7min of plyometrics 5 days a week that's it! My weight sessions are fully timed though so I get a good workout each time (3days a week).....but I'm a very active woman I live on property so I'm always doing something

I'd personally up the protein to about 190gm, buts that's if it was me :smile: I'm 5'7 65kg and 37 years old......2100 is maintenance cals for me!

Summer has arrived early

I eat chocolate every day.....couldn't live without it!!! But it fits so I still get the results!! I also don't believe in good or bad food....its just food!

Gluten free for 7 years now it's not even an issue now....lunch for me is lean meat and salad most days

You have lost weight due to extremely low calories nothing to do with gluten or sugar.....good chance you are also losing a lot of muscle (not good) which means your metabolism is also slowing down (not good) your not hungry because your body is slowing down due to lack of calories...have you ever been sick and not able to…

I have noticed big changes in body composition with changing macros but leaving daily calorie intake the same....not so much with protein intake alone! I think it's a matter of finding what suits your body type.....I respond best with macros P 35 C 40 F 25 but everybody is different

Bahahahaha!!!! Love this!!......beware the dark broside

Sorry we need to get this thread controversial again.........

I live in the bush my gym is in our shed, no commercial gym just a rack with Olympic bar and plates.....nothing fancy is needed! I eat well between 1500-1900 cals a day and more on the weekends (I don't track on weekends) I also enjoy a beer or 3 (I am an Aussie after all lol) it's all about finding that happy medium....if…

I work harder and smarter not longer lol and I do work hard though my weight sessions are 100% timed, I use a gym timer so every rep is 4 seconds each and every rest between sets is 30sec......

I do 3 heavy weight sessions a week for 30min and I do 5 x plyometrics cardio sessions for 7-10min a week that's it!

Ummmmmmm yeah ummmmmm nope!!! My little choc habit stops me from binge eating....my diet includes all food!! Lots and lots of good food with a little naughty snack of a night time lol

Haha I save enough cals everyday to have a row of chocolate every night when I get in bed.....true story lol

Is this a trick question???

I just took down my bikini pic.....

Taken this morning

I second or third the plates under the bench! I know a young man that's lucky to be alive after failing on a bench press and crushing his esophagus

Ask yourself this....Would I be more disappointed if I ran and gave it my all and didn't finish or more disappointed if I didn't give it a go at all?? Lots of your fellow competitors will be having the same doubts!! But giving it a go means you have already beaten everyone still sitting on the couch!!! I say GO FOR IT RUN…

My profile pic is lifting really heavy weights deadlift 134kg, bench 70kg and leg press 210kg.....99% of girls won't get bulky lifting heavy, diet got me lean not cardio! So lift with the boys I say!!

Get on the weights :smile: get a professional to write you a full body weights program that's no longer than 20min you can do it 1-2 times a week in the morning then do your cardio in the afternoon :blush: I don't recommend 2 hard sessions in any day but I lift in the mornings and then walk 3km in arvos (walk dogs to kids…

Yes I did read that in one of the articles I was reading!! I used to take magnesium for my muscle cramps.

Dam you...now I want chocolate lol my choc protein just won't be enough!!

All the reading I've done have come up with a couple of reasons but why can't the same effect be gotten by some cocoa added to a protein sha I think this guy is onto something his reply to the article...I've been wondering about this myself: 2) @chivebasil - Good points. I heard a speaker on the radio the other day who was…

Mmmmm yeah nah lol I don't want to take this thread under the table so I'll shut my mouth now haha

I like dark chocolate as well.....but it's the milk chocolate that gets me! Mmmmmm yummy

EAT MORE CHOCOLATE

We don't get portobello mushrooms out here :neutral: I'm going to grow some though :smile:

I live in a tiny rural town and our woolies only has a small selection. Lots of things we have to get monthly when I head into the big smoke lol

Some of those wraps have more carbs and twice the fat of regular bread though, I trying to find that healthier alternative without lose of taste
