    Usually I wear baggy stuff around the house as i'm usually cleaning and always end up with baby sick (amongst other things!) down myself, but today when I was heading out, I put on a nice top and trousers- the tops hanging away down my shoulders and doesn't cling at all anymore, and i don't even have to unbutton the trousers to take them off anymore!!!! think i will be adding these to my "baggy clothes collection"!!
    The scales say I've only lost 6lbs, but as long as im losing it in inches, i dont care. I just need to find the time to exercise now.
    What kind of exercise do u lot do in the house?

    I recently bought a cross trainer off ebay for £33 :T
    Its fun to use too.

    unfortunately tho i dont use it.

    The same with me onewing, i have lost under a stone on the scales but lots of inches, it definately looks more than 13lb.

    I am craving a big sticky bun or cake and custard so am going to have to rustle up some pancakes.

    Great info Ted, dont know if i'm having enough tho, will have to up my consumption.
  • Angel,
    I would think that with two little ones to look after, a)that would be all the exercise you would need and b) you wouldn't have time to do anything else. I remember trying to exercise when I had two little ones but because I was breast feeding, it wasn't very successful (without going into too much detail!)

    BTW, how long does a 100g bar of dark chocolate last with most peeps? Mine is about a week. Is that good, bad, or indifferent? (or does no-one else notice!)

    Good.. its bleedin marvellous :T
    Some peeps on here (that will remain un-named ;) ) have been known to scoff the lot in a sitting:rotfl:

    I usually have 1 or 2 squares with a cup of coffee.


    Eewww, my 'pancake' from page one, was not nice, twas like scrambled egg with sweet cherry sauce, not a good combo, i will stick to the almond flour ones off youtube in future, although, would prob be nice in a savoury dish.

    I dont do any exercise right now, im still just working on getting my head around the diet. once ive been good for about a month i might try introducing some running into my routine. Thats if i can be bothered :rotfl:i should do something really its just finding the time.

    I've been off-plan for like the whole of May, so it's time to start trying properly again. By some miracle, I haven't actually put on any weight :confused:

    I found some glittery star stickers indoors so I've made a health and fitness star chart! We'll see if this helps me stick to my plan.

    Does anyone have a good quiche recipe? The one listed in the recipe list, I can't find for some reason.

    There's this one on youtube, I would prob use cream instead of the milk tho.
    Or you could make Mercy's 'fudge' which is like quiche.
