" Thanks - is called "Lose Weight App For Men" - to be honest was the first one came up on the Android App Store but has a lot of downloads and mostly positive reviews. Has three levels Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced - gives you a routine each day that on Beginner level is about 5-10 mins and slowly builds over the 30 day program. Can tie it to Google Fit too so combine the two to track the routines and step count | |||

"Day 144 here now 46.3lbs/21kg down. 50mins of fasting high intensity cardio in the AM, 40mins before bed. Food, bran flakes and lots of protein, eggs, chicken, lean bacon if I need the electrolytes. Carbs or whatever in case I'm waning just small amount though. Please don't ever be upset if you gain a pound here or there, look at the trend. A Pokal Ikea glass of water is over a pound. It might just mean you drank more. So don't beat yourself up, I fluctuate easily 2+kg from after the AM cardio to before bed. That's about 5 pounds. So don't let the scales define your happiness. Keep it up everyone and don't lose all those curves, I'm aiming for healthy and happy myself, sexy comes from those two I think. ![]() Well said ![]() | |||

"New to this thread .... Rejoined SW just for motivation really. I’d been doing so well on my own and my diabetes was well under control with meds, good diet and plenty of exercise Since this lockdown which I’ve found so much harder than the others .... more stress I’ve turned back to snacking and only exercising probably a quarter of what I did before and at my diabetic clinic last week this showed in my blood results I’ve got 12 weeks to get back on track as don’t want any more meds to the ones I already have " SW is quite good in that the recipes are very tasty and although I’ve never done SW per se, I do sometimes eat some of the recipes. It’s tough when you’re not feeling in the mood, but the book I recommended above as good reading material (and the author sees lots of people who have tried all sorts of diets under the sun) is not only an interesting read, but has tips that I have used. Sleep is also important. Not only does it play a role in weight loss but it also affects your appetite and the hormone that makes you feel hungry. Other take-homes from the book are: lose your bread bin.- you’re not going to need it any more. Stay away from refined carbs, so pasta typically, go for whole grains where possible. Lose alcohol as much as you can and also sugar, but that really comes under the refined carbs heading largely. A higher fat diet will sustain you for longer between meals. There is a lot of talk about cholesterol and dietary fat, but the science seems to be changing on that, but worth keeping an eye on it just in case. Cool from scratch as much as you can is also an important one. I don’t own a set of scales. They’re largely pointless for a couple of reasons. As a poster has said above, sudden weight loss in a short period of time can sometimes be explained by going to the toilet!! Also, as you exercise more, especially if you do any form of strength training, your muscle mass will increase, so it will seem like you’re putting on weight without an indication of how and people usually assume the worst and think it’s fat and they are not progressing well. The best sort of scales if you want a home set is one that includes a body composition meter, preferably not one that just has electrodes for your feet, but one that has hand grips with electrodes as well. Some gyms have them and the good ones are really expensive (eg Boditrax). This is obviously an academic point at the moment as they are shut. I could go on about body composition meters, because they’re usually not used properly, but all I’ll say is that tracking daily or even weekly is going to lead to disappointment and demotivation, when you see a result that suggests you’re going in the wrong direction - weight can fluctuate over smaller periods of time, but what you want is a trend in the right direction over time. Without wanting to sound like some guff on Insta, I am not a PT nor do I work in a gym. I am 50 years old, used to have a 36” waist, but bow have a body fat percentage of about 7%. I can quite honestly say that I am in the best shape that I have been in all my life. The book has helped me understand what I needed to do to get to where I want to be and as was said by someone above, having a goal to work to (and a plan on how to get there) is important. Also, anything that promises quick results or magic cures avoid like the plague. Even weight loss from the drug recently reported in the news to aid weight loss can reverse one it is no longer taken. Good luck!!! | |||

Nope, gyms closed so I'm excercising far less ![]() It is a kicker that the gyms are closed. The only suggestion I have is a home HIIT class (there are quite a few on Vimeo, my gym is doing them online). But it really depends if you enjoy that kind of stuff. I managed to snag some weights and a bench before the last lockdown, so I’ve been able to keep going to some extent, though cardio is a little challenging at the mo. | |||

"I stayed the same this week. Slightly disheartening but at least its not a gain. This is meant in the nicest possible way: this is the trouble with monitoring weight too regularly. It becomes demotivating and you may actually be making good progress towards your goals. Also, if you’ve been exercising, you could be gaining muscle. Nope, gyms closed so I'm excercising far less ![]() I have a heart condition so I can't do HIIT but thanks ![]() | |||

"Worth remembering to not be too hard on yourself, it's the back end of a long lockdown, the new year motivation has faded and the cold (really fekking cold) reality has set in. If you're doing better than when you started you're winning! Finding my resistance to all sweet things has disappeared so thought I'd spread some positivity! " Too right. I’ve had to resort to running, which I reluctantly do while the gyms are closed as I’m a HIIT fiend, and I’ve had to pull back on that after a hamstring injury, which is frustrating. I’m just telling myself that things are going to start changing soon and I will heal if I’m patient. It also encourages me to look for alternatives. Doing something is always a step ahead of doing nothing and at the very least slows any backward progress. My gym directed me to a petition on the .gov website voting for a workout to help out scheme. Not a bad idea. | |||

Are you able to do it at all, if you don’t mind me asking? | |||

"Why We Eat (Too Much) by Dr Andrew Jenkinson (bariatric surgeon). Very interesting book with tips as well for weight loss. He also reviews some of the popular diets. " I'm immersed in this book right now. It's compelling and I love the way he frames the narrative and the science. Genuinely mind expanding stuff. (not gut expanding at all) ![]() | |||

It’s actually heartening to know that some of the longest lived people on the planet don’t do any intense cardio, just walking. ![]() | |||

"After doing extremely well in Q3 last year, I'm in need of finding my motivation again after really falling off the fitness wagon on to then gluttony train. The eternal struggle of physical health and mental health. They both help and work well together but God damn getting the 2 pricks to join forces again after they break up is a huge undertaking to begin with. " Yes, I’ve found exercise an enormous help getting through stressful times for example. Motivation at the moment is a bit of a challenge. | |||

(not gut expanding at all) ![]() It’s a fantastic book. After reading it, I started reading through the bibliography on his website that formed the basis for some of his research: The Case Against Sugar, Queen of Fats, The Primal Blueprint and The Blue Zones. All interesting in their own way. I’ve recently spotted that Gary Taubs has a new book out too. | |||

"I had to increase my calories with 200, cos my cutting plan is too effective, as I am loosing to much weight to quickly, the reason was cos I increased my cardio whilst cutting the calories, but rather than to decrease my cardio, which I like to do. I increase the food instead. I burn about 3500 calories a week from cardio alone which equals to 1 pound of body fat, mostly with walking and running, and yes I enjoy my ice cream treat with my coffee, it is all about calories in v out, there is a fine balance to find the sweet spot of steady weight loss, not too quick but more a steady one ![]() .I keep reading that it's all about calories v calories out but that doesn't work for everyone. I was burning so much more than I was eating, the weight didn't shift. I've now totally lost motivation and since the gym has closed, weight is going on. | |||
