these slendertone things are impressive to be honest. put it on the highest level on the highest frequency for 30 minutes or an hour per day and you see a difference. 6 days in and theres a difference. albeit alongside me going the gym

The missus has just been setting mine up and it said I'm allowed 1400 calories a day which I thought was pretty low. I am at the gym most days too. I need to have a good look at it myself

I'm 14, 7 and want to lose 2 stone

Pheeny · « **Reply #2613 on:** February 13, 2012, 04:58:15 pm »

was doing well last week,lost 2 kilos of the 6 that I'd put on since Christmas.But had a heavy weekend and put 1 back on...

edge · « **Reply #2614 on:** February 13, 2012, 05:20:49 pm »

Started this year shitty, so now I'm at about 13st at 6ft. Went from 15 to 12,5 between july and christmas, so its time to get back in there..! Looking to get to and stay around 12-12.5, but with less fat and more muscle.

Hitting the gym today, gonna try to get into the 3 days-a-week routine again.

I can do 14-1600 calories a day, but I don't have time to excercise so I have to be really tight on calories.

If you are doing excercise I would suggest a few more pies in the tank or you will get quite light headed I would imagine.

yeah this
i think its a net intake more than anything, its probably about 400 calories down on what you need to stay the same weight

i listed what i trained last week which TW pointed out but i have to say it did take a lot out of me. tonights a night off as a result.

if theres one thing you need to eat to lose weight imo its pineapple god knows why. probably to do with that enzyme in it. i eat like i'm in a zoo lately. like 400grams+ per day. eating loads of pineapple and doing loads of walking/bike rides alongside weights now and an hour on that slendertone thing per day.

So, you electrocute yourself and eat pineapples.

Really, there is nothing special about pineapple that helps you lose weight... Eat any fruit and it will be the same..... Low in calories...

Mind you, you are probably better off eating whole grains as they will release their energy more slowly and you will feel less hungry.

i don't know y'know. like pineapple burns your mouth sometimes because of the enzyme in it. its been shown to soften meat up aswell

Fiasco · « **Reply #2625 on:** February 14, 2012, 02:41:25 pm »

I've been doing well for a few weeks now, going the gym alot etc but I haven't had a chance to get weighed so I don't know how much I've lost. A few people have commented that I've lost a bit so I'm happy with that, makes me want to keep going.

I'm ill at the minute though, full of flu and I think I've got a virus/infection as I'm zapped of energy and feel like I'm going to be sick. Hope it won't set me back too far when I get better.

You've got hydrochloric acid in your stomach and a range of enzymes which have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years and you're hoping a pineapple will do a better job

It tatstes nice and it's low calorie and it's packed full of vitamins .... It does plenty already

Nice.

I've been staying off it. Heavy night in November (I think it was) when I had a couple, then half a bottle of saki, and then vommed in my mate's neighbour's driveway.

Don't all those simple sugars from eating loads of fruit turn to fat?

Depends how much you have, if you have too much, it will be converted to glycogen and then ultimately to fat yes....

Still, if you ate only pineapple you'd need to eat a LOT of pineapple to get fat.
