@Kaedius345 @Latestfuels @DvdVgt thanks so much for these! I had a migraine yesterday so didn’t really eat much but I’ll definitely try some of the recipes
back up to 145 today but I’m putting it down to weighing myself later than usual and before going to the loo, but also I did have a wobbly weekend food-wise and didn’t really track calories well. Plus I went out and had quite a bit to drink which is unusual for me. Jumping back on the Huel wagon today though and confident it will go back down soon. Reading/looking at other people’s journeys on here and seeing their spiky weight charts is reassuring and a good reality check. Ok if I want to lose all the weight really quickly and not enjoy any food then fine I just need to go hard at it, but that’s not my goal. I want to be able to enjoy food in moderation and gradually lose weight. It’s a challenge for me but I’m up for it. Or at least today I am…
I’m really looking forward to trying a Huel bar for my lunch later.
Remember, muscles weight more so as you lose fat and gain muscle you might not notice on the scale.
I’m wishing you the best!
Down a tiny bit from yesterday to 144.2…
I stayed well within my calories yesterday but didn’t make it to my gym class as I was working late but I will go Thursday.
Tried my first Huel bar - I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve read mixed views but actually I was pleasantly surprised. I had the coffee one and I found it wasn’t too sweet. It had that kind of dry texture you expect from a bar like that but it was really ok and I found it filled me up quite nicely.
My bathroom scales are on the blink, I think. They’re pretty old digital ones and they keep telling me they have low battery even though I’ve put fresh batteries in about 3 times. Anyone got any suggestions for an accurate but not too expensive set? Thoughts on digital vs traditional?
Huel bars, where have you been all my life? They really fill me up quite nicely and I like the fact that you have to work quite hard to chew them…feels like maybe it burns some calories I tried the chocolate one yesterday which I didn’t like quite as much as the coffee caramel one but it’s nice to have a variety.
Still plodding along at 143.8.
I seem to lose weight less when I do more exercise, why is this? The classes I’ve been doing are a 30min intense cardio followed by 30mins concentrated ab work once a week and Clubbercise once a week, and a gentle hour of yoga once a week. On the weeks I skip the classes I seem to lose more weight. Is this just coincidence? I’m pretty sure I’m not building that much muscle, if any, but I do sweat a lot! I take a drink and make sure I have extra water but maybe not enough?
If you’re doing strength training or anything strenuous then it’s probably just water retention - it’s one of the components of muscle repair
Congrats on the loss so far and well done!
