Hello,
I’m a 35yr. old mother of two, weighing 65 kgs.
My goals are to loose 10 kgs and to build muscle and tone up.
Here goes!!

Living and working in Sudan makes it very difficult to buy a lot of the food etc your programme suggests. It would be great to be able to buy all the wonderful fruit.veggies, organic food etc etc so do you have alternative suiggestions on the food side?.
I would like to lose 8 kilos and follow an interval type resistance and cardio fitness programme using the only gym in Northern Sudan that allows mixed membership, which means that you have access to a gym and swimming pool for 7 days per week rather than the 3 set days for females and males that the others have!

You can see my case is not typical so would appreciate some help here- particularly on the food side

Now at 40 yrs old, I want to stay at my muscular 205lbs, but I want to go from 14%BF down to 8%BF in 16 weeks. So, I want to do both, maintain my muscularity and lose BF. After a herniated disc last year, it has taken me all that time to get back into shape and strength I had before the injury. I am careful with my squats and deadlifts, but they are getting back up to the weights I was doing before…almost. Slow and steady wins the race. ;-)

hey,
27year old Aussie, (QLD), 175cm, 79Kg, 12% BF.
Best: 73Kg, 8%BF (still no real six pack) damn pot belly.
Was doing CYWT but after your post about losing fat and gaining muscle, and cos its winter here, (cold and dark), i have decided to take Nick Nilson’s advice and do lo carb for 5 days (and sprints) and his 28 days max muscle program for the next 9 days.
Doing 2 Week blocks which means every weekend will be a high cal/carb weekend.

On the first week now will see what i am like come 29th.

Also took up boxing last night, 3 hours per week.

I want to lose one dress size, continue getting tighter and stronger and have more stamina. I want to get strong enough to do a real (non-girlie) push-up within this time.

My goal is to loose some body fat, and gain lean muscle.
Hopefully I won’t get fat agian during christmas…

I want to be huge and ripped I want to be like a professional bodybuilder but without the freakish look…

Hi,
I am 39, mother of 3, 160cm tall, and 65.5kg when I started Cheat your way thin 4 weeks ago; now I am 62.5kg (yay!), and have lost a total of 21.5cm, including 5cm off my back, 3 off my tummy and 2 off my bottom. My bodyfat has gone from 32% to 29.1%. My aim is to be 58kg and 25% or less bodyfat. I have been 55kg and 23% after completing the Body For Life challenge in the past, before 3 years of illness followed by Rheumatoid Arthritis which limits my ability to use anything other than light weights and thus my results.
I found I lost all my weight this time on the priming phase, and nothing at all the first week of the CYWT regular week, so this week am tweaking to have 3 low carb days, and 3 low gi days, and will see what happens :)

In 16 weeks I would like to add 5-10kgs of muscle and get rid of the last bit of fat

my goals are to lose 20lbs of fat and to get my bench from 185lbs 12+times to 225lbs 12+times an if possible get my arm from 18-1/2 to 20 inchs. if anyone has any helpful tip please let me know i have my work cut out for me

My goal is to gain another 7lb of lean muscle, so that means dropping my body fat percentage. I will be satisfied when i have a ripped six pack ;D

My 16 week goal is to reduce bodyfat to 16 % . ( currently @ approx 21 %) and STAY LEAN!

Over the next 16 weeks my goal is to lose 20 lbs and increase my fitness levels.

Hi Joel I am a 24yr old female who is 166cm and weighs 71kg. I workout a lot but clearly my nutrition isn’t good enough as should (or think) I should weigh about 65ish kg. Im already pretty toned but need to reduce the body fat. Really need your help to keep me motivated.

Thanks

My target for the next 16 weeks is to lose 28lb of body fat and to add as much muscle as is possible!

I have a really big problem with sticking with an exercise and clean eating program. I’m trying to do a 30-day Challenge. I’m a good starter but then drop off after 2-3 weeks. That would be my goal to stick with it and lose the weight around my hips and stomach along with a good overall body tone.

my goals well……to get ripped have a six pack

I wants to put more muscles on my body especially on my shoulders, arms, chest and abs for better appearence =)

I want to lose about 15lbs of fat and gain 5 or more lbs of muscle, which would hopefully bring me to about 41kg of lbm and 18% to 20% body fat… but more importantly id like to be confident about the way I look, and be fitter all round. I really want to be firmly on my way and much happier by August.

At 50 years old, I want to lose fat and at least keep the muscle I have if not build more, so I’m not as concerned about dropping pounds as I am dropping fat off my waist. I do 30 minutes of interval cardio work on the elliptical 5 days per week in the morning. Over my lunch hour I lift weights 3 days per week (MWF) for a total of about 20 sets per day. For legs I do 1 set of 35-40 reps on the leg press, 4 sets of seated calf raises, then 3 supersets of leg extensions and leg curls. Moving to upper body, I do 1 set of about 9 or 10 different upper body machines, moving along between them without too much rest. Tuesdays and Thursdays I do ab work and 20 minutes of cycling. Weekends I rest.

My 16 week goal is fat loss. I currently sit at 35.6%. Since May 4 I have lost 8 lbs. and 13 1/2 inches, but the body fat measurement has only decreased by 0.7. Not good enough. I have a goal weight in mind (144) and goal measurements (specifically waist @30) but it’s the body fat that weighs most heavily on my mind. I have a goal range of 21-24% but seem to be struggling with that. I have discovered that I am somewhat carb sensitive after dropping the Higher GI/GL days from the Core Phase and dropped two pounds after no weight loss for two weeks. I am a “portion size” dieter who is a Protein-Type which essentially means the leaner cuts of protein do not stick with me for long. I am soldiering on…even through an upcoming 2 week vacation to Florida. This “diet” is so easy to maintain that I don’t feel deprived and/or ridiculed for following a certain way of eating. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving up soda, french fries and ranch dressing…seriously. Three things (among other things) I can do without.

One more thing, am I the only one who’s “system” rebels on Cheat Days? You say satisfy any cravings you are having but my cravings are essentially gone and anything “off plan” that I do consume upsets my system. I guess that’s a good thing.

My goal is to lose 4-5 % body fat (lean out for the first time in preparation for first figure contest in November after 3 years of solid training and losing 30lbs of fat).
