@AllanMisner‌ Thank you! In my legs/butt weight lifting session on Monday and thursday I already do squats and deadlifts. Should I just add the rows, bench press, ect to that and call it full body and do that 2/3 times a week?

@Allanmisner Goals are to build and maintain muscle. Ive been in the fitness 'world' for a few years now. Mainly cardio but most recently got into weight lifting.

I sadly dont have a bench but i can work without it. Ill look into it, thanks! Im following a certain programme at the moment which requires legs and glutes to be worked on the same day, so i thought id just stick with that plan.

Since when does carbs help more than protein with muscle repair?

I have to have flavoured dark chocolate if it's going to be strong. I'm on the Orange dark chocolate at the moment - moving on slowly to raspberry dark chocolate. Mint had GOT to be the best though

I used to buy already made sausage rolls, take the meat out and put Cadbury mini eggs in them and eat the chocolate and pastry together... That was a bad phase :neutral_face:

I've lost 74lbs!! I used to weigh 224 lbs and now I'm 150lbs :) I did lose 100lbs before, but I ended up putting half of that back on. It's taken about 3-4 years. On and off :smile:

They recommend the ridiculous low of 1200 or just above and as i said, i dont want to lose muscle. Plus, ive had experience with a very low cal 'diet' and it didnt make me feel my best.

I recently bought the polar loop! waiting to receive it but I love the sound of it and cant wait to start using it. I bought for £65 off eBay

https://www.kaylaitsines.com.au/guides It's a downloadable guide with workouts to do over 12 weeks. I didn't buy the programme - my friend bought and let me have a copy of the PDF but it is quite expensive. It consists on 2 circuits on workout days and you have to do the circuit 2 times each. There are 4 exercises in each…

Quest are doing protein powder!? Whhhaaaaattt?

Cookie dough peanut butter... OMG, I would eat the whole tub plus more if I could.

The implant doesn't make you gain weight. Eating to much does. You're obviously eating more than you are claiming to be eating. The implant does increase hunger though, so maybe your just unconsciously snacking to rid of the hunger?

Done!!

Going to do this now! These challenges are awesome!

^ I was talking about the basic one, without the push-up! Haha, the fitness world seems to not like burpees so much!!

Beautiful! Well done to both of you :)

You've literally got to be an idiot to follow Freelees advice. She takes being a vegan to the next level and everyone is below her if they dont eat 3000+ calories a day of fruit or if they are not like her. Like who wants to just eat fruit for the rest of their lives anyway? eugh. She promotes unhealthy things like ''being…

I started 224lbs and I now weigh 164lbs. I've lost 60 lbs over a course of 3 years. I do have a bit of an issue with loose skin but that is because my weight yo-yoed quite a bit.

I had BED (binge eating disorder) and bulimia. I had counselling and I kicked it to the curb! Parts of the BED come up still in my life but I've learned how to stay on track!

Yeah it's my first month of doing it. I had known about Blogilates for a while but didn't have the willpower to do it, but now it has finally hit me! :) Some of the moves in the workout vids are a little bit hard for me at the moment but I still do the best I can with them. By the end of each workout I'm literally dripping…

I very much doubt that you gained 7lbs of fat in a week. Most of it is likely to be water retention. You were celebrating an amazing thing. You are allowed to let go once and a while, you just have to pick yourself back up after and carry on. Just return to your normal routine of eating healthy and exercising daily and…

I'm on the Blogilates august month calendar at the moment! I love the workouts I've had so far! I'm not a vegan though. I'm a flexiterian - which means I do eat meat but certain types and not very often!

That's perfect! Thank you!

Eugh... I give up. There is literally no point. Thanks to those you that actually understood , gave some relevant advice and helped.

I really didn't want my OLD issue being mentioned but people don't seem to understand. Yes, I had an eating disorder. It was BED (binge eating disorder) and it still lingers around in my head. That's why it's such a battle for me. I'm fighting myself mentally. This didn't need to go on a ED form because I wasn't making…

I am OP.

How about, you consider that everyone is different and that not everybody's mind processes the same. What if someone had a mental disorder - that changed their relationship with food badly and just asked for some advice?

Oh and thank you all who have commented! I'll speak to him a bit more about it and see if we can come to a conclusion. He apparently wants to stop eating junk too but he doesn't have the dedication to hold back from buying it. I'm not going to control what he eats at all! He's a big Strong man! I'm not going to hold him…
