Teri's Yummy Mummy Diary

[oasis6918]

Ok, a little bit about myself for those that don't already know me....
I have two gorgeous babies, my first just turned 2, I gained 3st 7lb's with him, lost 4 and half st then gained about a st back in the 15 months before I fell pregnant with my little girl, then I gained 3st 4lb's with her so I was back where I started. My little lady is now 5 weeks old.
I currently need to lose at least 4 st to get me to 13st. Then would like to lose another 2st if possible after that.
So far I've lost 23.5lb's. I'm now doing sw.

Thought I'd keep myself a weigh in diary to keep track of my progress, I weigh in on a Friday. So I've copied from my other diary.
Week 1 after pregnancy - 16lb's down
Week 2 calorie counting - 3lb's down
Week 3 slim fast plan - 2lb's down
Week 4 JUDDD - 0.5 lb's down
Week 5 calorie cycling - 2lb down
Week 6 CC/Slimfast - didn't wi.
Week 7 CC/SW -


Total loss so far - 23.5 lb's
63.5 lb's to lose to goal x

Welcome Teri its nice to have another mummy on here, you've not eaten much today xx

 

[oasis6918]

Well were having pizza for tea, longish story. No excuses though, that's what were having.
I have dropped my scales off at my mum's and I'm not going to weigh until next Friday 10th. I don't know my weight from today I'm going in blind.
However feeling pretty nervous because I know that because I can't weigh myself I won't dare deviate from my diet (that's the point) but I don't like not being in control........wish me luck x

 

[Cas3]

Im tempted to throw my scales in the bin but id be worried i'd go off track xx

 

[oasis6918]

Well today is day 1 of my '10 day challenge' would like to lose between 4 to 5 lb.

Cup of tea. 31cals

 

[Cas3]

So you on a challenge that sounds really good , are you still calorie cycling or just doing slim fast xx

 

[oasis6918]

Well a bit of an experiment really. I'm going to do the full 10 days on slim fast plan. Then I'm going to do 2 weeks calorie cycling without using any slim fast for my meals and see which one I lose the most weight on. In the long term I'll be doing calorie cycling/mfp but if I lose good do sf every few weeks I'll do two weeks sf. I'm wondering if mixing the two like I have been slows down my weight loss. I doubt it but I'd like to know if I'm sabotaging myself
I really believe cal cycling is the way forward, I hope it works in the long run for me x

 

[Cas3]

I love calorie cycling, no more sf for me think it makes me gain it just doesnt suit me.I think its good to changes diets every now and then just to see wot works best and sf is pretty much calorie based. Glad im joining you Ive put my scales away its going be strange not keep checking on them but im looking forward to the 10th.

 

[oasis6918]

Yeah I can't wait. I hope its worth it. I'm going to stick between 1200-1320 cals maybe the odd day @ low cals. My tea is mackerel fillets in a spicy chilli sauce on jacket potato, one of my fave meals x

 

[Cas3]

That sounds healthy, im really excited xx

Oh it was, I generally don't ha e much fish but these tins of princes chilli mackerel on jacket potato are lovely, also I have them on salad. I'll have a look at your diary too I definitely recommend calorie cycling and feels a lot less like being on a diet xx

 

[stef2009]

I'll have to keep my eye out for that !

I didn't even know what calorie cycling was!! May look into that, how do u decide what to have each day is there a pattern to follow or do u decide? Xxx

Just by cutting back a few calories in the week it allows you to have a yummy treat over wkend or when ever and it keeps your metabilisom going so I dont feel like im dieting im usually so moody when im dieting. Some people follow a pattern they may have a high then low day or just have a different amount of calories each day but you dont have to as long as you keep within your weekly calories xx

 

[stef2009]

I think I may try that then if all else fails lol
I don't mind dieting. As long as I'm losing lol

I know Sunday's will be a higher day as its Sunday dinner at my mums lol cnt turn that down xxx

I just eat what I fancy but try not to use too many calories too early in day, try not to have too many processed foods or too much bread and I make sure on my higher days I have a proper treat so I don't feel like I've missed out xx

Popping by to subscribe I'm on day 2 of cc and I'm sure ul get where you need to be. I've lost 13lbs previously on slim fast that was in a month but I've found cc and exercise works best for me, at my heaviest I was 17st7 at only 18 years old and it melted away with cc and exercise, good luck x
