I ate 700 calories of bacon the other night hehehe. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are doing it often =)

Oh wow cool! Happy anniversary fot next weekend! When I've done low carb before and then gone over my limit I've had trouble with the other end haha and I didn't want it to happen whilst at a restaurant, that'd be embarrassing and ruin the weekend. I usually plan 2-7days ahead with my mfp diary so that's no problem =)

My scales have finally shifted this morning! 68.1kgs. Muscles are a teeny bit sore from lifting but I'm on my feet all day at work so hopefully that helps. So happy!

Thanks. I'll check it out now =)

No I haven't. I didn't even know it was an issue until reading a bit more on here. How do you supplement it without using broth? My sodium is generally between 750-1500 a day

Hmm, I'm already eating at approx 70-80g protein. This is definitely going to be trial and error. I'm also thinking 1400cal high protein on my lift days and what I'm doing now on none lift days and see how it goes. Rather than jump all in with higher cals and protein. The last 2 weeks I've been feeling like crap,…

Thank you =) That sounds like a plan. I'm aiming for 140g protein (will need to have either protein bars or protein powder) 78g fat and 35g carbs. Which works out at 50%f 40%p 10%c do these macros look ok? Also I think I will weigh myself weekly instead of daily from now on. Thanks for your help

I'm waiting on a new scale to arrive for body fat, muscle mass etc to watch any trends as I know they are not very accurate. Thank you =)

I'm going to buy a new scale that measures body Fat %age, muscle mass etc. I'm looking at the Garmin index smart scale if anyone has one?

I'd be interested in a Facebook group if others are

Just wanted to get my frustration out. My scales haven't budged in a week! My weight hasn't gone up or down at all. So frustrating

Hi everyone, I've been ding LC Since Sept 26th and I've lost 7.2kgs since. I have approx 7kgs to my goal. I try to keep my carbs under 50g and cals about 1000-1200. I also IF as I don't eat breakfast (never have) so I'm very satsfied with the cals I'm eating and sometimes I struggle to get over 900. The only exercise I do…

I've had no issues eating it every night lol but I do suck on mints all day that "could cause a laxative effect" But thanks for the info as I never even knew those were laxatives :)

In New Zealand we have this ice cream :smiley: http://www.icecream.co.nz/Grocery/Zilch/

Ohmigoodness, you look stunning in your after!!

Do you? I never see anyone who has gotten their body fat under 20% with saggy tums

WOW everyone looks AMAZING! I'm super jealous of every ones tummys. No one has saggy stretched marked tummys like me =(

Wowzers! Keep it up! You look like a sexy librarian/teacher in the pic dress pic hehe it's super cute!

WOW, I actually swore out loud when I saw your new pic lol to the tune of "holy f***" Your body has changed considerably! and in only 3 months! Go you!!

What about a Derma roller? I really want to try one =)

Wow! You have done an awesome job and literally worked your *kitten* off!

I would follow the docs advice as you look like you are wanting to gain weight/muscle

Easier way that I do it is...put peanut butter jar on scale, tare and take out till you reach (in negative numbers) how much you want. IE for 15 grams, it will say -15 grams. A lot easier than trying to put peanut butter on a piece of bread on the scale lol I also put my dinner plate on the scale and tare and weigh any…

Ah yes ladyark. I wore flipflops all through summer and they wrecked one of my feet, still gets quite sore in the joint. I think I will just have to go see an ortho? and get seen to properly. At least then they can help with strapping, what not to do etc. All the advice in here has been very helpful :) I did keep running…

Sorry I should of gone into a bit more detail My shoes are fine, I don't run any more (because of the splints) so the only cardio I do exercise wise is the cardio on the 30DS. Using a pool isn't an option atm (not to mention wearing swimwear in public is a no go for me lol). Calf circumference is 35.75 cm...not too bad I…

I was only looking for something with more than 25 grams of protein and this was it. After doing some reading on it just now, it sounds like the best there is regarding taste and protein content. So next month I will be buying some :bigsmile:

It sounds all good to me :) It has the most protein content I've seen (most range from 20-25), I'm not worried about the carb content as I eat enough carbs as it is :blushing: that's why I'm looking for lower carb. Anyone with any info on this brand would be very appreciated :bigsmile:

Wow so much information, thanks everyone :) I will read into it more after dinner :P I just need something that will top my protein levels up after doing 5x5 SL workouts and help me build some muscle :bigsmile: The prices here in NZ are outrageous :(

Thanks everyone :) I can't hit my protein goals with what I eat (also need to work on this) and I'm trying to build muscle whilst losing fat doing the 5x5 SL program. Also love choc peanut butter :D

WOW!! You look great! Your thighs are so freaking awesome! I want thighs like yours hehe :)
