I'm finding I'm not eating heaps because I am determined to up my water intake (just to click on that little arrow to make the number bigger) so felt quite bloated after lunch! I'm always almost on the verge of dehydration so my body must be thinking 'what the hick!' (as wee DS would say lol)

Hi all - happy new year - I am Back2teo on Ebb - love this site. Was going to join WW until I found out they don't have an android app, and this is the next best thing - and FREE, yay we like free.

I would like to lose 10 kgs. I have put on 3.5 kgs in the last 3 months, waaahhhhh, mainly due to drinking wine everynight, and of course over indulging at Christmas

hello everyone - i'm debsilou on EBB too. I've just joined this and am playing with it - should be good. I used something similar last year and lost quite a bit but put quite a bit back on when I got lazy in the last half of last year..... Had better get my a into g this year though!!

Good going twins+1 - its hard to be motivated when you are feeling blah...
Well I'm still here after a week - YAY, and I have 7 days of food diary. I was a bit slack over the weekend and lost a bit of motivation to diary- even think I started to sabotage myself a bit I think with snacking- but, I am back on track, have remembered most of what I ate over weekend and its not too bad really.
My 6 mth old has not been sleeping well over the last 2 weeks, so I have been up 4-6x a night, and sleeping in chairs or co-sleeping with her - So have been waking up feeling shagged so motivation to exercise has been lacking unless its Wii-based with the kids. I finally squeezed in 45 min of circuit training tonight and feel good for it.
Back to work tomorrow (work 4 short days a week...) got to work out some easy snacks to take to work cos I don't have time to stop and eat (terrible!) and sort out a routine for fitting in daily exercise now.

Oh Kermit (sorry, bad at remembering real names)... when you wake during the night you need fuel during the day. My wise mother always said you either sleep or eat. Hope she sleeps thru soon.

Welcome "newbies" (haha, I have only been here a week!).

Wish DH would do it wiht me jubjub... I think he thinks it is another fad thing I will do for a couple of weeks then stop, but I am hoping to stick with it for 6-12 months.

Heya I joined MFP ages ago to help shed some babyweight before a wedding and now the wedding is in two and a half weeks and I weigh more than when I first joined. I just downloaded the app onto my new phone so will have a good nosy around and see if I can find my inspiration.

Thanks Denz that sounds like good advice, I'm kicking myself a bit but will get over it. I've had a good look around am am feeling pretty confident at the moment, onward and downward and all that!

Great to see so many ebbers on here.

I got the hungry thing too, so I eat toast for breakfast (which I find way more filling than cereal) and then no morning tea and eat at lunch, I am finding snacks really chew through my daily allowance.

I am stoked too, going out for my walks and finally being able to run part of the way (completely unheard of until now) I am trying to do the couch to 5k in conjunction with this, every bit helps!

I mainly look at my calories and try and keep my carbs down for dinner (now that I have finished my quick water loss days).

I have sooo taken to smoothies!!! So filling, satisfies my sweet tooth (feels like icecream for breakfast) and only like 150-250 cals depending on how much milk you put in. I got some cheap strawberries (99c a punnet - thanks Countdown!) and have frozen them. Also frozen apple. So I just chuck in some frozen strawberries, apple, some milk, some ice and some splenda... blend and ENJOY!!! Had one for pudding/evening snack instead of a milo. nom nom nom

There is a whole thread with smoothie recipes on these boards. So gonna get 2nds fruits and freeze em! I am allowed 1700 calories a day, so could have 8 of these. Yumm. Thats like one every hour and a bit.

I am a bit confused by the food actually. Some salads you pick (lettuce, tomato, cucumber type thing) are 200cal a cup and other 50 cal a cup. Really different at times and a little confusing.

Hey fourbees, not challenging you at all just wondering how you get to 90cals for a glass of skim milk and then choc powder on top of it?? Is it because you don't have a whole glass?

I am buying thermo trim shakes and they are $36 a container and they make 96cals with water, so if I can make a shake myself cheaper that has LESS calories then I am interested!!
