Thank you everybody. I think I will go to a running shop and see what they say and if they have anything they believe will help me.

You look lovely, I can really see the difference especially in your waist.

You look amazing, beautiful shape. Well done x

I weight the foods I need to but I eat fairly simple (fish,chicken,eggs,veg). I don't know how many calories I burn as I noticed the HRM wasn't consistent with CF as it is not one continuous workout, I would guess 300-500.

Thanks Arguablysamso, my problem with that is the low calories.. I can't seem to stick to it without feeling hungry or weak. Don't get me wrong I am not looking for the fastest way to lose weight but I want a good balance, I want to look and feel great.

Well I haven't lost a lb in the last 4 weeks, before that it was .5 per week roughly. I eat well, I generally take around 1600-1800 cals a day, 40%C 30%P 30%F. I understand that diet is most important what I am asking about is the workout side of things, I am very much interested in sculpting my body and I enjoy training.…

I take one rest day, not so much for the physical but for the mental side of things.

5 or 6, crossfit and short runs.

Clean it, chop it up (not too small but easier to eat), steam it for 5 mins and then throw it in a pan with bacon, garlic, butter and some salt and pepper.

Thank you for sharing, congratulations and well done x

Breakfast - Pork and apple sausages with Genius seeded bread, 2 egg and beans. Lunch, Salmon with beans and beetroot salad. Dinners - (these are not every day dinners, we usually eat big on Sundays) Beef Roast, duck fat potatoes, yorkshire pudding and veggies. Chicken legs and thigh, sweet potato slices, macaroni cheese,…

Chicken Satay, fish cakes..

Soups, stir fry's with veg and meat, all seafoods, vegetable melodies etc.. I would allow myself a small portion of rice and just fill up on the rest.

Lol, of course. However, this is different being that it is almost like clock work on a daily basis.

Bacon, broccoli, spinach, red pepper, jalapeño and some cheese. (add in garlic and a little mustard for seasoning)

I also portion nuts in bags (ready to grab and already weighted for easy logging), I clean then dry all fruit and put into tubs for ready to go grabbing. Being prepared is half the battle.

I too make soup, its so easy to store (I use bags) and just take it out the freezer the night before. You can cook meat/veg/sweet potato store it, take out what you need the night before. I generally chop up onions, peppers, beets etc. ready to throw on top of salad leaves, they will last in a sealed tub for a few days.

Also (and sorry for all the questions), do you think it would be affecting me if I am short of 200cal per day? I tend to eat quite well (lots of greens and lean meats) so its sometimes hard to make up those extra calories without eating a huge meal, and of course I don't want to eat something high in stats 'just because'.

Thank you so much ^^ My logging hasn't been consistent (busy few months) but most days are like today or yesterday, I think I do need to eat a little more and wait for things to even out. Do you think I could possibly need more carbs or will the protein and fat be enough to get me through?

Bumping, does anyone else eat oats for breakfast and still have good results?

Thank you for that, I am not coeliac but I do have minor reactions. I don't have to be 100% however I chose to try and avoid it as and when I can.

Hang in there, I am in the same boat. To me a clean diet is nothing processed, what does an average day look like for you?

Thank you for the replies people, just to confirm I would be using (gluten free) rolled oats to make my own porridge.

Thanks guys, Im trying to stay off too much caffeine. I drink around 3lt of water per day. Maybe I will get used to it, this is only my second week.

Well done, and great bum :)

Egg, Chicken, Clementines and Soya Milk.

I hate to say but I must agree with Guinivere and only because I have tried every single fad diet going. Its hard to accept but the only way to do it is to work hard and eat clean, change your lifestyle. Its a great community here, whatever you choose to do I wish you good luck :)

Your little girl looks absolutely just like you, she got that wonderful smile. Well done to you and good luck in the future.

'Risk of injury' We risk injury every time we walk out the door, every time we get out of the bath tub, runners risk injury just as much as crossfitters. I hate the excuses people use.
