    Morning all,

    Thanks again for all your comments and feedback! I truely appreciate your comments.

    Ok here is the deal! I met with my PT last night and eventhought my weight has only dropped from 11.1 stone to 10.11 I have dropped a few inches..... I am down 2.5 /2.0 inches on my thighs, 2 on my hips and 2 on my belly so at least something is helping.

    He thought I looked lean and was surprised to find my BF was 28%!!!! OMG i nearly died.... that would mean I am 1/3 FAT!!!

    He looked at my diet in detail and agrees with most of you guys on here that I could be eating to little abd he thinks my issue is a mixture I am eating to little and exercising too much and because I went from doing NADA and eating junk to being the polar oppossite he thinks my body may be going into starvation mode. He also said that because its the "time of the month" for me it could have an impact on my weight and inches.

    We agreed that for the following week I will need to look a little closer on my diet.... control and limit my carb/sugar intake, find another protein poweer which has no carbs and no sugar or stop taking protein shakes.

    Also I will stop cycling every day as he said this shouldnt be required for me to loose weight so I am going to try and just do the 5 sessions a week (crossfit x 2 TRX x 1 and 2 PT sessoins)



    Just to comment on ryry's comment : I admit I didnt use a digital scale for all foods so I might try and get one. I would go with small cups and handfulls (but always be on the small size if that makes sense) so ie I would list a small banana on my diary but its would be an extra small banana I would eat.




    So this morning I had 2 weetabix with unsweetned almond milk..... yum :)

    All good advice except the bolded. There is no reason to limit sugar or carbs unless you have a medical condition. It won't stop fat loss by any means.
