Use a tea plate for all yer meals and not a dinner plate!

I'm pretty sure the standard advice nowadays for losing fat (i.e. not losing weight) is to do weights, rather than kill yourself with cardio. I had a friend who won a competition for transforming your body. He got a bodybuilder to help him and the first thing he did was get him on the weights. The second thing he did was get him eating properly. I think the science is that if you have more muscle, you burn more calories as part of your normal activity (i.e. breathing, pumping blood, walking around).

You honestly do all that cardio and have problems with your weight?

You must be drinking ALOT if that is the case.

Good luck :)

I used to run 50+ miles a week, every week and was overweight.

Good luck. I used to be in decent shape then we had our 3rd kid a year ago and the gym went out the window.... Become a right fat twat, went gym for first time in 6 months last week and could move for 3 days after!

OK, my new diet begins tomorrow now..... (cracks open another beer...)

It's not quite as simple as that, the ideal is a good combination of the two for people who are into general fitness and weight loss

*coughs* went to the gym Sunday and over did it a little... felt like 5 of my ribs had been punched in.... got home yesterday from work... bottle of wine, one beer and a handful of Bombay mix nuts.

In answer to your question..... yes.

I do the 5+2 and on two of the five days I try to do 75-90 mins on a cross trainer , I try to walk 45 mins on the 3 week days I don't train and do a half hour PT session on weights as well as a walking round of golf. Have lost 9kg in 4 months but I have to say whilst I don't drink much I do often eat a lot and struggle other than the two days to diet.

To be honest feeling fitter and stronger and a little slimmer is the main thing more than the weight.
