weight fluctuation is normal Mel, I am currently floating between 68.5 and 70.5, don't be to concerned about it at the moment.

This is true, hydration is the main culprit. You can lose up to 4kg in water weight, but you can also retain a lot of water with a diet high in sodium. My weight has been a steady 83kg for the past week due to eating the same and staying hydrated.

Keep in mind though, muscle weighs more than fat (as we all know) so as your measurements will go down due to shedding the top fat layer, your muscles will also firm up creating more mass. You may actually gain weight once you reach a certain point.

Nah I am talking 5-6kg of fluctuations lol. Think something I was eating didn't like me so have cut out all dairly, egg and soy (I know I am intollerany to dairy, soy and mildy allergic to egg protein) and even tho I wasn't having much at all I cut it out and in a day dropped down to 72 from 77. On a lean and green diet at the moment to see how things go with that. The amount I am training and eating I should be dropping way more than I am and you don't gain muscle that quickly so nutting out what the issue is. I don't have a diet high in sodium, never have. And I drink the same amount of water every day which is 5L (1 per kg of body weight and 1 per hr exercise) general rule of thumb is 2L per day but getting more complex into the nutrition/training recommendation side of things it is 1L per 25kg of body weight and 1L per hr of exercise.

Ok so new Update:

Weight: 68.9kg (down 4.7kg since the end of the first week but down 7.4 in total)

Chest: 84cm (down 5.5cm)

Waist: 74cm (down 7cm)

Hips: 86cm (down 9 cm)

Thigh: 49cm (down 3cm)

Arm: 28cm (down 2cm)

Not bad considering I have been a complete Stress head, getting jack all sleep and have missed a few sessions because I went away for a weekend and my partner came down to visit the weekend before plus I Rollerblade and the last week haven't been able to because my ankles are swollen but I think I have found the solution to that - Just need to get hold of some foam lol :)

Muscle definition in my arms and legs is starting to look awesome! Not too fussed about the weight at the moment as the cm are coming off and my strength and muscle tone is definitely improving!

See attached pic so far... Sorry they are shitty pics!

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
