I only like white marshmallows 🤷🏼‍♀️ the pink ones are foul!

Up your sodium intake significantly 3000-5000mg/day plus salting your food is a good baseline. Either supplement with straight salt and just lick it off a spoon or drink salty broth, pickle juice (sounds weird but so good), or Powerade zero electrolyte type drinks :-) Losing all that water means you’re losing a lot of salt…

If you’re using on your phone you need to hit “done” for it to search otherwise it won’t show anything. If that’s not working try closing the app and reloading, Otherwise I’m not sure it should all be there!

I warm up with the exercises I am doing in increasing weights. For instance my squats I do 1 set empty bar (20kg) 1 set 40kg 1 set 60kg 1 set 80kg 1 set 100kg Then my actual workout 5 sets at whatever weight I’m at (currently 115kg) I don’t take rests (other than moving around lots of plates) between warm ups only once I’m…

😂🙌... amazing how often that happens right 😉

The differences in your arm and jawline in particular are amazing - well done

It’s great advice - I’ve been raiding the charity shops. Found some things I’ve since shrunk out of (one jumper I didn’t even get to wear 🙄) and bought a few coats in the smallest size I could (without looking ridiculous) so I can wear them with jumpers under them once I lose some more. I also bought some snow pants which…

There are challenge threads in various places on here which might help, or try and find a few mfp friends who follow what you do and comment on your progress x

@Putcake @Lesley2603 Amazing what weightlifting does to your body and mind right?! Great work :-)

Can we see a picture please?! Sounds beautiful!

Lean gains programme might help you with what you’re trying to achieve. It will help with calculations to cycle calories for you with higher calories in work out days and lower calories on other days with an overall deficit (so you’ll hopefully maintain/ maybe gain a little muscle and lose fat). If you are strictly trying…

Chicken and peppers (chicken, mushrooms, spices, peppers, onion). Frozen in portions and I use it in wraps, on pizza, with cauliflower rice, salad etc Spaghetti Bol sauce which I freeze in portions and have as either mince on toast, mince and mashed potato or pasta with bare naked noodles I tend to cook a quiche each week…

They put BEEF flavouring on McDonald’s chips in the USA?! What the?!

Also prawns are heaps of protein (about 90% of calories are from protein), 5% mince, some sausages (heck brand in U.K.). Plenty of ways to get your macros working for you @zanyterp What was your “low” protein amount @qweck3 ?

Love, marriage and wealth... looks like I’m marrying well 😂

Great work!!!

I was overestimating weight wise ... but allllllll the calories in that one delicious spread on my crumpet still makes me very very sad 😔

Also peanut butter by about 1/3rd. Cashews/other nuts (probably trying to be too cautious like some have mentioned). Mayonnaise and other condiments and spray creams etc Even when I was weighing using a spring scale I was way over estimating them. Strangely the things I was underestimating are things that don’t really…

The squishy fat and the woosh. These pics were a few days apart as I had been stalled with my stomach getting very squishy... woke up a little lighter but a fair amount leaner three days later - lost about 1kg (1.3% body weight) in two days.

You drive down through your heels and spread your toes out for balance to lift heavy - socks, converse (which I lift in) or weight lifting shoes make a huge difference. I was using normal padded gym shoes which had a soft and slightly raised heel - switched it up and it made a world of difference.

And I’ve as of today lost a two year old... i don’t particularly want it back either ;)

Well where did you last have it? ;)

Wowsers - both you and raj are looking phenomenal!

These devilish little things. I absolutely have no control over eating them. Sadly/fortunately they’re too expensive in the U.K. for me to be able to get them regularly £10 for 150gm plus postage 😖

... McDonald’s in most countries has been tested to have reliably gluten free fries (I’m coeliac and have never had an issue with them in nz/Australia/middle east/Asia/uk/Europe) ;)

Calories - based on goal of fat loss/maintenance/increasing weight. Stick to your calorie goal as a priority. Protein (0.5-0.8gm/lb body weight each day is the generally accepted rule) to encourage muscle rebuilding - and try to make sure you eat at least 20gm after your workout (that’s based on a very small size study…

How long do you have until you need to be able to do it? Find a 30 day ab challenge that includes sit ups and do it religiously, or do your five, then do six the next day and add one or two every day - or do sets dropping by one each set (5,4,3,2,1 next day 6,5,4,3,2,1). Yoga, incline sit ups, leg raises, Swiss ball, pole…

Lots of things. Part of which is reminding myself that this isn’t hard, this is easy.. I know exactly what I have to do to lose fat, and when I do it, I lose fat.. it’s literally that simple. Yes, taller people get more calories, as do people with more to lose, as do males, as do people who work out more than I do... but…

Vitamin D during winter (I often work night shifts and don’t see the sun for days on end). Vitamin C if/when I’m getting a cold (even though evidence says it does nothing I believe strongly in the placebo effect 😉)

Generally the advice it to up your salt significantly - it’s often to do with electrolyte imbalances due to water loss. Also make sure you’re drinking enough water :-)
