Ooo thank you, i like Kung Po chicken! I was also debating chicken satay.....with the extra protein coming from the peanuts, but id imagine they would add a fair bit of sugar. I'm definitely okay with clean carbs from veggies just want to avoid anything battered or loaded with sugar

Thank you for your honesty

I think my maintenance is around 1400 from what I can work out??? I'm going to try and research how I should be splitting my calories like protein/carbs/fat wise

Do you think??!! I honestly feel like I look flabby and overweight. But I agree a recomp fits with what my PT friend said.....that I should worry about measurements/inches not weight. I've just always been lighter!!

I only say a stone because i felt best at around 8 1/2. It's more about loosing fat/toning but i don't feel like thats possible while maintaining my current weight iykwim

Going by this I'm definitely up near 30 if not more

(My profile pic is from last year when I was much thinner!!)

No i dont. But I would guess at around 25-30%

Why so?

I actually (stupidly) through I looked pretty OK in my photo....but I have such a long way to go to get where I want to be

That sounds do-able :)

So what kind of bf % should I be aiming for??

Can I just say that you both look amazing by the way!!

Thanks ladies :) I have some fancy scales that do body fat % and mine is 21. It also told me to maintain I need around 1800 calories so I'm aiming for 1500 a day. With lots of protein and clean carbs. When you say lift heavy, do you mind sharing your routine? I'm kind of limited as my gym is more geared towards fitness and…

I'm not a beginner as such. I did her program a couple of years ago before I had my babies. I got through phase 2. But interestingly I didn't see any gains either. I put it down to restricting my calories too much (700 a day) and not eating right. But maybe I was overtraining too. I currently work out 4 times a week, a…

I started it a couple if years ago before I had my daughter, got through phase 2 and was definitely ALOT stronger. But I wasn't eating right, restricting my calories to 700 a day, so I didn't see any gains really. I've been training pretty hard the last month but feel like I need some proper direction and a program to…

You should get a carrier or sling to put baby in when you walk, instead of the pushchair. Better exercise!!!
