Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

[GrannieAnnie]

Many congrats on the new arrival!!

I would agree on the advise the girls have already given.
Give yourself time before trying to diet or exercise.
Enjoy the little one!!

Hi ladies ,
Hoping I can join you .
I have just rejoined SW after having my daughter ruby she is one week old today .
I would like to get to 8 stone but think i might struggle to get below 8.7 nevertheless I'm going to try my best!
My current weight as of Thursday is 9.5
Xx

Congratulations!! Wow that your 9.5 after giving birth. Excellent

Am seriously thinking of doing a couple of fast days this week after my over indulgence these last few weeks. I've probably been on plan 80% of the time - nearly 3 weeks since hubby has been on leave - but just feel a bit slothy now lol!
So will do a days meal plan, work out the calories and have a think about it. I know on other threads ladies do the 5:2 combined with sw.
Has anyone else done this?
Looking back I did a fast day on Thursday cos all I had was fruit, yogurt and granola for my brunch and then nothing else cos I was feeling nauseous after seeing my consultant! But it will be harder I think if I know I'm limiting my food intake for the day. I know it's not advocated by sw, so anyone reading this.....its just an experiment!

I did try 5:2 for about a week!!
Soon went back to sw. Not cos sw don`t really approve but more cos I got more obsessive about food!!

I dont think I coukd do it all the time cos I love my food too much, but just thought it wouldn't do any harm for a week or so. Just need to sit down and work out the calories for everything so it equals 500 cals

Is it 5 days of eating normal and 2 of 500?
Cod in butter sauce with broccoli doesn't have many calories plus some ww soup is less than 100 cals

Give us some of your menus. I may try it once my challenge is over x

I would do 500 cals a day for 1 or 2 days and the other days would be sw as normal. Might go out tomorrow and get some veggies to make a soup, but its surprising how the cals mount up......my breakfast works out about 500 cals!!!

[debtin]

Yes...does it depend on our weight?

 

[donna88]

I've considered fasting before, but looking at cals confuses me a bit and I think I'd just end up doing it wrong :/

Good luck Kim. R u just doing it for a few days ?

Yeah it depends on weight, height and activity level. You can usually get a calorie expenditure calculator online.
I have a fitbit that measures steps and it says to maintain my weight I should eat 2,000calories!!!! I'd rarely eat that much.
