Can't see the before pic but you are GORGEOUS with a capital G :love:

Unless you are absolutely gorgeous facially with flawless skin and good bone structure, you will look better with makeup. I'm not a fan of the caked on, thick black eyes look, unless for a night out, but some concealer, blusher, mascara, and a little gloss make any girl look better :love: In regards to the looks, attention…

Cheers hun. This was posted yesterday when i was under on protein. I had rice today as was eating with the other half and he doesn't like quinoa (which i normally would eat) :) As i posted a few responses up, i'm OVER on protein today LOL. Re the omelette - gosh i never even noticed!!!!! Teach me to simply add stuff from…

Judging by what I am learning as i go along on here, i have never in my life eaten enough protein!! What are the long term effects of eating too much or too little?

Oh god now I'm OVER!! Lol can't win. Had omelette for brekkie, home made _semi skimmed milk with dried milk powder) protein shake as a snack, then veggie chilli con carne.

Mmm this sounds yum! Off to buy some greek yoghurt now :love:

I just bought a big bag of supermarket's own skimmed dried milk powder. Just add it to milk with a banana or oats, or whatever you want in there... easy home made protein shake :bigsmile:

Yep i usually have porridge, sometimes with a banana and/ or ground flax, and semi-skimmed milk. Love oats! I ate quinoa with dinner today already lol Will definitely try adding the milk powder to coffee and other drinks for a bit extra. Although I mainly need to get leaner, i do want to drop some weight as well, or…

I don't eat meat. In regards to lifting/ exercise, when i began, i was working out 90+ mins 5/ 6 times a week including strength training/ weights, but recently i've only been doing this say 3 x per week so i guess i should lower the protein requirement. It's so hard to know what levels are right :/ I've been compiling a…

Really? How do you find out how much you need?

I've had a protein shake already! Along with chickpeas, peanut butter, houmous, milk, veg, and tofu...

Babybel, how clever!!! will def get some of those :love: And what is tempeh?

Bump please x

a really simple way is to sprinkle ground flaxseed/ linseed on your breakfast cereal, mix it in with your shakes, sprinkle onto salads etc. That stuff is seriously high calorie but good for you as well as high protein :flowerforyou:

If it helps, i totally fell off the wagon today too - i ate an entire bag of revels despite already being over on my cals for the day!!! Some suggestions i got from others were to eat less carbs and more protein which should help to stave off cravings for more food and sweet things. I also learned it's harder to resist…

Thank you for the feedback :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the replies to my questions... didn't mean to derail the post lol, sorry OP :flowerforyou: I will try all the suggestions. PS I love cottage cheese anyway x

Thanks a lot, it does help :) I don't eat meat however, and little fish

You know what, i would LOVE to do this... however i cannot seem to find foods low in carbs and high in protein unless i spend the earth on veg, fruit, diet type food etc, which i just cannot sustain. My first month was all rice cakes, fresh fruit and veg etc and it just becomes impossibly expensive and time consuming plus…

This is interesting, however my bmr is 1384, now times lightly active = 1904.375. So If I want to lose 1lb a week, i should eat 1404 calories, or for 2lb a week, 904 calories. I currently eat 1,200 - 1,400 per day plus most of my exercise cals and have not lost any weight at all in over a month (aiming for 1/2 - 1lb per…

Any idea on the calories she burns during her classes?

LOVE this :flowerforyou: So nice to see sense for a change. I too am already in my "healthy range" at 130lb and 5"6, but i am not happy there at all! I'm aiming for 120 and haven't lost anything on over a month. I've been so discouraged i've actually blown it completely a few days these last couple of weeks. I really don't…

Yes there are weights and different stretching/ strength movements i believe. I heard it is like body pump if anyone does that?

Bump, please :)

Even if you remove your pic they stay available on google for days, sometimes years, depending if the pic is completely gone from the site's cache or not and when google updates. NEVER post a pic of your face anywhere on the net unless you're happy for it to one day show up on google! Aside from the immediate implications,…
