to get super strong. so... its going to take a while

Hey, I just wanted to add a personal side note which might help. After I had lost about 7kg my progress halted for about 3 weeks even though I was eating right and working out 5 days a week...then...wooosh lost almost 3 kilos overnight. Just remember the scales are an imperfect tool.

Is there anything in particular you are worried might interfere with your motivation?

My sisters personal trainer let his clients do a 2 day fast of greens only. But never to exceed 2 days. Also if your struggling over those 2 days throw in some protien ie chicken

I had a bit of a break counting calories over christmas and its been 3 weeks now trying to get back on track but I'm going crazy on weekends. As in eating over maintenance, by alot. All I can attribute it to is having a 1000cal deficit every day during the week. This week I'm going to aim for 750cal daily deficit and see…

Buddha's Tears Expensive, but the best green tea I've ever had.

i started out alone and now my sister has a personal trainer and some of the girls i work with have joined gyms as well. i wasnt planning on leading by example or anything, but at christmas when i was alone with my mum she said "you losing weight has been the best thing ever for your sister because she is so motivated now"…

What is something you have suceeded in at life? What was your attitude towards that thing/challenge? What makes your attitude towards weight loss different? Also What specifically do you think is going to be the hardest about losing weight? Prepare in advance. If you are afraid of late night binges a) no binge food in the…

not my type :P (gender-bias, sorry haha)

Imagine the next 10kg! I bet you can't

you have my sympathy :)

*assumed was troll. Cant stop laughing.

195 is the max heart rate for my age and my personal trainer was always very happy when I got into the 190's on the stair machine. Only difference I guess is that we only do that high intensity for maybe 2 minutes at a time.

might not be there on the scales but remember my six weeks then BAM

It used to make me horribly embarrassed until I got back to the size I was before I gained tons. someone said before, and its the same with me, as soon as I say I work out 6 days a week theyre not really interested anymore.

Is late night right now? I did a friend cull of a whoooole lot of inactive people today. Should probably stock up on more friends hahahahahaha

this was happening to me for 6 weeks (I weight the same as you) and then in the ladt 2 days I dropped 1.5kg. I dont know if i was tracking in accurately. My deficits some days were very high (like 1000cal or more) but there were also several days in a row where I ate too much because it was making me depressed. All I can…

After 2 years of trying to lose weight I only really stopped binge eating when I started working out consistantly (5 days a week)

Numbers don't work forever :( I should have lost 6kg in the last 8 weeks by the numbers and I've only lost 3

Here is a beginners bodyweight workout for you. It's all you need. I even have a personal trainer and although I do do a lot of stuff with weights - heeeaps of what we do together is bodyweight. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

im unmedicated bi-polar as well - i had to quit my honours degree at uni because of the crazy it brought out in me. Basically for me without clean eating + exercise at LEAST 1hr per day 6 days per week I start to lose it - but also I find i ALWAYS feel like you describe when I'm not getting enough sleep. If I start feeling…

have you read or heard anything about Eat Stop Eat? I have started using a 24hour fast recently, only maybe once every 2 weeks, I fasted today because I went over on both wednesday and friday this week. I works for me. If you've never tried it before maybe this istn the perfect plan to fix a binge day - i tried it like 6…

I've read that you dont need to worry about starvation mode while you have a high body fat percentage.
