I used to run about 3 miles a day as well as hit the gym about 4 times a week. At that point my resting heart rate was about 42 bmp. Now I run a lot less but go to the gym 7 days a week and my resting heart rate is about 47bmp - 52bpm. There's a great iPhone app called Heart Monitor which I use its free and easy to use…

Extremely sunny London, have managed to loose a considerable amount of weight over the last 18 months now Im trying to get myself beachfit and get better at tracking my daily calories and maintaining my macros to help me get in the best shape ever. Currently on 2054 Caloriess a day / low carbs, high protein and low fats…

Love how realistic you are about your goals, absolutely great start. You will definitely achieve your goals :)

I am currently trying hypertrophy training, so I'm at the gym 7 days a week. Start with PushDay which consists of chest, shoulders & triceps light weight high reps about 20 - 25. Day two is PullDay which focuses on back exercises & biceps. DayThree is LegsDay, the hardest sofar because of my baby legs. Then Day Four is my…

I went with quinoa as my main rice substitute, really helped, its got the added benefit of having a decent amount of protein in it so helps with slow steady digestion and of course great carb release!

I weigh myself way too much. Before and after every gym session. After a while its not that helpful, im on a macrobiotic diet at the moment and counting the calories massively as Im on a deficit to loose more body fat and gain more lean muscle mass... Muscle weighs more than fat so even though my daily caloric intake keeps…

Just added you bro. Just keep that winning mentality and keep your eyes on the finish line!

I'm interested as hell. Holla this way please :)

Do it, do it do it! Love the motivation bro keep it up!

I dropped down from a UK 36 Waist to a UK 29 Waist and then back up to a 31 Waist... Got so excited when I dropped the mass weight I went out on a shopping spree, can't wear any of the clothes I bought anymore :( but F*** it I feel great and at the end of the day that's all that matters!... Having said that, Im just…

You've got better arm definition than me, that's so awesome! Keep up the oh so hard work you are killing it!!!

Damn good work!

Damn that's a lot of calories. What's your timing between meals? #Impressive

London Town - Feel free to add me for constant advice and motivation all friends welcome!

Blow blow blow your trumpet hun - Keep up the great work and the whole community will blow it too :)

Borderline 25 over here, Im holding on for as long as possible! Feel free to add - everyone is always super supportive!

Its definitely doable. Before I started bench pressing I started off with daily push up exercises. As the number I could do increased so did the size and shape of my chest. Its all about breaking the muscle and then having enough calories in your system to help with repair and growth. If you are focusing on body weight…

Hi Mate, Well done on the positive results already, you are definitely thinking right and on the right track. I completely agree with Neandermagnon about this being a long term game, this is the best strategy if you want to loose weight and build the strength of mind to keep the weight down, too many people want fast…

Good luck bro just keep working hard you will get your pro body back in no time!

I used to obsess massively about meals after a workout. I would feel massively conflicted, as on the one hand I had finished an hour weights session and ended with some fat burning cardio so of course I deserved a meal as a reward right... It took a while but I soon realised that using food as a reward mechanism could only…

Awesome hitting those high protein macro targets, I've been struggling to hit mine for weeks now despite loving protein of all shapes and sizes and having loads of added shakes available... I just need to try a bit harder and get the timing down like you have here - GREAT WORK!

AMAZING!!!

Wow you guys are all simply inspirational! Can't believe some of the changes - you all ROCK!!!!

Next time you make it post a pic... Sounds good, I worry I would find a way to ruin it by adding some kind of meat to it, will have to resist the temptation!

Good luck hun, I have been on way more diets than any man my age should care to admit and as good as some have been at helping shed weight I think being made aware of my food intake and caloric figures each day has been and continues to be the most beneficial thing to me. Remember its the victories that win you the war,…

Your journey is not a lone mission but a shared adventure. Lets all hit our targets and keep on improving day after day - love the energy in here from everyone!!!!

I think you've got some great advice there - I think once you have settled into the roll and figured out the distance and best route for your travel you could cut your train or bus journey short on one or two nights a week and jog / bike ride home a reasonable distance, say one or two miles. When I was trying to loose…
