Netmummies support!

Hello Netmummies! Well, this is my 21st day on myfitnesspal and I haven't lost a single lb yet so I need motivating! I am doing lots of exercise so my friend said it might be some of my fat turning to muscle which is heavier. Jeans are marginally looser so I'm going to keep on plugging.:frown:

Em just had a quick look at your diary, I think you'd benefit from tracking sodium! You'll be suprised how much there is in alot if foods, it will make you hold onto water weight if you have alot in your diet. Also drink more water, or no added sugar squash, atleast 8 half pint glasses, more if you can! If you do that your body will let go of water from your muscles!

Also take measurements, it's sometimes more of a motivator than the scale! Fat and muscle weight the same however muscle takes up less space so if your clothes are fitting better chances are your loosing inches!!

Wow, its great to see so many netmum's on here :happy:

Well today is a non excercise day for me, i normally do 30 mins circuit training and 20 mins walk but i normally take 2 day's off each week and todays one of them, on a day that i dont excercise i try to be really carefull with calories and keep it as close to my 1350 cals a day recomendation but we ended up at mcdonalds for lunch, i tried to be good and only had a mcchicken sandwich and half of the fries so hopefully that won't do too much damage, gonna keep the cal's low tonight with a baked potatoe for dinner and hopefully i can keep away from the chocolate tonight..:laugh:

4tolose- would you recomend wii zumba?? am thinking of getting it for either the wii or kinect but am really worried i wont be able to do it, im so not a 'dancer', i just have this image of me looking like a complete fool trying to keep up with the routine and then injuring myself badly in the process lol.. Are there beginers levels??
Also what is the calorie burn like, is it as good as working out in the gym or circuit training? I guess i think that dancing wont burn as many calories??

Think I may get the wii zumba then realy like the look of it,

well today iv been out most of the day in town had a top day went to starbucks but had it all in my calories so im realy proud of myself also for lunch I had a baked potato with beans and a diet coke.

And im going to have tuna pasta for dinner now with salad so even though I was out I still kept to it, I think the only thing I havent done is my water so will get onto that now lol

I found the change in eating hard to begin with I wont lie becasue all I was eating was conveniance foods, burgers,chips things like that stuff I could eat and run while doing things for the kids.

But not It doent seem a problem to just do somthing quick and healthy.

I use graze but iv gone off them to be honest I would just rather use the 200 odd calories for somthing else.

Kell graze is a lil box thats sent to you every week its got 4 lil snacks in it and costs 3.50 ish a week.

Hows everyone doing today, im feeling realy good again im sooo glad that iv got all you new freinds to help me along my weight loss, its fab to know that if im feeling bad then I can just come to you lot lol

Hi Im a netmum too
i hadnt thought of looking on their for people who used this site also.

Ive only been an MFP member for 3 days but im finding it really useful as i plan what im going to eat for my lunch and dinner early so i can work out what calories i have left.

Portion sizes are a big thing for me as i tend to cook too much and hate seeing it wasted so i just fill everyones plates!
Ive got a slightly smaller plate that im going to start using for myself so my plate is still full but it wont be as much iykwim.

have got a few more days til the kids go back to school and then ill have more chance to exercise and wont be as tempted to snack or pick.
