"4lb to get back to what I want to be. As I only got to it a few weeks ago and its been the build up to Christmas I've not worked at maintaining. So my aim is to experiment with how many calories I can have a day to maintain my weight. I shall weigh me weekly but base it on monthly as our weight can fluctuate then just try and keep to it " look up reverse dieting. Ive known a lot of people end up having a fair few cals more than they thought they could by increasing slowly over time. | |||

"I'll be starting as soon as the kids are back in school! Guessing by then I'll have about 9-10 lbs to lose but need to tone up! Not sure I'll ever see my abs hottie but I certainly want to take a couple of inches off my waist and inner thighs! Xx" If only we could choose where it comes off eh? I lost weight off my face/neck really quickly, then my ribs stick out, but will these thighs shift?? Will they fuck!! So ive decided.. Fuck the thigh gap. Squats and deadlifts and I'll have solid muscly legs instead!!! | |||

"Started a cut at the beginning of Dec. I'm about 9lbs down (but I know I carry about 7lbs in water weight). I can only commit to gym three times a week at the mo, so have modified 5/3/1 to suit my needs. Still seeing strength gains so the cut can't have 'bitten' much yet. I got some lifting straps and a dipping belt for Christmas - it'll be interesting to see if I can still do weighted dips/chins (at my most cut this summer, I was dipping +5kg and chin-ups +10kg for three sets of 8)... I'm going to try and get to single digit bodyfat this cut, which I reckon will be somewhere around 160-165lbs. I weigh 182 now so only 20 or so lbs to go...should be able to smash that in 20weeks..." I'll look forward to seeing the end result! | |||

" something for me to read up on and I will do it slowly and sensibly, I'm afraid I've eaten things this last few weeks just because I could like far far to much cheese. But the idea long term is to stick to healthy but then if I go out for a meal or away not to worry about it. I think I deserve a treat now and again as long as that is all it is | |||

Also, I wanna get my deadlift 1RM to 200kgs and my squat to 180 (Which should be +10 and 20kgs respectively). I'll take any gains on bench I can get because of my stupid chocolate Rugby shoulder. | |||

to set a goal is a scary thought.. i like things to be realistic and within a set timeframe. i have a long way to go.. so just a 'loss' does me each week. ive tried setting targets and feel like a failure when i dont get them"When I started out I didnt look at the end result. I just said my first goal was to lose half a stone. Then my next goal was to get under the next stone barrier etc. No timeline. Just small achievable goals that getting a loss each week meant I would reach them at some point. | |||

"Lose the weight I put back on due to my ex and more. Reach 50kg squats in the next 3 weeks. Continue going to the gym 5 days a week. Started 6 weeks ago, scales haven't moved but I'm 3 inches down off my waist." Big no no for women. .if you're doing weights at the gym and are going heavy then might be wise to stay away from the scales and just monitor the inches as muscle weighs more than fat,so the more muscle you put on..the heavier you become.. I weighed myself the other day on one of those lloyds pharmacy scales n it told me I'm clinically obese due to having quite a bit if muscle to which the woman said behind me " don't worry luv..least it's not fat"..true | |||

Its fine, and eventually it will go. | |||

Sounds good! Ive gotta get some powder but can't decide on flavour "Unflavoured just buy the nesquick milk flavour. You can put the tiniest amount in then. Pre flavoured contains massive amounts of flavouring in meaning less protein. | |||

"Muscle does not weigh more than fat!!!!! A lb of muscle and a lb of fat both weigh a lb.. Muscle is more dense than fat. So you can fit more muscle In the same space as fat! " Oops. You learn something everyday. Another of those myths. Interesting.. | |||

Heed that advice. You can end up taking in a lot more calories because of the amount you can liquidise and end up eating tonnes of fruit (more sugar) to make it more palatable, because of the veg.
If that makes sense. | |||

"I need to lose 2.5 stone to get back to where I was
I want to lose about the same. 2.5/3st. I know I can do it as I've lost 7st in the last 2 years but have to get my head back in it. Baby is 4mths old now so no excuses."Similar weight loss required here and my "baby" turns 3 next week! 
My immediate goal is back to the gym because I haven't been for a month due to ill health and general business and drastically reduce the carbs that have been jumping into my mouth over the last week or so! x | |||

"Lose the weight I put back on due to my ex and more. Reach 50kg squats in the next 3 weeks. Continue going to the gym 5 days a week. Started 6 weeks ago, scales haven't moved but I'm 3 inches down off my waist. Big no no for women. .if you're doing weights at the gym and are going heavy then might be wise to stay away from the scales and just monitor the inches as muscle weighs more than fat,so the more muscle you put on..the heavier you become.. I weighed myself the other day on one of those lloyds pharmacy scales n it told me I'm clinically obese due to having quite a bit if muscle to which the woman said behind me " don't worry luv..least it's not fat"..true" True and it's probably water retention from muscle repair. I'm trying to ignore the scales and just look at the tape measure x | |||

I drink every day think it would be easier to give up the smokes
i went cold turkey on Coke.. had the shakes and most awful headaches. Glad im over it now. i still drink fizzy drinks but they are sugar free and have 5% orange juice in it.

"Few days early but time to get back on it!! Ive been neither fit nor healthy for s good few months! Feeling like a bloody hippo! Bleurgh! First day back being good today. Having a load of leftover Turkey to get through sure helped with the protein goals. My goal between now and easter are to shift the bit of weight I gained and lose another half a stone on top of that. To attend the gym at least twice a week. To get back into running and get up to an easy 10k. To improve my strength and up my weights. To get visible abs! I was so close before so I know they are under there!! So wether it's weight gain, loss, fitness or any other goals post here!!! " My goals - maintain the healthy weight I have reached keep working on my abs and back muscles extend my yoga practices do a variety of exercise routines so that I avoid long jogging sessions that in the past have lead to overuse knee injury (trouble is running gives me a buzz like nothing else does - oh apart from marathon sex sessions) | |||
