What kind of heavy lifting would I need to do? I really need to sort out my upper body but due to shoulder injury I am pretty weak in that department. So building some arm muscles and some pect's would be good.

Any advice on the belly flab I hate so much ?

so many factors affect what you can and can not do such as physical capability's and injury's etc, it really is best to see a trainer if your new to it

the best general strength building exercises are compound exercises, ie ones that use as much of the body as possible in one movement, and ideally you need to be doing 8-10 reps to failure

technique is critical as is warming up and stretching and working up to your max weight over time, hence a trainer is ideal, however if you like to read bodybuilding.com has all the info and excellent forums


as for belly flab, it is impossible to target areas for fat reduction (apart from with surgery) you just have to loose the excess fat, i just cant seam to shift my "apron"

I'm normally not too bad with willpower so I would give anything a go!

try to stick to around 100g of carbs a day for 3 weeks and make sure there slow release carbs where you can, replace them with protein and healthy fats / oils

under 60 is best

Hi everyone

I find it really difficult some days to eat 1200 calories without going over the fat levels I should have and decided what ever I ate to get the calories in would up my fat levels

But why did I end up eating chocolate? I'm sure I kept within the calories - my weigh in tomorrow morning will tell the truth, but I'm not expecting much of a loss

1200 cals is extremely low, are you quite small?

how much fat are you eating, it should be 30-40% of your diet

I know I do, I am not agrophobic:rotfl::rotfl:

Crumbs the BL USA is on and Gillian was very in the face of one of the contestants on and on she went to get out of her what was lurking inside what her emotions were why she kept it all in, crumbs talk about over the top:eek:

those 2 green team members are the most emotionally defensive they have ever had in 11 seasons, the mother is the original biatch queen and an enabler

I've tried to go through this thread but it's so long I am now confused! I have been healthy eating since New Year. OH has lost 8lbs and I have put on 5lbs so I am not at all happy. I thought about joining WW to see how the pro points (?) work either online via Quidco or in person at a meeting although that doesn't really appeal to me but may be more helpful to make me understand?? Then I had a leaflet through re SW and now I can't work out what to do. I would like to lose a stone in the next four weeks if possible although after the last couple of weeks I'm feeling really down about it all. Sorry for long message but I suppose what I am trying to say is do you all do WW or SW on here or your own eating regime please? Thank you for your help:). Oh I am female as the name shows and over 50 but under 60 and 5'8" ,

sts for me this week please:d

Hi Eric,

I'm 5ft. The calorie controlled diet that I am following suggests the following

1200 calories

150 gram Carb

60 gram Protein

40 gram Fat

13.3 Sat Fat

300 mg Chol

2400 mg Sodium

25 gram Fibre

30 gram Sugar

On a normal day I tend to go slightly over the fat/sfat level and struggle to reach the protein level. My main sources of protein are eggs, cheese, nuts, quorn mince and pieces. You may have gathered I am a vegetarian. I struggle with beans as they play havoc with my digestion.

Hi Fred

Please put me down for a 1lb loss this week

Disappointing, but I tend to do well in alternate weeks when I diet so it's not too much of a surprise

Oi! watch it......


Well done vix and frog for ur losses, and victory for STS

STS for me too please fred. Bit annoyed, but then thinking about it I have been sneaking syns when I know I shouldn't...

This week I'm going to have to be 100% to see a decent loss next weds.

Unfortunately I am fine when I control my food - I eat carefully and plan my meals - but when I see people for meals it's usually at someone else's house and there is very little control over the menu.
I suppose all I can do is make sure i'm 100% on plan when I can be, so that there is some damage limitation.
