No doubt a little but I have been another 7kg lighter before and still not have the same results previously.

All about 2021, added (and secret crisp addict too lol) 😆

Ah thanks, that's the plan, inside a stairwell a little like this if all goes to plan but hopefully bit better 😀

50 days in, 4kg down, home gym just built, also installing home climbing wall! I need more people actually using this in my circle. Come at me:D

Apologies OP, this is not what you were asking for at all. Suggestion would be to do what works for you long term and not listen fully to anyone else. Small tweaks regularly; keep what works, ditch what doesn't :) Why some people cannot have a friendly debate or put their point over without accusing someone of being an…

No I have not used anything more accurate than a electro conductive scale (which I know is inaccurate and highly influenced by water levels etc.) however my measurements have increased on upper arms, shoulders and chest so yes I think that should be a good reflection. Yes I meant your body is adaptive and will learn very…

Hey AJ. Yes, I absolutely gained muscle and my lifts are consistently increasing in the gym although my scales (weighed daily, same time) have shown a 2kg loss in the last 7 days with similar results the week before. I had not mentioned adaptive thermogenesis. I looked at the data from the slow carb diet which was based on…

I totally disagree and destroy a cheat day once a week where I actually aim to go well over the top. Last week I hit 6k+ calories and still lost weight over the course of the week (2kg total whilst adding muscle so unsure fat amounts). There is some evidence (although debatable) that if you are strict the rest of the time…

Hi guys, I am on a slow carb diet 6 days per week since beginning of the year and so far so good, although it's hard to break a lifetime habit of potatoes, rice, pasta and sandwiches! Getting a lot of meat, eggs, protein shakes, veg, lentils, kidney beans, tomatoes into everyday and can never get anywhere near the same…

Hey guys, thanks for the adds and messages. More the merrier

Looking for new active contacts to help keep me motivated. I have been logging for nearly 70 days (after stopping for a couple years) and doing slow carbs 6 days a week with a massive cheat day since the beginning of the year. Also hit the gym 4-5 times a week too :sweat_smile:

Anyone done the exercises suggested on the site? http://toughmudder.com/tough-mudder-boot-camp-training/

YES! I need this in my life with a new job where I can't access internet from a computer.

Basingstoke here, added a few from the thread but feel free to add me. On here everyday and hit the gym 4-6 times a week so pretty active. Been logging everyday since I discovered the app about 110 days ago, totally changed how I eat and ( not too surprisingly) the results I got from training :)

Hey, I use a 20kg and have done on and off for a year. Definitely a good investment I think. In Tim Ferris book, he suggests if you could do just one exercise then the 2 hand swing would be the one to go for. I think if you can do more than 30 consecutive swings you need to go up a weight. I aim for a total of 100 twice a…

Well done guys :) I got accused of being on steroids yesterday, felt like giving that person a hug. Pretty much spent the last 6 months hiding away in the gym and avoiding my regular booze buddies, so comments like that make it all worth it! Stay strong people. D
-
YES. I did love those burgers though lol.
-
Wow these examples are nothing. I used to have a weekly gourmet burger & beer with my mates at the local Wetherspoons, thought it was bad as in like 800-1000.... by the time you include a pint of beer and the onion rings 2300+ and this was just one of 3 meals a day. Some days I must have topped 6000 without trying, not…

Chicken. I mean I always liked it but now I am eating 500g+ on the average day and I totally love it, pretty useful addiction for getting my protein in :)

3 days a week?? lol. While you're resting I am getting stronger...

"Person #4:" IF on a 5:2 ratio can still be fit in with work outs which would leave you burning more cals than you eat on a regualr basis so yeah it is really, and yes it has been shown to break through plateaus consistantly while having minimal negative side effects. While I do not support IF or think it is the healthiest…

2 scoops Oats, 2 scoops strawberry protein shake, 2 eggs - in a shaker, 300ml cold water. JOB DONE. Cals:512 (Carbs:27 Fat:18 Protein:59) including slow burn carbs filling up till lunch, Essential fatty acids, 2 types of protein, 300mls water towards 8 glasse a day. No need to cook anything, eaten on the move, tasty,…

Yup, pretty sure they quote (in capitals) ONE day a month. Apart from minimal muscle burn and maybe needing more fuel next day this is hardly unsimilar to fasting at a much lower frequency and doing it 12 days a year won't cause any damage unless I am missing something? :/
-
An explanation re strength training in case you're interested - Because lifting weights is anabolic (without oxygen) and the intensity and speed at which you lift them can't be easily measured it is impossible for MFP to calculate how many cals you would burn. Also because of the type of exercise you burn during but ALSO…
-
Hey, pretty much felt this way when I discovered the app 110 days ago and not looked back since. Definitely changed how I eat, train etc :) 1) Strength wise, some people log it under cardio and guess although personally I just upped my cal target a few hundred to account for the burn and kept under TDEE. I do 90 mins of…
-
I always eat more in the day so I effectively owe the cals, means I am less likely to skip a gym sesh or find excuses. If I have already eaten the food, then I don't have a choice, the gym burn is inevitable lol :)
