I think it is really important to listen to your body. I have lost 27 pounds since feb, and have managed that with days of over eating, loads of drinking at certain social events over that time, pizzas, buffets, motivational losses where i have literally turned up at the gym in my kit and decided that I am too tired to go…

For me, its about BF%, I am now around about 20%, so a little lower would be ideal, but I am training to become a fitness instructor so the leaner I can be the better for me. At this point, its less about the number on the scale and more about fitness goals from here. Also, to note, gone from DD to C cup in my journey, so…

5 ft 6 SW 149 CW 122 GW 117-123ish, bit of flexibility on that coming up to Christmas <3

Two egg and two rashurs of bacon scrambled egg with spinach, red onion and plum tomatoes, fried with fry light coconut oil. Deeeeelicious.

Speak for yourself! Get me some of that KFC in my belly!!! :blush:

Sorry I mean lifestyle as in career sense- I spend most of my day sat down in an office as opposed to out and about on my feet so all my exercise is in the evenings and on weekends!

Thank you this is really helpful! My BF% is about 20% at the moment but without calipers I don't know for sure, just going on my scales % although I have heard this is inaccurate. If you don't mind me asking is your lifestyle fairly sedentary? I feel like the focus on macros will also be more beneficial for me in order to…

Thanks both - good to get input from people in the know. When you look online it is all pro protein shakes and tells you that it assists in the fat burning process.. You never really know what to believe as different places tell you different things!

Thats the plan - sorry I wasn't very clear in my initial post, not looking to lose more weight, recomp is what I want to do, just wanted to know if protein shakes were a good way of assisting that along...

You do see a lot of them about - then you wonder if you are doing something wrong by not having one yourself!!!

Thank you - I have been given a lot of information from the fellas at work about protein shakes so its nice to have a straight answer!

I would just make sure if you are planning on going down the paleo route that you consume enough protein in order to accomodate that lack of carb intake. I was finding that the weight was dropping off when I first started paleo and couldn't get to the gym, but as I started integrating exercise I felt weak and lacking…

I have spoken with an online coach (my friend swears by them but I am still a bit on the fence due to cost!) and I have a similar problem - I am 133lbs 5 ft 6 and want to lose maybe another 5 lbs or so, not too much more, nothing drastic. But I am fairly toned as it is all over, aside from the lower stomach which is where…

Compliment her hair colour. Ginger is the right choice ;)

has a twin brother called Jose who were separated at birth. Tragic...

I have two! Planning on my third :)

1, maybe 2?

Already at work, first one in the office, criminal.

25 isn't very young?!?!

Aw :) long enough for it to be a decent hug without it being completely weird, but she's very pretty.

Packin' pecks

There are toooooo many!

Yes - especially if you can stay awake like you have!! We can do look out shifts!

Thats a nightmare that you haven't been to sleep :( you need some serious R&R!! Although your breakfast sounds delicious!

Yeah for sure!

If I could have anything at this moment it would be a huge portion of mac and cheese, with a whole day free to sit in the sun and drink wine, and not put a pound of it on!!! One can dream!

I'd love a hot day today, it feels like british summer time hasn't happened yet!! 4:30am?! Bright and breezy!! Whats for breakfast?? I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg this morning :)

9am on a Wednesday morning and all I have to drink at work is fruit tea... The draw of a G&T is strong!! BUT from what I can see outside the office the sun is shining and its a beautiful day, so there is a silver lining! Hope everyone has an awesome day! :)

Eyes :)

Awesome fellow redhead with lovely smile. Respect!!
