Thanks for your help everyone :) i love it on here its a really nice, helpful, non-judgemental little community! Going to take all your comments on board and swap some of my cardio for strength training and start eating more protein :) feeling much more positive now i have a plan!

Thanks guys theres some really brilliant advice from you all! I cant understand why my gym instructor didnt tell me to strength train aswell when he did my induction because it sounds exactly what i need! I have got dumbells (not sure if thats how its spelt lol) and i do have the mark lauren book too but cant seem to get…

Ok i will have a look on google thankyou :) no ive never had my body fat measured as I dont ever go to the doctors and dont know where else i could go to have this done? Is there a way of measuring it at home?

So basicly i could have more body fat than i used to at a low weight because i've lost muscle too? I've never looked at it that way before that seems to make sense :) when i change my goal on mfp to maintain though it still gives me a 1200 goal? Is that just a glitch with my app? Or is it low because i've lost so much…

What sort of strength training would you recommend? I use the treadmill, rowing machine, elliptical machine and static bikes at the gym but i know they are classed as cardio not strength. Its just so dis-heartening after working so hard to lose 4 stone but feeling the same way as i did before i started :(

Thats what i thought but it did take my height and age into account too so its really confused me, i havent weighed in the 8 stone margin since i was 14 and to be honest im not sure it would be healthy atall, but on the flip side im still unhappy at the weight i am because of how my tummy looks, just dont know what to do :(

I'm 5'6 and i've been eating 1200 a day since may this year and have lost 47lb. I generally have just a latte for breakfast (never been able to stomach food early in the morning) but for the amount of calories i have you could have a cereal bar, 2 slices of weight watchers bread toasted with light butter or something…

Seem to have missed the 2 replies above jgonzo82 thanks guys those are some great tips! (Although not sure if I'm keen on the thought of laxatives though lol) so minimum exercise, minimum carbs and sodium, lots of water in the day or 2 before the weigh in and then I'm thinking no food or drink after 6pm the night before…

Thats brilliant thank you exactly what I'm looking for! I will be sure to go and have a read :) Thats fine I'm not expecting to shed any extra fat like I said its just all about getting those numbers down on the day. I realise the only way to loose weight and keep it off is with good eating and exercise I just loathe the…

Thank you both :) yes your right the main reason we started the bet was as motivation, the changes I am making are permanent lifestyle changes and I feel so much better already! He's just annoying me being over cocky so I just want to prove a point at the weigh in too lol. Guess I might be better off asking google but…
