Thanks SB

I'll get there , albiet slowly

 

[Aruffell]

I believe in you Piggy

Complete opposite for me as i was 9st and wanted to put weight on.

I started and within the first few weeks i noticed nothing and felt like giving up.

Then i started piling it on, now i'm just over 11st.

It's all a matter of time, and you do feel like giving up, the trick is, don't

Stick with the weights Piggy, I've seen girls work themselves to death every morning for a year with almost zero loss, only to find that some lifting made all the difference.

MB is right, one of the PT's at the gym told me that you shouldn't cut out the weights as although you build a little muscle, it increases your metabolism so that your body breaks down the food quicker.

Blokes have a faster metabolism than us - sure I read that somewhere... must be why me and my brother have totally different body shapes.

Not fair!

Sure it's not because he's a bloke, and you're a lady?

I'm a lady, and i like to do.... lady things.

Lol yeah I guess... but to some people we don't look like we are related (I know a lot of brother and sister combos get this) but I am sure build is to do with it.

He is taller than both our mum and dad so goodness knows where he got that from .

Start weight: 294 lbs (at start of january)
Weight this morning: 262 lbs
target weight: 200lbs
Lost: 32lbs, still to loose: 62lbs
Percentage progress: 34%

I expect it'll slow down, someone said something about loosing water, not really sure how these things work, I just work on the fact that I put less food in than I need a day, and I get lighter...

Went to the gym again tonight... did 30mins cardio (rowing machine) and 40mins on weights, yet again had a massive craving for milk when I got back. Any one have cravings like that after the gym? and any idea why?

You lost 32lbs in 24 days, what did you do, cut your leg off?

Your body wants protein and rehydration at a guess, it needs easily accessable protein to repair muscle and milk is reasonable source although there are better.

You're right MB.

I always have a whey protein shake after a workout and a can of tuna most of the time.

Thought it might be something along those lines. It's funny how your body knows what makes up different foods.

Hahaha Cheered me up a treat that comment.

I've had just a bowl of cereal today :/
Was meant to be cooking chicken curry but I feel very sick and not at all hungry after a recent event with someone. Blergh. Will try and make it later. Either way, not a bad day for me
Oooh water all day too *shining detox halo*

Yes, very funny

But thats what the scales say, if you skip back a few pages someone gave me an explanation involving water loss, but further than that, I don't really know what to say

Thanks! I hugged two people I wouldn't normally hug on my way home because I had an upside down smile making me feel rubbish, grr. *Hugs accepted lotsy!*

Water is bloody boring yes. Fortunately, we're only really allowed water in our lecture theatre so I'll think of it that way

No you will not missy! Desmo wont let you anyway muahahaha

Put pictures of you you don't like around your house and that'll give you a kick up the bum bum to do something! Don't worry about the weight thing. Firstly, your insides will be healthier and you will lose it in time sweetie

Remember you're body will get use to health eating and you'll see a week or two wear you don't seem to make any progress. But then the next week it starts falling of again. Chin up I'm sure you'll notice a change. Got any tight clothes, its always great when you can fit into them..
