I have a disc prolapse. L4/5. My Sciatica was so bad that I couldn't walk, I was crawling on my hands and knees and I had to stop working. It was effecting my mental health and my kids could sense it. Surgery was the only option for me as the frequency I was getting it was alarming and also the length of time. I was told…

My starting weight was 10.7stone I am now 9st2. It took me about 3 months to get there.

I have porridge a lot as well but feel pretty hungry come lunch time!

I am eating 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. I get a good amount of fibre.

I drink a lot of water.so it can't be that.

My weight has been constant. Trying to recomp a the moment.i am eating 1.2grams protein per pound of body weight as well.

Getting plenty of fibre. I have been very stressed recently with my 12 year old autistic son. I never thought that could effect my increased appetite! Perhaps that is what it is! Thanks.

Been feeling hungry for about a month. Not sure if it is hormonal cycle as I have the implant so don't actually get a period!

Thanks everyone! Would love to get the Dexa scan but I live in the middle of know where!! Goodness knows where the nearest one is! I am definetely seeing more definiton in my arms when i tense them, there is a little muscle there! But only when I tense! Getting fed up with people telling me I am so skinny!!! I don't want…

It's just amazing being able to talk to someone that knows what they are doing! I have been constantly searching on the internet for answers but…

Thank you! I have been lacking energy, especially when doing my workouts! I am guessing that it might be because of the lower carbs that you mentioned! I will increase my carbs. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about recomp, so not too sure! When you were bulking/cutting did your body fat go up much? Dont really want…

Wowww! You look fab in your pic! Did you recomp? Do you think I should be eating less carbs?
