Hey ladies heres to a good loss this week for us all so far zo good for me!

 

[CocoaOne]

Hi girls!

Well today is the start of a new week. I've weighed in at 151.5lbs, so have updated my ticker. I've lost half of the baby weight which is good to see, shame it's taken me nearly 2 years to do it

Plan today is:
B: Apple, grapes
L: Jacket with beans and salad
D: Cottage pie with veg
Snacks: Apple, satsumas and FF activia
HEs: milk in coffee and cheese in cottage pie (2As as I'm still BF). Haven't decided on a B yet, need to go shopping and get some Alpens or crispbreads or something.
Syns: Prob 7 from Bisto gravy

Have a good day everyone

[MNORBURY]

Well it was as bad as I thought, 8lb on in 3 weeks but I have been exceptionally bad!!! On an up note I won the meeting raffle and bagged myself a hand blender woo hoo! I've no idea what I would use it for though , any ideas?

 

[Lisa84]

Mine gets used makin tons of soup

Didnt manage to weigh myself at my mums last night Might try and pop into the gym tomorrow and weigh myself. I have an FS appointment next week so might wait until then.

Not had the best of days today but not overly bad. Had a small piece of ginger cake at the inlaws and a few quality streets but i have been so good this week i think im safe to count those in my flexible syns xx

 

[CocoaOne]

Well done MNORBURY! I'd make soups with it too. Or healthy smoothies? Fat free yog with bananas, kiwis etc?

Plan for today is:
B: Apple, grapes
L: Leftover cottage pie
D: Chicken curry (from the freezer, made a few weeks ago. No idea on syns, so guessing 5 for the sauce, pretty sure it was less than 200 cals per portion), rice
S: orange, FF activia
HEs: milk in coffee, cheese on cottage pie

 

[jms895]

[LoraLoo]

Hi ladies, been a while since i have been in here! LO is 9 weeks old now and started back at group today, have lost my baby weight but still want to shift another 1 stone 11lb

Im a bit confused as to how many extra HE i can have when BF though, i thought when i was BF Amy it was only 1 extra but when I have googled it seems to be 4 additional HE...but that cant be right, surely? That would be 6 a day on EE plus it says to use the full 15 syns...I'd never lose weight! xx

 

[NickyT75]

hi hun

it goes on the age of your LO - I have 1 extra but my LO is obviously a lot older...

hang on... i'll try & dig the leaflet out that I got given & check for you xx

[NickyT75]

so it looks like you were right & will need to have 5 HEAs per day

try having cups of milky coffee thats how I use mine

I know it sounds like a lot but your body obviously needs the extra calcium so you will still lose weight hun xx
