as someone technically in the Royal Navy reserves, this thread scares me :frown:

I thought the micro tears in your muscles are what causes your body to form muscle to get stronger?

I did about 50 push ups yesterday for fun and today my arms are sore as heck LOL I'm building up to eventually one day do handstand push ups.. one can dream :sad: :laugh:

for some reason I really really want to try anchovies, despite never having eaten them in my entire life..

this, my "treat" is looking and feeling better in myself

weigh something on it you know the weight of e.g. a kilo bag of sugar, find out where it is accurate, always weigh yourself there

I'm 5'3.5 :laugh: currently weight 134lbs, I want to tighten up and my end goal weight should be about 110 as one of my friends is around that and she looks fab

CW: 134, 5'3, 10 on top 10-12 on bottom. hoping to be a straight 10 one day!

I cannot eyeball measurements to save my life so I use my food scales, if they say anything then I'll just explain that I like to keep track of everything.

a few days ago I went to Yo! sushi, which is my ultimate weakness, and I ate what I thought was a lot but ended up only being 900 calories, which in the long term isn't a lot ! and it was basically my only meal that day apart from a fricking sandwich, and it was a date, and i was happy and -insert excuse here-! I'm happy…

bran flakes have a lot of fibre, just change MFP's limits if they bother you

very well done :bigsmile:

Stop having cheat days, log your food as you eat it and instead have cheat meals - one meal every weekend where you can have whatever you like.

Peanut butter rocky road squares sound amazing ;o I'm feeling not very well today so most of my food has sadly been sandwiches, hoping to go out for some sushi tomorrow so I'm quite excited, I love sushi :love:

You say you used to overeat compulsively; it could be possible that your stomach is anticipating more food as it has grown to compensate for your formerly large portions. If so, your stomach should shrink back to normal soon.

You have such a lovely smile, I'm happy that you're happier with yourself now :drinker:

Absolutely this, you've already seen improvements without looking at the scale

I'm not understanding how these would taste like breadsticks..

have you tried black beans? or tofu.

eggs, tea, rice, spring onions, red peppers

Nuts, wholegrains, milk.

This is the place to talk about these things! Where I'm based for my uni project only has junk food machines so I always bring sandwiches and an apple - you could try that? Keep things simple, as FixingMe13 said even ten minutes a day is something!

Woohoo, go you! I love C25K! :drinker:

I always always always want to eat loads in the evening, no matter how much I've eaten in the day. What I find help is keeping busy so I don't think about it; brushing my teeth soon after dinner as this makes me feel like it's time to stop eating; and drinking lots of hot drinks (normally tea) to keep me full for the…

In your defence, Waterworld is an absolutely amazing film, and Domino's chicken kickers are spectacular:bigsmile: . I also have loads of those vouchers; thankfully I'm a student with a lot of stoner friends so I've managed to hold the temptation off for now! I haven't binged in a while, I guess the last time was before I…

Awh I feel so short compared to you guys :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I'm 5'3, 140lbs currently, hoping to get it down to 115lbs eventually. I find that if I work out then I dont want to eat as much any more because I'm almost scared of ruining my good work.

I love spinach! Maybe make cheese and spinach ravioli? I love it on pizza or in the sauce.

5'3, aim is 115, 140 currently :drinker:
