My understanding is. Yes muscle weighs more then fat so chuck scales out of the window. If you have a high bf% still and feel "skinny fat" then yeah sure hit the cardio to burn up the calories but lift weights aswell. You supposedly wont build muscle but by training them hopefully you wont lose any either. If you lose…

I would love to wear skinny jeans without making my thunder thighs and huge *kitten* look worse. Denim shorts and a slinky vest in the summer. Maybe a short dress but not too short (just above knee level). Corset type tops without having the fat part almost under your arm looking like it has its own clevage!!! A goal i did…

1. When you get in the bath you don't have to let water out to prevent a flood. 2. You can tie shoes/ paint toenails. 3. You can walk into ANY store and buy an item. 4. When you stop feeling like the dunce when you do a gym class. 5. You can run up stairs and not feel like your going to die at the top. 6. You stop dreading…

1. When u can't tie your shoe laces and or paint toenails 2. When you have to lift your tummy to quaff the lady garden 3. When you cannot breathe after going up the stairs (all 12 of them) 4. When you avoid nights out like the plague to the point you stop getting invites. 5. When you cannot avoid a night out/ event you…

Yow look A M A Z I N G, Taken 10 years off your face, You look like a different person!!! Very well done. I love the progress piccys. Makes me want to get off my *kitten* nd exercise!!!

I have grown out of all sorts. When i say that i mean i could happily never eat/drink said items again but should the mood take me i shall have them in moderation. chocolate (was a mega chocoholic big bar of dairy milk would be dusted without sharing) doritos and cream cheese or nacho dip (could eat a massive bag and a…

Bmr - 10-20% = weight loss However 2 hours + of cardio a day your BMR seems very VERY low. What setting have you put yourself as? sedentary? You can also eat your exercise calories back but be careful when logging exercise on here as it over estimates your burn by a country mile. If your going to eat back exercise calories…

Add weight training and cut cardio down :)

I vouch for squats with kettlebells. I lost 4 inches of my *kitten* tho in 4 weeks, 4 off hips 4 off waist and 1 off each thigh by doing 120 squats a day with a 10kg kettle bell but i have more definition and way less fat. I don't really know how you would go about bulking up tho so to speak other then lifting really…

Have u measured yourself recently? Maybe your losing inches instead of LB's?

If you want shakes get whey protien for after work outs. Unless your going to stay on shakes forever then take the time to learn more about healthy clean eating. If you have a goal weight then you will hit it on the shakes... but because you have not learned about nutrition and eating well as soon as you stop the "meal…

Have you checked out your inches rather then lb's? I bet you get a nice surprise! You will be building muscle while dropping fat hopefully!

Cut your cardio in half and add strength. Cannot stress the importance of building lean muscle and up your calories even if you have a 2-300 cal protien shake after a work out. If you do the same cardio routine day in day out your body gets used to it so maybe try a prog like insanity or turbo fire that's both cardio and…

The gym has not been my only form of working out. I have been hitting it very hard, However i have had my 4 week results confirmed by My GP and the gym both today so yeah i have done it.

Ok so in 4 weeks of going to the gym 3 times a week i have managed to lose 1st1lb in fat and gain 8lb of muscle. 4 inches off hips, 4 inches off waist, 4 inches off *kitten* and and inch from each thigh weight loss of 10lb. So you can't build muscle on 1200 calories... Rubbish! I did it!!!

Its nice that some people can go through pregnancy without a massive body change. I have the misfortune of crap skin. My tummy is a mass of stretch marks and i also had 1 section and still have my scar. I don't however see these as negative i see it as being a tigress who earned her stripes. Would i prefer not to have…

I would always take the lowest reading esp if you plan to eat back calories. Better to be safe then sorry.

The brand is clearly shyte if only "skinny" people can look good in them. The guy sounds like a grade A a*s* hole and he has done his beloved brand a lot of damage for being a thoughtless wobble gob.

Count me in too. i am also starting the 30 day squat challenge tho unofficially i have been doing 100 squats a day for the last 10 days or so but i thought... oh why not do them both!! Feel free to send fr all who are doing this xx

Monster zero is my fave drink ever. 1 can lasts me forever and stops me feeling hungry. Plus people in the UK thy sell it in some branches of poundland!!! For sure that drink has helped me to get to the point i am at now!!!

I would love to have arms like that. Its FAR from gross. Very well done xxxx

I forgot to say also the comparison in fruit and veg and mcdonalds is not accurate. My post was regarding in store shopping. you can get a frozen pizza or processed chicken nuggets and a bag of chips to feed 3 for £2. The healthy flip side chicken breast x 3, fresh carrots, sweet potato and broccoli would cost around…

I am in the UK and i agree to an extent that its cheaper to buy frozen food the it is to buy fresh fruit and veg for several reasons. 1. vast amount more shelf life on frozen processed crap, 2.No need to shop around if you cannot afford a car(iceland deliver free if u spend over £25) and several other reasons. I think…

I am 31 and a single mum of a 9 and 7 yr old. Split of partner of 15 years. Its tuff but i LOVE it. Even tho i have kiddos i finally feel in control of my own life. I am not interested in meeting a new bloke at the moment as i want to get to know me again. I have noticed when your not looking/interested they seem to come…

I got the dr double strength pills called xenecal or something like that... I lasted 2 months on them. My diet was so mega low fat because i was scared to eat anything with fat content of over 10% incase i shat myself. So in that respect i guess they worked. I did once have an indian meal. literally 2 spoon fulls of korma…

I have been informed you can not build muscle when your on a low calorie diet. For me its a simple case of... what is the point in the hard work really hitting the weights hard to build and tone lush slender muscles when you cannot see it for all the fat. So i needed to get rid of oddles of fat first before i could up my…

At the end of the day the beauty of this site... There is no one size fits all answer. What works for one might not work for another so, it makes sense to have different methods and different options to try. This means that when people hit that wall they can pretty much always find another option to try by reading forums.…

I find exercise eases up achey joints so push through it :) But not too hard!!

I have done this but i didn't feel i needed to finish the actual app. I just went and ran 5k myself after week 4 or 5 but this was because i was too busy singing and missed the stop to walk chime! Stick it out and when it starts getting tough don't forget you can repeat weeks where needed. Make sure you have good running…

Why don't you remove all friends to remove the competition element of burning exercise calories on MFP. I was like this to an extent then i realised, If a 350lb person does a 60min 3mph walk they burn WAY more calories then i did so i was being unrealistic trying to compete. Maybe 1 of the weight loss groups would be more…
