well done so far in your weight loss..

Now there is a missconseption that i hear all the time in the gym. people walking round saying im toning up?

FACT - there is no such thing as `tone up` you either loosing fat or building muscle!

so with this in mind you need to choose your path.. keep the cardio going and get rid of the excess fat so that your current muscles start to show.. or build your muscles to increase their size so they show...

you can mix the 2 of course but you wont get the full effects of loosing weight or building muscle because one has to be done with a calorie deficiency (loose weight) or a calorie surplus (add muscle mass)
(there is more to it than that but in a nutshell)

supps wise you can get alot better and cheaper from www.myprotien.com and they sell pretty much everything. you can use code MP21809 at the checkout for a daft 5% off as well...

As said ditch the weight gainer as its made up of carbohydrates so your refeeding your body with all the reserves your trying to burn. Muscles need Protein as fuel so get a 100% Whey Protein or similar to suppliment the weight gain if you want to keep muscle size.

You cant turn fat into muscle. I'd ditch the protein and the weights and just do millions of cardio till you get to a reasonable weight then think about bulking.
