I really do need to start meal prepping that way i have time to cook different meals and also look forward to them..that may help.

Thats actually a good idea. I think a lot of the times simple meals are the best as its not too complicated especially for people that work long and sometimes dont have the time to cook complicated meals with strange ingredients lol. I tend to get bored of the same simple meals, however it could also be my fear of eating…

I want to say a mssive thank you to everyone who replied. I have taken every bit of information and will try to apply this. Its more of a trigger. Im tired ive eaten well ..i can eat those biscuits. I think like most have said plan ahead, meal prep and know how much i need to eat. Again today with this 40degree heat at the…

What do you eat to increase protein intake. I struggle! Even with a protein shake in the morning and protein both lunch time and dinner i still cant reach goal of 130g. Think i just need to either have an extra shake or eat more chicken. Lol

My dinner was baked salmon with soy sauce and honey with sauteed spinach and mushrooms.

Thank you everyone. I know what i need to do and lets hope i get this right this time lol

It says 1200 but im struggling with that one. I workout 4 x a week too and find that 1200 is just not sustainable for me. Unless I'm being a greedy ..... lol. I need to lose 4 to 5 kgs to reach my goal. Im 159cm and 57 kgs.

Ohhh that's a good idea, i never thought pf syncing my fitbit to MFB, i will do that. Thank you so much for your thorough answer <3

Growing up i lived with a household of women, 2 sisters and my mum and even to this day my mum who is 70 is still fixated and glued to thise scales. Its imprinted in all of our brains..we are always on a "diet" i live a healthy lifestyle and i go to rhe gym whereas the rest of my family will diet and then eat and "lets…

I binge when im bored or extremely tired. Ill start off with a small snack i.e. an apricot which later turn to 6 apricots, a kit kat bar and a slice of toast. When im on a binge i am NEVER full. I find it so stressfull and so hard to stop myself!

Hmm never thought that certain meats could bloat. I've been eating chicken alot ! Maybe it's chicken? Hmmm :/

I go to the toilet around 2 to 3 x a day how much poop do I have in me lol ?

I haven't found any remedy for it im afraid. I'm on 130g protein 120g carbs and 50g fat. I'm 5ft 2 and I weigh 55kgs. It's been nearly 4 weeks since upping my protein. Don't know of any intolerances at the momment but should do a test I think it would be nice to know what i am actually Intolerant too. X

Gotta love the broccoli!!! :)

Yes I think that it really is water weight. From hitting 56kgs ( my heaviest in 2 years) I am now 55.4kg lol this is the end of the my first week of hardcore gyming. You're right i think i won't log anymore or log but not to get as obsessed as i usually get. I find that when I eat bread of any kind it bloats but when I eat…

I became slightly obsessed with counting calories and it made me feel a little anxious and depressed so I stopped however I can usually judge roughly on what calories I am consuming. I am eating around 1.300 kcal

Sorry about that my phone fell and pressed post lol. But yes first full week at the gym i.e hardcore. Is all this happening to me normal???

Little update.. it's really stressing me out! Now I'm even more bloated and gassy too and peeing like somethings wedged onto my bladder. Is this all normal?? This is my first full week at thengyn ñ

Thank you everyone for replying :smile: Just nice to know what's out there.

I told MFP that I wanted to lose. I don't want to lose a huge amount of weight, about 4-5 kgs and then when I do I want to tone up. Even now at 55kgs I'm not a bad weight but I don't feel toned and I come off looking like i am mire than what i weigh

I love how you're always positive, thank you. Ok I think i got the jist of it all now. Like I said in previous posts I did stop tracking as i got very obsessed with it and wasn't doing any good for my mental state,but i will try again and see how it goes. Membership at the gym will help motivate me.

I will do, And hopefully in a couple of weeks ill update the post with positive results lol

Hmm yes I think you're right, I'll do jusy that. I'll start tracking again for a couple of weeks and see how I go from there. It probabaly is water weight its just so disheartening when you're working so hard and eating healthy too ..yet you see yourself put on weight and your body changing yet again ! 6 weeks! Eugh i hope…

Yes this probably could be it .. just so frustrating. I wish it was easy but it's not I find it all so complicated. I eat around 1200 calories a day, im 5ft 2 and before i had the weight gain I was 53kgs and now I'm 55!

Yes I actually didn't think of that.. as i said i was doing home work outs before with no weights at all and now at the gym in squatting 60kg and using weights in every excercising. So like you and others have said it probabaly is jjst water weight. I'm hoping it is ! Its weird aswell ..it seems like my cellulite has…

I was tracking them obsessively to be honest so I took a break from counting calories but I basically know what each thing I eat roughly is from tracking before and to be honest im.eating pretty much the same as i was before. This is why it's the only thing I can think off. It's bizarre.. It's making me feel awful

Yes i know... but a i mean cmon its been like a good solid year!!! Cmon stomach fat just bog off! My legs and arms are much thinner.. should be my stomach now lol

Just wish there was some sort of something i could do to speed up the process!

Nooo why are you doing this to me genetics? Lol. How does one lose body fat?im on 1300 kcal when i go lower than that im afraid i go for the nearest carb lol

Well im normally im flat -ish in the morning but yes by evening bigger belly lol. Posture is fine thankfully
