For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg herehere and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

I have still gived up.

I have also cancelled going to book group, not that I've read much of it but I usually still go for the wine and snacks but I am knackered. Dh just said should he take him for a drive, it's a long time since we were driven to drive our children to sleep.

It probably is his skin, he's only had a 40 min nap today instead of usual 2-3 hours so he IS tired.

Boco, that is very sweet.

ds1 - four stone

dd - three stone

ds2 - two stone

I don't think I ate any more or less each time but started off bigger as they went on. With ds1 I went from 8.5 to 12.5 stone. That is half my body weight again.

Avi, that is a fabulous photo. You look amazing.

I wish I had one of me when I was pg. Or BF.

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 20:25

I'm not really a knitter - I do some knitting of soft toys when the fancy takes me but don't do complicated things with interesting colours and shapes. Although I did use to be able to do cabling and things.

I'm not on Ravelry although I have wondered what it is exactly, having noticed other people talking about it.

What's a caramelised lotus biscuit? It sounds yummy.

I am making honey baked lentils for tomorrow's lunch. It is only 85 degrees today, so much better for cooking that tomorrow's predicted 95. Yuck.

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 20:26

MrsC, I went from 8.5 stone to 13 stone with DD (and 9 stone to 13.5 with DS).

Avi - that is a glorious photo!

Is it just me who had a quick peek at Avi's pert bottom in the door reflection?

It was? Ok then. I think mine had dropped a few inches by that stage in pregnancy.

Guadalupe · 14/07/2008 20:45

oh no, Franny did too of course

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 20:45
