Stopped logging for 2 Months now.........
......and i've stayed the same weight! Yayy. I do still weigh certain things like Rice, Pasta, Cereal - but i haven't logged one thing! I've had Pizza, Big Restaurant Meals, Alcohol etc. - so it's not like i've been depriving myself either. So it IS possible. Thought i'd be logging forever! Lol

Having trouble eating enough Protein
I was at maintenance but i've decided to slowly lose 3-4 pounds, so i'm only eating 1600/1700 cals a day as opposed to my usual 2000 cals (TDEE). The thing is, i'd like to up my Protein but find it very hard on this amount of calories. I don't drink protein shakes and i don't eat eggs or cottage cheese. When i could eat…

Body Fat Calculator - Accurate?
Not sure if it's just wishful thinking on my part ;) , but this body fat calculator seems to be the most accurate i've used (saying i'm 24% BF). Most say i'm 28%, which i don't think i am. Do your results seem accurate? http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fat-calculator-usmc

Period Pain like Cramps while Running
I've just started getting these period pain like cramps while i've been out running. It feels like i'm about to start my period, but it's not even anywhere near around that time of the month.

Gonna start lifting weights,..... but scared i'm gonna overeat!
Well, i'm finally going to start lifting weights - after toying with the idea for some time. But in the past, whenever i've done some kind of weight lifting i.e Kettlebells....i'm always ravenous afterwards and then end up eating anything in sight! (Cardio doesn't effect me like this). Even after helping to move around…

Bruises on Legs after Kettlebells Workout
I've just started doing Workouts using Kettlebells....targeting my Legs (i.e Squats, Lunges) and i've noticed i have a large bruise on the back of my knee/sort of lower thigh. I'm guessing it's due to the new workout and it's kind of putting me off. :/ Has anyone else experienced this?

Low Carb, High Protein - I need ideas and CONVINCING!
I want to try lowering my Carb intake and upping my Protein. Basically, i'm trying a different angle to lose body fat....and lowering Carbs seems about the best way for me right now (obviously, along with exercise).
