Here are some no/low prep ideas I used to like when I wasn’t remote: Wrapping cherry tomatoes in slices of ham/chicken/turkey (could replace the cherry tomatoes with babybel lights for a bit more fat some days) Soups Protein bars Boiled eggs Jerky Ricecakes Sugar free jelly Congrats on the progress so far and good luck…

Brilliant work, that’s a fantastic transformation and I like the tips - I’m off to look up air fryers!

Excellent, well done mate. Sounds like some really good starting points - I find it easier to make some subtle changes to begin with (like just having a smaller portion of what I was already having) and some decent substitutes (like you’re doing with the wraps for the bread) and build from there. Best of luck!

Sat down last night, wrote down some fitness goals, made some changes to set me up for success and feel like I’m about to get back on track without too much damage done

I want to lose about 20lbs or so - ideally by the end of the year. Probably more importantly I want to focus on the process and doing the right things everyday that lead to that goal - After losing about 50lbs I decided I wanted to take a break from the things that led me there (calorie tracking, eating healthily,…

I like light cheese. Added bonus of it being able to sit in the fridge for a little while if you don’t feel the need to eat it (as opposed to something with a shorter date where you buy it in case you’re hungry and then either have to eat it/waste it). Nut butters are good too but a bit too easy for me to overeat those.…

I barely ever post (though often browse) but had to for this! Absolutely remarkable! You must have some mindset! Congrats!

Being able to wear my old sweaters (and buy new ones) without feeling I look ridiculous! I just can’t wear sweaters when I’m carrying too much weight.

I downloaded the C25K app a few weeks ago but done nothing with it yet - just been working with weights and dieting. Read through the whole thread and it’s really motivated me to get started today - thank you and well done on your achievement!

Didn’t feel much like lifting tonight at all but dragged myself over to the garage and just lifted a bit lighter than I otherwise would have. A few weeks back if I didn’t feel like I training I just wouldn’t so this feels like a small victory. Consistency has always been my downfall.

Really love eggs and tuna. Pineapple, pomegranate, and mango with salad. Eggs are great too.

Getting out the 180s!

Looking forward to the answers to this. From a family full of people that love cooking I struggle with this aspect too. So far I’ve just been finding entries made by others for the generic end products of the meal and picking the most prudent one.

Despite an overwhelming number of options, and despite this being seemingly obvious advice, just pick one you like! There’s less between them all than the multitude of choice would suggest. I tend to go for the ON ones for what it’s worth.

B: 3 large eggs, 20g cheese, 100g spinach, 200g broccoli S: scoop ON Chocolate whey, 175g sugar free jelly, tin of tuna with ricecakes D/further S: remains to be seen but had 4 boxes of Quest bars arrive today so likely they feature!

Like you say, it depends on a lot of variables in terms of weight loss. In terms of actual appearance, I once heard a saying about it taking 6 weeks for you to notice differences in yourself and 12 weeks for others to see them. This is pretty much true to my experiences.

Fantastic achievement and I’d suggest it’s the guy that messaged you that ‘chats s**t’. They’re an estimate but if you’re using that same machine each time then that is very much demonstrating your tremendous progress. You should be able to report on progress without having to worry about any sort of negative or derogatory…

B: 500g carrots L: 200g spinach Chicken mulligatawny soup S: 450g cucumber Grenade Jaffa Quake protein bar Tuna salad D: will most likely be sandwiches Operating at quite a big deficit over the course of the week so may chuck in an extra couple of snacks and go over my calories for the day

I’m falling around the 40/30/30 mark too - which is pretty much what I want

I’m having issues too. Seems to have been a few problems the last few days. Maybe increased volume through resolutioners?

Breakfast: 2 scoops whey, 260g spinach Lunch: 100g spinach, spicy Jamaican jerk chicken soup Snacks: Jaffa quake Grenade protein bar (so so good), ricecakes and tuna feel like I could eat everything for dinner but think it’s just tiredness from a 5am start to get my workout in. Having a snooze and then deciding what’s for…

B: 260g spinach, 200g broccoli L: Beef and bean soup with 260g spinach S: 100g turkey ham, chicken and edamame pot D: will most likely be some sort of soup with a couple of pieces of bread Will likely have some kcal left over so may have a protein bar or tuna pouch or something

Lunch: Turkey Ham, spinach and plum tomatoes Snack: 2 hard boiled eggs, spinach romaine lettuce Dinner: kale, chicken skewers and coconut rice
