Scarlett O'Hara

I was thinking of putting this in the recreation thread, but I think it's more of a general topic so good stuff!

Currently I am doing some intense pilates exercises to strengthen my core. I'm naturally really flexible and this means my back is more prone to aching. I have got so much working out to do. Not to mention the weight I could lose.

Is anyone else just as guilty as me for wanting to lose weight but always going back for the chocolate and chips? I mean I'm not one of those girls that beats myself up for eating junk food, but it's hugely on my mind that without lowering the fat and sugar intake I won't be able to make progress, even with exercise.

Apparently exercise is not enough to lose weight, you have to incorporate a healthy diet or reduced calories in order to shed fat.

EvilChuck you should drink protein shakes if you want to build muscle. It's incredible important you increase your protein as that is what will build your muscles when you use weights. I put on an inch on my thigh within a few weeks from doing weights and bike machines and drinking shakes. It's just milk and protein powder, really yum actually!
