Well done on yr first DD - mine is Wednesday and I am excited/nervous lol xx

 

[twinklyjojo]

Good luck! It's not as bad as I thought, have kept very busy and just focused on the fact I can eat a bit more normally tomorrow!

 

[twinklyjojo]

Have just double checed my allowance on the website and it appears I miscalculated it the first time. Actual allowance is:

Up day 2406
Down day 481

Based on moderate exercise 3-5 days per week, which I should be able to do.

So have ended up going slightly over today as had 500 cals, hopefully this won't make a difference to any weight loss.

2406 for tomorrow then, seems like a lot!! Do you have to eat all of them for it to work?

[Emilyx]

Hey hope you have a great down day, your food diary looks good xxx

 

[twinklyjojo]

Thank you have ended up having different food so far as didn't fancy an egg this morning, had a blueberry strawberry and cucumber smoothie instead - sounds grim but is v refreshing and only around 50 cals! And an apple so far.

 

[Greeneyes11]

I think the smoothie sounds lovely, was thinking of buying some fruit and veg and having them myself when on a DD.... especially with 0% greek yoghurt which is very low in calories....

 

[twinklyjojo]

I love smoothies and feels like I'm being so good, health in a glass! Mmmm a bet the Greek yoghurt would make them taste yum
