I need to lose about 4 stone 
I'm the biggest I've ever been and I'm not comfortable.
So I'm going to try and be mindful and stop eating so much shit.
Starting with dry January 
Boring - but it has to be done! |

I want to drop a dress-size by May... so just keep making progress at the gym as part of that. I’d love to be able to do a pull-up but don’t think that’s very realistic, my upper body strength is shocking, I can only just about dangle haha!

"What does that meanTo get the competetion abs look.
What look like a bag of walnuts ?"
 a bag of walnuts is a good description.
I don't find the look appealing but admire the dedication these people have - even though it's bordering on an eating disorder sometimes!
I have an eating disorder too - I can't stop bloody eating  |

Qualify for British and European powerlifting finals, should be a foregone conclusion as I already have the required total for both. Big question is whether I can make world's or not. |

To keep off the 3st I lost in 2018 and make it 4st by summer 2019
Keep at the gym 4/5 times a week and get fitter, not just less heavy
I don't mind being a chunk, I just want to reduce the wobble factor
Improve my diabetes health by default
Reduce my reliance on medication |

To get myself back in to bodybuilding. Get my physique back and grow again.
Have had too many setbacks this year and it’s put me in the worst position I’ve ever been in.
Time to sort myself out.

"Is it possible to lose 5 stone in 4 months if you are obese? Healthily."
I lost 3 in 5 - healthily
It has stayed off
So, don't be daft about it
It's not a race |

Try and do two parkruns a month and eventually build up to a comfortable 10k. I'd like to lose weight but not a set amount - more just a general get fitter and healthier thing. And continue with yoga/pilates, if my membership goes to waste I'll be annoyed at myself. |

Could be done but certainly not in a healthy way. The calorie deficit would be huge and you'd likely put most of it back on.
Slow and steady is the best way.
It you have 5 stone to lose then the first stone should come off quite quick. Bare in mind the initial loss will mostly be water and very little fat if your going to drop carbs.
2lb a week is a good maximum to work to after the first 3-4 weeks.
I'd look more at 6-8 months to lose that much and keep it off. |

Race against time.
3 in 5 would do me for now I suppose. |

The last couple of years, my goal has been to enjoy exercise, have a regular gym habit, and see what my body is capable of. Always a work in progress, but I'm delighted with where I am at the moment. |

To be honest it depends how much effort ur willing to put in, i lost 4 stone in 2 months but i completely changed my diet and my way of life and was doing 2 hours of pure cardio every day in the gym |

How overweight were you? 5 stone loss would still leave me slightly overweight but much better off. So could come off easier? |

Oh no, as someone who's lost weight and gotten fitter, the destination is worth getting to. I just couldn't have stuck with that route. I'd rather go slow and steady. |

5k in under 20 mins - checked map my run recently and did this over a year ago. No consistency this year.
I need to look after myself better basically too. |

I would like to learn to swim. I need to start losing the weight I have gained since being on insulin but having chrinic joint pain makes it tricky. So my goal is to find a way to exercise without being in too much pain  |

Spent most of 2018 in and out of hospital. Medication and illness has seen me mostly housebound and unable to exercise. I've put on the 20kg I lost.
Now I'm almost back to normal I'll be able to move more. Looking forward to visiting my daughter in Wales as I've not been well enough to visit.
I need to lose 50kg so will be working out in earnest. |

Ms Kink and I have been lazy for the last 2 years what with wedding planning, marriage and just vegging. Plan is to drop some weight and be able to complete a small ocr event (maybe two), climb Nevis and a couple of Munroes and cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh... |

Good luck, I'll cheer you on in Feb x
And I'd definitely be intrested in following your progress...
2018 hadn't been a great year for me physically.
The summer I had a serious allergic reaction which affected my chest and damaged my lungs. I had to stop teaching my Insanity & HIIT classes.
I was put on inhalers & steroids, which caused quite a weight gain - 21lbs.
Just recovering from that, and I had a contact lens related accident which resulted in losing vision in my left eye, and leaving me unable to race & cycle.
The last couple of months I've lost my mojo, my ooomph isn't there, and I became quite lax with my own training.
I had no goals, nothing to aim for.
So... I've been set one. Cheers Monkey
Get my arse back into powerlifting.
Something I've not done since my spinal surgery just over 2yrs ago.
I have no idea how it will go, what I'm capable of, or if my back will allow me to hit the weights I used to.
But I'm going to give it my best shot.

It wont be so hard, cos I am a flexible dieter and I am starting out with high calories at 3000. I am starting tommorow where I will cut it with 500, so I will be in a deficit straight away then each month I will evaluate of how much I need to drop, the idea behind the diet is, does it fit in your macros? Sure you can eat it  |

For some unknown and ridiculous reason (involving wine!) we have agreed to do a 10k Mud Race with another Fab couple in June.
I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination so will involve a lot of training for me (not so much for everyone else!).
Slight sweetener is we can all be muddy and sweaty then get all clean and sparkly together

I want to loose 3/4 stone this year. I lost 3st last year and this is just carrying on with that journey. I'd like to be able to do a full push up and a pull up.
Whilst doing this I am doing weight training so I should naturally time up along the way.
I'd like to put on s sexy short dress and not feel the need to wear tights to out everything in the right place.

Baby steps and learn to understand you
Learn to enjoy cooking that will be your bestist friend ever
Beyond that include a daily walk
Beyond that dip your toe gently into any activity that captivates you, note , the more you specialise the more your body will specialise, cross training ie a number of differing activities will give your musculature a better balance x |

My fitness goal is to get to 12% body fat and maintain it. I was 16% over Christmas"
Not wishing to be too sceptical
To lose 44 lbs in 90 days would mean a daily deficit of near enough 2000 cals
That's fucking hard ! |

I'm also fully aware that a deficit is also required and the toll that plays on the body

I'm going to reach my target weight this year having done the bulk of the hard work last year. Only 1.5 stone to go. I'm also going to complete the couch to 5k having stopped last year due to a hip injury. I'm back on it and motivated to succeed. |

It was 4 months total. I started in September. I dropped from 27% body fat to 16. I ate clean everyday. 2000 calories, high protein and low carbs. Exercise everyday. Gym twice but bouldering 4 times and a run once.
I managed to sustain it now. Adding cheat days since it's now even tougher and not about weight loss but muscle gain and ridding the fat around the waist.
The personal trainer I had were amazing. |

Want to lose the lard so I'll be able to handle festivals better. Getting harder to keep up with the younger people in our group.
Also so I'll feel happier and more confident when approaching other people on Fabs with regards to meets.
