Well we are well into april and the easter holidays have not been my friend. However a couple more lbs have gone I think I'm 49.5lbs down now.

Decided 8st 10 is my goal which will be a 4 stone total loss. And means ive got about half a stone left to lose.

One more week of easter holidays left then I can get back in the gym!

Hope everyone is still doing well whatever your goals!!

I am doing a new routine and that is to chock the biceps into new growth and that is to do light arm workouts before you go to bed at home, overhead tricep pushdown 60 reps and hammer curls 60 reps, day 2 of one month.

I do ofcourse do more bicep works in the gym but just those 2 I do at home

"I have a question, I understand cutting and bulking is losing and gaining, but why. Why don't you stay the same all the while. I have no idea how it all works

I think because to gain a decent amount of muscle you will inevitably also gain fat. So bulking is building it all up then you cut to lose the excess fat and get left with the muscle x

Back on the 5:2 today, and back to the exercise classes. An absolutely brutal abs blast class after 30 mins intervals on the elliptical. I won't be coughing or laughing tomorrow!

I've lost 25lbs since I started in January, and am aiming for a further stone off to get to a healthy BMI (I know, I know, but I'd like to see if its possible with my body frame size). It's bloody hard work though, with all this food just lying around.

I cant believe the pump I had in the gym today, made record gains in almost all my lifts, for the incline dumbbell press for the chest I did a record 75 lbs 7 reps, felt like I could pick up any weight today, good times, its this new routine I follow, its starting to show of now in my lifts

I'm feeling positive and achy... Achy as started to add more variety to my workout and a 10lb loss in 3 weeks including enjoying my Easter break.

Not sure if it's a national thing but for those on weight watchers or slimming world. I signed up to my gym for swim for health. And being a member of weight watchers means its 20quid for 6 weeks unlimited swimming and aqua classes..

I'm finding it great and loving aqua jog... Being that I have problems with my back and joints this is fantastic. I feel like I have lost more weight this week as clothes are just fitting Better but avoiding the scales to weigh in early.

I still seem to be making some slight strength gains in spite of having been cutting now for 2 months.

Still...

170lbs as of today, I reckon about 5lbs to go and I'll be back to about 10%BF and may think about starting a new program.

I wish it would hurry up though because I like carbs.

Don't use the Smith for squats use a free bar the Smith fucks up your form.

Oh and try weighted lunges for your bum that'll burn it good lol.

Especially if you go down half way then to the bottom then back to half way then bottom half way about 5 times before comming fully baxk up.

Yes it is annoying! They've just put plans for a complete renovation on and you csn go online and make suggestions! I've been on and told them that not having a squat rack or a bar to do deads with its just ridiculous! It's so small that sometimes you can't use one piece of equipment cuz you'll be totally in the way of others. The only free weights there are are dumbells. There's only one other gym in my town and it's only open a few hours a day but come September if the one im at now hasn't improved I'll be off!!!

I always love how blokes come in and demonstrate how a bicep curl can be a full body exercise.

People let their egos get in their way way too much at the gym.

We are using Rosemary Conley recipes and the little pot measures give the discipline. As the medics said yesterday it's not the exercise that makes the weight loss though of course it tones you up, it's the less calorie intake that loses the weight and it sure works for us.

Yep, weight loss happens in the kitchen, although a good exercise regime does mean the cupcake won't spend a WHOLE lifetime on the hips.

"I'm thinking of buying a rack bunch bar an weights next year when my contracts up all in its only slightly more than a years gym membership

Good idea! Can I come and play?

Try powerhouse they are quite cheap bought a cage, with hi/lo pulley (90kg) whole load of bars , two new 25kg plates and bench . Under a grand ( so two years membership.)

Question thou anybody used one of the shrug bars? Thinking I might get one for dead lifts "

I'd probably try an scrounge as much as possible second hand.

But thanks for the heads up will add it to the list of sources lol.

Yeah used plates only seem to come up when someone moving or leaving the country and need to dump them quick they tend to go for the same as new though really.

Racks pop up fairly often when someone realises they bought them and never use them lol

Myprotien buy a tastey whey or the total protien (it's a blend of whey and egg and casein and a few others so useful for most times but tastes not as good) don't get the stevia flavours I did and now I got 5kg of the awful shit to get through lol.

Peotien shake is really just for when you cba eating or for that 30 minute window straight after exercise a good solid meal after is good.

My favorite post work out "shake" is a liter carton of tesco chocolate milk lol 100g sugar and 45g protien all for 1 pound

No pain, no gain.

If you're working out and your muscles don't ache afterwards, you're not working out properly!

Good weekend - 7 mile walk on Saturday round a beautiful part of the North York Moors.

Bad weekend - ate loads, including a takeaway pizza which wasnt even that nice

Oh well. Not too much damage done as weight is still going in the right direction. Elliptical and abs class tonight.

Thank you...5lb more and I'm at my target weight of 13st, then we'll just see where a Summer's cycling takes me down to. Beyond 13st, I tend to start looking a little gaunt anyway.

I'm exactly the same, have restarted as of last week and I'm now at 1 stone 10 lbs down, with 1.5 stone of that having been lost by the end of February. Pigged out in March and April, and I plan to suffer for it in May and June to try to get to 3 stone down.

I need to push past this stage because I actually look fatter than I did before, as all the weight I've lost has come off my boobs, bum, hips and legs but not my waist so my hip to waist ratio is all to pot

unfortunately you cant spot reduce fat

its the same for everyone. the places you most wanna lose fat are usually the last places you lose it from. its why consistency is the most important thing

unless you wanna get lipo

Oh I know, (I wish I could) but in the past I've found when I've strengthened my core I carry myself better and look slimmer as a result, even if I'm actually not. And once I've got past a certain point (prob 3 stone ish for me) it will eventually start to shift off there.

Much of that will be water weight make sure you're drinking enough (you actually get a fair bit of water from food so altering diet can mean you need to drink more to compensate)

But don't try to keep that level of loss up for long it's way to much aim for max of 2.2lb (1kg) a week.

If you just want protein. The cheapest one that doesn't taste like crap lol.

Have a look on myprotein or bulkpowders avoid the "sativa" flavours they're not great.

Assuming this is for after work out not just to keep you feeling full?

If so get the whey, if you just want it for keeping you feeling full get casein it's cheaper but takes longer to digest so fuller for longer, but less effective post workout.
