Does anyone have any helpful tips for losing weight? I've tried fasting, calorie counting etc but I always seem to keep it up for about 2 weeks then lose motivation.
I've heard a lot that to keep weight off you have to change the way you eat for good but I find it so hard to stick to constantly cooking veg for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I do 16:8 intermittent fasting every day. So you eat in the 8 hour window and fast for 16 hours. I eat between 9am and 5pm. Also if you go on google and find out your basal metabolic rate (BMR) it will tell u how many calories your body needs a day just to survive and you can change it to how active you are and it will change the calories. This is how I know how many calories I can have per day. If you do need to have something if you wake early then just have like 1 piece of toast xx

Calorie counting but making sure you're in calorie defecit. So my basal metabolic rate (calories you burn just being alive) is about 1600kcal and I try to stick to a maximum of 1200kcal a day
That's amazing! Well done for losing that much. I wanted to go to weight watchers but I was afraid of being judged for being silly. I'm not massively overweight or anything I just want to slim down back to what I was before I had tommy. I used to be a 10-12 now I'm a 12-14. Xxx

Definitely trying to intermittent fasting again I think! So many people are recommending it 😊 I find it hard to calorie count but I'll give it a go again. Thank you xx
Use the TDEE calculator. It’s tells you how many calories your body needs per day. Goes on your height, weight, age and gender, plus level of activity. You need to be in a calorie deficit every day. My current goal is 600 kcal less than what I’m burning. You can eat whatever you like within those calories but try to aim for 1.6% of your body weight (in kg) on protein.
This is all advice from my PT.
Oo thank you I'll give that a go! I find it so hard to calorie count even with apps I always do it for like a week or a then lose motivation to keep up with it 🤦♀️ xx
I wanted to go to slimming world but I dont want to go and be judged for being silly because I just want to lose around a stone 😂 xx
I stop eating at 8 and break my fast at 12 dinner time
After giving birth to my 4th baby I lost 30 lbs in about 3 months.
Before getting pregnant this time, I lost a further 20lbs in 7 weeks.
I changed my eating habits. So snacking would mean only low calorie snacks like rice cakes or fruits.
I cut out carbs and sugary stuff.
My last meal would be at 6pm.
I ran everyday 40-50 mins.
And I drank detox tea ( sorry tmi but my digestive system is really slow and this helped )
You can go low carb if you love some carbs. Or you can put more portions of proteins & veggies vs carbs x
That's amazing! I love rice cakes so that wouldn't be a problem for me. Definitely going to try and stop eating at 6-7pm like everyone has recommended. I'd love to start running aswell but my partner would say otherwise as it would mean having to look after our son for an hour 🤦♀️ xx
@kelsey234 oh no ! Do you have space at your house for a treadmill.
I ran on my treadmill as it was more convenient especially during the rainy and cold days x
Intermittent fasting :) you don’t have to eat veg all the time just healthy meals
I don’t drink sugary drinks
Don’t eat junk
Treat myself to a takeaway once a week
Eat low carbs x
Yeah my problem is snacking mostly! If I get hungry its always so easy to grab a packet of crisps or something 😂 I've never liked sugary drinks so that's not been a problem for me I always drink water. Which intermittent fasting do you recommend?! Xx
@kelsey234, So me and my partner stop eating before 7, and won’t eat until after 11am :) xx
@beebeejgill going to try and do this again! I wish I could sleep longer as I find it easier then but sometimes tommy wakes me at 5-6am so it's a long time to have a rumbling tummy until 11 😩 xx
Intermittent fasting and calorie counting together x
Calorie counting did work for me but I wouldn't want to stick to it! How long do you fast for? 😊 x
So does breastfeeding really help you lose weight ? I mean REALLY really ? People keep saying you only lose weight if you eat right while doing it , others say the weight just falls off
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Weight Gain
What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
How much have you ladies gained so far ?? I've gained 64lbs 😳 my husband makes me feel shitty when I indulge by reminding me how hard it's gonna be to lose the weight once baby comes. I don't know if it hurts my feelings or pisses me off but my dr doesn't seem to be concerned about all this weight I've gained I started at 106lb so I was small to begin with. Talk about stressful
