Il admit I had to Google what RTDs are 🤣 they are like a ready made protein drink? They look handy to have

@Strudders67 thank you I will look up meal prep and see if there's some handy ones I can throw together when I get time :)

@PAV8888 thanks I am actually planning to try some batch cooking this week which I'm hoping will take the weight off a bit with cooking

@Strudders67 thank you for the reply those ideas are actually very helpful. I didn't actually think of having something like a salad in the fridge. No unfortunately the falling down in evenings and eating wrong things has been happening for a long time doesn't seem to be linked to the exercise. I'd say it's more the…

I realise I'm repeating myself in places apologies 🤣 I'm tired a lot but the exercise seems to be helping that today 🤞I'm worried about my health I'm in the 19stone bracket and 30 years old

@leitchi that makes sense thanks I will do it that way :)

Thanks that's very interesting! Thank you

Is it OK to go over slightly then if needed? 🤔 I have been up all week and suddenly was down 2.5lbs before calorie counting when I actually stick to it at all does seem to have fast effects for me but I do get where your coming from

Exactly am down 2lbs this morning so the 77 over didn't do any harm it seems :)

Great advice thanks I actually did that today I went 77kcals over but its a start and I didn't feel deprived but definitely in control tonight for once

I've seen this happen to someone who had surgery the weightloss was drastic that's when it seems to happen. I also get mistaken for being younger (I'm 30 next month my profile pic is 3 years old) but I actually feel il look younger with weight off. It's making me frumpy if that makes sense. I think its also genetic how…

Thanks for replies everyone very helpful I might try the maintenance calories then drop down actually ease myself in I think its a thing of not believing in myself that I can do it also is a problem. Its all very psychological with me

Update weighed myself this morning am back to nearly pre sickness weight

@fatty2begone thanks hope you feel better too

@JBanx256 I think il try that tomorrow and aim for nutrients

@ToffeeApple71 you are right I should be loading up on the likes of veg soup really. I might actually try to make some soup tomorrow and I have red lentils could do something with them. I made a lentil Dahl before and it was quite nice.

Thanks for advise everyone very helpful tips. I happened to have a few mins to write that while holding my baby over my shoulder burping him earlier. I've a toddler I need to have eyes on at all times as they are into everything and trying to feed them is a struggle as they are gone so fussy and then a small baby who…

Thank you everyone

Thanks everyone I actually met up with a family member 2 days back and they commented that I'd lost weight but I haven't much on scales so maybe iv toned up a bit. I'm trying to get my head around weigh loss being a line that will go up and down a little while decending and relaxing about it a bit but it's hard for me

Thank you all for the replies very helpful am taking it all in 😊

You say more than cutting calories and exercise am I maybe just expecting too much too soon or is there something else I should do? I am down 2lbs today on yesterday so definitely agree with the fluctuation in weight right now

I started off breastfeeding but baby's on formula now. Sleep deprivation doesn't help my will power wasn't great today. Iv 2 kids under 2 they sleep well some nights and not others

I feel like it's slow compared to the past which I know is silly. I'm 28 now and had a c section only 7 weeks ago 3rd baby

I drank a small bit of water and weighed myself again and I was down 1lb can't believe it must be water retention. I had a Chinese takeaway yesterday I went for a healthier option chicken and mushroom but still probably loaded in sodium with the soy sauce in it

Thanks for the replies I felt so put off this morning

Hi I'm 7 weeks pp on 3rd baby have about 5 stone to loose (70lbs) I'm about to turn 29 I'd like to get my weight down before 30

Thank you all so much for your comments. Your insights have been very helpful :)

"Living the dream" sooo mant people used to say that as a resoonse to how are you in my previous workplace. Used to do my head in! 😂
