Wedding anniversary- Eating carbs
We are going away on Friday for the whole weekend. I have been eating low carbs for 8 or 9 weeks now with no cheat meals, no extra carb days etc but next weekend I'm fully going to splash out on delish carby food (thai food with Rotis and curry puffs, vietnamese dumplings etc) so I'm wondering if I should ease myself into…

Stalled
Ok I realise 1 week is not really that long, but it has been super frustrating going a whole week and not loosing a thing, and this morning I was up 200grams.

What does everyone else do? I would've thought cooked as pre cooked food has a lot of moisture ie potatoes, chicken, sausages but now I'm wondering because of the nutritional info on food packages? :huh:

Wow I've already lost a few
inches since starting 5x5. I'm so stoked! I've lost approx 3inches on my hips (where pants sit), and approx 2 on my waist and 1 on my thighs. I've only been doing 5x5 for a week but I have been eating alot better for 1.5 weeks. My weight hasn't changed but who cares when some of my pre-preg clothes are fitting hehe

Protein shakes
Does anyone drink protein shakes while doing this? or is that more for pro powerlifters? I currently get approx 60-80grams a day just from food (mostly chicken)

Hey everyone, newbie here :)
Hi everyone. Just have a quick question. I've just started out with (just done some practise movements with the bar not the actual workout) but doing the squat with just the bar is really easy.
