I impressed one of the gym instructors at my work when I said i was on the crosstrainer for 55 minutes.....................does that mean he didn't think I could do it :rotfl:

    morning everyone x

    feeling really bummed today stepped on the wii and it's telling me i've gained weight again for the second week in a row :( so thats me gained 4lbs in 2 weeks and this is with me going to the gym and recording what i'm eating and staying under 1400 calories so really down at the moment.......hoping it's muscle gain :(

    taking the kids for a walk into town and then we're going bowling so it's be a 5 mile walk all round so will burn off the wimpy burger i have as i'm still having the weekends to myself x x x

  • Morning hun,

    Don't be too down on yourself, I did SW just after i had DS2 and i would have weeks where I would gain even though i had stuck to meal plans etc, and then weeks where i would suddenly lose loads (well 3lb is a lot to me lol) Do you eat the same thing each week. I was eating off the same plan each week and my SW consultant told me to mix it up a bit each time my weight would stick and it worked i eventually would lose again! I also never ate after 9pm and no carbs after 6 pm as your body struggles to break it down apparently! Enjoy your wimpy though :) and like you say you'll burn off the calories x
