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.0 -
Oh what's graze?
I'm pretty good on the food side, i did have trouble at first but seem to be ok on the most part! Altho I have a tendency to binge
I'll go for weeks being good and then have a couple of days going mental eating crap galore!
We tend to eat pretty clean, mostly fresh un processed stuff, but my oh has a thing for chicken so if it's going to be a bad day we will end up with nando's or kfc so usually within cals anyway!
As for the exercise thing, until this year I was exactly the same! I joined the gym many times then left because I rarely went, I just didnt really click with it. Then in Jan I joined up and started training to run 5ks so that gave me a goal! I used the trainers at the gym and started using weights. The past month or so I've not been able to get to the gym as often because my oh started a new job with looooong hours! So I tend to run in the evenings if I can, I regularly do 5k and every now and then take a long run and go for 10k.
At home I've been doing a DVD called 30dat shred, it's a good workout, have to wait till my little man is napping tho!0 -
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 lol0 -
I'm struggling to hit my calorie intake every day, I think this is why I am losing inches but not losing any lbs0
-
That could be true Colleen. Are you feeling full after you've eaten? If you can manage something more maybe have a yogurt or some fruit after your meal.0
-
Even if its just fruit or nuts even there fantastic for caloires and healthy as well colleen.
Well ladies iv just done another 65 mins on the wii fit, dont think iv ever tried so hard at loosing weight before iv got a real kick for it now, and even though I did have a couple of sneeky chip butties lol they were still in my calories I didnt go over.
I LOVE this site0 -
It's great isn't it! Really motivates you when you log things and can see what you are doing.0
-
I do feel full, I have gradually been lowering my portion sizes as this is one of the places I was going wrong before,I still feel as if I am eating loads, I have cut out the chocolate bars which has taken ages as I was addicted lol and Ive replaced with fruit I just dont see where apart from brekkie I can add any more calories without going back to the bad habits I have worked hard to try and get rid off !!0

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.0 -
Morning all how are we all today, welcome any new mummys, this is a fab group so far lets just hope that we can get stronger and stronger.
Well not a good day today food and water wise its fine, BUT its weigh in tomrorrow and its TOM today boooooo. So I dont think my weight loss will be fantastic tomorrow.
I ALWAYS put in when its my TOM, so if I loose 1lb ill be over the moon0 -

I feel your pain, it's nearly TOM for me and i can already feel the change in cravings, i go crazy at TOM month and crave chocolate badly, i'm getting better at managing the cravings and not giving in but i have a feeling this month will be tough but school's back next week so im planning to really throw myself into excercise and start jogging again so hopefully any damage i do over the next few days will be undone by the end of next week.. (fingers crossed)
Anyone else looking forward to school starting so they can get back to excercising properly??0 -

At home I've been doing a DVD called 30dat shred, it's a good workout, have to wait till my little man is napping tho!

Wow... thats fantastic, well done..x
4tolose- the 30 day shred is basically 3 different workouts which you are ment to do for 10 days each so 30 days in total, you do a short warm up then do 3 circutis of 3minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio and 1 minute abs then a cool down, the actual excercise part of it is about 20 mins (i never log warm up or cool down) and generally i burn around 190/200 cals. you can do it over the month as recomended or you can put 2/3 of the workouts together to get a longer workout (i tend to do this), i love it, infact i love Jillian michaels, ive had great results from her dvd's..0 -
WOW 8lbs! thats amazing! I wouldn't care whetcher it was water or not thats fab!0
