I would love to find some new people to fill my news feed with! I'm 34, from the UK with a fairly new account (ditched the old one for a fresh start) and so not many 'friends'. 21lb down so far with quite a lot left to go!

Based on your method, I should aim for 170g of protein a day. It feels like quite a lot but it's something that I could try and work up to, although I'm not sure I'd get quite that high as that's around 35-40% of my calorie intake. I've set it at 30% for now, which is 143g which is still going to take a bit of planning and…

I was wondering about getting some unflavoured whey, I bought vanilla yesterday as they only had that, strawberry and chocolate but I may look online for some unflavoured I think and then use it in things as realistically, I think I'll need it as an extra bump to reach my protein for the day. Was kefir easy to make? I use…

I didn't realise that quinoa was a good source of protein so that's a good shout. Thank you.

I do eat eggs (veggie rather than vegan so I'm good with eggs) and have had some boiled up in the fridge before so might do that again today, thanks.

Oh that's really helpful, thank you. I'd got as far as deciding to give it a go but not what to actually do with it!

It does seem excessive doesn't it? That link says 156g, which is more reasonable but still a bit too much realistically for me I think. Although 30% without exercise calories is 143g so maybe I should be aiming for about that but considering I'm averaging about 50g at the moment, it's going to take a bit of work! I do see…

Oh that's a really helpful link, thank you. It's finding those foods that are a good balance of calories and protein and that's really helpful for that so thank you again.

I don't eat fish much but a little, eggs I do. I need to get some more to boil up and keep in the fridge, that worked well. I tried making my own protein bars from a recipe but they weren't that high protein really! I have some pre-bought ones though which help a little.

Hi to both of you - I've accepted you both! I don't use my newsfeed as much as I could or should, that's something I want to change to help inspire me a bit more and hopefully encourage others too. Looking forward to sharing your journeys!

You're not fat, they're severely underweight.

Exercise isn’t really about weight loss, it won’t ever contribute that much. It’s about health and fitness. So yes, you can lose weight without exercise.
