Yeah..from Monday....daily postings!!!!
Got to do something to keep us on the straight and narrow (although you sound like a bit of a star MrsMc !!!)

Have to confess we went to an 'All You Can Eat' restaurant yesterday.............YUMMY!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad that we weren't doing our daily intake this weekend..........t'would be shocking!!!!!

Natty1806 · 04/11/2006 08:03

Yeah feel free.

ready4motherhood · 03/11/2006 21:19

Natty1806 · 03/11/2006 16:24

2 pounds off this week say home scales. Must be the lack of alcohol because I've eaten like a pig. Honestly ladies, had a few sips from a glass of white wine last night and just couldn't drink it - AF better not turn up when I'm off wine!!! Let's all be better next week. Shall we go back to posting our daily food, exercise and alcohol?

Only here for a minute.........can't stop.......

Just to say.....

~Scales say I've put on 3 pounds
(need to get new ones!!!)

~Exercise has been (that's the closest I can get to bad BTW!!!!)

~Alcohol has been (but in a way IYSWIM!!!!!!!)

I'm having a jolly nice time eating out and boozing tho!!!!!!

Will catch up more later.

Natty1806 · 03/11/2006 09:05

I put on a pound and to be honest and not that bothered as i managed to eat loads and not count any calories all week.

However one month of goodness ready for the over eating in December.

Here is a kick from me to all of us who have beeen rubbish recently all must lose a pound by next week .

indignatio · 03/11/2006 08:15

Ok - weighing in with a 1/4 lb loss - really not sure how that happened as I haven't been good all week. What is it about this stage of dieting/time of the year which means we have all (apologies to the exceptions) gone off the rails ? What can be done about it - I need motivation - HELP

pinkranger · 01/11/2006 18:53

mrsmc - Smooth Pate and Oatcakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didnt eat peanuts when i was preg but did eat peanut butter (not load but some) My Ds is fine but rrealised the other day that he will not eat peanuts so werent tottally sure so i made him eat a bit of Diary milk whole nut ---- He loved it !!!!

Natty1806 · 01/11/2006 14:49

I love peanuts.

Not too sure if we make our children have allergies by not giving them these things, i mean if you don't eat peanuts when pregnant when are you brave enough to allow your child to have his first peanut just in case of a reaction?

However when i am pregnant i will be sticking to all the rules

coggy · 01/11/2006 14:43

It is Ready4...............some people are just extra cautious.
My friend and I were pg at the same time........we went out for something to eat when we were both 8 months+ and she asked if the orange juice was pasturised......(????!!!!!)

I'd been drinking any old orange juice......don't know where she got that one from but I had to laugh!!!

ready4motherhood · 01/11/2006 13:02

Darn... I thought I read about nut allergies, but convinced myself that it was peanuts. Boooo.

MrsMcJnr · 01/11/2006 12:47

Ready - my preggers mate refused to eat chocs with nuts in the other day in case the baby has a nut allergy. Seriously limits consumption of most things I like if it is a serious recommendation to avoid nutty things (or things in the vicinity of nuts!)

coggy · 01/11/2006 12:47

LOL MrsMc..........don't worry..we all enjoy reading your cr*p!!!!!!!

All this talk of oatcakes and pate is making me peckish (not really the idea of this thread...... ).......I'm off for lunch!!!!!!

ready4motherhood · 01/11/2006 12:47

Phew!

coggy · 01/11/2006 12:46

Opps.....sorry!!

MrsMcJnr · 01/11/2006 12:45

It's got to be smooth though Pinky, don't like the lumpy, jelly stuff - eeeeghh! (which is funny because I am a crunchy peanut butter girl but I know what those lumps are!), my Mum always mixes sherry in with her bought pates - tastes nice but invariably, they all taste the same after that!!

OP posts:
ready4motherhood · 01/11/2006 12:44

What nuts are you not allowed when PG? Is it just peanuts or there others?? I adore nuts - especially almonds and brazils... please tell me that I am not going to have to give those up?? If I do, then I will just have to eat crisps

coggy · 01/11/2006 12:42

Exactly my thinking........AF arrives and so does the pate and wine and stilton as a consolation prize!!!!!

pinkranger · 01/11/2006 12:40

i seconed that - I LOVE pate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Original poster
MrsMcJnr · 01/11/2006 12:38

Well, I figure that we should eat our fill of pate, things with raw egg in, blue cheese, unpasturised things, nuts (that was a new one for me!) and shellfish whilst we can!!

OP posts:
coggy · 01/11/2006 12:23

LOL at how hopeless we are all being at the moment!!

I have just done some shopping and bought some pate (low-fat version but still high fat!!) and other yummy (and a few naughty things) but I am going to make a MASSIVE effort not to have crisps, cakes and extra snacks that aren't needed as much as possible.

Bought lots of fruit so I'll try that first if I'm peckish!!!

No exercise yet today..........save it for tomorrow I think!!!!

MrsMcJnr · 01/11/2006 11:01

I'm just banking on getting a weight loss when PG as a result of giving up the booze.

Felt like some frazzles this morning so bought Boots low fat version - gone in 10 seconds and now wish I hadn't bothered . I know Coggy already had porridge, muffin, latte and the crisps and it's only 11am. This is what I do when I feel down!
