No healthy eating today... feel I should do a pre-emptive confession. I lost a lb this week as well , and in 1 day I will manage to undo that, and some ... AF arrived this morning so will be loading up on junk today!! Serious effort to lose weight starts next week

Natty1806 · 10/11/2006 11:17

Lovely to hear from JL - 12 weeks already it does seem to fly by (not so sure if it has in your shoes)

Thanks for the baby dust , rubbing myself in it right now

Sorry you have been porrly Mrs - hope you feel better soon. xxx

MrsMcJnr · 10/11/2006 10:33

Hello! Oh JL SO lovely to hear from you, wishing you all the very best and glad to hear that my theory for my own pregnancy re losing weight due to lack of booze has been proved . Stay in touch!!

Ok, well the last couple of days have been rubbish. I should have gone to that class as it would have taken me outside and away from the computer and I might not have got the awful migraine that I got yesterday. I was sick and in bed all morning. Managed some dry wholemeal toast and a banana around 2 and then went for an hour and a half walk to the village and back. Really felt like the fresh air would help and it did. Dinner was chicken noodle soup and more dry toast .

I have bought lots of organice, root veg to make a nice healthy stew and an organic chicken to roast on Sunday. Will be back on track in no time.

Home scales say I stayed the same this week. Well done to all of you who have lost. We all still have time to lose those pounds and get a BFP before Christmas .

(((((hugs))))))

Natty......my 3 pounds from last week have disappeared and I am back to the same weight that I have been now for months!!!!!
Think my scales must have freaked out last week......maybe yours have the same problem eh??!!

It it really only six weeks to go??!!!
Blimy.
I need to stop drinking and get a grip.

Juicylucythe2nd · 10/11/2006 09:51

Hi Girls,

Just popped in to say hello and wish you luck with your Christmas targets (weight loss AND the all important BFP)

I've actually lost weight since I got mine. Combination of no drinking - God it makes such a HUGH difference (Just how much alc was I putting away before ) - and eating less because of ms (although not WHAT I'm eating as that is pure carbs and chocolate).

Got my 12wk scan on Tuesday so wish me luck and here are some pure gold bits of baby gold dust for my dieting chums

Well done on the loses i put on two right six weeks to go until Christmas so i am planning to lose at least 6 pounds starting from......now. x

You all seem to be doing very well, this is going to be my main focus up until Christmas rather than ttc. xxx

indignatio · 10/11/2006 06:55

Plus over 1 hour walking

indignatio · 10/11/2006 06:54

Morning all
yesterday good on food (except no fruit) but bad on drink
2 cups coffee - OK
Not enough water
4 glasses wine
bowl of soup for lunch
1/2 cheesy baked potato and sausage casserole for supper - plus and extra sausage when I got in late evening with the munchies

Good news - lost 1.5 lb this week
bad news AF arrived

ready4motherhood · 09/11/2006 22:15

I feel like I have kinda hijacked this thread... but it's helping to motivate me(after a slow start) to eat better.
Oatcrisp and skimmed milk for breakfast. 1 piece of toast. Cup of tea.
Chicken salad sandwich for lunch and a yoghurt.
Choc slice mid afternoon (naughty treat allowance)
2 chicken fajitas for tea.
just about to settle with a cup of ovaltine before bed.

didn't do great with the water today.

how's everyone else doing??

ready4motherhood · 08/11/2006 21:53

Feeling a bit blue today, so I made a shepherd's pie with broccoli and peas for tea... it was delicious... I topped it with cheese and leeks for that extra bit of comfort!! Utterly stuffed now!!

For lunch I had a sunflower seed and carrot salad, yoghurt and cupasoup.

Mid afternoon snack - kettle chips

Breakfast - Oatcrisp (the bottom of the packet with all the dust - my favourite bit!!) and juice.

