I used to be 150lbs and I think I looked good and I did feel healthy at that weight. I put on loads of weight but hopefully looking to get it off again. Between 140-150lbs is recommended for around that height. Aim for that weight and then you decide when to stop or continue, see how you feel. I wish you all the best

That is absolutely marvellous. I have been inspired to get my butt back into gear. I have just started a July challenge at work to get ourselves motivated. THANK YOU!!!!

That is excellent I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. It is so true that people do judge a book by its cover, people see a large person and automatically make presumptions. Good attitude, good workout well done.

I read somewhere that the figure of 1200 has been suggested as a minimum figure for women by the ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) the corresponding figure for males is 1800. The maximum weight loss recommended is about 1 kg (2 lbs) per week. To lose 1 kg, you theoretically have to cut back on 3850 calories per…

I just had a look at it it doesn't seem that bad as you can modify it to the foods that you generally eat.
