I didn't do any exercise last night as I pulled a muscle in my back (thanks to slipping on the ice). Tonight i'm doing an hour of stepping and some yoga. I weighed myself last night and i've lost another 3lb; that's an 8lb loss since 1st Jan :thumbup:

That's amazing Sian - trying not to weigh myself til monday, as I did yesterday and had put weight on. Someone at work told me I was eating too much fruit/dried fruit and that it was full of sugar and that I wouldn't lose any weight. I don't think that's right, I'm going the low fat route. What do you think?

Just remember, you may be putting on muscle weight (since you are walking a lot).
Before the munchkin, I used to go to a trainer for 4 months. I barely lost any weight. But I did tone up and looked slimmer, if not weighed it.
So far- I've lost 34lb since having her 3 1/2 months ago (well I was sick most of my pregnancy- and actually came out 20 lighter than when I started.) But now I need to tone back up. Started working again, and that should help a lot.

Claire - I completely agree with ^ vduboise ^. I train like hell some months but I don't lose any weight. I do however, slim down and tone up. It's frustrating on the scales but you will see results in how your clothes fit, compliments you get and your fitness level.

DO eat fruit, it's great for your digestion. I tend to eat around 2-3 pieces a day. Fruit can be a bugger for hidden kcals and sugar though. When I first started seriously dieting and was at my biggest, I ate so much fruit, thought I was being healthy but wasn't losing anything. I spoke to my dietitian and she said that I shouldn't be eating more than about 3/4 pieces a day at most (That includes dried fruit and fruit juice). I replaced fruit snacks with carrot sticks, pepper slices, cucumber pieces... basically anything that wasn't as calorific or had too much sugar (raw veg is good for your skin too!). Bare in mind that there's a lot of natural sugar in fruit: sugar puts on the lbs around you waist, first and foremost. lbs around your waist increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
I'm doing a low fat diet too (won't eat anything with more than 5gms total fat per 100gm) but I still keep my eye on my sugar and salt intake. :thumbup:

I havent "cheated" all week...

Lots of soup
veggies
tuna fish....( I am also the proud owner of a loaf of "diet bread")

I need to find something to snack on....
Maybe I will buy some of those flavored rice cake thingies....Maybe...hehehhe

I refuse to bring carrot sticks, and celery to work...I just fucking refuse...

But I need to find something to snack on....Cuz once the tuna fish and soup is gone.....I spend the next 3-4 hours at work, ready to eat the fucking steering wheel........

Dried fruit?? I also quite like those flavoured rice cake things. The caramel ones (over here) are the lowest in fat and taste a bit popcorny .... yum

i find that anything with protien helps a lot, like nuts or peanut butter.
and those taste much better than a steering wheel haha