No exercise again unless grocery shopping counts?? clutching at straws again!

indignatio · 08/11/2006 19:16

Ok today
2 cups coffee
again better with the water
2 G&T's - and no doubt a glass of wine (or 2)later
1 satsuma
2 egg omlette with cheese and fine herbs
1 slice garlic bread
still to eat - Lasagne and garlic bread - salad if I can scrape some together

MrsMc - shame on you skipping class - like the excuse though
Natty - trampolining is hard work - I'm sure your body required the chinese - always my argument for chocolate

coggy · 08/11/2006 19:05

Oooh Mrsmc be careful you don't get on the slippery slope with me!!!!!

Natty....I would say that any trampolining would be worth a chinese!!!
I did 5 mins on a friends trampet (sp?) and my calves were burning!!!!!

Chips for tea for me......but McCain less than 5% fat so even RC would approve!!!!!

Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 18:59

Just had chinese .....what is wrong with me, hate being slighly fat and yet cannot stop eating the stuff that makes me this way.

Did manage 10 mins on tramoline though.

MrsMcJnr · 08/11/2006 18:19

Didn't manage to make the class, got a phone call just as I needed to leave. Will go back next week though - promise.

Natty, personally, I try not to eat pre-packaged stuff, mainly because it does not satisy me for fill me up so defeats the object but they have their place and are better than having nothing or not enough to eat.

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 13:01

back from lunch had ham and salad sandwich ......followed by a few pringles and more wholenut chocolate. Uh Oh.

Was thinking of trying ww ready meals for lunches next week as they are generally under 350 cals - what do you think? Is this healthy or unhealthy? (with regards to preservatives, salt etc etc)

Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 11:43

Thanks Mrs, boobs are still hurting so not sure the trampoline will help with that but am feeling really bloated today so hopefully will feel better after a bit of exercise.

indignatio · 08/11/2006 11:21

Thanks MrsMcJrn - good luck for the weigh in

MrsMcJnr · 08/11/2006 11:19

Hello, weigh in tonight and hope it's ok .

Ready - Raclette is a French way of cooking, it's a grill on top of a heating element and you put little trays underneath to melt your cheese before pouring it on top of what you've grilled on top. Quite fun but all that cheese isn't too healthy!

Coggy - poor you, get well soon remember, you are meant to feed a cold!

Indignatio - you are too tough on yourself! more water, less coffee and 1hr walking is great.

Natty - you are impressive! I don't know how you can even consider trampolining and toning with AF, I ache all over. I joind you with the cadbury's wholenut choc last night, delicious!

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 11:18

Helps while your drinking it but might make your worse the next day.

LOL at the chart will have to have a look in a min to see how bad you are being.

coggy · 08/11/2006 10:21

How about red wine??!!!

Wish I hadn't put alcohol on my TCOYF chart now!!!!

Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 07:26

Coggy - curry is good for a cold (well that's what i think anyway) x

Natty1806 · 08/11/2006 07:26

Yesterday for tea i have morrocan rice with lamb which was good, but i then followed it with about 8 choc fingers, and half a big bar of cadburys wholenut as you can imagine feel very fat today and only have 2 days to redeem myself and got on the scales this morning and it is not looking good.

Planning to go for a 45 min walk after work and 10 mins on trampoline plus a few toning exercises.

indignatio · 08/11/2006 06:56

Again yesterday not great
Slightly less coffee and more water
1/2 mango 1 satsuma
6 biscuits with cheese for lunch (oops)
Fajitas (inc cheese avocado and soured cream dip)
and again 1/2 bottle wine (PLus some crisps)
Today WILL be better !!

oh 1 hour walking - so that was an improvement

coggy · 07/11/2006 18:27

I'm ill!!!!

Only coldy but a bugger of a sore throat and shivery and t-i-r-e-d....................

Still managing to eat a curry tonight though!!!

ready4motherhood · 07/11/2006 16:23

Oh yeah, and what is a raclette??? I am intrigued!!
