[Arimeh]

Kaz - are you serious?!!?!?!?! wearing BOTH of them?!?!!?!?!? Christ - thats 17.5kg of extra weight - my back would never withstand it!!!!

Geez woman.. what are you trying to do to me.. lol

[Kazbah]

Or you could wear one and DH the other ;0

[Papillon]

lol.. whats your diet involve?

[Arimeh]

Missy - its just a diet that I made up based on a daily allowance of 1200 calories. It has the allocated amounts of stuff (yes i weigh everything!) so its fiddly, but it works. Meals are like.. let me think.. stir fry.... home made pizza... chicken salad with cashews and almonds (thats my fav!)... baked beans on toast.. steak and vegies.. fish and vegies...uh.. thats all I can remember off the top of my head.. lunches are like tomato and cheese on corn thins or crispbread.... tuna salad.. ham and cheese toasted sangas.... breakfast is usually weetbix (cos i like them) or egg on toast.. avocado on toast.. snacks are biscuits, fruit.. chocolate mousse.

yup.. love my diet.. lol

Kaz - hmm.. that would mean getting DH to try and find the time to go for a walk.. so much busier with two kids now..

Ari- sounds quite good... if you find or get a copy of it, please let me know, would be interested to have a copy!!!!!

[Arimeh]

I can email you a copy - thanks to Spice I have it back!!!

[Aimz]

Oooh me too please! I've been trying to find a 1200 calorie a day diet that suits but nothing so far. Pizza and baked beans sounds right up my ally!! I will PM you my email address!

Thats the diet I grabbed off spice I think it was a while back, it was really good and easy as and it works. I lost 5 kilos on it although I regained it, I have bad willpower

[Lea79]

spice - trips to the beach and park with the kids would be equal or more to an hours walk especially if you have a 3 yr old!

Hi Im not losing weight for ttc more so to keep up when my little man gets moving! Im currently 97kgs down from 108kgs when I was pregnant. So yay for that. I wanna get down to the 70kg mark so I have to move my butt. I go to gym 3 times a wk for an hour each time (which is amazing cz before that Id never exercised a day in my life!).

Arimeh- any chance I can get a copy of that eating plan?? my email is rhybaby@hotmail.com
Thanks

[Kazbah]

Well done on the weight loss so far! A loss of 11kg in 3 months - that's brillo!

So you're looking at 70kg, what time-frame? If you're wondering when your little man will start running, that happened for me at around 8 months - he was crawling really fast then. Now he's running, and has been since around 10 months!

[Lea79]

Congrats on the weightloss! You've done amazingly well in 3 months on top of caring for a new baby! I'm aiming to lose 10kg by xmas! Nice to meet you anyways

Thanks Ari.. thats awesome..

But, can you help me alter it slightly.. and when i say help i just me more guide me. I dont eat egg's or cheese. I dont eat fish/tuna/pork/veal and im not a fan of cheerio's.

Can i replace cheerio's with cornflakes?

veal/pork with chicken/lamb/beef?

baked beans- can it be the flavoured ones such as bbq ? (yes, due to my fussy ways they are the only ones i eat)

OH and what can replace avocado?

he he he he thanks

Its a great start for sure

hmmm ok - cheerios are 110 calories per 30g serve. check on the cornflakes box to see what they are. If they are in kj's - just divide it by 4.
veal/pork can be replaced with chicken and beef - but lay off the lamb ...
baked beans - best they are the plain ones - but if you have the bbq ones - check what the calories are on the side -and just go without biscuits or something that day.
replacing avocado... hmm... ok... from memory avo is pretty high in calories so you could probably get away with having some tomato on toast, or some banana? (Mmmmmm banana on toast.. yummooo)
Can't help you with the tuna though. Maybe have 75g of chicken instead of tuna?? I just chucked some different things in the menu so we wouldn't get too bored!!!!

Hope that helps.

[Papillon]

Oh dontr get me wrong. its going to really help me big time... im just the fussiest person you will ever meet! i hate it but i am..

i love it Ari... i actually feel good, like i have something to follow and other's to do it with which is good. AND they are food's i can feed the haud! lol

[Aimz]

Mel I'm starting the diet on Monday. Monday's always seem like a good day to start things!

I love everything that you've put on the diet so there will be no problems following it!

[Arimeh]

Amy - sounds great !!!
I'm back on it.. maybe tomorrow.. depending on how quickly I can finish the chocolate in the fridge.. pmsl...
I'm going for a walk today though - putting DS in the pram and putting DD in the carrier.. that should work...... well thats my plan.. whether or not I get there is another thing altogether.. lol
