Bellys to Bumps

It's ok. You can gain 42 instead ^^

yep I'll second that

 

[Lisa84]

Ooft no thanks. Im gonna try to be really good if i fall pg and try and live by 'what i eat my baby eats'. I know that cravings cant be helped tho.

Feels weird talking about being pg like it could actually be a possibility soon Cran i really admired how well you did food wise during your pregnancy and would love to be as good as you xxx

 

[lovie]

me too! cran you were so so good! i have braved looking into how much you are allowed/supposed to gain in pregnancy.

 

[cranberry987]

Luckily I craved tomatoes and cucumber. Would have been a different story if it was cream buns I was craving. I did have a bit f a love affair with jaffa cakes. I know there's one of those yards of Jaffa cakes somewhere in the house. Rich bought it me for Xmas but I didn't get it! I think they're about 3 syns each tho so totally not worth it. I'd have to eat an entire packet once I opened it.

 

[Lisa84]

Hahaha i remember that affair well xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I luckily craved cleaning products when I was pg. I didn't eat the best but didn't gain any extra weight (I think xander took all the extra lol)

I was supposed to start my diet again in January but never got round to it

Emmy I completely understand what you mean. We were all do close last year it was lovely! This years 42lb Athon will be awesome! And lovie and Lisa can be cheerleaders now, and by the end of the year there'll be loads of cheerleaders and just me and cran slimming away while everyone else grows lovely bumpys!

Off to do my starting WI eeeek!

 

[EmmyReece]

yay so glad you know what I meant. I was worrying that it was going to come across totally wrong and sound like I was jealous and bitchy about you guys having your beautiful babies and bfps Yeah I'd like mine, but the time just isn't right yet, and when it's meant to be it'll happen

Extra Easy day for me today. Was all ready to throw it out the window because Chris still hasn't been paid But Cran reminded me that it was better to stick at it

Breakfast - banana and toast (hexb and 3 syns)
Snack - apple
Lunch - Mushroom soup
Dinner - chilli con carne, rice and cheese (hexa)
Snack - hot choc (7 syns)
Syns for today - 10

 

[Lil_Pixie]

So I've done my WI and I'll share the damage

13st 5lb (bmi 36)

42 lb target -

10st 5lb (bmi 28)

Gulp!

 

[Lisa84]

We can do it pix xx

 

[cranberry987]

I lost 1.5 which is 1 st 9 now and 10% lost! I've also broken the stone barrier. Next target is 2st I guess.

Starting to get to that point ina diet tho when you've been doing it a few weeks and just want a good old fashioned pig out. Know what I mean? Just want a big splurge to get it out of my system. I'm going to try and resist but if I find myself picking then its better to just get it over with tbh.

Been good tho today. Might go for a walk in a bit.

 

[EmmyReece]

that's great cran, so chuffed for you getting your 10% award

Good luck pix, as Lisa says we can all do it together

We finally got to go shopping after Chris checked through the bank to check direct debits etc. So I've got a load of fruit in, muller lights, chicken breasts, ham and salady stuff. Enough to easily keep me going for a few days.

So I'm saving the mushroom soup and chilli con carne for tomorrow so it has time to defrost, and instead I'm having pasta and cheese for lunch (just about to go make it) and garlic baked chicken for dinner with salad (am so excited to see how it goes)

 

[cranberry987]

Mmm I need to look up some more recipes. Was thinking about trying diet coke chicken even tho it sounds v odd indeed. Need to shake it up a bit.

 

[EmmyReece]

apparently the diet coke chicken is really nice, am determined to give it a try asap

 

[Lisa84]

Diet coke chicken is yum and so is the sticky chicken off the website

Well done Cran thats fantastic. I know what you mean about the pig out. I had mine at 1 stone. Sometimes like you said its good to have a blow out to get it out of the system. As long as you get right back onit im sure not alot of damage will be done

Well done on your club 10 im dead chuffed for you xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

Oooohhhh have had an idea, when we find a new recipe that we really like we should post it up on here. It might be a good way to try new things and for building up our recipes

I'm dying to try this garlic chicken tonight, the only thing I did different was not put the golden syrup in ...

Spoiler

Garlic baked chicken

4 tbsps of FF natural yoghurt
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tbsp golden syrup (2 syns)
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp cardamon seeds
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
8 chicken breasts
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cut slashes into your chicken breasts and put in the marinade, for as long as you can but at least 1 hour. Cook in oven at 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
Line a tin with foil and put chicken in. Put 5 fl oz of water into the bottom of foil and pour remaining marinade over the top of the chicken.
Bake for about half hour.

I think I might be a little bit in love with you all!! https://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/grouphug.gif Hurrah for Club 42 & it's cheerleaders!

So I haven't shopped for this week yet so I'm just trying to be good with what we've got in the house today. I had a McD's last night as I didn't get to eat until 9.30 - it was ming which was v disappointing! At least that's something I won't be missing!

Well done on the weight loss Cran - you need a sticker like Em's!

I'm off now to have a look at the stuff you sent me Emmy.
