I go squishy before I have a decent drop in weight eg 1.5 kilos (or 3 pounds in a week)

I have been 65 kilos with 22% body fat but when I weighed a month ago I was 70 kilos with 36% body fat. I don't think the 5 kilos will equal a loss of 14% body fat. I think I need to realise at 65 kilos I did strength work outs and had muscle. So strenth exercises are a must of me

MFP has worked for me. I tried so many fads and trends and tried to take short cuts but the foods got boring and the pills did more damage than good. I usually fall off the wagon at the 3 month stage. It has been two and I am really enjoying it. In general I eat a thousand times better but since on my journey I have had…

I drink pea protein. Whey makes me so sick!

1530 calories and I eat my calories back. I average about 5 forty, min workouts 5 times a week.

Chest flys (use something else if you don't have weights eg drink bottles), chest presses with free weights and push ups

It is normal to poop anywhere between three times a day to once every three days, which averages out to once a day. But as long as its between those to figures you are normal. Also the movements should be solid without straining. If theyare loose or you have to strain every time then you should see a doctor. So assuming…

I started level 1 yesterday. I did it with 2.5kg weights mostly. I paused to get rythme but didnt stop. It definately worked up a sweat but I was fine today when I went to the gym today. Lets hope it stays that way for day two tomorrow

I am allergic to the proteins in cows milk (goats milk is fine). I still eat cows milk from time to time but usually regret it instantly. My stomach wants to get rid of it by any means possible and I bloat for days. Not worth the pain really

I totally dig this. I like my men primal. Tall, broad and hairy. With a nice chest or back rug to sleep on at night

You're healthier for losing the weight. Where did the fat come from? Hopefully the important places like fat around the organs. Have you seen what fat on an organ looks like? It is the fat there that is important to lose not vanity fat. Just think you probably now have drop dead gorgeous organs.

Realistically guys it isn't like there is a conspiracy in the US where food companies are trying to make you fat by hiding sugars and fats. You're right it is on the label and ingrediants are on a menu. At some point you have to take personal ownership of what you put in your mouth and how much of it. They haven't removed…

I must say while I am often amazed by the range of diet foods and protein shakes the Americans here have access to, I am also blown away by the range of junk! There seems to be so much sweet food, so much sodium and so much fat. We have recently had 'lolly' stands popping up. There is food I have never seen. Blue fanta,…

Hi guys, I'm Eliza and from Sydney. I have been here almost two months and lost over 5 kilos. I have logged everyday since I have joined. History has shown I will usually derail on the 3 month mark so I will love to feel obligated to stay on track through friends. I am almost at my goal weight but my body fat percentage is…

Hi! New South Welshman here!

Checking in: SW: 72.2kg 24/9: 70.8Kg 1/10: 70.2kg 7/10: 70 13/10: 69.2 21/10: 68.4 GW: 65kg I think the last one is just water weight because I was sick but next weeks weigh in will tell

Yep that's me all over. I have ordered pea protein shakes to up my protein and I am going to see my doctor about the iron. I never take a suppliment without checking with her first

Yer I dig it. What are we classing it as? Bicep curls, arm raises and tricep extensions with light weights?

If you're drying your hair while exercising, you aren't doing it right

Like the other women have said we often work out after work or we could have been out. Just because a woman wears make up at the gym doesn't mean it is for anyone elses benefit.

I eat the back or I starve

I did today! I had a small fries! I was craving junk today so I ate it. Mainly I was craving salt and potatoes. Right after my run too. I couldn't care less. I have had McDonalds twice in the two montgs I have been here. Each time just a small fries. I would rather give into it than binge eat trying to avoid it.

I have my ten year coming up. I am not going. I am still friends and still see the people who I was friends with in high schooj. Why the f do I need to see people who I don't care about?

This. 40% makes more sence than 40g

Do you mind if I sell you some more? Manda has used this for months but is new to the forums. She can be shy so add her. She does some cardio at home, goes for walks and the occassional PT session. She has to travel a lot to different places during the day for work which often means eating on the go. In the real world her…

People who are shredding weight have given it time and been consistent. There is no quick fix. Your body needs time to figure out what you are doing

I am highly recommending you as a friend because we are already friends lol

Bean tacos are my weakness! I can eat a family pack on my own. I have to throw them out if I can't resist. So I admire you!
