Welcome to all our new ladies. Well I've been good and I didn't even have any of the Roses chocolates that one of the patients gave us yesterday. YAY there is a first time for everything!!! I really do struggle on what to have for lunches but now with Mel's meal plan I'm getting my lunches under control too and I'm even feeling better so I actually have some energy to do some exercise. I can't believe I've been on this healthy eating for three weeks now and I've only had a handful of chicken chips. This is the best I've ever gone. I think I just needed the right motivation and what better motivation than TTC.
Charli'smumma - I too have replaced my hot milk milo's with Jarrah hot chocolate which is actually quite yummy. What day is your weigh in?
Ange - Keeping your milk supply adequate is your main priority so definitely don't skip any meals and that what help your weight loss either. Like the other girls have said add more calories and exercise and you should lose weight without affecting your milk.
I can't go back any further, silly computer so hi to all the other ladies.
LOL Charli'smumma - I stand guilty as charged with the milo comment - I am a previous offender of filling a third of the glass with milo and the rest with milk!! I have been off the milo since Monday and I am being really good in that respect. Milk is my weakness - even though I only drink light milk I drink SOO much of it!!
I don't think anyone needs to go drastic when it comes to diets (such as my mum who is on Optifast ONLY for 3 weeks - which is in preparation for lap band surgery). I think if everyone maintains a healthy diet (meat, chicken, fruit, vegies) and plenty of water as well as 30 minutes of cardio EVERY day you will notice some great changes. It's also important not to skip meals (especially for you b/f mums!) and if you can, break your 3 meals up into 6 smaller meals eaten at even intervals throughout the day - this will help speed up your metabolism.
Yeah NurseDan, a while back i was never hungry so wasn't eating properly, it really effected my supply, so i am trying not to skip any meals. Sometimes i just forget! Mel's meal plan sounds good, i pm'd her, hoping she'll email me a copy too!
So i can't have 4 heaped teaspoons anymore???? alright, only 2.
Walked today, about 40min. man i am so unfit, i was huffing and puffing like a cow on heat!
Hmmm, this thread seems to have come to a grinding halt
I'll be honest. I have been quiet as I have not been sticking to my diet as I should be. Plus I've had a sick bubba for the past week so I havent exercised either.
I fell off the wagon too!! I've been on holidays and looking after mum (she had her lap band surgery). MUST get motivated this week - I haven't even stepped on the scales but I'm feeling bloated and awful - excerise is a must starting tomorrow!!!
