wooops was supposed to edit original post and ended up quoting and posting again :smile:

totally depends on how you feel about your surroundings and the vibe you get. I live in Johannesburg and go to the gym at 4:30am when its still dark, feel safer than I did back in Manchester, UK that's for sure..

yuck black pudding

uuggghhhh

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

How many calories are you eating in total? so its 1200 but then you exercise and don't eat those back?

It doesn't look like you have time after work, so could you try waking up earlier for a workout in the morning? It may also help you to fall asleep earlier too in the evenings. At least try it for a few weeks, see how you feel. :)

I usually drink a whey protein shake and a tuna mayo sandwich.

I would say both, if I am retaining water, my trousers are a little tighter, so I would think that's because of a few cm increase.

I'm no expert, but could it not just be water retention? I doubt you would have gained 1lb of pure fat in a week.

You could be getting skinny fat being on such a low calorie diet and losing LBM

Can you save a few calories from your day to have as a snack at night?

whaaaat?

Hi, I use the USN Whey Protein Plus in strawberry, tastes like melted ice cream. 22g Protein / 2g carbs / 3g of fat It was the cheapest on the shelves too. If I convert it to $$ it would be around $33…

At work

You are having a yogurt and banana for lunch. how about you have that as a snack and have a larger lunch? That will add more calories to your day.

I don't keep any snacks in my house, and don't bring cash to work to buy from the vending machine. I find a cup of tea with sugar and milk fills me up :)

lift 4 days a week, have active rest days 3 days a week, where I will do 30 minutes of HIIT

i'm in Jo'burg :)

Personally, and if its close friends, I usually ask them what food we are going to be having that night, if its something I don't want to eat like pizza, they are good enough friends for me to feel comfortable by telling them I'll pass. If they aren't close friends, and I don't know they are giving me food until I get…

nope

I can see my knee caps when I sit down, I can see my elbow joint A UK size 10 pair of jeans are getting baggy - I never even thought I could fit into them, nevermind possibly getting into a UK 8! I have a chin, not just a round podgy face

I just want to say well done for gaining 15Kg's, that must have been very hard to do. You are at a healthy BMI and that's truly amazing for someone who once weighed 38Kg's.

Some of these responses are beyond hilarious!

Thanks so much for the link, I did read it a while back, I have read it again but couldn't see what body fat % she currently is, would be interested to find out. At the moment I only lift weights, and I am benchpressing the same as her at the moment. I would like to be a little more defined than her if im honest. That's…

Protein shake, protein bar, cup of cottage cheese is +/- 30g of protein, cheese, eggs, obviously meat and fish.

I have bulletproof coffee to up my fats without upping other macros such as protein and carbs.
