Wow lots of great advice here. Thank u guys. I'm going to look into this a bit more.

What is carb cycling may I ask?

Can anybody recommend a good hrm that's not too costly

I've actually never had my thyroid tested...if after I start this journey again and I see no progress I will get checked.

How would you suggest I calculate this...I'm considering purchasing a fitbit...would you recommend?

I'm definitely not pregnant.

Yes you are right...I need to reevaluate..start again!!

Hmm seems the generally consensus is to get back to the logging. I will take a your comments on board. I will start again tomorrow and keep track of what I eat and hopefully I will see a significant difference. Barneygood - I don't mean to eat so little. I try not to snack and as standard eat 3 low cal meals a day. Any…

Yeah I gave up logging my food when I started to get demotivated...I am going to start logging again though. Gophil - I don't do weight training apart from a body pump class...bit I imagine that's not really the kind of weight training you mean. Otherwise I do at least an hr to an hr and half of cardio. I participate in…

Omg mine is mcdonalds...double cheese burger. Im a sucker for it esp on a hangover.

No I do not measure. I keep saying I will but i've not measured since about 2011. So it won't be accurate during this plateau. Every1 says the scale will catch up but how long will that take? I know my eating is not as clean as it could be but I do not over eat...I probably under eat tbh and my biggest weakness is carbs. I…

This is great guys. Its given me a good starting point. Thank u

I've lost a lot too and my love handles have shrunk but its the 1 area which doesn't seem to be on proportion with the rest of my body it's so annoying. S' pose I just need to keep on gyming and hopefully they eventually catch up with the rest of my body.

Thanks I've started doing 30 day plank challenge so hopefully that will increase my core strength. How do I measure my body fat percentage?

Yes is currently happening to me too I put on 5lbs when I started. And 3 weeks later I have lost 2lba in the last 2 days. Its really annoying. I need to start measuring because I have no idea if any inches are coming off...and I don't feel like I look any different. I will keep going and hopefully see a change soon. Thanks…

I'm not new to working out but I've recently changed my routines and this was my 1st body pump class in about 2 years. It is just soreness...it's not an injury pain or anything. I'm going to power through body combat tonight and see how I feel on Thursday for spinning. I reckon once I get going I might be ok, but the…

I'm in

very well said

im totally in.

Ohhh thank god it's not just me. I am still working out, I actually find the pain of TOM disappears the more active I am. Just the rest gets to me. I don't know why I bother weighing when I'm on, not smart at all. As for the cravings, i'm gonna have to be smarter about it, and fight the urge to over indulge.

I love this thread! I did some tonight, but not the ones from this thread!

Why does the weekend make for really unhealty eating! Ggrrrr! Went gym both sat and sun, but I also had chinese on sat and chips and sauage, and mini doughtnuts on sun! Gggrrrr

Awww thanks for the special mention... And I'm very sorry to gear about ur dad! It means a lot that u've still been able to come on here and keep us all motivated! Hope ur ok! I completed D1 L3 today! Killed me! Had to stop more times than I would have liked, many times to check what I was actually suppose to be doing! Did…

Goal weight by 1st May - 203lbs Start weight 1st April -(starting weight) 209lbs April 8th - 210lbs (WTF) April 15th: 205.2 woohoo 5.2lbs lost in a week! So chuffed! April 22nd: April 29th May 1st:

Well D5 L2 completed today, man it's killing me. Still can't seem to get through the whole without stopping at least once. I'm going to continue with L2 for another 2 days. Then move onto doing level2 in the morning and level3 in the evening until I go away to Portugal on the 17th... arrgghhh i'm dreading it already as I…

I'm on day 2 of level 2 and my god, its soooo much easier (surprisingly) than level 1. I've cut short how long i do each level as i'm no going away earlier than planned, which would be right in the middle of the 30DS. Watched level 3 though and im terrifyed.

Mine comes off my stomach 1st. Now my face is loosing and my stomach has stopped. Legs and arms just don't want to shift.

Ive hit mine now, and i've only lost 6lbs. I'm so angry. upped my workout regime and everything. I dunno what to do.

Ive not heard of it. What is it?

10LBS IN A WEEK?! Whats your secret? ls share.
