    June ~ Antenatal Challenge

    18lb is fine by most accounts, but considering because im short and that makes me nearly 4.5 stone overweight my risk of diabetes (family history and i had gestational diabetes last time) is very high so thats why she is not happy sunday and yesterday i weighed in at 12st 6lb¾ ...today on my...

    When did you start to show?

    first time roughly about 14 weeks? this time round about 9/10 weeks ~ i feel, like you, it was because baby was pushing my chubby bits out in the shape of a baby bump though ;) i was overweight this time (size 14, but im only 5'1, also think you show sooner if you are shorter than average)

    Question on behalf of my friend...

    its really common! the best thing for her to do is drink plenty of water and increase her fibre intake with plenty of veg, or snack on some prunes? if that doesnt work i would go to GP and they can perscribe something suitable to take while pregnant - and of course its free if on perscription! x

  99. Amyeve

    What 1 thing did you enjoy about CD yesterday?

    that it only took as long as it took for the kettle to boil to make my hot chocolate mint shake dinner last night:)
  100. Amyeve

    Half a shake...

    oh i had forgotten about splitting shakes! i did it when i first started, dunno why i stopped. will def be doing it from now on. i never used to weigh it, i just shook the sachet before opening until all the powder settled at the bottom, then used a tablespoon just to scoop out half the...
  101. Amyeve

    Your "actual" weight?

    i go by morning weight as thats what i've always done. but if you have always gone by evening weight that would be accurate too i guess?

    Hair issue!!

    Ok i have a weird issue with my hair and its driving me mad!!! I dunno if it has anything to do with CD, but it only started after i started the diet.

    OT - Gok Wan last night

    If you didnt see it, Cilla Black was on and Gok said something about her needing a 14 and she got really annoyed saying she wasnt a 14 and she would rather loose weight than buy a 14:mad: I love Gok, but i must admit i was a bit taken back when he didnt say anything like, what the heck is...
  109. Amyeve

    How would you work round this??

    i totally hear what you are saying about not needing the food, you are so right. but at some point i am going to be going back to eating again and things like this will crop up and i cant avoid them forever. its not that i want to pig out and i will make healthy choices.. i didnt mention is...
  110. Amyeve

    help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    oh well! nothing you can do about it now so no point fretting. alot of us have been there, me included. Just dont do what i did and let it become a slippery slope. One nibble led to weeks of battling the cheats. Draw a very heavy line under it and start again. And if you still have a good...
  111. Amyeve

    How would you work round this??

    Hi everyone, ill try and keep this short and making sense :o I am on SS at the moment, and will be until my next CDC meeting on the 13th. I am off on my holiday on 6th June for a week and i am not going to diet whilst away, especially as i am going all inclusive ;) so i dont drink alcohol...
  112. Amyeve

    feel a bit hurt and embarrassed??

    Good grief:mad: I absolutely HATE when people are so sad and insecure that they have nothing else to talk about than ''gossip'' i mean really, is your diet REALLY that interesting?? (no offence to you at all, hope you know what i mean) i despise this kind of office malarkey, even when the...

    Different Scales and Weights

    My CDC weighs me on my own scales. i know that i am usually 1lb heavier in the afternoon than the morning, so for example, i was 11st 5 last monday PM WI, this morning i weighed 11st 1lb - so in my head i think, right if i can keep that off then i should be roughly 11st 2lb at weigh in, so will...
  114. Amyeve

    ***saturday hour by hour - we can do this ***

    Hello i havent posted for ages! i only have 12 days of SS left so im trying to be 100% to the max! i weighed 11st 1lb this morning so really hoping to be getting close to the mid 10s by the time im finished SS :fingerscrossed: Hope everyone has a nice day. im jealous of you guys getting away...
  115. Amyeve

    i LOVE the food on this diet!

    i like them all but i find the chocolate mint shake made hot so satisfying and i even look forward to it. so i always get 21 of those a week! :D got a few tetras on standby too to pop in my handbag for days or evenings out;)
  116. Amyeve

    Struggling... :(

    yep, i weigh on monday evenings. although as its bank holiday next week i will be weighing myself. my CDC comes out to my house and weighs on my own scales so i know it will be accurate. then, the week after she cant come round until the wednesday 13th! thats when ill be going up to 810 plan...
  117. Amyeve

    The last straw

    Mine was also photos! also i wanted to get the weight off now and start eating healthily while my daughter is too young to notice me dieting. i dont want her growing up thinking diets are normal. all the stuff in the press about little girls starving themselves absolutely terrify me
  118. Amyeve

    Struggling... :(

    yes yes yes!! i felt exactly the same because after months of loosing little to nothing on slimming world i couldnt believe i would loose anything more than 1lb...but actually i lost 8.5lb in just the first week:) i have been messing around last few weeks so i started again 100% SS on tuesday...

    Question about your CDC

    1 - Where do you see your CDC? Bedroom/Kitchen/Office/Living Room/hired premises? My front room, she comes to me! 2 - how long do you spend with you CDC? (i.e 30 minutes once a week/2 hours once a month etc) 15-20 mins, sometimes less as just weigh, pay & quick chat. but thats fine by me as i...

    coffe with milk on SS

    Is drinking too much water dangerous?

    hello i got pain in my kidneys when i first started too. i suffer badly from kidney infections so i know thats what the pain was... it did go away though after a few days and i didnt need to see gp. i dont know about you but i never drank as much as i do now so i put it down to my body adjusting x

    Out of Ketosis, or not enough water? help x

    thanks everyone. its actually quite scary when you start eating again! my cdc was explaining how ill need to go up to 1000cal step before i go on holiday and that sounds LOADS but actually really its not much at all. im surprised how well i adapted to such a low cal diet
  172. Amyeve

    is anyone worried about baggy skin?

    Abit OT but something Ive always wondered...

    it must do! but then factors such as drinking/sweating must come into account so you might not actually see it. i remember reading once that swimming breaststroke for 1 hour burns a lb of fat. i did 1 hour every day for a whole week, didnt loose a thing! if i knew then what i know now though...

    Mental 'weight problem'

    Absolutely. before baby i floated between 9st7lb - 10st i was never happy at this weight but could never seem to get below. my cdc said i will probably get down to that weight again and feel happier, which may be true but until then i feel i have to push through the 9s and into the 8s before...
  181. Amyeve

    Asking someone their weight.... Rude??

    definately rude. what does it matter what you weigh to them anyway? dont mind saying i've lost X stones etc reminds me of when i was heavily pregnant and people would touch and stroke my belly so bl**dy rude:mad:
  182. Amyeve

    Can't stop cheating.........help!

    Bouillon?????

    hi everyone :wavey: does the bouillon replace shakes or do you have it as an occasional hot drink like tea? this has been questioned in the 100% forum about this but noone has replied so i thought i'd post here as i think i'd like to give it a try myself and a break from sweet flavours!

    should I switch to ss?

    Not much weight?! Thats still 11lb in 3 weeks, i'd be well happy with that! perhaps speak to your CDC and see what she says?? mine told me to prepare for plateaus and low losses and to measure myself weekly as i would still see good inch loss on these weeks.
