Okay just finished filling out the food diary for the dietician tomorrow - 4 days completed and bearing in mind that I am allowed 2,450 kcals a day (indeed it is recommended) I have a day and a half's kcals in hand! I feel stuffed and am not looking forward to what they have to say *sigh*

I think I'm going to have to start thinking of some new lunches as I don't seem to be eating enough fruit and veg unless it's a veggie soup day. I don't snack on fruit as it just makes me hungrier. I'm doing fine calorie wise with my meals but it only seems to be main meals that end up containing veg. Does anyone have any interesting ideas?

Me too, I need some ideas that will be portable, interesting and won't go soggy in a tupperware box!!! Roast veg are sooo yum but just go all wilty and yuk in my lunchbox, boo. So I am also on the hunt for ideas!!! Maybe some of you kind peeps could help?

Hello all :hello:
Day 1 for me and so far so good. I am also heartened by the fact that I weighed half a stone less than expected when I weighed myself at the weekend but it is still way, way too much.

Anyway, aims for January are as follows-

1. Walk with Henry everyday- this will mostly be with him in his sling and I'm aiming for 1-2 miles a day at a good pace.
2. Healthy breakfast everyday, five fruit and veg everyday, soup or salad for lunch, only snack on fruit or yogurt during the day.
3. No takeaways
4. No booze (not that hard as the last time I was drunk was NYE 2008)
5. Drink more water

Not very extreme, but as I am BFing my six week old son, this is enough for me for now as I don't want to affect my supply.

I've signed up for the ten mile Great South Run in October, so need to get back into running but I will be doing this very slowly initially as I haven't run (or done anything high impact) for nearly a year :eek:.

have you tried bananas? they should fill you up for longer...

ok for lunch boxes (i loved these)
panini spread with pesto topped with some rocket lettuce, tomato and cheese (or cold meat whatever you want really)
put in the george forman or whatever and cooked for 6 mins ...cut in half left to cool and into the tupperware tub ...lovely ...also a wee handful of nuts is nice to add in (goes well with the pesto)

OH made a chubby comment about me earlier i know he wasn't being mean or anything but it still made me sad i've let myself get to this...

Going to start using a side dish for my dinner from now on though.

hun ((( )) u don't need to eat smaller portions to slim just eat the right things if u eat smaller portions u will get hungry later and more likely reach for unhealthy snacks.
