Lose the baby weight!

I know what you mean about the ring. Maybe it was just from the normal daily bloat? I know my fingers swell up normally during the day after I wake up but then they seem to go back down at night. You could try putting it on then?

I really need to invest in a scale. All I have is the one in MIL's bathroom, but I hate using it since its one of those sliding weight ones. I really need to get a digital.

Oh and I accepted your friend request!


As in the type they use at the doctor's office? Those are awesome! LOL I'm sure they're probably the most accurate type. I went and bought a battery for my digital (and a back up for next time... lol). I jumped on just to see where I was, and I was at 208 (dressed). So I guess the other scale we had was pretty accurate. (it's one of the old non-digital kind)

My fingers actually do the opposite... they swell during the night, and are worst in the morning. At least during/after pregnancy. And I've tried my ring at all hours, it doesn't fit yet at any point. It's getting close, but not there yet. I'm still retaining water. If I sit with my legs pushed up against something, I still get a good dent from it as well.
 
Hi girls :wave:
Hope you're both doing well.
Im finding it hard to get back to MFP but will start again with it tomorrow - the problem is if i have any bad snacks it takes away my motivation to track what im eating, oops. I will get better tho & Im doing good on exercise front - sticking with the 30 day squat challenge & either getting out for walk or doing a leslie samsone walk at home vid (youtube) each day. Im good at having a healthy breakfast but then by lunchtime im tired, have been feeding loads and just grab whatever is at hand.

I only have old non digital scales but i am a couple of pounds down :-)

I understand the struggle as far as losing motivation once I've made some poor choices. Just don't give up! There's nothing worse than looking back a year later and wondering where you could have been had you stuck with it!

I was 201 this morning according to both scales (although my digital is still on the fritz). So close to "One"derland! I may re-evaluate my goal of 190 and shoot for 180 instead...
 
Thanks Kaly and I am going to stick at it, thank you for encouraging me, it really helps! Well done getting your weight down. You are doing amazingly! I hope you have rewards in mind when you get to 200 & then 190 :-)
Im going to have to think of reward for first half stone off, that might help :)

Rewards are a good thing! My reward for hitting 190 is going to be new clothes, because at that point I'm going to need some! :haha:

If I get down to 180, I might get my hair cut and highlighted.

I'm finding that I'm more successful if I plan my meal ahead of time. I'll sit down the night before, enter everything into MFP and see where it puts me and then adjust the amounts accordingly. Works like a charm (when I remember to do it...lol)

I'm managing to control my sweet cravings with flavored water, coffee (decaf, since I'm nursing) and if I'm really craving something sweet to eat: non-fat vanilla yogurt with granola, raisins, etc... The biggest thing I have to be careful with is my carbs. I LOVE breads and such, and I don't eat enough healthy veggies and protein.
 
Hey ladies! Sorry about this but I am going to quit my diet till I'm making at least 800ml a day. I really took a hit on my supply.
 
Hiya Kiwi, supply is king so you are definitely doing the right thing. Im mostly bfing so not sure what impact is on supply. Out of interest - what had u reduced cal intake to?
All the best xx
 
Kiwi, Your baby girl is so cute and most important, hope she is getting stronger every day xx

Thank you so much! :hugs: I think she is adorable as well hehe <3.

I had reduced it to 1200-1500 calories. When I increased it to eating throughout the day and not really minding my calories I am up to about 100ml a pump now. That is 40-60ml more each time than I was getting before so I think its working!

Oh goodness, that is a drastic cut. I aim for 1500, but I always go over with snacks, so I bring in from 1800-2000 calories, probably! Definitely baby first! :thumbup:
