I have noticed that by changing the foods I eat to be lower carb my stomach has come down much faster than the rest of me. That however is because of the bloating that bread and pasta causes in me.

left overs, fruit and some jerky or similar for the afternoon. I also try to not take spending money so I am not able to go to a cafe and buy anything.

I have been low carb for a long time now and just modify dishes to have mine without the carbs. Hamburgers without the bun and spag bol without the spag :) I make a hearty salad most nights

I have mine black with a teaspoon of coconut oil. If I am out I order a macchiato.

I was planning on trying it for making my chai latte tonight. I usually have it in my smoothie in the morning for breakfast.

walking is great, I have a desk job so try to go for a walk around the block at lunchtimes and find my afternoon far more productive if I do.

I start with a dinner plan for the week then buy the ingredients for that. Then look at lunches and what i need for baking (almond flour, liquid honey etc) Breakfast is protein shake and berries or scrambled eggs. I still get treats for my sons but buy then a tin of hot choc and pack of muesli bars each and write their…

you look fabulous! Well done.

alcohol is a depressant, one that I particularly enjoy however.

Rain coat man

I get dizzy during deadlifts so just take my time. I have low blood pressure so sometimes get dizzy if standing up too fast. Feeling relieved to read this actually.

first of all, good on you for exercising! I would reccomend taking measurements so you dont just rely on the scales. Then take note of what your scales show and compare against them next week. Make sure you are eating plenty of veges and fruit also

under eating and over training?

pretend to be a food critic :)

I was eating between 12 and 8pm and have just changed to eating between 3 and 8pm and having Saturdays off. It is really working for me and I am enjoying just not having to worry about food all the time.

hi there, keen on adding friends too. I am 2/3 of the way to my goal.

music or a good podcast. Not Ricky Gervais though cos last time people were looking at me when i started laughing.

I really admire the 82 year old lady I met at the gym a month ago. She comes in every day and works out to the best of her ability. I also admire the mother and daughter team who would be at least 150kg each who come in most days and work out. The mum told me that they used to have to take the elevator to the gym floor but…

wow really? I am going to try some too.

I am getting a floral half sleeve when I hit goal weight. I am really looking forward to it.

for a weights day I love these, stronger by Kelly Clarkson Knights of Cydonia by Muse This is my warmup track it really gets me in the right headspace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuPLxQD4akQ cardio, i like pitbull or david guetta

I have zero refined sugar in my diet, no cakes, biscuits, bread etc however just having fruit puts me over.

I have been stuck in the same 3 kg for 2 months now. But people are commenting on my weight loss and I have dropped a clothes size. Scales are not reliable indicators of progress, I know that in my head but still find myself standing on them every day :)

Sugar gets hold of me sometimes too. I find that sugar free jelly can help if I am desperate.

thanks so much, it is all coming together in my head now. I had started with live fit but was getting overwhelmed when my workouts were taking nearly 90min. As a working mum I simply dont have time. I am looking forward to this and will get started tomorrow. I have downloaded the strong log app, is that the one you girls…

to be honest I feel like this when I have too many carbs. If this is a factor for you it would explain why after a run you feel better. Perhaps experiment for a week and see how you feel. Also are you drinking enough water?

subway and pita pit also do salads :) Sushi is a great option.

Pretty keen on one of these, trying to work out my acutal calorie burn so I can get the intake right , one question though....does it measure strength training? Or just movement? I do mostly strength training so need to be able to work out those calories without a hrm.

Definitely start light, better to add weight than to hurt yourself. Also if you can, have an instructor at the gym check your form first time with a new exercise.

I have just started using it and it never has me go backwards. Maybe it is the setting you are selecting? I do find I feel very uncoordinated on it and have to really focus to have a sip of my drink :) on the plus side however can go flat out for 30minutes without hurting knees or shins unlike the treadmill.
