Thanks Leo, I think I will have to keep this in mind, I did think about trying a nice big steak tomorrow!

Thanks to everyone for all your replies, it has been very eye opening!

^this sounds AWESOME! thank you :happy:

I have just figured this one out hence the eating overhaul :)

I like this, somethings to think about there!

The problem is that I have spent a lot of years perfecting the art of eating crap and I always felt deprived when on a diet only eating low fat food. Then recently I read somewhere someone said 'If you quit smoking would you feel deprived if you could never have a cigarette again? Even when you are doing something for…

Are they? I have no idea about that...I am very newb at nutrition. At the moment I am just looking for healthy carb, fat and protein stuff to reach my calorie goal...I have another 860 calories to fit in today and they are supposed to be 90/27/70 carbs/fat/protein remaining. I think the problem is I don't really know how…

I have just set my macros to 40/30/30 and am trying to sort out a few days worth of food now hence the question. I thought I might have to resort to protein shakes. I did not really think about full fat cheese, peanut butter or nuts or avacados to be honest. Those things have been off my radar for a while now.

OMG....I can eat peanut butter again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant! That has just made my day!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are amazing!!

Ha ha! dat a fact!

ok....maybe in your world but in my world men like boobs and *kitten* when they are drunk in a bar but at home they like someone who will clean their underpants and cook their dinners and never ask them to scrub the toilet and lets not forget the all important...allow them to OWN THE REMOTE CONTROL! (not that any of this…

Hi op, I am not an expert about sugar but thought I would share what has been working for me for the last couple of weeks. I have had problems with fatigue for some time and so I adjusted my macros to 40% protein 30%carb and 30% fat. Then I try to front load my day with carbs and make supper more of a protein moment with…

Hiya, I just did my measurements and came to the same depressing conclusion! However you cannot spot reduce fat you can only work on building muscle in specific areas but it is purely up to your body to take the fat from wherever it wants....sadly my feet are actually a whole size smaller than they were when I started but…

Bump :)

Hiya, I have lost 24 so far but I am looking to lose another 100lbs, feel free to add me :)

Thank you, that has been really helpful :)

Ya know, this sprints thing has come up a couple of times now and my trainer does get me doing sprints and then lifting weights or carrying weights and moving them or throwing them while sprinting....could have something there too.

Wow, Sarah, your trainer sounds like a diamond!

I have a sneaky feeling that I will always feel a little sick when I work hard but I am hoping going on a fairly empty stomach helps. I also drink a lot of water during my workouts but I feel like that may be contributing to the nausea? I'm not sure, will have to try a few different things to see what works and I have…

Thank you everyone for all your great advice. I think up until now I have been having lunch and then a short while after going to the gym. I might switch to a shake before hand and go a little earlier in the day and have lunch after. I have never even heard of breathing properly during workouts! I think I will also stick…

Have you tried walking without the insoles? I know if you go to a running store they can give some pretty expert advice on shoes and on your feet and insteps. I would probably give that a go before you end up giving yourself an injury. Hope this helps :)

If I had a life 'do over' I would choose to be a nun.

Reminds me a little of Betty Boop, big eyes!

You look FABULOUS! You are an inspiration, it is difficult enough to change your life for the better and become healthy but you have managed to do it while struggling with other difficulties, good for you girl :)

Oh right, I have no idea what my lean body mass is! Sounds like a shopping trip for a good bathroom scale :happy: thanks for the help ladies

Oh right, I thought we were supposed to base our protein intake closer to what our goal weight was?

Thanks Jo :smile:

I must admit, that is exactly how I am feeling, like I am failing myself and I am worried that I will give up again. I really want this to be a life change for me and to make good healthy choices for myself and my family now but I am not quite convinced that I can stay committed to healthy living even though I want…
