I've been doing low carb and struggling for snacks so my local Boots were selling Atkins choc & orange protein bars for 50p each .... so I bought a few and I've chopped them up into 20 calorie squares and eat one or two squares occasionally .... it has really helped me z

Well I have some protein shakes on order but they haven't arrived yet, but that will be breakfast, until then it's a few nuts, or an omelette with peppers and cheese.... lunch might be chicken/tuna/salmon salad with a double helping of the protein and a sprinkling of nuts ...... dinner cauliflower cheese with bacon/chile con carne (1tbsp rice only), chicken curry (again not much rice) and no naan or maybe a little bit if no rice, but lots of chicken ...... not really having desserts atm, a few nuts or pieces of Atkins bars as a snack

TONS more energy so much I frighten myself lol

o very similar to a bodybuilding diet then?

you should do a wee search for their diet plans and you'll get loads of ideas

my version is to keep protein as high as possible and processed carbs low low and to keep a limit in the amount id have

its that bit tricker when you have to manipulate the calories like that but i agree when the proteins high you do have so much energy

Just done a 10k run keeping it up

Final weigh in for this month 10st 2.75 so 5.25lb loss (was 10st 8)

I'm going to aim for another 5lb next month which will get me down to 9st 11.75 I think

Good luck for February everyone :hug::hug:

I'm the same. My metabolism is crap. Anything above 1200 cal a day and I will gain weight! Even if I'm working out loads dr says its down to my previouse eating disorders my body is so used to eating 500 cal a day and burning 1000s in exercise that any more and it holds on to it.
Perhaps you could try alternate day fasting to try and kick start it xx

I weighed this morning and have only lost 3.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks that I have been really trying but I know what I have done to prevent it being more!! On the plus side I do look and feel slimmer and have more energy so I don't mind too much

I know its the bain of my life ,iv only been eating 500 to 800 calories a day ,the odd fasting day would not hurt but it so hard when what I eat on a daly basis is what most people would class as fasting :-D

Well I've just had my final weigh in and I've lost 7.75lbs since 7th Jan and achieved my goal of being 10st or less .

I'm most excited though about all the changes I've made to my diet and exercise habits, feel like I've finally got the balance right so that I won't put any weight back on and can just focus on being fit and healthy, I couldn't bear to be one of those people who spends their whole life on a diet!

Thanks for such an inspiring thread Loveleelady!
