you're leg pressing 300kg or 661lb?

280kg (250kg of plates, 30kg foot plate)for 6 reps, i could do more, however that was my 4th set and i had plenty more exercises to do.

its nothing like squatting the same amount tho (apparently, ive never tried to squat that much), its a lot easier to leg press large weight compared to squat, im sure there is an equivalent calculation that works out the incline of the press and the weight used compared to an equivalent squat.

I was looking at that, but I don't think I could eat special K once a day never mind twice!

Anyone ever done a "full body workout" class in the gym before?

Thinking of going to one tonight.

I think Aldi or Lidl do their own Krauty version they are called "Wellness Flakes" and packed full of reichy power and Zeppelin tastyness.

They are the best!

can i join in at this late stage?

I have just joined Weight Watchers after putting it off for ages.

I'm on my 2nd day but have done the points diet before and found it really worked for me

Am going to need some serious motivation though to get through it. My target is to lose.... 18lb (9k) by September 15th when I go on my jollies

I've started swimming again and as you know did the 5k race for life a few weeks back, but I've not been pushing myself as I know I can do. I do take my doggy for 1/2-1 minimum walks each day but I am planning to step it up.

If anyone has a link to a decent spreadsheet for weight loss to track it please post a link, I am not having much luck and my home made one isnt working too well.

Goberpiles316 · 9 Jul 2006 at 10:52

Well into my 3rd week and I have just lost 8lbs since last Sunday, feel better all round eating healthy food.

Takhisis · 9 Jul 2006 at 11:01

Healthy eating went out the window last night - Mic's birthday was on Thursday so last night a group of us went to the Watermargin - an all you can eat chinese buffet style restaurant

It was all very yummy

Went from 95.4kg to 94.3kg this week, have a goal of 82kg, looooong way to go

homerio · 11 Jul 2006 at 12:01

I'm jumping back onto this. Exams really threw me off the wagon and I'm back up to 13 st 8.4lbs. Goal is to get down to around 12 stone mark.

Has anyone a decent calorie counting web site they use, I have managed to gain 3 lbs this week even through I have eatne nothing faty what so ever, I believe my bosy has not been getting enough calories so i think i am going to have to start counting them, i have been concentrating so much on the fat content of items that I have ignored the calories altogether.

Mundu · 15 Jul 2006 at 22:12

I really need to get a heart monitor and scales that work.

Just came back from a good 4 hours of basketball. Turns out I've improved greatly. Need to loose some weight or get sronger before i start dunking over people though!

might be what you are eating contains a lot of bad carbs or something. fat and calories arent the only things to be concerned with :]
