A friend of mine is trying to gain weight, sadly she's also become gym obsessed and is probably burning off all her extra calories so isn't really putting anything on.

Still plodding on. My friend has just moved round the corner and we're planning to start badgering each other to go jogging. She's infinitely fitter than me so I anticipate a few embarrassing experiences but I need encouragement so it might work going with a friend instead of alone.

Huh, I don't have a regimented diet. Some days I eat lots, other days I don't eat at all. Some days I work out, the rest of the month I can't be bothered. No added sugar or salt and no dairy, limited bread.

Not me. Endomorph. Well, it's somewhat easy to put muscle on, takes a hell of an effort to cut. Did it last year for my holiday and whilst I wasn't shredded I was really enjoying how I looked but it's a ball ache to maintain especially when you go out every weekend and then spend the following day eating dominos pizza

I'm the same, but as you get older, it seems you gain a lot more in the fat to muscle ratio, although my strength gains keep on going...

If everyone has finished fighting now, I can peek back in!

Currently finiding my gym workout too easy so about to up it from interval style on the x trainer to a kind of plateau type workout and see how that goes.

I am losing gradually but I struggle to stay focussed with my diet at times- I am my own worst enemy on that.

I do low carb high protein lots of veg for 1 meal and replacement shakes for two meals, just need to keep at it- because I know it works xx

Variety is the key. Your body adapts really quickly to exercise. Seeing as you are doing cardio rather than weights try changing the machine. Rowers and static bike are both really good for a tabata style workout. 20 seconds balls out max effort, 10 second rest. You should be knackered by about the 4-5 minute mark if you are doing it right. A big advantage is that it can up your metabolic rate for several hours afterwards..so you are still burning calories

I'm going to try and stay of the scales for the next week, 2lb to target but I gained 2lb this week because of mother nature. So instead of getting disheartened I will stay of the scales until that extra 2lb has gone.

Really want to get to target in the next couple of weeks as I have a routine medical.

It still seems weird typing how close to target I am, the two years have actually gone really quickly.

I use the bike and the treadmill as well as the x trainer as part of my cardio and do weights but don't want to bulk, just tone.

I don't use the rower because of my back. Which is a shame- its one of my favourite bits of kit!

As is anything in life

When I run I always have a mixed set of "plans".

From progression runs, starting site and getting faster;

Tempo/ plateau runs, at consistent pace;

And interval runs, sprints and recoveries, or pyramids

The important thing is to mix it up so that your body doesn't become acclimatised to one type of effort, and also to make it more enjoyable and not the same old routine

You're also female :p

Which also deals with the second part you're not going to bulk from doing heavier weights, seriously.

I'm not looking to gain weight. And I'm not gym obsessed (I go 2 times a week) most of the time. I like to eat porridge oats for breakfast, will that bulk me? As I don't want to bulk, or is that just going to happen if you go gym a lot more?

It's more fine ground oats and protein powder shook up in milk and d*unk can be a very high calorie easy thing to consume between meals that's still healthy for when you want to add calories to gain weight but are finding it hard to get the food down.

Eating them as a regular meal that you're burning off is fine.

If you eat loads of oats and do no exercise you'll gain fat just as if you ate too much of anything.

Also again you're a woman you won't really "bulk" (by that I mean muscle not fat) without exceptional levels of effort and dedication.

So never worry about getting "too big cause it's not going to happen

Also fine ground oats cost practically nothing you can usually find a deal to get 5kg for around a tenner. So they're good for chucking down en mass.

So eating a couple bowls of Quaker porridge oats a day is going to be fine as long as I exercise?

Look on the back of the packet see how much calories is in a bowl plus the carbs/fat/ protein breakdown and see if it fits.

If your losing weight then you're in calorie deficit.

If you're stable you're eating the same a sour burning.

If you're gaining weight you're eating more than your burning.

What's your goal gain lose or maintain?

If the answer is "tone" that's usually gain a small amount due to heavier muscle being grown.

Myfittnesspal is great for food tracking and setting goals

In short yes ^_^

Oats a a good complex car that burns slow and doesn't cause an insulin spike and they also have a decent amount of protein so help keep you feeling full.

Much better than wheat based carbs such as a pasta or bread which are far more refined

I tend to use quinoa for my complex carb. Slow burn and its technically also a protein as it has the full range of amino acids too.

Females will always find it harder to bulk muscle wise as they do not produce a lot of testosterone naturally.

For those who worry about weight training remember that muscle burns calories at a constant rate unlike fat.

Ot tried quinoa yet mean to though.

And technical fat does burn energy as the cells need to live just not as much.

But it does lead to the interesting situation where a very obese person needs to eat more to maintain their size than a thinner person.

Quinoa is ace. Takes flavour like cous cous. Got a cheat way of cooking it too. Put in a tupperware lockable tub, add flavour and boiling water amd nuke for 4-5 mins. Done.

"I've signed up to do my first marathon in April, and before i start training for that i have a half marathon in November, and Great South run on Sunday.

Not sure what to expect with doing a marathon as although I've done lots of half marathons, i never really had the time to train for a marathon. I hope my body holds up with the extra mileage.

Which one are you doing?

I went for Brighton after not getting into London."

Same here

I loved Brighton last yearw well I say that I can;t remember more than a few minutes of the last 6 miles

It's a good course and a large supportive crowd.

I would like to get a good for age time to get into the next year's London marathon (3hrs 15 mins), but i'd be happy to finish under 3hrs 30. I've been building up my mileage for the last year to get my body prepared for running 50 miles plus a week.

Weighed in today and my extra work outs have paid off and got 5lb off this week... So very pleased with that. Hopefully it will settle now as that's 9 1/2lb in 2 weeks. So hoping now it will settle to about 2lb a week x

Good luck

My aims are a little more modest at sub 4 and if it goes amazing well sub 3.45
