Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Morning all, going well so far today :-)

Rest of the week a bit of a write off tbh on the food front, exercise has improved though

I had poached eggs for breakfast, lovely (we have our own chickens)

10 weeks is a great idea, but it feels like a very long time, i need to go ODAAT currently, though a target would help i'm sure

Week 1/10 - +0.4kg

I just focus on getting as many good habits in as I can each day, lammo. But I weigh weekly and want to see a difference over time!
This week, I weighed a day early (Wednesday) and had lost 0.6kg. I went out for lunch with friends that day and gained 0.9kg yesterday, which is still showing this morning 🙄 So I'm up 0.4kg on last week.
I've done all my gym sessions and planned runs, I'm drinking plenty and sleeping better. The only thing left is to reduce the calories. So this week I'm dropping to 1300 calories to see if that shakes things up a bit. I'm made up a new menu plan, still with 4 meals a day, but I've cut 100 calories off one of the meals. It was fine yesterday and I wasn't hungry and I've managed to keep the protein levels up.

Well today has been a big success on the eating front with no snacks at all, and three good meals.

Activity wasn’t bad either.

Bring on tomorrow

Well done, lammo. The habit is building and getting stronger :)

Protein powder, puddings and bars help on days when I've not quite got enough, but I have Greek yoghurt on cereal for breakfast and chicken for lunch most days and that gives a big protein hit.
I'm still eating 4 x a day, but have cut the calories in one of the meals down from 400 to 300, just for a week or two.

I've also stopped having so many cups of tea; I have sugar in tea and that would be adding a fair bit to the daily calories - no more than 2 cups a day for now. Lesson learnt!

Lammo those days are building up :)

GimmeMedals

Hubby drinks lots of coffee and hot chocolate and he is a 2 sugar per cup sort of chap so we are reducing it 4 cups a day.
It is the little things that can make a difference.I am lucky I drink black coffee and no sugar.

I have clif bar and dairy free yoghurt most days not as much protein but it helps.I have same breakfast and eggs for lunch although I do need a break as 2 Duck eggs can make you a little fed up at times.
For a change i had 2 mini croissants can not remember when I last had any and was a nice change but have a feeling i will play catch up on protein through the day.

What do you use protein powder in? I have some nut powder which is similar but not used it as yet.

I have one of the following, Wp:
Stir into cooked porridge
Add to Greek yoghurt (plus some water as it gets thick) and serve with fruit (tinned or fresh pineapple or peaches work well)
Smoothies
Protein shake - just add water or skimmed milk
Protein mug cake - there are recipes on the internet

PhSmart protein powder has a recipe for protein mousse on the bag, which is basically 1 scoop of powder added to about 80ml of water then whisk it well. I’ve not tried this though
