I steer away from pictures as well, it’s just awful!
Well, ok meals here but been snacking again. According to mfp I’ve had 2123 cals but I am breastfeeding a lot so I think I’ve earnt 300 back again.
My parents are staying with us at the weekend so that’s likely to be mostly food! Need to not smack tomorrow or Friday to help balance it!
Well done today everyone

itsBritneyBeach · 01/08/2018 22:36

@SBDB you're breastfeeding, you can be gentle on yourself Thanks well done!

itsBritneyBeach · 01/08/2018 22:37

@happytobemrsg thanks so much! I'm hoping to be a size 12 by mid September Grin I need to drop one more size! Come onnnnnn

SBDB · 01/08/2018 22:39

Thanks Britney, problem is I’m too gentle on myself which results in much scoffing of chocolate-because I’m breastfeeding-therefore what was a little treat becomes a big hinge which cannot be good for me! I think I need healthier snacks to hand for when I’m stuck on the sofa feeding instead of crisps and chocolate. Anyone got any ideas of healthy stuff I can grab one handed? I’ve got fruit but it gets a bit boring lol!!

Ethiopianflower · 01/08/2018 23:13

You are doing amazing sbdb to be making these changes while breastfeeding. Nice healthy treats that you could have in a bowl beside you that I really like are: chopped strawberries with candarel sweetener sprinkled over - yum!!! Or mashed banana with a law fat yogurt mixed up together - also yum. Chopped carrots and cucumber and dip them into hummus or tuna with lighter than light mayonnaise. They are my go to snacks - low in calories and delicious. Just need to prep in advance of feeding.

Morning all, Hope you are all doing ok. I'm doing fine still and managing to stay on track. Had the best nights sleep last night. Feels like forever since I slept like that. Up at 5:30 this morning doing my usual 20 min plod for exercise. Just had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and ready for the day. Wishing you all a fab day and keep up the great work. You are doing amazing, even if you think its going tits up. You are still here and trying and that's what counts xx

Opheliasgoldenwine · 02/08/2018 13:45

Sorry I've not been on, the last few days I've fell off and been ran over by the wagon Sad Back on it today, have gained 2lb Sad

itsBritneyBeach · 02/08/2018 15:34

Come on ladies, we can do this. We're all here and we all stumble!

I am trying to make macarons for a cake but I am on batch number three and I'm very close to smashing my whisk into my eyes and turning it on GrinAngry

Also going to nip to Iceland and get some frozen macarons as a back up. I HATE making macarons. HATE IT

Ethiopianflower · 02/08/2018 19:22

I had THE most delicious bag of crisps today - my drug of choice. I enjoyed every single mouthful of them!!! However I did want about another 6 packets after I finished it. Had a carrot 🥕 instead!!!!

happytobemrsg · 02/08/2018 20:35

Well done vote only having one bag @Ethiopianflower, crisps are my weakness too!

You can do this @Opheliasgoldenwine! A couple of bad days don't mean you are back at square one. We're all here to keep you going!

I stupidly weighed myself AGAIN but I'm very pleased to say that I'm the lightest I've been for about 2 years!!! Woop!

Ethiopianflower · 02/08/2018 20:57

Well done happyt - that is fantastic - you must be thrilled!!! Super achievement. Orphelia - we have stopped the wagon for you and are ready for you to hop back on again - you can do it!!! We have all been that soldier. I will be this weekend - Heading to stay with the in laws and will be fed up within an inch of my life and you cannot say no thanks to my mother in law!!

SBDB · 02/08/2018 22:37

Well done happy that’s great news. I had a good day today and am on 1676 cals. Kept away from the snacks and listened to my body when I only fancied a light tea rather than cooking and eating for the sake of it. Hoping it’ll reflect on the scales!
Well done everyone, we can do this!!!

Weighed myself this morning and have lost 2 pounds since Monday. Woo hoo! Must keep on it now. Really want to be in the next stone bracket next week. Feeling better for it. So far that’s 7lb in a month. Must carry on working hard.

Im certainly not weighing today as ive my period on
