Lose weight 27

1HANNAH

KPC - glad that the weigh in wasn't as bad as it could have been and good luck for the coming week. (and I didn't get too wet thanks! lol)

Kenny - sorry to hear that you are struggling sounds like the 6 mini meals could help.

Missy - your post about how much better you FEEL really helped me yesterday as my sister is also doing RC with me but feels like she is wasting her time as she is already confident in herself whilst dressed but even if she loses the weight she won't be happy with all her strecth marks etc so it was just good timing for your post for me to remind her how much better she can feel rather then just concentrating on the look.

mazza - great loss well done :j

I did ok yesterday but ate 2 pink & whites just before bed when I didn't really need or want them only 100 cals but I wish I hadn't done it. Even with that I was still ok calorie wise and ended the day 48 cals under my allowance. Weigh in for me is tomorrow so am really trying to have a good day today.

Todays plan
2 x RC exercise classes (1 with mum this morning & 1 tonight with sis)
B- ready brek
L - sausage, potato peas & salad cream
T - chicken, veg, potato
supper - pineapple & melon

Hope everyone has a good day x

As promised, here's my 6 meal a day eating plan for anyone who's interested

I start with dividing my daily calorie allowance into 6, but making one of them a bit bigger than the others (so that I can have one larger meal a day). For me this is generally 2000/day, so I do 5x 300 cal and 1x 500 cal. If I was closer to 1500/day I think I'd prefer to split it into 5 rather than 6.

Then take the times of my first and last meals, and divide the day into equal segments, so that the meals are evenly spaced.

It doesn't have to be exact and I go by my appetite & fuel needs for exercise as well. I aim for my 5-a-day, carbs before exercise, carbs & protein after exercise, and treats most days.

It's not much different to 3 meals a day plus snacks, but I find by making the meals more even and frequent (rather than big meals & smaller snacks), I am not tempted to eat anything extra. By the time I start feeling slightly hungry, it's generally only about 15 minutes until the next meal!

9AM - normal breakfast, for me usually cereal or toast, with a yoghurt drink. I often go a bit over the 300 cal here, so the next meal is usually smaller.

11AM - this one is usually (but not always) the not-so-healthy one! Sometimes some baked crisps and nuts, sometimes sweets or chocolate - if I'm out exercising I might take a multigrain bar & some jelly babies or similar.

1PM - cooked main meal of approx 500 cal - I'm flexible about timings for the main meal, so it could be swapped for one of the later times too. Once a week or so, I'll want a bigger meal so this becomes 800 cal and the next meal skipped or remaining meals reduced.

3PM - this can be dessert & fruit after the main meal, 2 hours might seem a long time to wait, but it's not if you take your time with the previous meal, clear away afterwards and do a few household jobs in between.

5PM - easy healthy snack meal, something like cold chicken & salad, ryvita & salad. If there are spare calories from earlier, they can be added on to make this meal a bit more substantial.

7PM - this is usually cereal or toast, whichever one I didn't have for breakfast, or something like porridge with a small glass of milk.

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a good week.

STS this week. Although that being said I do feel like some of the clothes which were tight on my previously do feel a bit looser this week, so at least in my mind there has been a lose somewhere.

i should be eating around 1800-2000 a day, but im also exercising at least 40 mins to an hour of cardio 3 times per week, prob burns around 300/400 calories mark (i think ive no ideA)

i may try this plan to see if it helps me, i can only hope, im going away for a long weekend with pals in 5 weeks and so want to look better, think ill have to up intensity in the gym while cutting time..........

just get the feeling im in over my head..........

Kenny I set my intake and exercise levels and then try to stick to them for 4 weeks. If after 4 weeks it's not working, I will tweak something and try that for the next 4 weeks, then review again. I have to alter calorie intake each time I change my weekly exercise levels. Luckily I've learnt to have loads of patience! I quite enjoy it really, because all the time I'm learning more about what works for me... and it doesn't necessarily match up to what it says in the books
