Weight loss Challenge

[Tasty]

Well the weight is still coming off although I'm not trying to hard and give in to some tempations. I plan to start focussing more on weight loss in about 2-3 weeks time after inlaws return and hopefully not have as many visitors and therefore temptations to eat things I shouldn't. I am very thirsty but don't drink as much as I should.

Looking after two is certainly keeping me busy....when I'm on my own but can't complain. I'm not sure how I'd keep up if I weren't feeling well though so motivation to eat healthier.

I ave been trying to get back on the weight loss challenge since my weight has crept up to a place it hasn't been in several years. Tonight after a light dinner I was feeling like something. So after some thought and prowling through the cupboards I chucked a frozen banana some raw cacao powder, stevia and 250ml skim milk into Thermie, speed 10 for 20 seconds.

It was devine.  I will have to keep this one in mind for an occasional dessert.

That sounds good Den And well done, it was pretty healthy too

Den I've heard frozen banana is a great alternative for icecream.

As for me, I've returned to my prepregnancy weight for baby no.2 - yay! and I haven't been trying all that hard and have given in to temptations. Now I want to work harder to return to my weight before baby no.1! I need to get fitter too as I am feeling less motivated and seem to have less energy for exercise. This rainy weather isn't helping so I have to find exercises to do at home.

Oh and I've also discovered a great show on tv on ch74 called Peggy K's Kitchen cures. She's a holistic nutritionist and shows healthy alternatives to meals and usually has a theme such as: stressbusting food, how to get rid of muffin tops and thunder thighs, how to eat to get better sleep, etc. I really like it and have started trying her recipes which are yummy as well as healthy. Have converted some to TMX so will post here when I get time.

I look forward to some conversions! I'm watching my weight right now, too. I need to lose about 6 more kgs. I've lost 3, so doing well. I'm cheating, though, using Herbalife as a kickstart. I'm not enamoured with the idea of shakes, but it's working, so I'm going with it.

Well after a wonderful trip, I find myself a few kilos overweight and its hard to break the wine and choc in the evening, what can I nibble and drink

[judydawn]

Celery & carrot sticks rainbow 

[Amy :-)]

Capsicum is good too

[meganjane]

I still have my wine, but the choc is now a small handful of dark choc coated goji berries. They're delicious.

[judydawn]

I saw them in our local chemist MJ and wondered how they would taste.

Dark chocolate coated dried blueberries are apparently very nice too, but down here they're very expensive
