It's always the grannys, my granny is the worst. Comments like this along with remarks when I ate anything, then when I started being healthy and lost weight she would go on and on about how I wasn't eating properly and my face was scrawny. She's adorable though!

Seriously, I used to be astounded by the things people said when I first lost weight. I lost around 70lb having struggled with my weight since I was about 10 years old. The usual, don't lose any more, you're wasting away, one person said I reminded them of a baby as my head looked so big now compared to my body. These…

Thanks, I'm on it

From now on when I go to a party, I'll be like, "no don't worry, I don't need a seat" and I'll just wow everyone with how I sit on an imaginary chair all night

genius, thanks

WOW girl, you are looking hawt! Well done. Your pics need to be on a poster campaign for all those girls afraid to lift incase they suddenly turn into a man. Amazing work

Can't believe MFP blanked out that word, I wasn't being rude, *****cat pillow!

I said, "I think we'll take this off" and he did a little smile and asked if I was sure. It hurts today though, but not enough to justify using a ***** pillow!

Hey guys Thanks for the comments. So I was nervous about asking my trainer about this, but tonight I trained legs and although I didn't quite have the courage to ask the point of the static squat I asked if we could barbell squat instead. I said I really wanted to and he said sure. He told me he isn't a fan of barbell…

My main priority at the minute is fat loss. I do want to get stronger, build muscle but I need to shed the fat lbs

I occasionally use pulsin maple and peanut sport protein bars. They're made in UK from all natural ingredients. Cheapest place to buy them is amazon. To be honest they taste ok for a protein bar. The first time I had one I think my expectations were a bit high, I was anticipating a protein friendly snickers bar. Def not…

This is awesome and inspirational especially for those of us who are trying to realise that the scale is not the best measure of success. You look great and yes you lost 15lbs, but I bet people would have guessed it was much more than that. Thanks for posting this

Say what?

this dropped in to my in box today, think it's meant for you x http://www.acaloriecounter.com/blog/why-am-i-not-losing-weight/

I really enjoyed this article. It rang true on a lot of levels. Particularly the eating at a serious deficit and wondering why no weight was being lost, oh yeah that would be those 3-4 days a month when you binge on about 5000 calories a day. Oh but how can a few days have such a detrimental effect when I'm so good the…

thanks

Thanks guys. Seeing what a big fluctuation I have had in my days so far has made me think I need to wait a few weeks and work out an average TDEE based on the fitbit. Until then I would like to make negative calorie adjustments at the end of the days that require them, but not have my macros stuffed up, so I'm guessing I…

hmmm thanks guys, I haven't logged any exercise because I haven't quite worked out the deal with that. I thought I had my exercise factored into my cal goal based on TDEE so I never logged exercise on MFP, so maybe I need to change that? Fitbit gave me around 350 cals for my cardio and I know from HRM it's around 535, so I…

Hey I'm interested

I just went with a trial for him and I really thought he was good, much better than the guy I just finished with. I'm not going to rush in to a decision this time as I don't want another disappointment. I'm on hols next week anyways and again second week in August, so I'll do my own training until I come back and decide…

LOL Sara did my macros for me a while back, she recommended 1700 cals, 165 carbs, 55 fat and 124 protein. I was following this very nicely until I went on hols and ate like a pig, but it works really well. This guy didn't mention calories, he just said 160 protein( based on me being 160lbs) 100g carbs and 42g fat. I put…

FAGE. I blitz it up with frozen fruits, add a little honey, some pumpkin seeds. Delicious

I do romaine lettuce wraps, filled with any meat( I particularly like shredded beef, cooked with stock and a few herbs) and then I add avocado and mayo and a little grated cheese or if I do grilled turkey instead of beef I might also add a few walnuts. Greek yogurt, with pumpkin seeds and desiccated coconut is good, maybe…

LOL

This is sensible

Did you tell the nutritionist how much you work out? There is no way you could do heavy workouts on a plan like this. You will be glycogen depleted and your strength will be drastically reduced. Is this a nutritionist that you pay to go to, could it be a case of them wanting you to lose a stack of weight very fast so that…

Hey someone sent me this link a while ago, I think it's a good explanation of what you are talking about with regards to water and glygogen storage http://www.justinowings.com/understanding-bodyweight-and-glycogen-de/

I'm on a high protein diet, sometimes I find it really tough going. Turkey steaks are really good, I just grill them and then munch them as a snack, the ones I get are 125g and there is 37.5g protein per steak. My husband says I overcook them, but I quite like them crispy on top if I'm just snacking on them during the day.…

BMI is so misleading. Most of the really strong people I know with low body fat % have a weight that would place them in the overweight category
