And 140 cals isnt much so dont feel bad you should be able to work it into your day?

my housemate does it a lot. he's the kinda person who can buy a bar of chocolate and eat it over a week or forget its even there. He randomly will bring me home like a cinema sized bag of m&ms cos he has stuff like that where he works. And I dont want to be rude. I tried explaining I havent got the self control he has and…

Cool just asking :) My guess now is Isle of Man? My mother is from there it's a lovely place. Anyway I know I could be wrong again I'm no authority on nearby islands!

Any chance its Ireland? :D

I love visiting other countries but Ireland is home and its the best for me :) .....But I guess the south of france would be a welcome change in weather!!

You look beautiful in your pics. I have the opposite problem. Massive arms, big boobs and a belly. But no *kitten* or thighs. Even after losing about 30lbs its like its all from the waist down! Arms and tummy like yours are like a dream to me :)

Only in moderation.

I recently heard similar from a friend of mine about how agave is basically fructose. I hadn't been using it as I dont really like the taste but it doesnt seem too healthy as a sugar alternative from what I read up on it :/

You look fantastic. I am the same height as you and started off around 145lbs. Im currently 119lbs but I am proper jealous of you, you look way better at 125lbs than I do now haha Im actually reevaluating my goal (aiming for 112 now) because I have such a small frame I feel Ill be more comfortable around there. Im all top…

YAAAAY! I would have been a wreck for those two months if my little Paul had ran away! :p So happy your cats home. Wouldnt you love to attach a camera to them sometimes and see what they get upto....

I try to make a small deficit on the weekdays so that my weekly deficit is still on track when I go over at the weekends :)

Hmm.. so I just read a topic on this forum called 'Eggs, The Truth' or something, and in that one the claim was eating eggs daily reduced the risk of cancer. Then this topic says eating eggs more than once a week increases the risk of cancer...

I got mine tested with the breathing test. I was 10cals below my average so yeah the estimate was accurate

woah!!! :D

Could be a T.O.M fluctuation? That can throw things way outta whack!

When my friend started barefoot running she had that complaint until the shape of her feet changed over time. I havent heard of a kettlebell class before where its required to be barefoot. Maybe you have a weak heel and need the support of a shoe during excercise? Can you not ask the trainer if you can try it with shoes…

Seriously it's fine to eat a bit later, especially if your body is telling you thats what it wants. If its really a problem for you maybe get your bloods checked to see if its some kind of allergy or intolerance causing it. Also if you look up on the boards or online about breakfast and metabolism, there are no facts…

Are you fine then to eat a bit later? Your body clearly isn't impressed by breakfasts! There isn't any harm in waiting until 10am or 11am to eat though if that suits you better?

I used to always be the same way in school. One of the reasons I think was that I was eating quite late the nights before. When you get up for breakfast you're breaking a fast so if it hasnt really been a fast maybe youre just not hungry. I actually much prefer now to not eat after around 8,30 or 9pm and that way Im hungry…

I made cheesecake brownies for my nieces party the other day and I had a big piece and the headache I had was unbelieveable. I think its because I dont eat sugar anymore except for some fruit. When I was making the brownies I was like... this recipe must be wrong how can there be so much sugar in these!!!

You look beautiful! Hope youre proud :)

An almond stuffed inside a date mmm. And homemade pizza muffins (http://www.alidaskitchen.com/2011/07/garden-pizza-puffs.html) :D

20lbs in 5months and 40? Congrats! I've only managed 11 since january and I'm 24 :D I'm happy to have lost that much but well done you!

If you're only eating 1300 and burning off 400-900 then youre barely giving your body any calories to work with. You should search for ''BMR and TDEE' and 'eat more to weigh less' on the forums theres lots of good advice on finding the right amount of cals you personally need. Good luck :)

Oh god yes. 185grams? Yeah try that over the course of 30 minutes.. which I did last night :/ woke up feeling nauseous! Oh well, dust myself off and try again!

I had all the stuff so I made them. Delicious thanks for the recipe :) Im having one crumbled over frozen yogurt and raspberries for dessert! Oh i also added almond butter cos I didnt have enough peanut butter, really worked nicely

Sorry but how much is a scoop of protein? I have one brand that is a 24g scoop and another thats a 35g one!

Yay well done i bet youre proud, didnt even take too long :)

Hell yeah! I would go crazy without my wine or guinness! Like another poster said, maybe sacrifice something else like biscuits or chocolate if you find it hard to fit it into your calories. I would recommend though that on days you drink alcohol to drink extra water or you might retain for a while after. Happy drinking :D

Thanks everyone for the replies, time to kick some heavy weight *kitten* :p
