Thank you ladies, yeah I know. It just makes me feel down when I know I can do it, I lose some, and then kind of....I don't know - hit a wall. But I'm picking myself back up, shaking my self up and buckling back down to it. Just need to do a bit more exercise I reckon

 

[MommyCandice]

It will come hun.
Slowly but surely.

I am down another 1.4lbs this morning. That is a 5.2lb loss in 3 days. Im feeling great

Somehow after a crappyish day yesterday of nearly 1000 calories in tim hortons coffee and an unknown ammount of calories in dinner last night and cake for dessert and pop at 11pm I still managed to be down .6lbs from yesterday morning granted I did walk for an hour and a half yesterday afternoon for a total of 7.2km carrying my 1.5 yr old but I was so proud of myself when I jumped on the scale this morning.

Now today was hubbys bday and I slept in and didnt eat till dinner and im sure it wasnt overly healthy and I cheated and didnt walk today so I imagine tomorrow morning I will be higher but hoping to be a few lbs lighter next sat morning then I was this morning just in time for a huge potluck bbq next sat and going away sunday so a resteraunt next sunday and take out monday on the way home. So I am hoping if it gets rele bad in a few weeks I can get it straightened out

I would just keep up with the walking You're bound to have days where your food isn't the best but keeping active and trying to keep take out as healthy as you can will help greatly You're doing great!

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Weigh day.......and I maintained

 

[Eve]

At least it's not a gain but I totally get being upset you didn't lose x

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Thanks Eve

 

[MommyCandice]

As I expected I am up 1.8 from yesterday!!! But that cheesecake last night did not help. Oh well its a new day and I will start fresh

 

[Eve]

Yep, a new day

 

[MommyCandice]

So yesterday was a meh day. I didnt end up walking but instead did a little bit of yardwork. I went well over on my calories but somehow this morning I am down 2lbs from yesterday. I am down to 257 which is the lowest I have been since march.
I hope you all are doing well!!!

Ladies I was wondering what your dieting and exercise was like when you were pregnant? Im hoping not to gain I'm around 254 mark at the moment, my diet has been terrible so far and I need to stop, I do no exercise at the moment but i am going to get a treadmill very soon and start doing the low setting of walking on it.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Today has been pretty good. I did a lot of walking around town doing some things, and burnt off a good amount of cals, so I'm happy

 

[hello_kitty]

congrats ladies!

Heather, to be honest I purposely did not eat much during pregnancy because I knew it was very easy to pack on lbs. I didnt starve, but I did watch what I was eating.

 

[Eve]

We went for a walk yesterday and I ate decent, and no snacks at night for me!

When pregnant with my first I was thin (120-5lbs) and gained 40 but walked out 4 days later at 125lbs. With my second I gained around 20lbs or so (can't quite remember right now lol) and lost it all after birth and with my third I gained more and kept it on but it was due to my eating habits big time!

 

[MommyCandice]

So today I had a fair bit more sugar than usual. But I only had about 75-100 more calories than the 1550 mfp says per day but I walked and burnt roughly 400 Cals and then I followed it by doing roughly 40 mins of as strict as possible for me an exercises. I did take 30 sec breaks every few mins as it was hard.it was my first time and I tried 3 different videos. I was only able to do roughly half the exercises per video as being obese it really kicked my butt but i did break a good sweat and my abs are sore.

Do you think it would be OK if I took tomorrow off from an training and just walk my 1 hr 5.5 km a day and do an training every other day till I work up to everyday and get into shape?

 

[Eve]

I think that would be fine, I know some people do their work out 3x a week to start out It will give your body time to adjust and you need some rest days!

 

[MommyCandice]

It paid off. I weighed in this morning at 255.8. Thats 1.6lbs down from yesterday. I know its not to to much and you flucuate from day to day but it feels like a lot to be and I feel amazing just a bit sore from the workout last night

 

[Eve]

I bet it's a good sore yay!

 

[hello_kitty]

mommycandice way to go! 1.6 lbs in a day is awesome!! I seriously mean ot because its been a long time since i lost anything like that. At the moment i havent been doing anything only because i am busy with school. cant wait until the summer to start.
