Bump! I'd love some personal recipes people have, not just some internet ones :)

Regular yogurt's okay but because I add whey or use greek in cooking the flavour's not much of an issue to me. It's more for nutritional benefits - protein being the macro I pay most attention to

Ahhhhh I see! So ideally I should spend the extra monies and buy some Total Fage Greek Yogurt? I can't find the ingredients of my Asda brand online (which is significantly cheaper) but I'd put money on it being loaded with stuff. Then again I wouldn't know what half the ingredients are anyway..

I mix in a scoop of whey protein powder. It's like pudding ^_^

I'm lucky enough that my gym is opposite my work building, so when 5 rolls around I roll out my chair and into the gym :) It's stupidly ideal. And it's a better gym than the one I used before I started here!

Bump, anyone? This will probably apply for me nexr week too

BUMP

It won't let me see the pics on this computer so bumping for later :)

bump I like to mix around with protein pancake recipes. The right balance is so hard to get

I like to have some cottage cheese and protein powder or some almonds to go with an unsweetened hot cocoa :) Helps me relax

I'm ALMOST there! Still using the assisted pull up and have to add on 10kg but I started with 40kg so I should be able to manage just one soon I hope

bump for later ^^

BUMP! I'm also dying to try it but can't find anywhere so far that do!! Apparently waitrose USED to but I've never even found them on the market :(

The Eat Water range is Europe's answer to shiritaki noodles. To me they taste exactly the same as each other so just go with whichever is cheaper haha I would suggest not boiling in water but dry frying them and then adding your sauce. They get a slightly less watery rubbery feel then. I'm not put off by texture so for me…

I would also recommend The Protein Works! They're absolutely brilliant. Try the Natural Whey 80 if you want a cleaner one but their Whey Isolates are the best! I recently gave BulkPowders a go because I was slightly lower on cash than normal but I'm not half as satisfied :( Again, like everyone else if you want a referral…

Omg yes! The callouses! Bruises between my thumb and index finger too from the assisted pull up. My shins are a total mess too. AND I'm always trapping my fingers when I rereack the dumbbells.

It's worth a go! Thanks guys :D

Clearly don't know what Bolognase sauce actually is O_o

Not extremely low, not at all. But I was significantly lower than now. I don't have big carbs every day but I have them a lot more often now. Does water weight make you all squishy? All just bloated?

Young_Gravy I can always count on you ^_^ So what will cardio after weights do instead?

There's a guy at my gym that always looks at me. Not in a pervy way or competitive way or even a "gross, look at her", just....keeps looking at me! I call him long sleeved John. He's maybe mid 40s and ALWAYS wears a long sleeved white top. There's also a guy that kind of looks like a Hitler. But for some reason he's not…

Anyone?

This. I'm struggling to have sympathy for you when you don't seem that determined to help yourself in a lot of ways. A lot of things you say seems contradictory to me but perhaps I just don't understand because I can't relate. Don't mean to have a go or anything in the slightest. There are loads of excellent suggestions…

I tend to use a bit of houmous or cottage cheese as a sort of dressing when I make salads to take to work :) I just dump it on and mix everything with it so it sticks :)

Wow so many of you are from up north or down south! I'm from the Midlands :)

I am constantly shivering. My nails often have a blueish-grey tint in the morning and once I fall really cold I will spend hours trying to warm up but it makes my muscles really tense! It's horrible!

I don't plan in advance for them unless there's an event coming up? Eg I have a bbq on the 6th July which I'm planning as a sort of cheat day so as to include alcohol and a couple of indulgences like a slice of cake maybe. But I can usually go without them. If I have no reason to have a cheat day I won't have one. After…

Thanks for this information but I don't have a ridge at all and I don't match the other symptoms. Again, thank you :) Thanks for the advice! I'll see if the docs are willing to put me through for a blood test :)

I personally don't get on with Instagram, but let me know if you ever get wordpress :)

Have you tried drinking plenty before and during your meal? It'll help you fill up a little more and feel less deprived. Just pop on your plate your usual serving and let it pile there precariously. Really does look like a monster of a meal even though it's just the same as normal! Works especially well with…
