I would personally weight until it's near enough healed. You will will near enough always be moving your waist when you exercise and the last thing you want is to irritate the scabbing. When I had my thigh tattoo done I waited just over a week until the scabbing was tough enough to cope with the movement and sweat! x

PMSL I was thinking the same ;)

I heart MFP <3

Bump! Great thread. Interesting questions and excellent answers! My question is, i'm going away in six weeks and want to look toned and mildly ripped by then. I started PT sessions last week and was a little disheartened that I lost weight but no inches. I know it takes time but do you think I can realistically see results…

Doesnt look like there is enough protein there IMO

I love the one on my thigh the best :)

I love that programme but it's 'trigger TV' for me and makes me want to binge. Not cool.

I buy Asda frozen chicken breast strips. They are cooked and frozen so all you need to do is ping them in the mircowave for three minutes and you have an instant protein snack.

Why have you decided on this hun? I think it will be OK if you are within your daily allowances, however, I think I would personally miss solid food too much!

Yup, this is me in one of the garages at Spa Francorchamps :-)

I agree. If you find your salads are lacking calories, add some cheese or something along those lines. If your not hungry, you can always measure out some peanut butter and eat that straight from the spoon. Its high in calories and has good fats :)

8/10 your rocking that outfit :D

Wow! Thank you all so much for your replies! Im going to up my calories to 1400 as of Monday and I have booked a personal trainer to help me with affect from Friday 27th :)

Thanks :)

Really glad its working for you Meg :) Im hoping to see a change in my size as aposed to what the scales day. Hopefully I can get rid of my all over excess flab and look defined.

Helloitsdan said my BMR is 1285 and my TDEE is 1767. We agreed that I should be eating 1950 each day to tone up. I dont want to physically bigger before my holiday in 8 weeks, i want to look toned and tight x

Thank you. This is all so confusing. All I want to do is lose inches and not gain too much weight :(

Thanks for the info there. And yeah, when I say tone I mean muscle definition. Ive had a really long and hard journey battling with my weight from having a borderline ED to where I am now. Im determined to get myself into shape but what with my shady past and lack of knowledge i feel like a noob that needs to ask these…

Wish I could see the pic! Darn work computer! I plan to clean eat and strength train come monday and I too have an 8 week target! Im sure you look fab in your pics x

Try Quark, it can be found in the cheese section hun :)

Missippi, just to try this 'mud pie' everyone is raving on about! Would love to go anywhere in America though to be fair :)

You will lose wright fast eating 800 - 1000 calories a day but that sort of lifestyle isnt sustainable, trust me, been there done that! Its not a healthy way to lose weight, even if you are not feeling hungry for more caloreis you really should try. Do you eat back exercise calories? You should be eating the minimum of…

Thanks all. It was delish! Good old slimming world recipe wins again!

Looks good!

Me to, Ipswich :)

I have 8 tattoos :-)
