Super low calorie delicious zoodles with a creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce. Mix together crème fraîche (fat free), 25 g Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, sweetcornand a hint of cayenne. Oven bake “zoodled” zucchini without oil for a little while then mix all together and top with thin rings of onion. Lovely!!!!! I…

I had this. Then 3 pounds gone in a day! Weird times.

I think I will write to my doc and see if he is ok with me raising my HR levels a bit. I swear the weight gain is happening at the same time as the extra hot flashes...do we naturally need more hrt over time to stay at the same balance i wonder? Maybe I havent even found my balance yet. i'm going to look into it. Thank you…

i'm not logging my food, i find it takes too much of my time.. The weighing etc isnt for me. I am too busy keeping up with 3 kids, 2 dogs and a house to run to weigh everything.... I think I'm going to mostly eat vegetables. Cheese can wait but I dont know about the wine lol. This worked for me once before, lots of oven…

I'm feeling like you today!

I started last week. I'm not super strict but I am trying to exercise a lot more! 30 pounds to lose

Hi! I’m rose and want to loose just over 1 stone. Am also looking for accountability so I don’t treat myself for doing such a marvellous job all the time!...

Ok I want to loose 15 pounds btw. Some think that’s not a lot. But I swear my body tries so hard to cling on to it...

Oh me too. I lost it by my 40th. Not huge amounts but what I worked hard for. Then I gained it again. Not sure if I can blame hysterectomy, menopause or just being a greedy cow.... oh and wine. How’s about we just pull ourselves together and start again. Today. We can be svelte and ready to wow in a few months.... my…

Day 4 and im doing 👍🏻

I think I’m usually pretty low carbs. But not enough to be in Ketosis. I’m hoping that after a while the loss may be manageable... I find that calorie controlled weight loss is harder somehow - I miss certain foods such as mayonnaise and I start to crave things.. like if I’m allowed a little sugar, say one cookie, I tend…

They’re seeing you as inspirational. Be complimented.

Great!!! Is it not a bit limiting? I’m not keto but I took out all “big” carbs like pasta, bread rice. I eat lots of veges and eggs. I doubt I’m keto because I eat a lot of tomatoes and onions which MFP tells me is high in sugars. But I would miss them too much. I’ve been slowly losing weight, lost around 13 pounds (not…

U less we’re doing heaps of fitness training I don’t think the female stomach is meant to be flat. That’s made up by the media. A natural stomach is slightly rounded. We have organs and wombs and all sorts going on in there. Don’t aim for the unnatural. you are healthy and doing great!!!

I can't seem to eat enough protein. I love veges and tend to just not eat enough protein. Or if I do my fats go sky high... nuts, eggs.. maybe protein supplements could help me to reach my protein goals.

Original starting weight - 152 June Starting Weight - 141lbs June goal weight - 136lbs Ultimate goal weight - 132lbs Hi all. I am struggling with losing the final 10lbs. I've not had a massive amount to lose but am finding it tough going.. slow... am hoping together we can do this!!!!! I also turn 40 in July and would love…

Ok great thanks! Salty snack here I come

Recomp? I am so new to this whole macro and nutrition watch thing I don't know all the terms. What do you use? I've seen some powders at the local sports shop?.

My percentage is 40% which makes 120g - not far from the 116 the 0.8 per lb equation. I just can't seem to make it and keep my fat low (35%)

Yes I am trying the 0.8h per pound. Which would make me 116g. I am meeting 80-90 daily. Megan maybe I should try a smoothie to top it up.

Ok I didn't realize the figures were minimum, I thought to stay within them all. Cool, thanks!

Thanks all.

Why?

25,40,35 that's mine. And so far so good.

For my weight loss I put 1200 calories too. Seems web calculators don't suggest less. My goal was too aggressive it told me, sonit suggested 1200 calories. It's early days but this week looks to be 2 kilo loss. I was aiming for 1 so maybe I should eat more. I seem to be able to eat quite well and stick within the 1200 so I…

And the minimums are those percentages? I'm confused about the word "minimum"... I want to build some muscle and lose fat.. asap ;)

Well yes. I've set it to 30 carbs, 35 protein and 35 fats. But not sure if this is healthy!?

I guess I just want results fast... should learn patience!! I will lower the protein a bit and up the carbs - I find that protein level hard to meet. Maybe 30,35,35..
