  • I entered and named my own exercise. I only track it as 1 cal per minute as I am interested in hours per week / month and I know 60 per hour isn't OTT . You could easily put the calories burned to zero if you wanted
  • In non scientific terms, I have always know it to be called "getting your second wind"
  • Reading with interest , many here will be thinking they have noticed similar results while exercising at maintenance. I know since the turn of the year I have dropped an inch and a half from my waistline while my weight has stayed very static. I don't lift heavy as many do, but I have at least started with some basic…
  • Having had similar issues, I can say that you cannot spot reduce. I have reduced my weight by 37 pounds and my waist by 6 inches. This is "our" problem area and only by reducing our overall bf% will we see the belly flab reduce Weights.. great , cardio ... great . Fork putdowns and table pushaways work best.
  • Cafe Nero Caramel latte ... cream version... just short of 500 cals . Luckily it's a 9 mile walk to the nearest cafe
  • No matter how busy you are, eating less takes no time at all
  • I look at the photos where my waist was 39 inches , then I check the mirror, see it's about 33 and remind myself I don't want to be able to not fit into my clothes again
  • it doesn't have to be set in stone. Start it off at lightly active and keep an eye on the gains and the weight and tailor it as needed as you move forward. If you're hitting the weights again, then better (imho) to have a little extra padding to start with
  • trendweight.com nuff said :)
  • Aspartame Saves me 7.5 teaspoons of sugar per day in my coffee , makes my oasis strawberry flavour taste great , makes my angel delight type desert taste yummy and gets lots of peoples panties in a bunch too result all round
  • Nothing wrong with reducing your loss or even re-evaluating your goals ( which are ?? ) going to have to tighten up on the mindless snacking and not logging though if you have goals you want to achieve ?
  • Nice results for 18 months and gives people a good idea how long and how hard it can be to get these results
  • You have to eat Cleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Sugar is the cause of all evil
  • definitely sweets , struggling lately to not polish off a bagful once I start. Still I stopped smoking so I cannot complain too much
  • What are your goals ? If all you want to do is lose weight... then a calorie deficit is all you need If you want to help create a healthier lifestyle, then I would look at adding weights and cardio. Some people don't like the gym, that's fine but it will help to lift some heavy things and the chances of you getting bulky…
  • Seen great results from people who were heavy and lifted. You have already bulked... now lift and cut :) As a rule of thumb, eat , lift , cardio or whatever you want to do. A calorie deficit will result in lowering your weight. If you were me, hit the gym , careful with how much you eat , add a bit of cardio and tell me if…
  • Eat it when you want , for me personally I don't eat until after exercise in the morning... and there are many people who eat first thing and still lose weight. It's all about the calories and nothing to do with meal timings or any other hocus pocus
  • Best to read up about supplements before you start taking them. When I got my first lot of creatine, it mentioned drinking more and taking a week off every once in a while. It's water weight and you need to drink more by the sounds of it, all good

  • 4.75 digi food scale incl delivery here in the uk.. ....safest for me. Grabbing handfuls is what got me here
  • LOL at the 29 years olds sneaking in before Carousel :P

  • hehe if talking burned calories....
  • as a rule of thumb .. if you have a calorie deficit ... you lose if you have a calorie surplus... you gain There is no such thing as starvation mode. No people in the 3rd world who stay fat when they don't get enough to eat. At a guess, you are logging inaccurately ( burns or food intake ) but as it hasn't been too long, I…
  • A Plateau is just maintenance in disguise. I would guess for most people it's just that they need to tighten their logging up a bit ( back to weighing properly , not eyeballing out of laziness ) and re adjusting their calorie burns. I do a lot of walking , when my loss started to taper off , I realised that my body had…
  • Yep another walker here. 2.5k miles the last calendar year and have added weights since January to try and keep it all moving along. I bought an exercise bike when I first saw how out of shape and heavy I was, then I started checking and counting what I was eating. Sometimes you have to say enough is enough and no more…
  • Well done on the progress so far. Now is going to be the time to tighten up on your weighing and logging and work forward from there. I will presume you were weighing your food before ? if not then then start right now, if you stopped weighing your portions... then now is the time to resume Stop with the timetable... self…
  • winnie the pooh... honey puddings proper sized wagon wheels , mars bars etc etc marathons loads more that I cannot remember right now, in for adding more later
  • Lose too fast and you could end up with loose skin... Lose too much muscle .. Slow and steady is safest
  • Reduce your overall body fat % is what you need to do . arm fat, belly fat .. thigh fat etc etc cannot be spot reduced

  • Continue to reduce your bf% overall , you cannot spot reduce. Loads of us struggle with specific areas
