I'm a SAHM of 3. A 7 year old girl, 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl. I have about 2 stone I'd ideally like to lose. I'm active on here but taking a little break till I get my Crohns under control. I'm nearly there so like to be logging food again after Christmas. I'm always on though and try to lend support. Everyone…

Yeah, if you update your weight ever so often your cals will decrease. If your struggling to meet your goals maybe try prelogging. Add loads of calorie dense foods to your day, I always find nuts are great for using up cals.

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Plug all your info in here to double check. I'm sure its right though :smiley:

Even though this thread has a kinda bad feeling now I'll give an answer to the question you asked. For me the number 1 'trick' (other than the obvious of a calorie deficit) is....prelogging. It allows me to know exactly what I'll be eating that day, around what amount I need to eat to fill my day and get my macros right.…

Ohh ha ha. I see now its a week old! Still she wasn't logging properly for more than the week :wink:

I took a look at your diary and you haven't logged for most of the last 2 weeks. Maybe log everything (weighed and measured) everyday and see what happens. If your anything like me you are eating more than you think.

Ohh I meant to say, lunch looks very small and unbalanced to me. I'd add some salad, chicken/beef/ham or such to your bread.

Overall to me your food looks fine. Rating it (as you asked) I'd probably give it 5/10. The reasons being it does seem a little bland for my taste and a little dry. Maybe add some variety. Eventually the same thing during week days will get old and the cravings will kick in. Add a little more colour (peppers, avocado,…

This is kinda what I was saying on your wall. I'm gonna try it myself. I know I'll be hungry for a few days, and probably crave the shite I love to eat, but it'll level out.

If you feel you need to go to ER go now. They can give you medications if needs be to tide you over until the pharmacy opens.

I hate to think how this thread will end up in a few hrs with words like 'clean eating' and 'plateau' mentioned lol. But anyway I think just start weighing and measuring your food again, log it accurately and you'll do okay. Eat back most of your exercise calories too to fuel your workouts. Best of luck x

Feel free to add me too anyone. I've 3 kids - 7yr old, 3yr old and a 11mnth old. Its manic at times!

I am stuck on Pukka 3 mint tea at the minute. A new company in Donegal does a lovely apple and mint tea as well, its delish!

Yes. Any fluid (bar alcohol I think) can be counted as water intake. Including fruit juices, teas, coffee, soup, diluted water.......

Was wondering that too. I followed her way back.

198lb @ 5ft 8" Worst time of my life. I had just given birth to my baby and she was very very sick. They transfered her to Crumlin Childrens hospital in Dublin (4hrs from home). I had to travel down with her, following behind in my car with my husband. When we got to Crumlin we were told to expect the worst. She had NEC…

If these professionals have stated that someone is literally killing you then surely they should be able to help you put yourself in a safe place. Also I'm sure your mom isn't forcefeeding you masses and masses of food. Try reducing portions, eating things that are easy to prepare for yourself (salads, soups, stir-fries…

Why did I look at the pizza thread :(

Yay!!!!

Ohh thanks for this!!!

Why is my wine not cold, its been in the fridge all day?

You look great!! You don't need to look like your in your 20's. Just make the most of what you have, moisturise, eat well, exercise and rest. After looking at your friends list like someone stated above you might want to review alot of the support you have on here!! People with really bad views on diet will not help you xx

He did wrong with stealing snacks and breaking and entering. His view on foods also needs looked at (everything in moderation). I'd probably ground him and give him a massive lecture....but he sounds like a genius!!! What type of robot did he build??

I understand were you are coming with the mentality of ' I ate that I might as well eat everything else'. I used to think and behave like this while dieting. I would eat 'clean' OR I would binge. After reading and reading threads on here I came to realise that as long as my deficit was there it didn't really matter what I…

1 - Crab claws 2 - Winkles 3 - BBQ Dublin bay prawns 4 - BBQ (oak smoked) dry aged steak cooked just over rare. 5 - Every other food known to man except Aubergine :D

What about a calorie dense drink between meals. Something like Ensure.

Love this post. I've just ordered You are your own gym. I've always been annoyed that I have such weak upper body strength, I really want to do a tough mudder but I know I wouldn't be able to haul my body up over things. So this year I am going to work on that and do that race!!!! Thanks for posting. You look amazing!

What about I drink beer with my carbs, I learned today that beer negates everything? Also thanks for this sound advice, saved me going wrong and dying unnecessarily *phew

....oh and you need to dance naked around a open fire in the woods backwards....thats what I heard anyway.

Yup ^^
