"I was hoping you would start another thread. I had big news last night and wanted to brag but the last thread was full. 6 lbs down this week but even better I've lost 12% of body fat since last year and now only have 5% more to go to get back into healthy levels "Happy to oblige
That's great, well done!
I'm going to have to drag myself to yoga tonight, home now and warming up on the sofa and not looking forward to going out again. Plus I'm worried my legs will still be too sore lol | |||

"I'm thinking about going back on slimming world Google huel and see if you like the look of it. I just started and love it. Thanks but I don't like the drink and shake diets " I've found that it makes life easier for me as I don't eat much during the day and depending on what I am having for dinner I can control the amount of cals going in with it. Only problem is it is really filling and because I had one for lunch I wasn't able to finish my dinner so now I have to have another to get the cals up, or depending on carbs n fat I might be able to squeeze in a packet of roast beef monster munch | |||

I have a trainer 5 nights a week and love it, i like that I don't have to work out what I'm going to do, and I love lifting now! I'm up to 100kg deadlift and I've lost 4 stone. It's addictive xx It was only my first one but I enjoyed it, and she did give me weights heavier than I would select myself. Have had trouble sitting and climbing stairs since though! " | |||

I think finding what you like doing is important!
I don't like lifting weights, I prefer running and punching a bag.
If it gives you a buzz you're likely to keep doing it.

"Not every class is for everyone, I like it the best tho. Body pump is cool to tho. It's really busy in the gym just now, if you look at mondays classes they are pretty much all fully booked . " I used to do circuits on a Monday morning and really enjoyed it, but they've stopped that now which is a shame, I liked it. So now I do body pump and yoga | |||

"We all have different bodies! Not all bodies respond the same to exercise! Not all bodies need the same amount of fuel/energy/food. That's something I teach my boys! Also, some women suffer from water retention depending on the time of the month or some type of food others not so much. So I pay attention to that when I get on the scale. The scale is still an indicator though! As for the mirror... yeah! It kinda can lie as the brain has the magical power of distorting that image! At least, that's what most women I have spoken to will say. I have lost just over 2 stones in 6 months, diet and running and still can't see all of it gone in the mirror! Best way, at least for me, what doesn't lie is dropping off 2 dress sizes!! My opinion anyway
Hope everyone has a good week

Take a picture every week. Just remember and make the 1st one grey, no make up and hair crap and then in a few months be tanned, make up and hair done lol | |||

Make them with buckwheat and cook them with coconut oil, heathy and super nice "Coconut oil is 90% saturated fats. Best fat I've came across is rapeseed, it's simalar to olive oil but since it has a much higher evaporation temp than other oils you only need to use a little. Unfortunately coconut oil beats everything hands down for taste. | |||

Attempted my first run in about 8 months tonight on the way home from work ... went back to the couch to 5k app and jumped back in at week 3 (burst ball now though  )
My fit bit tells me that i was only 3.5km from work to home so will need to extend the route as i move up weeks and increase the run / reduce the walking but glad to have at least started again and heres hoping if i keep it up in 6 weeks time i should be able to run for 30 mins straight | |||

Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol in your body, but also help to convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols. By Increasing the HDL's in the body, it helps promote heart health, and lower the risk of heart disease. Get that coconut oil in you. I do use rapeseed too and it's also a power house for cooking | |||

Used a similar app. They are great.
Used to rearrange my route all the time lol.
Follow the weeks, don't skip one. But don't hesitate to do a week twice towards the end if you feel the pace is too much for you!
It works. Am now running up to 7k comfortably.
Enjoy and good luck | |||

Make them with buckwheat and cook them with coconut oil, heathy and super nice
Coconut oil is 90% saturated fats.
Best fat I've came across is rapeseed, it's simalar to olive oil but since it has a much higher evaporation temp than other oils you only need to use a little.
Unfortunately coconut oil beats everything hands down for taste.
That's not quiet true as Coconut oil is high in "natural" saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol in your body, but also help to convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols. By Increasing the HDL's in the body, it helps promote heart health, and lower the risk of heart disease.
Get that coconut oil in you.
I do use rapeseed too and it's also a power house for cooking "It's no wonder diets are confusing . I'll need to look into that as I love coconut oil, not that I fry food that often just the occasional omelette. | |||

"Thanks max! My problem before has always been consistency ... once i take a break for whatever reason i can never get started again so actually planning to take my trainers in holiday with me in a few weeks " Yeah you're right consistency is important. And taking your trainers with you is great idea. New routes to boost your run and look around new things. Am away too back home, taking my trainers, am planning to run a couple of routes I used to do when I was competing in another life lol should be fun... not lol
But remember you don't have to do full sessions. If I feel stiff because of my arthritis or playing footy with my son I will still go out but adjust my session. You can get benefits from a 15/20 mins run.
Doing a little is better than nothing at all!
Hope you're going somewhere sunny | |||

"Is that healthy though? " Depends what you want to achieve and how long you are doing it for, if you take plenty fluid and you are aware of your diet. Normally your body burns carbohydrates for fuel. When you drastically cut carbs, the body goes into a metabolic state called Ketosis. So your body begins to burn its own fat for fuel. This is what you have to do to burn stubborn fat. Well, that's my understanding and the way I think when I do my low carb intake/workouts. | |||

yeah so the basics is you bulk up to a big shape, and then you cut to try get that carved definition but it feels like one step forward, two steps back sometimes ! But just depends what works for your body as everyone is different | |||

Merci.
And it's amazing the amount of calories in drinks "The amount of people I see on treadmills and drinking a Powerade or Lucozade sport is madenning. That stuff is full of sugar and all the calories your burning are going back on drinking it, you'd be as well sitting home on the couch wi a tea. You only need those kinda drinks if your training intensely for over an hour ! You get no more benefit from one of them than you do from a bottle of water if your just just running for an hour or under. | |||

1 or 2 stones in 2 weeks yeah it sounds appealing on paper BUT...
...changing drastically your diet is not for everyone... Medications, health conditions, your lifestyle and so on have to be taken into consideration.
Not everyone knows that some of these diet impact on your vitamins intake and you have to take supplements.
Losing 1 or 2 stones fast will also depends on the body you are starting from!
What about loose skin, in my opinion you are better not cutting corner and toning your muscles and making sure the elasticity of your skin comes back.
Also not everyone can restrict themselves for so long and the falling off the wagon is not good.
Personally I believe in making changes to your diet that you can keep in the long run!
My opinion, but good luck with it | |||
