No problem at all - I hope it helps!

I also meant to say - remember you don't have to go hungry or feel deprived. I'm guessing your TDEE number is somewhere around the 2200 calorie mark, which...

The scale has just been bouncing up and down this last week, and today I'm the same as last Fri. I've managed to be really sensible with food & drink at various work Christmas parties so far, and am...

And helllooooooo 216.8lbs. Nice to see the scales on the move again!

I made a beef bourguignon last night - its an incredible recipe from a French Classics book and tastes absolutely divine.

Finally broke the 218 barrier I've been stuck at for a few weeks.

Today, my weigh in is 217.8lbs.

Not a huge loss, but a loss all the same!

I've been bouncing around 218-220lbs mark for the last 2.5 weeks, but today I woke up to find I've finally broken through it.

Hellooooo 217lbs!


Total inches lost:-

Social media can be amazing, but it can also be a bloody awful place. If you don't rely on it to stay in contact with close friends and family, it might be worth coming off of it for a little while....

Haha yes, I am indeed a woman!

It was OHP day today. I kept to the same weight as my last session and found it easier than I did last sesh, but on the final rep, I was absolutely done and I felt...

Ok first entry...

That makes a lot of sense, and I find that really focusing on engaging my core during OHP makes a difference.

Thanks all, I'll keep doing what I'm doing, but look at strengthening my core too to...

I started SL5x5 about a month ago, and whilst I'm merrily progressing up the weights in most of the lifts, my OHP is starting to suffer.

Its not disheartening, and I'm happy to deload as needed in...

Are you asking whether I think their lying about the nutritional info or mocking me about my concept of 'high protein'?

Its high protein in the grand scheme of pasta, and doesn't taste like...

UK shoppers may already know this, but I've just discovered high protein fusilli pasta in tesco

Phil if its any help, after chatting to a few people on here, I made a start with lifting, in combination with a calorie deficit diet, to help me lose some much needed weight. I'm now 4 weeks in and...

Oooh, ooohh, count me in on my first challenge.
