Thank you :) I thought so too! I have never restricted my diet so much in my life! I already have so many rules, regulations and limitations I just can't think what else I can do! (I am enjoying it at the same time, it's just i'm a bit fed up with having nothing to show for it..) And I have done measurements, but they…

Ah okay :) awesome. Thank you!

Okay :) thanks for the advice. What about eating oats and wholemeal pita/bread/grains? Or is that not really advised when wanting quick progress?

Yeah totally agree that I don't really have a lot to lose, buti have awful cellulite so yeah maybe you're right. Strength training will firm me up. Anything I can do regarding what to eat though? Foods to avoid?

so are you saying that i would be in theory losing more weight than what i planned? i'm not over weight, i'm just trying to trim up, so maybe thats why the weight is really slowly coming off..? eating like this certainly won't make me put on weight or maintain will it?

seriously? i feel like i'm eating so much. i guess thats why this whole eating healthy thing is good. instead of eating an 800 calories pizza, i add up calories by other little things. hmm

I see what you mean. I absolutely adore breakfast so I've always been concerned that my breakfasts have always been around 50/60 carbs... Wasn't too sure whether or not it's an advisable thing to do that's all..

That's a very good point! Thank you :) or maybe add some rice with my dinner.... Hmmmm :)

I feel like I've already eaten a lot today! Don't know where I'm going to fit the eating in... Working 5 - 10 without a break.. Hmmmmm

40g of porridge oats, 100 ml almond milk, 100ml of water, two teaspoons of sweetener and half teaspoon of cinnamon. It's amazing. Chop a banana on top too!

I'm only worried because my plates are always like piled high! Even though it's healthyish things.. I feel as though maybe I shouldn't be getting away with it! I a, logging the correct amounts as well.. And well because I'm not over weight (just trying to trim up a bit!) it's hard to tell how fast I should be losing..

A little bit. Would be useful to have some working scales... I'm just still concerned that I'm not doing this right.

Porridge with banana and cinnamon! Great fuel for a workout.

Try using a tortilla wrap as the base, spread some tomato purée or sauce on it, any veg topping and then low fat cottage cheese or mozzarella on top. It's awesome :) garlic prawns are also good on top!

Ive developed this as well!!! I have no idea what it is but it gets a lot worse after I eat peanut butter.... Strange.

Thank you! Will bare that in mind!

I'm on 1400 a day. Don't think mine is spot on perfect though.....

Which processed foods in particular? Majority of the things on my diary I make myself?

Annnyone?

About 133lbs but I carry most my weight on my bottom half so I have quite wobbly legs and lower tummy fat which I really want to get rid of. But yes I guess it is a lot about shape as well. I'm just slightly annoyed because I absolutely adore food and being on this diet is making me slightly sad as I have been cutting out…

Not really no. I feeeel slightly slimmer but I just think its psychological because I'm eating a hell of a lot better than I used to..

awesome, thanks :) i'm just slightly concerned that this diary will only cause me to maintain my weight and not lose it. need to lose SOMETHING before my holiday June 11th! And oh yes, i always forget to log my water, but I probably should drink a little more!

thank you :) i actually completely agree with you. i always used to have pieces of fruit, but we suddenly got nesquik in the house. so just taking advantage for the time being!
