Oh gawd I’m the same! Angel all week and then the weekend comes round and it’s like I’ve not eaten for days or something. I need to stop treating myself for a good week like I’m a dog
Oh gawd I’m the same! Angel all week and then the weekend comes round and it’s like I’ve not eaten for days or something. I need to stop treating myself for a good week like I’m a dogBack on it! Calorie counted, drank 2.5 litres of water and just been to an Aquafit class — love that it doesn’t actually feel like a workout but you can feel it once you’re out the water
I can be good all week because I can organise my day around my work schedule but everything always goes to shit on the weekend and I end up not being healthy and stuffing my face with crap! Does anyone have any tips for not letting it all go tits up over the weekend?
Planning nice treat dinners. Pizza, curry, fakeaways etc.. honestly I wouldn’t have made any progress if I took each weekend off but eating stuff like that ^ within my calories or eating back a few exercise calories if ive done a really long walk means I feel like I’m not depriving myself or missing out. I will say this was a lot easier when restaurants were closed!Does anyone have any tips for not letting it all go tits up over the weekend?
You look great!!So I was at least 2 stone overweight when I got pregnant but here’s my progress.
Top pics i’m 15 stone 3.5 (heaviest I’ve ever been in my life) bottom pics I’m 12 stone 8. So currently I’m 13 pounds under my pre pregnancy weight.

My target weight is 11 7, which would still have me at overweight so if/once I reach it I’m gonna see how I feel. The mum tum is gonna take some shifting but after having 3 children I’m trying to learn to accept my body shape. Weight always comes off my waist first and then I carry more on my bum and thighs.
Well done! Do you feel fitter and healthier now? I couldn’t believe how much better I felt when I lost weight. You carry it really well I would never have guessed you to be 12.8 from those pictures.So I was at least 2 stone overweight when I got pregnant but here’s my progress.

Yeah I feel like I have so much more energy now. My days are pretty full on with trying to fit in exercise around school runs. But I always feel better once I’ve at least done a decent walk. I always seem to be heavier than I look. The lowest I ever got to after having my first child was 10 stone 7 but I couldn’t maintain it and was literally starving every day so for me around the 11 stone mark is more manageable.Well done!

I think wherever you feel comfortable and can maintain without starving yourself is the ideal weight. I’ve always had a really low weight in mind that I want to be but I realise now I couldn’t have much of a life at that weight so am more realistic now, there’s no point being hungry and miserable life is too short! I’m glad you’re feeling like you have so much more energy now, you look great! XYeah I feel like I have so much more energy now.

I feel you. Tiredness is so difficult to overcome. Food is sometimes the only enjoyable thing when your week is difficult !Lost the plot last week and didn't do a real weigh in this week but have gained 1-2 lbs for sure. I struggle so much when I'm really tired with work, too tired to cook and just getting take aways etc. Haven't been walking much although did manage a couple of spins. I find the tiredness so hard to manage tbh, I can deal with normal cravings etc but the all consuming hunger that comes from being exhausted is too much to resist. Keeping on keeping on though!

Have you got a slow cooker? I find mine great for busy days when I know it’s gonna be a rush making tea later on. Plus there’s always enough to portion out for the next day too, or even freeze.Lost the plot last week and didn't do a real weigh in this week but have gained 1-2 lbs for sure.

I have, but everything I've ever made in it comes out wateryHave you got a slow cooker? I find mine great for busy days when I know it’s gonna be a rush making tea later on. Plus there’s always enough to portion out for the next day too, or even freeze.
My slow cooker said to reduce the liquids in recipes by a third to use in a slow cooker, like stock etc. Might be worth trying thatI have, but everything I've ever made in it comes out watery

Omg that sounds amazing!!!I had dinner out tonight for the first time since September last year. Went miller and Carter, I had the duck parfait, sirloin with chips, garlic Mayo lettuce wedge, beef dripping sauce, truffle Mac n cheese and bone marrow as a side. I had a creme brûlée mini dessert with a coffee afterwards and had two non alcoholic cocktails during my meal
I could explode. Absolutely fantastic but business as usual from tomorrow
