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.0

Welcome Goat. If I were you I would seriously low carb for 2 weeks for some quick weight loss. Eat Meat, Cheese and Eggs only! Or do that for 4 days (protein only) then protein + veges. I find that is the quickest way for a special event weight loss. Not a long term thing at all, but will instantly drop 4-5kg.0

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!0

Far out it's hard trying to find a recent photo of myself, baby looks like he's been stung but it'll do.0

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!0 -
Woke this morning with a cold. Nice! Probably getting a bit run down from the disturbed sleep recntly.Feeling a bit rotten so no exercise today. Thanks Denz for reminding me to at. I need a kick up the butt sometimes. Took snacks to work today, raw nuts & dried fruit (just a handful for a serve), and a quarter of one of those 'one square meals'. They are low GI and quite filling.
Didn't really feel like eating dinner but forced down a roasted chicken breast. I need to up my protein ratio I think. What are everyone's carb/protein/fat ratios like?0 -
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.0 -
I upped my protein to 20% and brought down the carbs, but I might change it even more than that. I also try to low carb (complex carbs) in the evenings but do allow some sugars (simple carbs).0

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!!0 -
I upped my protein too as I was struggling not to go over, it lowered my rate of weightloss but it gives me more food options during the day.0

Meg: yep I only have 1/2 the milkshake
I use 250ml Lite milk (115 cal) and 15g choc powder (57 cal) , so 172 if I have the whole thing or 86 for my half. My 5 yr old thinks he is in heaven getting a milk shake most mornings!
high in sugars I guess, but it has def stopped my morning snacking and I think it helps my milk too0 -

Yip, my kids are the same with my smoothies. They think they are in mummy diet heaven!0 -
