I got down to 8% body fat (dexa scan) my 'expensive' scales said I was 21% body fat still......they are far from accurate!!!

I have one and I'm the same as @CheekyRunner I used it as an excuse for not losing weight as I'd read it that it makes it hard.....really I was just cheating myself once I started being honest with myself and got food under control I'm back to normal again actually I'm better than normal, fat loss and muscle growth is…

Add me :smile:

I'm the same!! I alway mix a protein shake with a banana after weights, fills my tummy up till next meal time!

I drink too much alcohol during summer so I tend to put on weight.......nothing like a cold beer on a hot day lol

I'll have to mark this thread!!! I'm growing chia this year in my veggie patch looking forward watching them grow and flower, hope it produces lots of seed :smile:

I use frozen banana/berries makes it so thick you can eat it with a spoon lol

I do use a non stick spray for my pan but that's all....yes I love that I know the exact measurements of it as well! I never thought of a crust like that! May have to give it a try :smile: the options really are endless there is a beautiful very low fat feta that I use in them sometimes as well that's very yummy, my family…

Sodium is another thing that's stuffed us up! Both salt and sugar are aquired tastes they aren't something we are born wanting! Yes it takes a while but it does happen and all of a sudden things taste extra sweet or salty! Fruit is natures candy lol I'm to the point now that fruit settles a sweet craving (apart from…

My quiche is 7 egg whites, 3 whole eggs I mix that and pour into a 12 hole muffin tin.....then the fun part I add whatever I like shredded cooked chicken breast, tomato, mushroom, veggies. Anything that tickles your fancy!

Wow the 10% of the population that eats enough fruit and veggies is on this thread......just imagine the chances of that!!!!

I never said she eats too much veg I said that in one sitting if that is a normal meal size then her portion sizes are out.....or is that the only thing on the plate? I doubt it!! My referral to the other foods are cals in relation to portion size...which brings us back to logging fruit and veg! The weight, and cal…

I'm not trying to being rude here if it comes across that way but eating unhealthy processed foods (empty calories) has taught you you consume large quantities without feeling full.....this needs to be corrected to help you be successful in changing lifestyles permanently! Sorry @KateQuattro for taking over the post but…

This is where portion sizes come into play big time!!! And what is a normal portion size? And how you train your body to feel full on normal portion sizes! Being able to consume huge amounts of food and not feeling full is another big part of the puzzle that needs to be corrected!

@PeachyCarol are you sure you are logging and weighing properly?? I just used my electric scales to weigh 1 pound of cauliflower......there is no way I could eat that in one sitting!!!! 1 pound of cartots is 7 big cartots! If I ate those I wouldn't eat my dinner tonight!! I'd be full for the rest of the day on under…

What can't you believe?? The fact that people like me don't log veggies or fruit? Think about it for a moment......... •Fact 90% of people DONT eat enough fruit and veggies •Fact 90% of people don't reach minimum daily fibre intake •Fact fibre makes you feel full •People with diets low in fibre have trouble loosing weight…

I only use it when my protein intake from food is inadequate.....makes for a yummy quick smoothie on days when I'm just running out of time

I don't count veggies at all (starchy roots i.e. Potato, sweet potato are not classified as vegetables by world health organization) I do count starchy roots. Fruit i only count avacado and bananas! I have had great success doing things this way!! I also think it's a great way of teaching you to make full time lifestyle…

I trust my knowledge not my belly lol I can eat till the cows come home and I never feel full.....but I rarely feel hungry either haha but I have been doing this long enough to know how much a portion is and a rough idea of calorie content....I also eat lots of wholesome foods and know that an apple is better than a…

This is the attitude!!!

No it's the mind set behind it.....I cut split 2 tonne of wood then stacked it....yes it's exercise yes it's hard work but it's a necessity, you can't think of it as a reason to eat more, or not to exercise. It's a part of life she owns 6 dogs they will need bathing from time to time as we have a wood fire so we need to go…

Omg you work 10-11 hrs 6 days a week and you have 7 kids???? Your not a failure your wonder woman!!!! Just concentrate on the easy stuff that doesn't require you to find time (nutrition) maybe start slow with the exercise I do a sworkit (it's an app) 7-10min cardio workout each day!! (And weights but just start slow) Start…

That's what I call incidental exercise you don't log it! It's like if you go to visit a friend and there unit block doesn't have a lift and you have to walk up the stairs you don't log that, or if you have a tummy ache and need to run to the toilet 10 times you don't log the extra toilet runs lol

I keep changing goals as well and before I hit one I create another to aim for.....so atm it was bikini for beginning of summer....that's only a week away but I have a Christmas party on 23rd December so my next goal is set for a skirt I want to wear at that...my goals are always only about 2 months at the most long so I…

Gluten free weetbix with almond milk and banana and 3 healthy quiche and 2 coffees with lactose free milk.....well that's what I just had anyway

I never use it!! It's a stupid guess from MFP not much fact goes into the equation

Now all the motivation I need is my butt and a new bikini for summer (which is only a week away)

Hahaha I used to do this!!!

This is a joke right??
