That colour is amazing :love:

I’m assuming by your username that you’re in NZ? If that’s the case then the carbs on the packets of everything are already worked out as net carbs for you (the only exception to this would be sugar alcohols if you eat anything with those I.e malitol which it’s kinda up to you whether you count it). So you’ll find that…

Yeah measure raw and then cook - I tend to buy big packs, divide it and measure as I divvy it up into smaller freezer bags all of roughly the same weight to save time when cooking later on. Also as another thought I’ve discovered that the place I order from does ‘minimum’ weights rather than actual - so for instance the…

It definitely says ‘looking to lose 115lb’

It’s almost certainly for raw product if it’s not specified as your could cook it any number of ways and end up with different calories (deep frying v poaching v covering in breadcrumbs). To give you an idea on the unreliability of green ticks take a look at these amounts Then for instance an egg is 70cal, 10gm butter…

My food shopping for the month: Meat: chicken breast or thighs (thighs are higher calories though), low fat sausages, 5% mince, steak, low fat beef and chicken burger patties, prawns, turkey meat balls, low fat bacon medallions Other protein: protein bars, eggs, cheese (low and high fat depending on what it’ll be used for)…

Depends how much exercise I’m doing and on the day how hungry I am. I’ve recently changed my activity level/weight loss speed to more reflect my (surprisingly to me) fairly active lifestyle and went from target calories of 1200/day (sedentary/lightly active and 1kg/2lb a week) to 1750/day (moderately active and 1/2kg/1lb a…

Thanks for posting this :-)

Precooked rotisserie chicken, precooked prepackaged meats (ham, sausages etc), eggs, protein shakes/bars (mind the carb content), cheese, dairy products Add with salad ingredients and/or microwave veg

Surf and turf for dinner Plus made up some food for lunches - stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon (cream cheese, spinach, mushroom, and broccoli) plus some turkey meatballs cooked in tinned tomatoes and topped with some cheese - slightly higher in carb but will be delicious - might make some zucchini noodles to have…

Chicken mini breast fillets, two eggs, avocado, feta stuffed peppers, spinach, gherkin, pickled onions, olives and some salad cream

12 weeks in The clothed pics are the full 12 weeks apart (as I didn’t take proper before pics) 82kg (181 lbs - bmi 32 to 73kg (160 lbs -bmi 28.5) The others show from 78.5kg to 73kg

Squat (and hold) while you’re brushing your teeth - (can also extend this to washing hair/hands/face etc) Unpack dishwasher one item at a time If you have stairs in your house then double step them (walk up two, down one, up two, down one etc)

Fats: Macadamias, cheese, avocado, mayonnaise, bacon, dark chocolate, cream cheese, cook with butter and oil, leave chicken skin on, eat meat fat, :-)

Saaaaaaammmmme 2kg + and the morning after a new low... bounce up 2kg... eventually get down lower than that low... bounce up again... and so on and so forth

Hmmmm.... ok... well I haven’t weighed them (an mfp sin :lol: ) but 1kg bag and 5 in a packet (200gm per thigh by my math - I assumed the cals were by total weight not edible bit... so didn’t bother subtracting bone... I usually eat them all within a week so don’t bother with individual weights) - which is double the…

But skin is delicious :lol:

Chicken breast, eggs, garlic and herb Philadelphia, olives, feta stuffed peppers, sundried tomatoes and spinach

Chicken thighs! One chicken thigh (normal size) is 450+ calories. I mean... I still eat them because they’re delicious but man they knock my calories out!

I do Tabata cycling as part of my workouts - my HR is 185-195 during the exercise periods and I can barely walk/breathe after the 4 min - in fact I sit on the bike and try not to die for the first couple of minutes after and then hold onto the rail as I hobble to roll out my legs and stretch trying not to have my legs give…

You look so much healthier and happier! Well done!

Ok a few options - (I’m basing this on the premise you want more veges/ fruit when you say healthy) 1. Buy frozen/steamer bag veges when you do your shop - there is nothing wrong with meat, potato and veg for dinner if it keeps you full and satisfied. It takes no more time to throw a few pre-diced veges on the same tray.…

@dove121 have you lost 3.6kg in 2 weeks? If so that’s not slow at all! I didn’t have a massive amazing amount of water disappear at the beginning like some people do.. my colleagues wife lost 8kg in first 2 weeks!! I lost a couple of kg... then cruised for a bit... then a couple more... cruised again (bouncing up and down…

I was playing dress up just the other day checking how different clothes now fit! :+1: great fun - and congrats on slaying your dragon!!

I eat them cold too - or room temp 😂 (pretty much a cast iron stomach here) - Extra good (but much messier) with mayo and mustard/curry powder - you can always make devilled eggs which are slightly less messy than me just plonking mayo on 😂

I’m often in same boat - my go to snacks: Macadamias, dark chocolate, boiled eggs, salami, meatballs, chicken pieces, prawns, olives, cheese
