IIRC you need less protein when maintaining and carbs are a good thing for muscle building. Hence why keto is effort to do a bulk/lift with.

Hello! We dropped to page 2 again so I just thought i'd casually drop by to first of all inform you of more whoosh of some Christmas water and that I got my Christmas presents from the BFF today............. I'M GOING TO SEE HAMILTON. I can't contain myself. I literally squealed and bounced about when I opened it (it was…

Don't apologise! I have a panther too, beautiful mog.

Mine live under a cat bed in the lounge!

I love my Powerblocks. They're an older model so I can add in the add on sets to up them so will have my eye on a whole new set eventually. I could probably do some things, when training as regularly as I should, beyond the heaviest but I'm fine with pretending I don't need heavier for now!

So sorry. It's so hard when they go, I still have really grief stricken moments a year after losing Dave.

90% of the battle is getting my anxious *kitten* out the door in the first place to be honest. I have to walk past loads of shops and homes and people regardless when I leave my flat. Sometimes I can do it, others, not today. I find it harder to get out somewhere people might recognise me than not. Such a weirdo. And i…

I wish I had more lovely places to walk right outside my door but I'm pretty limited. Even my large local park with taking creative routes is lucky to get me 10k.

I actually think around 30% is right. Your legs and arms are a bit lower but due to the middle/belly it bumps it up and as mentioned, that is the the least ideal place to store excess.The good news is that with the rest of you being relatively leaner it should come off your tummy at a nice pace now. Just keep going and see…

While I absolutely agree the scales can be inaccurate I think getting a scan is really unnecessary for the general population. I'm very much into human physiology, lean mass, gaining and losing fat and lean mass, strength training, all that stuff. I still wouldn't go and get a scan, visual is good enough for me.

And actually it occurs to me, when I go to Disney and do full park days I hit 30k steps. 24k just in normal day to day life without an active job is quite something.

Me too. My steps are undercounted though. I live in a flat in London, with stuff. Reasonably neat and tidy stuff but small areas to walk means I'm hardly swinging my arms for steps to be captured. Also lazy. Would like to not be lazy so I might at least pace the 5 or 6 steps from hall to kitchen. Maybe this is the year I…

Gluten free, dairy free, low carb, high carb, raw vegan high protein, 6 meals a day, stop eating at 6pm and no carbs after lunch, no sugar unless it's natural (white sugar, despite coming from the plant sugar cane, is not allowed), no caffeine, get rid of the fake sugar drinks, no cake, lemon water and a shot of ACV first…

Mackerel in tom sauce slightly warmed in the micro or same for tuna, helped Dave when he struggled with appetite. I'd also break up Dreamies on it. This was when I was encouraging him off tube feeds.

All of our car spaces are compact. You can imagine how much fun that is. Hell our carparks are compact! Back in the dark ages of the Romans when they first built supermarkets and multi-stories and carparks and such like (totes historically accurate, ask Nony) only farmers had 4WD. Now even my small car can have a time if I…

There is! All their festive chocs are in the sale now (a chocolate, I mean, that's the elixir of life right?). I have to go pick up the aforementioned ordered playsuit from the mall there is a branch of this place in. Now do I trust myself to get something in the sale...............…

I think, on reflection, I might deserve about 2lbs but I would think that's the upper limit. So I have about 5lbs of water still to whoosh off. I peaked at a 10lb gain! I'll probably need a couple of weeks to know the truth though because it can take me an age to whoosh off water. Particularly if I get my *kitten* in gear…

Chicken and waffles! Yum. All of it looks yum.

I am still a water filled blimp. My boots arrived and are everything I hoped they'd be. I think the courier might have a crush on me (which is kind of alarming given I look homeless most of the time he sees me). I just ordered some fragrance and smellies to further attempt to cheer my giftless self up. And a…

Sucking cows. *Insert childish OT response here*

Legit just makes me get all wistful because of Tower of Terror in Disney World.

I do the naked assessment thing. I've done it for a long time. It is how I came to stop being an early 20s hate myself woman who would go on to continuing to hate themselves. Losing weight has never come from a place of self hatred but, to be hippy drippy, self love. Looking at myself lets me be objective about the good…

As I have recently tracked and discovered, I have one week in 8 that I am absolutely floored with exhaustion because of the way my psych meds interact with my hormones and the pill. None of those things are optionals to stop so I just let myself not do anything if I can't. But I'm talking sleeping 14 hours a day and still…

Just, um, there's space between being soft and being a lean muscular man. And it's okay to want to be anywhere on that spectrum as long as it's healthy. Just saying. I also think only using the scale number in the least objective measure but that's just me.

I think she's encouraging you to get to the bit about aliens. And no, I'm not joking.

Wait wait wait. I hooked you up with amazing bras this year! Don't be playing that sympathy card!

And the very fact she has been asked if she has spoken with a crackpot would indicate said crackpot is worth listening to. Non.

Wait, Them paying you off is how you afford all that lovely underwear isn't it!

I watched an (American) series about survivalists? Is that what they're called, The end of days lots of various colours? The Nibiru crowd were in there. They did not come across as sensible people.

I next to never eat anywhere with calorie counts. Because not that many chains. It's okay to make an educated guesstimate, worked out okay for me over the last 2.5 years.
