Thanks for all the kind words everyone! One of the things that worried me when i started this was saggy skin, but i think ive been blessed with super stretchy skin! And helped by drinking loads of water i think.

Personaly id go with a 50/50 mix off Hellmans Lighter Than Light Mayo and Heinz Light Salad Cream. I normaly add either paprika or garlic or chives or cajun spices to mine for that extra flavour.

Even having 1g per 1lb of your weight is not a bad thing, protein is burnt quickly in the body and is used to rebuild muscles, so if your doing a lot of exercising plenty of protein is a good thing as its saves your body burning muscles (im sure someone can give a more in depth and scientific explanation).

Yeah i was a raver many moons ago, the music makes for a good work out at the gym lol

I wasn't eating mine, now i am and my weight lose is completly unaffected as far as i can tell.

Tuna, whey protien shakes, almonds, egg whites are some of the ways I add extra protien to my diet, whey protien shake instead of milk on my cereal in the morning is my favourite tho.

Cardio burns (protien) muscles as well as fat, and bigger muscles burn more calories when your idle. Why are you limiting protien?

I doubt i'll ever be as skinny as the first picture when i was 19, but thats not a bad thing.

I put protein shake on my cereal in the morning so i dont have to use milk :D

My normal breakfast at the moment is Alpen Meusli with protien shake instead of milk and sometimes some random fruit on top. For a change I have a 300g tub of low fat cottage cheese with pineapple and add some extra fruit to it.

Mmm tuna steaks are great on the BBQ, also prawn skewers, chicken kebabs, chicken drumsticks (70ish calories with no skin off), I'm also a fan of veggie skewers with baby tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, shallots and courgette, mmm drools.

Yeah that's right 1g for every 1lb you weigh, that said I've noticed some people mentioning you need to take your fat percentage out of the maths.

I actually weigh myself twice a day normally (before and after the gym) and sometimes a third in the morning, everyday lol just gotta not be disheartened if you go up if you weigh in everyday tho.

5am - Half a protein shake. (90cal). 8am - Tuna/chicken salad. (200cal) 11am - Banana and grapes. (150cal) 2pm - Apple and baby tomatoes. (110cal) 5pm - Protein Shake (after the gym). (180cal) 7pm - Normaly something involving meat with loads of veg and no potatoes. (makes up the remaining 500 calories).

Depends if your going to the gym or exercising, muscles need protein to repair, I double my protein allowance most days and im still losing 1kg a week. Aslong as your not going over on carbs or fat i wouldnt worry.

The same day once a week, first thing in the morning.

The thought behind that is that carbs are slow burning, so if you just plan on lazing around on the sofa for a few a hours then going to bed do really need slow release carbs? Probably not, unless your going for a late night jog after dinner. There's another saying, "eat like a king for breakfast, and a pauper for dinner",…

I think Eliptical machines at the gym are pretty good for that.
