A year to get fit and less fat

Thanks, I'll check out the videos. My trainer is a "smart" one so it's connected to my tablet via bluetooth, tells me speeds, rpm, distance etc etc.

I started using a free app called 'Interval Timer', it lets you set your warm up and cool down period and your interval periods, one for the high intensity and one for the low.

Mind you I have noticed that an HIIT Interval second lasts about the same a 2 normal seconds, or at least it seems to.

Ok my second weigh in on the same BMI machine as above.
Weight 14.4lb 91.1 kg so a .3 rise.

BMI 27.8
B.fat 20.5
B.F.M 18.6

January 2nd 2016

Body mass index 26.9
Body fat 22.0
Body fat mass 19.6

Weigh in 30/01/16

Body mass index 26.4
Body fat 28.7

Totally confused by the readings but hey ho.
I have definitely put on some muscle and believe I have cut my body fat so maybe will have to look at another way of getting my readings.

Pretty tough to build muscle and reduce fat at the same time - hence the bulk/cut cycle. Unless on a recomp but that takes a long time to see the results.

Thanks mate looks interesting, I've downloaded Strava and uploaded my cycling workouts so I can keep track of progression, if any :rofl:

It can be done, though you have to be eating huge quantities of the right food at the right times, also supplementation of various pills and powders helps (Whey Protein, creatine, dextrose, glutamine, glucosamine, ZMA, vitamins C and E as well as multivitamins, Omega3, MSM, CLA to name a few)

Agree with these points - I eat 5 times a day, plus 2 shakes in between throughout the day 2nd one being post workout or post training (dance)
Apart from breakfast which is porridge (steel oats), 4 eggs, avocado and 2 wholeweat toast the remaining 4 meals are cooked in the morning in bulk (generally 3 steamed chicken breasts, a tray of sweet potatoes and 4 cups of green veg, generally broccoli) and divide the meal up throughout the day into 4 slots. Gets a little mundane so mix up the chicken with fish and greens but knowing what your eating throughout the day and providing a focus cuts out not having the prepared food and when your caught hungry you start snacking on whatever is in the cupboards or fridge.
One day a week cheat day to eat whatever but in doing this I can regulate and i know what my intake is and remain aware of sugars/high calories/carbs that I'm not allowing in.
Sounds boring but try it for a month and see if you see a difference. Im sure you will!! :thup:

Your right Amanda it is tough however it can be done but as you say it takes time.

There is no doubt my readings this time are wrong which makes me doubt my others as I have used the same machine each time.

I suppose the real truth is in the pudding and knowing your own body and how its changing.
 
Weighed in yesterday, 15st 10.5lb. I've had great month. Away for a week in Mexico at the end of February, need a good few weeks before hand.
 
 
Weigh in day today, weighed in at 16st 8lb. So lost about half a stone, but after a weekend on the piss for rugby and friends birthday. Then being ill last week I suppose I've not done too badly.

Need a big push now as seem to be stuck. Will be making more off an effort to get to the gym 3 times a week instead of twice. Then a smaller evening meal, really want to get under 16 stone. It's been a long time since that's happened.

Without going into as much info as Rick :whistle: in 12 months I have lost 3 stone, 7lbs; 4 inches off my chest and 5 off my waist - I'm pretty happy with that!!! :D
 
17ils lost in the last 5 weeks. Very little change to diet, but the new job sees me up on my feet in and out of offices all day.
