Hey everyone, sounds like everyone is doing well. This group is definitely helping me to keep going, well done OP bringing us all together. Today is the second day on my macro split of 40:30:30 cfp. It ended up working out to be pretty much 1/3 of each but that's OK. I think this is going to be a game changer. Do you know…

What i find inspirational is people who struggle to create a calorie deficit think that they can get there body into ketosis...

It is actually quite hard for your body to get into ketosis. What is probably happening is that the lower amount of carbs is creating a calorie deficit which is creating a weightloss... and a water loss too.

Hi Everyone, Love how our group is growing :smile: Can I ask for a sense check on what I am thinking? So I have been counting for nearly two weeks now and although on most days I eat within my calories, on some I have gone over. I think the reason for this is that I have no actual strategy at the moment and where i want to…

@quiksylver296 Thanks - I guess that is what I am trying to do really. My nutrition is shocking at the moment. I want to start working towards a diet that supports fat loss, muscle preservation, illhealth prevention etc.

Started just getting into the habit of tracking - lost 10lb but now I am looking at implementing a more thought out strategy.

Haha, yeah probably a stupid question really.

Amazing

OK so your maintenance is 1654 cals then? If not, How are you supposed to lose weight AND gain muscle? Surely both are different processes and therefore require different calorie amounts?

@kiay131982 I will open mine now for you. Also - totally smashed my protein goal today of 100g boom @kiay131982 if you do look at my diary ignore the pizza, it's not pizza, it's actually salad...honest ;) :| :#

I will, how do I do it?

How are you supposed to lose 2lb of weight but build muscle?

@kiay131982 well done on starting running again. I thought I wanted to run but I'm quite happy with building up my mileage for walking. Do you follow a training program? @Astrid_Vervoort those are good goals. How do you find If? Does it help? I have decided that I am changing my weigh in to a Monday because it aligns it…

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all having an enjoyable Easter and hopefully have some chocolate! I have a massive reeces Pieces Easter egg that I am allocating 1/3 of calories to today.. Very excited for that! Day 10 for me and seeing more scale movement which is pleasing. This is working and on the whole seems to be something…

So my first weigh in for week 1 and I have lost 7.25lb... slight stunned at that! I have been eating around1460 calories a day and walking 4 miles. I obviously don't want to lose it that quickly but I need to have a starting position and then work out calories as I go. I am going to do another week as I am and then up the…

Those damn cookies!! What do you do as a job? I wish i could run 4 miles. I have been walking 4 miles and that is a struggle lol. Trying to get my mileage up but i think we are about to enter a non-excersize outside ban because of w@nk3rs who can't follow simple and fair rules.

Hey, sorry it has taken so long for one of us to respond! I think we span the globe so depends who is up! It is hard to say without knowing more information really? even then we can only spout the usual stuff? Have you calculated the correct calories and macros that would generate a loss? Are you consistently sticking to…

Are you sure you are tracking your calories correctly? You said approximately?

Thank you!

What would be you advice to someone who wanted to get into calisthenics?

@Astrid_Vervoort Haha! That is the best reason to go walking I have ever heard. Sounds like you partner is a lot like my wife. I guess whatever keeps you motivated. Well done for losing 9kg! I usually suck at recording my food but I am on day 6 and it is going well actually. Good luck and keep us all posted with what you…

Well done on your workout and your walk. Do you follow a meal plan with beach body? I went for a five mile walk this evening and now i feel my feet are going to fall off!

Nice. :smiley: Well done.

Hello @jvando74 PLEASE DONT EAT THE M&M'S!! Joking obviously. How did you get on? Even if you did eat them that is ok. You just need to think of some strategies with the nighttime snacks. I used to fight against it but i find it easier to realise that I will probably want something so I plan for it. You could get some…

Ah well done on you! Yeah my nieces and nephews are on easter holidays now and my sister is struggling to fit things in! It must be doubly hard but sounds like you are doing well. :)

.

Well done. What were your strategies?

Hello everyone, Such a great idea and yes definitely will add my goals. I guess this is the time it needs to stick which is all on me. I have pulled out every accountability procedure I can think of but the biggest thing is nurturing that change in mindset, which is particularly fragile right now. I have set a massive goal…

I will add you both 😊

Me too... Just signed up to do a healthywage bet to lose 45lb by April 2021.
