Exactly!! That is the attitude. A lb is a lb!! Keep it going!!

babylove123 · 09/01/2007 22:26

Roskva, Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for your body to get a kick start so keep going!

I know, but it's a bit depressing. Bought Prima magazine yesterday because it's got a healthy eating plan which seems sensible: it doesn't ban things, but restricts certain things, and the suggested recipes are easy and some are things I eat anyway, so I'm looking to that for some inspiration. I wish dh would hurry up and polish off the chocolates that are still lurking around!

Thanks for the encouragment i am sure it will be more next week still not come on so that could be it. Not pregnant just done another test. Then ate a bag of chocolate buttons!

babylove123 · 10/01/2007 19:47

That sounds like a good plan, i wish you lots of encouragement!!!

fao babylove
i went for gym induction this evening, instructor said all exercise ok when ttc, only to let them know if i do get pg. hope that helps.

Ready · 11/01/2007 13:21

Anyone know where Natty is?????

babylove123 · 11/01/2007 21:40

Nomore, thanks for that! Let me know how u get on! My sis has bought a couple of exercise DVD's so shes gonna try them and let me know which is good so i can do that!

cedar12 · 12/01/2007 11:03

Still being quite good food wise. I think I also need to up the exercise. I found in the past the best exercise is just go for a quick jog 3-4 times a week. I havent been regularley for about a month and a half. But I use to manage about 15-20 mins a time. Its cheap and dosent take much time out of your day. When I first started i could only manage around the block but even thats better than nothing. I found the gym and exercise dvds to much of an effort. I can fit in a quick jog in after putting dd to bed then be back for eastenders. I got a cold at the moment but as soon as it goes i think i will get the running shoes out again.

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 12/01/2007 14:11

Well, I seem to have got past the urge to eat between meals, just getting used to being hungry . Am about to brave the howlig gale and go for a walk.

Ready · 13/01/2007 14:14

Natty? You out there??

I haven't had the best of weeks, so not looking forward to the scales on Monday but been active, so that might help.

Know what you mean about the gale!! Those force winds do help to make a walk even more beneficial!!

Keep up the good work everyone... we can be trim

cedar12 · 14/01/2007 09:57

Got a horrid cold so healthy eating went a bit out the window last night. We had sausages chips and beans and then apple pie and custard. I blame it on my dh as oven chip are his specialality. But promise then my cold gets better to get out my running shoes.

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 14/01/2007 10:44

Oops, ate half a ginger cake yesterday because dh REALLY upset me. Maybe he should just be h at the moment.

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 15/01/2007 09:39

Yippeeee! I've lost 6 lbs!!!! I thought my jeans were not quite as tight, but I didn't think I'd been that good.

Well done on the 6lbs Roskva!! That is brilliant. Very as I didn't lose anything this week Although I confess I had a naughty weekend, so didn't expect to.

Well done on the 3.5lbs Natty. Don't worry if the slimmingworld scales are not the same, trust the home ones

It think the weather being so cold doesn't help because all I crave is mashed potato and gravy!!!

Cedar12 - ooooh sausages and chips Don't go running until you are better as you will just relapse!!

Greedy - hope you've only been greedy for babies, and nothing else?? Where are you??

Babylove - What DVDs has your sis got? I have both of Davina's and they are brilliant.

Hope everyone else is being strict and doing better than I am

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 16/01/2007 21:05

Thanks. Ready. Maybe its worth feeling hungry all the time!

Ready · 18/01/2007 17:58

I did some exercise. Hold the front page

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 18/01/2007 18:41

Good on you, Ready. I took the dog out - just as well he was on his lead 'cos the wind lifted him off the ground! No chance of the wind lifting me off the ground

Ready · 20/01/2007 14:46

PMSL. Me neither!! I am dreading weighing myself!! Not been very good this week, again. I seriously wonder if I am capable of eating sensibly for longer than a week!

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 21/01/2007 09:57

I find it hard at this time of year - I want warm, stodgy comfort food when it's cold. It's so much easier to eat salad in summer!

Ready · 21/01/2007 13:04

Roskva, is this too personal, but are you ttc?? Only I haven't seen you on any of the ttc threads??

Roskvawantingsomesunshine · 21/01/2007 13:40

I'm getting ready to - was advised to wait a year before even thinking about trying following a rather traumatic c-section. So in the 6 months I have left to wait, I figure I should try to get fit and healthy. I hope you don't mind me being on this thread.

iwillbepgbydec07 · 21/01/2007 14:50
