Lets Get Fit and Help our Cycles

[dandybrush]

yep totally stubborn i really hope the weight is all it is...but he has to exercise!! he apparently was going to run yesterday but he came home with a mega headache so hopefully today i can get him out. im not calorie counting atm, but i was for a little bit, i found a site that plans your meals, and i actually think it will make me eat more than im eating

so when i can afford to do the grocery shop it requires im gonna give it a go and see what its like it recommended i eat 1340 calories a day

What site is that? I'm finding it quite difficult to make sure that I have all my calories (without eating of course the choccies). With your 1340 calories, do you have to add on some when you excercise? My gym recommended that I add a further 500 when I workout.

:wave: ladies how are you all today well im just chilling today done a good work out yesterday and done some sit ups my stomach is killing today must off done something right as for my weight i have put 4 pound back on so i am now 12 and half xxxxxx

brit i think the site i use is Aussie https://www.calorieking.com.au/ i use it, i think it has a international option dunno what that would be like (scroll to the bottom) no it doesnt say to eat more when i exercise, i think its only basic, check it out though

Hi everyone! Good job on the losses (and gain)! 1 kg is better than nothing, and it all adds up in the end.

I went to my first WW meeeting yesterday. I'm all set up with the online tools, it must be kinda like that calorie king site. I can already see I am eating too many calories a day! I set my ulitmate goal to be a loss of 27 lbs. I'm really going to stick with it (unless, and hopefully, I get preggers in the meantine).

dandy, I know you had mentioned cholesterol. I just got mine done today at a 'wellness workshop' and it was 199. 200 is considered high! So, I have even more of a reason to get in shape. Also, my blood pressure was 121/93!!! So my bottom number was high. Both of these were a shock to me because I dont' 'feel' unhealthy/overweight. It just confirms to me my long cycles lately must be because of my weight gain. *sigh*

 

[dandybrush]

allie glad you are now aware of whats happening to your body

i honestly didnt think i was doing too bad either, then my dr says i have high cholesterol so i've been eating really good i hope it has dropped when i get my next test done

good luck with sticking with ur calories thingy I hope you can do it for your sake

 

[Allie84]

That's great you've been eating better, dandy.

I mean I don't even know what foods are high in cholestorol? I don't eat red meat at all or eggs that often and I thought that's what did it. Sweets are downfall, so I know I need to shape up on that front!

 

[dandybrush]

dairy fat contributes to, my dr said to cut out dairy fats so i buy all my milk and ice cream and cheese of the low fat variety now, I'll let u know if that lowers it, if not then it will still be up next blood test and ill be stumped

 

[dandybrush]

yeah and baked goods like cakes and biscuits i assume i dont eat them atm very much at all

 

[Allie84]

Hmmm interesting about dairy! Because I've been eating ONLY full fat dairy this month because it's meant to support ovulation.

 

[dandybrush]

thats why i was eating full fait dairy only too!! but to help my cholesterol i've had to give up my full fat stuff and will see if that works

 

[Allie84]

I guess now we know. Maybe I'll just avoid dairy where I can for now.

 

[dandybrush]

i have just realised how much dairy i doo eat daily, i have milk for bfast, and ice cream for desert, and then cheese on a toasted sandwich for lunch and i have yoghurts for snacks if i want so low fat is the best i can do or ill have a milo and milk

i also eat alot of carbs, in my cereal for bfast, sandwich for lunch and rice for dinner. im trying to cut them out but sometimes i just need a filler for my meals... i have salad for lunch where i can, and meat and veges for dinner, but if i dont feel like cooking then i just go with something easy like rice or pasta

 

[Allie84]

I eat cereal and sandwhiches every day, too! I only eat whole grain but it's still a lot of carbs. And like you I snack on yoghurt. I guess the key is everything in moderation.

 

[dandybrush]

yep sure is i buy multigrain bread and brown rice, but refuse to buy brown pasta, it looks horrible

ok im heading off for a walk now :wave:

 

[caz & bob]

:wave: girls how are you all afm been the gym today so i hope i have lost a bit xxxxxxx

 

[dandybrush]

:wave: caz good work on going to the gym, im to lazy to do that I've been walking lots and eating better, have lost about 1.5kg atm but have so much more energy too i think the food and exercise is helping alot

 

[Allie84]

Good job caz and dandy! I've been to the gym twice this week so far. Yesterday I tried pilates....I hated it!!! It was no fun at all. Tomorrow I'm doing yoga (which I know i enjoy) but dragging hubby with me!

 

[dandybrush]

good work allie
