How much have you lost in the last four weeks?

I had major abdominal, and bowel surgery on December 20th, not been able to run since September. Started running again 18 days ago and today managed 60 minutes! I'm over the moon with that :)

Fruit and nuts are natures instant foods on the go. I just ask any restaurant to do my grilled fish or chicken with dry spice rub and a side salad with no dressing.

You shouldn't try to lose weight whilst recovering. You will slow down the healing process. Eat at maintenance and get a decent amount of protein each day.

What's your goal? To gain mass?

Eat potatoes and cranberries but I really think you are just over thinking it. Your Dr can test your thyroid if you are concerned.

Are you due your period? Have you started a new exercise regime?

The Woo is hurting my eyes

Take a bag of salad with you, then eat the full bag plus some of the meal they make. They do it because they love you but they don't see it isn't what you need them to do. My family is used to me turning up with a bag of steamed veg now, only took 20 years!

I think you should speak to your Doctor, that is not a normal way to think.

@gearfreegains Blame genetics.

It's just normal fluctuation. Your weight never stays a constant number. You are a weight range. It is also highly likely that your period is effecting the number.

I weigh every day, it helps me understand the fluctuations.

I'd run before breakfast then eat what ever I liked.

80g is a serving of fruit and veg in the uk. Except dried fruit which can count as 1 serving is 30g. 250ml serving of juice is one a day as well. The UK government recommends 800g a day or the equivalent of.

I save the calories during the week to enjoy my weekends.

You won't gain any meaningful muscle whilst eating at a deficit. To protect the muscle you have and to lose a higher fat % you should eat enough protein, around 0.8g per lb of goal weight and you should do some resistance training.

I always go by net calories but I don't look at those stupid charts. I go by the net calories left over each week in the app. If you go in to your food diary, scroll to the bottom. Click nutrition, click calories than change the drop down menu to weekly. Then scroll down below the graph to the net calories.

Sounds like you just need to half your servings.

Breakfast would be aldi light benefit bar. 69 calories and yum. Fruit, raspberries Veg. Mushrooms. I eat around 200g every day of them Sweet snack, would be a banana. Not really a sweet person Take away, Indians vindaloo Child hood favourite was rice sandwiches. I was vegetarian back then. 3foods I dislike, tomatoes,…

Diet soda is pretty much water that tastes nice so I'll never cut it out.

I don't tell myself that any urge or food is more powerful than I am. I tell myself one serving and stick to it. Sugar is not addictive, you're just making excuses to not stick to your calorie goal. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a sweet.

Don't cut your calories too low and don't deny yourself the foods that you like.

Tell yourself you can only have it if you've met your protein, fat and nutrition goals for the day and it fits your calories. I keep around 200 calories a day for snacks. If you deprive yourself you'll struggle to keep eating properly for life

Fairly certain mine needs vodka Or wine

Boiled eggs Jerky Pork rind/scratchings Sugar free jelly Berries with greek yoghurt Brazil nuts Almonds

Gave you a hug I thought the same.

Not on Easter weekend. Because chocolate and vodka.

My advice is get your hair and nails done. Buy a killer dress and enjoy your birthday. Continue to lose at 0.5lb a week until the day.
