Not sure chocolate; I know when I set up MFP it came up with percentages but now I check with the grams to keep under 60 for both fat and protein as doing (kind of) pcos style le.x

I think on mfp if you look nutrition,you then get 3 options, calories,nutrition and micronutrients or something which show your percentages. Only noticed it the other week,quite handy to see :-)

Just checked and for today mine is 24% fat 8% protein x

24 is great :-) Think I'm going to replace my hot cross buns with crumpets as they are quite low for fat and salt. Have been playing on mfp ;-)

Yes!!! Crumpets are great!! I've got a real thing for them lately toasted then a small amount of mature cheddar grilled on top x

Yum!! Have been thinking of some grilled cheese on top!! Talked myself out of it as I keep thinking I should do the opposite of my cravings lol

Hello davesig4... welcome to the madhouse! No offence ladies!!

How long have you been going with the diet/exercise? I'm not exercising outdoors, but I'm definitely finding it harder the longer I go on. I wonder if it is the general fatigue of the LE diet? I've been swaying since first week of January and exercising 5-6 times per week. I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Had a tough week, kids off school, so lots of days out and go-to foods. Plus, my whole body just aches with all the exercise and I feel so fatigued. So far I have lost more than 20lbs but am struggling with general well-being, conjunctivitis, weak nails and hair and lethargy etc. I'm trying to be pleased that this means its all having an impact but its haaaaaarrrrrrrrd going!

Do keep on visiting here hun. The ladies are so down to earth and lovely-we're all going through it together. My absolute best thing for motivation when I've had enough on the TM is to imagine all the lovely ladies here doing exactly the same thing!! That keeps me going!

Hi Glittermouse

Well done for your 20lbs, that's amazing! I wish I could be so successful!

I started by cutting out meat at the beginning of Jan. Went full on LE at the beginning of Feb, no meat, no breakfast/snacking, drinking diet coke which I have never done before, cutting out more nutritious foods. And I lost about 7lbs in those 2 months, my calorie intake was quite low and I lost quite a lot of muscle in these 2 months, probably also because I'm hardly eating any protein. In March I think my diet was slightly more relaxed and my weight has gone up and down by a couple of pounds which is really annoying, but because I know I'm not allowed to eat at certain times I keep thinking about food! I think this is why I have been slacking a bit! But I have been doing more exercise, which I know has increased my muscle in my legs. Which is going to increase my testosterone I suppose! Argh, so frustrating! We were going to have our first attempt this month but I can't help thinking that I haven't done enough lately, maybe even cancelled out any good I did in the first 2 months, so now I don't know what to do.

I did manage to get out of the house at 6.20 this morning for a run though which was quite nice, I was quite pleased with myself! Did 50 minutes, 8.5k. 3'sacharm, I don't know how you manage 15k in an hour! You must be superwoman!

Oh no davesig4 - if it's nearer the 15k mark then it's well over an hour, about 1hr 20! If it's only 10km though then it's about 50mins so I usually try to extend it, but doing the loops it's tricky to extend without going for quite a bit longer!! Well done for getting out so early to run though, I hate running early morning When it's dark. Today should be interesting as a busy one for my eldest's birthday, will see how I go with *an hours* bouncing at the trampoline place and if it doesn't reach it, then I'll head out tonight once all in bed for a run I think...x
