Why did/didn't you regain weight?
It's something that I've been thinking about over the last week even though I've never regained any weight, probably because I haven't even finished losing it yet. I read a lot of posts about people who have lost weight, put it back on, and are now losing it again. But none of them ever explained why. So naturally I did a…

Piriformis Syndrome?
I'm 20 years old and I've been cycling for about nine months now to burn fat. I'm finally where I want to be and ready to build muscle so last week I purchased P90X but just a few days after I purchased P90X, the top of my left leg started aching (more specifically my ar*e cheek). I thought I had pulled a muscle or…

P90X Questions
So I'm going to start P90X on May 1st as that's the day I completely finish university for the year and I'll have 3 months of free time to get in shape but I have a couple of questions that I can't really find the answers to using google. 1. I tend to catch colds quite often (I have a terrible one right now) and when I get…

Protein Shakes/Bars
Right now I don't work out in a gym and just work out at home for 30 minutes 3-4 days per week. I use a set of free weights, a pull-up bar and my own body weight to do so. Would I benefit from extra protein from supplements on the days I work out or would it just be a waste of money until I get to the gym and start lifting…

Overindulgence
During the period I put on the most weight (I went from 160 to 224 lbs in a year) I had decided not to go to university, I was unemployed and I stopped going out with friends. I'm not quite sure why, but during this period my favourite hobby was setting out an array of deliciously fattening foods (such as chocolates,…

19 Year Old Guy 70 lbs Fat Loss
I posted a similar thread a couple of months ago but I've lost another 14 lbs since then and I'm finally ready to stop losing weight and start putting on some muscle (for now anyway). My plan is to change my diet up and work out 4 days per week to build some muscle and hopefully slowly burn fat at the same time. My goal…

57 lbs lost with pictues (18 Y/O Guy)
I started on the 1st July 2012 weighing 224 lbs (16 Stone) and I'm currently 167 lbs (11 Stone 13) as of the 1st January 2012. I didn't take a picture until the 1st August because of how ashamed I was but now I wish I did take a picture earlier, just so I'd get to see how far I've come. I'm not done yet, I'm looking to get…

Skinny-fat guys on P90X?
Just wondering if there are any ex-skinnyfat guys on here that have completed P90X or a similar plan. I've got your typical skinnyfat physique and I really want to tone up and add some mass when I'm done dieting. Did it work for you?

Half Way There (No Pictures)
I've been on my journey for just over three months now and have lost 35 of the 70 pounds that I want to lose. When I do reach the full 70, I'll post before and after pictures. The pictures in this sub forum have motivated me so much and I can't wait to post mine when I'm done. Here are my measurements so far. Height: 5"9…

My Motivation
This may sound strange, but it has helped me build up a lot of strength to continue on my journey so I thought it would be worth posting. I'm half-way through my journey and after two and a half months of hard work, I have started to slack lately. But over the last few days I've been having this recurring dream, and in…

Back/Neck injury, please help
Last night I injured my upper left back when doing chin-ups and it didn't hurt too much at the time. I then fell asleep and woke up this morning to a horrible pain around my shoulder/neck/upper back. I can't rotate my head without experiencing the pain. My GP is closed until monday and I'm assuming it is a pulled muscle so…

Elevated Push-ups vs Regular
I've googled this question and read through countless articles and forum posts, only to find contradicting answers. I would like to know if elevated push-ups are as useful as regular push-ups. I will usually rest my feet up on an arm chair and place my hands on the ground. I do that because I have a toe injury which can't…

No Longer 'Obese'
I don't have any pictures or anything, but when I started on the 9th of July my BMI was 32.5. After my last weigh in, I now have a BMI of 29.8. I know it doesn't mean anything officially, I still haven't had my BF% tested and such, but it was the first milestone I set for myself and it feels good reaching it. Next stop 25…

Struggling to meet your calorific goals?
If you are struggling to keep your calorie intake below your suggested daily amount because you feel portion sizes are too small or the food doesn't taste good enough, I had the same problem. What I did was look to the Tesco Light Choices range (British grocery retailer). The ready-made meals are generally low in calories…

Is a 'break day' a good idea?
The hardest part for me to get started was to stop eating sugary junk, which I've been addicted to for pretty much my whole life. I just cut it all out on the day I started and now I've been dieting for almost five weeks. So, for anybody else who gets addicted to sugary snacks, is it a good idea to have a break day once a…

I'm new here
Most of my life I haven't had that much of a weight problem. I'm 5"9 and weighed between 150-160 lbs for most of my teenage years, but the last two years I've just been lazy and put on weight that I need to take off. I started my diet four weeks ago today on the 13th of July and so far, in four weeks, this is my progress.…
