Was a complete disaster this weekend, I was out drinking and I did the hangover grazing thing yesterday followed by a takeaway. Fully expecting to be up on the scales on Wednesday.
But the best part is I don't care
I had a great weekend and saw people I haven't seen in months and enjoyed every bit of it, I know I can start eating properly again today and go from there! 0 -
Like a demon, so cross, got weighed in and after spending 5 tough days in gym and doing a 5 mile walk/run Saturday I only lost .4 of a lb!!!!!!!
Can't believe it, I was so good dieting, probably too good, instructor said... skipped few meals, no snacking so long breaks between eating...
Trainer did say reading shows 3lb increase in muscle and 3.5 fat loss, water up and bmi down and is good news... Just so disappointed..

Hey guys
Quick question if thats okay, I bought Galtee Smoked back rashers the other day for breakfast instead of turkey rashers as they were much cheaper (watching the pennies).
They're much higher in fat and lower in protein and I'm thinking now the little bit extra for the turkey rashers is definitely worth it.
For example:
2 turkey rashers: 53kcal, 1g carbs, 0g fat, 12g protein
2 Galtee rashers: 104kcal, 0g carbs, 9g fat, 10g protein.
I just want to be sure before I change back that I'm not missing anything? The turkey rashers have to be the better option?
I don't eat the rind of the normal rashers, will that take some of this fat count off? The reason I ask is the last few days I've noticed my fat consumption has increased relative to everything else and I want to keep an eye on it and reduce it where possible.
Thanks!
In terms of value for calories, you get a lot more bang for your buck with the turkey rashers. But one thing I've learned on here is not to be afraid of the fat. It's the salt content of the the galtee rashers that would put me off them.
Not eating the rind would cut much of the sat fat out of the galtee ones anyway if you were going to eat them.
Not having a good day today at all lads. I feel huge. Feel like I've gained, my body is bloated and just feels big. I was having serious cravings today for carbs and junk and I did resist but I still feel as if I've binged or something.
Hate this. My weight was so unstable for so long I felt like I had final stabilised it. Now I feel like it's all over the shop again.
I know I sound like a broken record but it's messing with my head tonight. 0 -

Thankya I'm not afraid of fat per se, I'm afraid of how much fat I'm eating :eek: I'm hitting my fat goal on mfp every day (and going over) and since I'm not exercising (yet) I'm afraid of overdoing it!
Please please please don't let it mess with your head. I know I'm not one to talk, I've taken a baby step on this massive journey that you've already taken, but I think you've done so amazingly well it's not funny!
You're so close to your goal that to me it seems natural your body is going to throw the odd fit, it's going to react well to some things and less well to others. Maybe mixing up everything you eat might help? Your exercise is amazing so I don't think there's much to do there
Some days we have 'fat' days and some days we have skinny days. Hate to label them like that but that's how it is, we feel fat and skinny :P over a few days I don't think they make much difference, but when you're having a bad day it can be a nightmare, but please remember it's not for always and you've done amazingly so far
That's my 2c from a total newbie that really has no idea what she's talking about scientifically but I've been there emotionally :P
Re my own weight loss, I'm weighing in tomorrow and am fully expecting to be up 1-2lb and after my weekend ill take that and be grateful :P0 -

I'm there with ya! In fairness, 2.5 lbs that I thought I had gained have come off since Sunday. Turns out it was just TOM bloat combined with a few days of eating bread/pasta. That stuff needs to go! Every time I eat it I feel like my belly looks like an over-inflated balloon. So if it's bloat, then it's just that - not fat gained 0 -

If you find that you don't hit your carbs goal but go over on your fat then I wouldn't worry about it too much. I used to always eat turkey rashers but I'm going for the streaky bacon now. Makes me feel dirty
But it tastes so good
Thanks and to be fair a good part of my daily fat is my eggs and almonds, so at least it's good fat! 0 -
