BB Challenge Week Two!

[Alison1973]

Hi Girls!

I had a great loss this week but I don't know how much is carried over because I had AF the week before when I weighed in and also being ill on Friday I would've lost some automatically but I don't care, I'll take what I get! Now we have a healthy household again I'm getting back into the exercise this week, did hardly any last week, although did eat well.

For those that had a bad week, forget it, last week is last week and we won't always have good ones. The main thing is we are giving it a go!!!! xx

I haven't weighed in yet. Pretty sure there's no loss again. Must admit, I'm not trying very hard with food. I'm just trying to get into an exercise routine first. One thing at a time! lol. That's what I told DH anyway. His reply was "but losing weight will help you have a baby".. bah.. dam him.. now I feel like I really need to make the effort with my diet AS WELL. hahaha. *sigh*. I think deep down I'm hoping for a BFP so I don't have to worry about my diet for another couple of years cos breastfeeding always keeps the weight off for me.

I will put in more effort this week... and if AF arrives next Tuesday then I'll really step up the effort with food.

Am looking forward to seeing everyone's results... hopefully watching the weight fall off all of you will motivate me!

breastfeeding always keeps the weight off.

Not always true Liz unfortunately! If if were, I probably wouldn't be in this thread lol. For me, when breastfeesing I tend to get stuck at a certain point. I think this is why my losses have been a very small 100g a week. I could go much much stricter with my diet and exercise but I don't want it to be detrimental to breastfeesing. Oh how I wish I was one of those breastfeesing mums who has the weight fall off!

[Liz]

Didn't mean it as a general statement.. it's what's been working for me the last 4 years tho LOL... but since DD dropped a lot of feeds (as in I night weaned her in November) the weight is starting to stack on. Will edit my post

[Laranna]

Aaah ok no worries Liz.

Hi girls

I will pm my results tonight. I have been away. I am not expecting any good news, I fell of the wagon over a weekend away

[Alison1973]

Hi Girls - BF'ing didn't help me, I had a low supply so was only fully BF'ing until 6 weeks and then doing FF top ups before finally giving up at 4 months, was a hard decision but I was only pumping 15 mls a day, ridiculous! Anyway, losing weight the good old fashioned way for me, typical, I was so relying on BF'ing for that! LOL

[Sterla]

BF helped me lose weight after I had DS, but it only helped for a little while... otherwise I wouldn't need to lose quite so much weight. I'm only just starting to get back to what I was before pregnancy now.

[~Kim~]

I'm usually lucky with BFing and weight but it def stalled this time. However saying that Nate is now feeding as often as he was at 6months so hopefully that uses up a few more cals.
I do get extra on CK though....so who knows

Krys you're so right about thinking of other things to distract a craving - thankyou!! Got me through this afternoon.
Made a couple of silly calorie choices today leaving me with very few this afternoon/night. Have to start allocating them better.
Also right about the motivation slipping.....exercise for me.

So my goals this week are;

better calorie choices to make better allocation throughout the day
more conscious effort to exercise most days

[AliBaby]

I had an awful week, food and otherwise no loss... Bring on week 3

Me too hun. I dont know what is wrong with me. I'm really upset about my lack of resisting temptation and willpower.

Lets hope this week is better.

[Arimeh]

Huge s to everyone who thinks they aren't doing very well - or fell off the wagon - tomorrow is a new day - so don't worry about the past, concentrate on what you CAN do, instead of what you SHOULD have done.



Off to the gym!!!

[MrsFabuloso]

I have been for a 45min walk and now I'm having some delish asian style veggie soup with lots of chilli. My nose is running like a tap, but it's YUMMO!!!!

[leckert]

no kg lost for me this last week - been one of those weeks and I'm not sure my headset is quite right for losing a "big" lot of weight yet - I'm more happy if I'm not putting weight on atm - small losses are a bonus. (have to pm my results tomorrow - left the sheet on my desk at school today - have a student teacher with me and he's not comfortable with me expressing in my usual spot so I had to move elsewhere in the library - tutoring room out the back and I'd forgotten that he was coming again today)

2. Centimetres lost

What do you need to do:
1. Get motivated and have a plan!
2. Get yourselves your bathroom scales and tape measure ready!
3. Start eating healthily and taking more exercise
4. PM krysalyss every Monday with your weight and measurements who will post results by Wednesday.

Please weigh yourself in kg's, and measure, in cm's, bust, tummy and hips.

i really need to get my butt into gear again. major blow out on weekend due to my crappy weight loss after puttin in HEAPS of effort. i still did pump though, and have step today. just ate and drank too much. i am going to join tony ferguson or something similar i think today.

(forgot to say congrats to everyone, that list is looking good)!

[MrsFabuloso]

Ooo, some great losses again!! Especially some people's CM's!!! Great job girls, we're doing well!!

Hollo, I know it can be dissappointing if you put in alot of effort for what seems to be minimal outcome, but try not to look at the numbers on the scales, or even the cm's you might be losing and tyr to focus on how you FEEL. Are you feeling better in yourself, does it feel good to be exercising and not eating crap? I feel so much better in myself if I do these things. Especially not eating too much and no unhealthy foods. I just feel lighter and more energetic. Try to be nice to yourself. Losing weight isn't easy, but beating yourself up will just make you feel worse. I haven't been doing really great with eating all the time either. I seem to be having a bad day every 2-3 days, but it's just trying to break out of bad habbits and that can take a while.

[Sterla]

Great results again!!! Well done everyone Every little bit counts!

Went to the gym last night - did a good 20 mins on treadmill, and 10 minutes on the cross trainer (never been on before, was good). Then went for a swim... eventually (Mel ). Going again tonight, so should be good.

[danita]
