Bump. I have the exact same problem but on my legs. Any suggestions
-
I read an article on Yahoo today about the "8 glasses of water a day". Research has shown all fluid counts, tea, coffee, squash ect ect. I would count it as "water" but as someone else suggested log it just in case it has any carbs ect in it.

It all depends really. I don't usually eat back my calories. Like NateDad said you can lose muscle rather than fat if you don't eat enough although if you do the right mix of exercise then you can counter that. I have 1600 cals per day and don't eat back any but I do have a protein shake on training days to help with…

Stories like this really do show what hard work and effort can do. What was your secret?!?!?!?

I was looking at taking these and read that they can cause acne, really interested to see if anyone has any experiences. Green tea works great for people I know and I've started on those today!
-
YES, just when my legs are extended. I started taking Omega 3,6 and 9 and it stopped .... maybe just a coincidence but it may work. It is so annoying though!

Don't look at it as a diet but a lifestyle change. I think if you cut out everything you enjoy, or even go out and not let your hair down then whats the point? The whole idea is to make changes that are the rule and not the exception. 1 bad weekend isn't going to do any damage, how you react to it will. Good week of…

Well what a waste of £36. Took 2 today and have never felt so ill all day. Couldn't even face the gym and have a really bad headache. Natuaral Metebolism boosters for me from now.

Yeah I do weights almost everyday and my cardio is mainly interval training as my shins hurt if I jog for too long. I've taken two of the tablets so far today and I am getting a bit of a headache. I'll give it a week and then see how it has worked I think.

Your max HR is 220 minus your age. 60 - 70% is good for fat burning 70 - 80% is Aerobic 80 - 90% is Anerobic. I try to stay around 70-75% most of the time.

My SO is 5ft 6" and was 16 stone and I am 5ft 11.5 (6ft is shoes lol) and I was 26 stone. The reason I asked was I went to the gym today and my legs were dead, I had no energy at all.

I'll put it down to the fact she is breast feeding!

They do fill you up but I wouldn't use as a meal replacement. Oats are great in the morning, they keep you going right through. A protein shake (try maxiraw as it mixes great with water) either before or after exercise will help your body attack fat rather than muscle!
-
I had a quick look at your profile (and your kids are soooo cute!) I have 2 little ones and thats a gym session in itself! What I would say is try dropping to 1400-1600 cals a day. I'm 154kg and I eat 1600 a day, as long as you eat the right things you won't be hungry. Oats and Protein are great fillers! As someone said…

I'm looking for a HRM too, the ones on the cardio machines don't work all the time. I ideally want a strapless one (not sure how big the straps are and if they will fit :( ) Does anyone know of a good strapless HRM that does constant HR readings?

My Wife is doing WW and started the same time as I started (again) on MFP. She has lost 25lb in 5 weeks and I have lost 18lb in 5 weeks.... HOWEVER I don't think I like the PRO-POINTS system, I like the fact that you can eat any foods but for me that just would not work. I love the way MFP you track calories directly and…

I used to suffer with exercise headaches but it turned out it was more through dehydration and not breathing when doing weight training. Check your drinking enough water and look at doing some sort of interval training where you can keep your heart rate at a steady rate for long periods of time.

Don't use them! If you don't like drinking Green Tea you can get it in tablet form, its great for weight loss! Other things like Sea Kelp can be good. Most "diet" pills just contain, Green Tea, Cayene Pepper, Caffine and some CLA which is an amino acid. Stay to natural things all the way!

I only started my MFP 5 weeks ago and was lucky enough to have a top london trainer set my plan out. Can't complain 18lb lost in 5 weeks is nice and steady. Fitness wise I do: 40 - 50 minutes cardio - 6 times a week Then on a rota basis: Lunges and Kettlebells - 20 - 30 minutes Medicine Ball and Core - 20 - 30 minutes Back…

Its more to do with the "afterburn" effect. Zumba, Weight training ect will have a longer recovery rate than any moderate exercise. I try and mix jogging and weights at a ratio of 60/40 at the minute which is working well.
