The wibbly tummies' new thread - (not so) round two...

Not many carbs today, not much snacking, no cola, I'm hopeful this week will see a loss.

I am hoping to be relatively good this weekend and get a loss on Monday. Been good today.

Thanks for the Chinese advice richman i did as you suggested and I kepts away from the prawn cracks and limited my dim sum so fingers crossed.

Hello ladies found you! Marking my place - have struggled to have an empty bladder post BF moment to weigh myself this week. Still walking 10,000+ steps a day (other than weekends when with DH and the car!) and noticing rapid downsizing in the jeans department so fingers crossed!

Welcome monkeys. Yes, always room for another. The attrition rate on this thread has been pretty high, but there are a few if us hanging on in hope.

...I probably should have said DD2 is 20wks.

Hi ladies, room for a small one? Well, more of a medium-to-large one! I haven't actually weighed myself for ages, and DD2 is asleep in the room that the scales are in (convenient, that...!) but I know I am way over my pre pregnancy weight. I just feel so hungry all the time now that I'm breast feeding and I'm craving the things that really didn't tempt me that much before - cake, fudge, chocolate... Our main meals are fairly healthy, I think my weight loss method will have to be to axe the cakes etc... or some of them at least! And I'm starting a food diary tomorrow.

I appreciate all the carrot endorsing comments above - last week I accidentally ordered 3kg of carrots on my online grocery order (it could happen to anyone!) so I've had a rather carrot-heavy diet recently. Unfortunately that includes a lot of carrot cake. Right, off to munch some carrots.

oh no nano I haven't had any alcohol yet but was worried it might be quite pointy! will we have to drink neat gin? so far I have avoided eating anything but am getting hungrier and hungrier. think ds2 is having a growth spurt - usually affects my appetite. I've had a week of feeling hungry - surely my stomach capacity will shrink soon?

crazy - was my first day yesterday. Got half way through and thought 'this is easy', but then got to six, was starving, baby crying, glass of wine took up about half my remaining points, and I changed my mind!
Erm, dunno on food - go for walk? Is a distraction and you earn points to eat? Can you reduce evening meal?

I'm so hungry!!! I've got 16 points left today which will be used up at supper, I've eaten so much fruit and veg I'm worried I'm going to wind up with a serious wind problem and I'm still so hungry! it's nearly 5hrs til supper, help!

I've lost 2lb after my first week of ww!!! after all my silly earlier shenanigans that puts me at 11st 5.5lb! very proud of myself. now to figure out new ways of cooking and eating...

Crazy I also try to limit carbs, especially in the evening. As a result my diet is pretty boring, and I do cook separately for the kids as DS eats at 5.30pm which is too early for me.

I generally have

• Greek salad (tomato, cucumber, green pepper, red onion, low fat feta, black olives)
• Baked salmon with salad
• Baked white fish with bok choi
• Chicken breast in parma ham with spinach
• omelette (ham and mushroom) and salad

Sophia- not too bad at Chinese= avoid fried rice and fried noodles and anything in sweet and sour sauce and the lemon chicken/ spring rolls which tend to be deep fried. The duck with pancakes isn't too bad a choice. Things in a soup base (soup noodles, wonton soup) are usually a good choice and stir fried veg/ tofu in oyster sauce/ garlic sauce.

I had a midweek weigh in today as on holiday tomorrow with no scales. Still 10 stone. Am going to try to maintain until next weigh in on the 18th but dont feel massively optimistic, mainly as I suspect we'll be hitting the vino. Going to take myself a bottle of vodka and drink vodka, fresh lime and soda rather than beer.

Am here!

Down at 12 stone, first stretch done. Now to into the 11s!

We are off out tomorrow night.

What is not so bad at Chinese?

argh carbs use up so many points on ww! all my meals are based around carbs! I'm too tired to think creatively about cooking and eating; I have my repertoire, which ds1 generally eats, and I can't faff around cooking separate meals for myself!

what does everyone else do?

Signed up to ww online last night - quidco have a code which means the first three months are effectively free. I guess I'll be eating lots of free carrot sticks...

thanks for the tips. anything to stop feeling so hungry, especially whilst so tired and now with evil cold.

did a sneaky interim weigh-in, 5 days into ww and I seem to have dropped 2lb! my weigh in day is thurs now as that's when I started ww, so am excited to see then! it'll make all the lack of cake so worth it...

it's interesting though how much I'd got used to eating so much more than I needed. it's quite a struggle adjusting back down and seeing it was me being unreasonable, not ww! doh.

Well Done everyone! I find carrots more filling than fruit too. I also have snack a jacks or quavers to fill a crisp-shaped hole in my day. Ahhh I do love crisps.

Weighed in and stayed the same this week - 9 stone 7. I'm not at all surprised as I've had a bad week food-wise, and not been out with the pram as much as usual.

However, I am back in all my pre pregnancy jeans, including my topshop ultra skinnys!!

2 weeks until I go dress shopping for SIL's wedding... Hopefully get another couple of pounds off.

Thanks pasties. Weighed in at 57.7 kg, up 0.7kg or about 1.5lb from last weigh in and about the same down from start weight. Feb needs to be the month I kick into gear! Off to register for online ww.

Yes, I love a raw carrot, and I find a banana nice and flling :)

good luck nanoninja, and well done Pennielane.

I was pretty good yeaterday, that felt good after my awful day on Sunday. I managed to snack on healthy things and avoided choc and fizzy drink. I did have pasta though, so tonight I might try and have cauliflower instead of pasta. really depends if i can make it to the supermarket and if i remember to buy some!!

Hi everyone. I've been away from home for the past ten days or so. Back now, will weigh in tomorrow, pretty much dreading it. Had ten days of more food, less exercise than normal. Am also wondering about weight watchers...

crazy I find raw veg (carrot, cucumber, celery) is more filling than fruit-perhaps because the sugar content is lower so it doesn't spike your blood sugar. Eating sweet stuff, even if its fruit, often just makes me want more sweet stuff.
