My weight has gone up 2lbs this week due to a binge on chocolate and Special K on Friday. I feel bad for it but I don’t think it has done me that much harm.

 I have just finished my 12 week Body For Life Challenge and I would well recommend it to anyone who wants motivation to stick to a diet and training programme.

Over the 12 weeks my body fat dropped from 19.5% to 7.0% and I lost 44lbs. I’m going to keep dieting until I have completed 15 weeks then start gaining some quality muscle.

 Thats all I’ve been up to, happy training. Glen.

My weight is still dropping but has leveled out nicely now…..between 2 and 3lbs a week are coming off. My strength has hit a level too.

 I’m still focused on getting shredded for my photo-shoot on December the 15th….but I’m also looking forward to "bulking up" for 18 months starting in January.

My diet will be kept the same but I will eat a lot more of it and add red meat once a day.

That’s me for this fortnight.

I’ve been dieting for just over 6 weeks now. I have lost strength though….If I still have the same muscle mass then surely my strength should not be affected, however, the lack of carbs has lowered mt energy levels.

Going into week 7 of my diet I have lowered my carbs again, now I only consume 88gms a day, yet my strength is creeping back up again. Is this down to muscle memory, determination, lack of fat or what?

How can I be eating less food, be more tired, do more cardio and still improve my strength?

My concern  is that I will end up going "pop" and find myself with fatigue or something.

I need some advice from you guys?
