Your boys sound like mine haha!! They often have feasts like that though usually more at lunch time.
Random but are any of you any good at photo shop? I want to change the frame of my avatar from blue to pink lol.
Chocolate is a necessity. Maybe dark would be better for s girl sway? Anyone know? Xx
No not dark chocolate I read atomic post somewhere that milk and white chocolate was better because dark chocolate has more nutrients in itQuote:

Sorry I'm no help on photo shop... I don't even know how to add a aviator on my profile!
Lol that's ok :) thanks for replying. Ah ok that would make sense about white chocolate. Though I think dark contains magnesium or something in it? I read t was good for water retention but maybe am making that up haha xx
Lunch was rocket, tomatoes, feta drizzled with balsamic and chilli olive oil. I added a bagel with peanut butter on the side.. because i was starving and soup is on the menu for dinner tonight... Im having a diet coke.
And, currently holding back on the chocolate mousse i just spotted at the back of the fridge!!:shemademe:
Ah I wish I liked stuff like rocket and tomatoes :( might order myself some cucumber and carrots next week then do the drizzly oil stuff you do! Sounds good. I don't like any leafy veg apart from spinach which had to be cooked in sage butter lol or occasionally shredded cabbage! Xx
It has literally been years since ive had cabbage!
Do you like lettuce? - you could add cucumber and carrots and corn etc with a little balsamic etc
You could even just chop up cucumber/carrots/tomato/sweetcorn/peppers etc. Really small in ****s and drizzle in oil and throw in small ****s of whatever cheese you fancy or a small bit of chopped ham/turkey/chicken if your eating that.... I'm quite lazy at the moment for not wanting to do much prep for food, maybe it's the diet. Feel really weak and lethargic today

Yup will definitely add that as a meal next week thanks for the inspiration!! No I am not keen on lettuce either but will tolerate in a veggie burger lol already counting down to dinner time! Xx
Chocolate could you add in some iron rich food? Hope you're ok xx
It's hit me hard lethargy wise this week too chocolate.
Yes squiggle I had just one rice cake, hunger tends to hit me at around 5ish.
Today I had a coffee and 4 rice cakes with low fat spread for lunch after an hours dog walk in the beautiful sunshine. For dinner I'm having roasted veg with garlic basil and grated Parmesan and probably some plain biscuits. Cheated yesterday evening and had a kitkat which I wouldn't usually touch but I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment.
Took me ages to decide i was having a salad - to be honest the preparing part puts me off too but its that or i just eat bread/pasta/bagels..
Im always ordered to take Iron/Iron tabs when preggers. It bloats me to the max though and i already battle with constipation. So im refusing to take any iron supps unless i really really have to! I do eat Iron-fortified breads, pastas, Peas and beans though... Been a veggie for over a year now..
Tonight im having Tomatoe soup with garlic flat bread. I might opt for a quiche and salad instead.. i should probably take my fibre tablets whilst i remember, Lol! I have to take them 30-60 mins before a meal and i forget. End up taking them with my meal instead..
Im on my 3rd cup of coffee for the day.. i cant seem to have it without milk and sugar though....
I had tuna salad wraps followed by cheesecake and some milk chocolate tonight but I am 4dpo so either way I don't think it matters because if my egg has fertilised the gender has already been determined and if not a little cheat before next cycle isn't going to harm
I'm back on track today [emoji6]!
First meal was a bagel thin with a smear of low-fat cream cheese and a small banana.
Second meal was 2 small tortillas with refried beans, lettuce, tomato, and two pinches of shredded cheese. I also had a bit of red licorice.
Dinner will be cheese pizza tonight with a scoop of raspberry sherbet.

Quiche is a good idea, is it possible to get eggless quiche?
I read that as raspberry sorbet not sherbet and now fancy a sorbet lol, having a vodka red bull, did my stair stepping again after bath time, the time seems to go quicker now :) xx
Yes - plenty!! Just google 'eggless quiche' and you will get loads!
Started *ok* but finished with some chocolate and the boys leftover cornetto after fish and chip dinner (portion of chips and the leftover fish from the boys). Not brilliant food wise generally but not absolutely awful I don't think... Well done you girls though, I can't believe how little you're managing on!! With the lack of meat/protein, I'm desperate for carbs!!! Lol x
Im so used to the no meat thing.. Its the snacking and my arvo biscuits with tea im missing the most! xQuote:

beautiful rainbow i didnt realise you had made your attempt, eek good luck hope you get your BFP! xx
I seem to not need snacks but then make a bad food choice like chips! I'm wondering if I make my own popcorn using sweetener and light flora if that would be girl friendly? May have that as my 3rd meal so I can take an extra metformin a day

Im hungry. 09:59am
Coffeeeeeeee.
Hope you dont mind me joining in, im having a cheese sandwich today with iceburg lettece red onion and balsamic vinger with a orange, strawberries and rasberries on the side and tonight i have broccoli spinage and green bean in a curry sauce with rice. Im struggling with dinner ideas all i seem to eat is green veg and rice x
Just finished my lunch. Hooray! I had a bowl of wholegrain rice - i put a little chilli olive oil in it and some salt for flavour. I had 3 rice cakes with low fat spread, added rocket and a drizzle of sweet sour chilli sauce. Hot chocolate.
Just had 3 pikelets with low sugar jam for lunch. Having wholegrain rice with a tomato based sauce with peppers and courgettes for dinner. I seem to struggle in the evening, my dh brought out his Easter egg last night to share so I had to have some!
You're all so good with the veggies. I need to get a lot better next week! Today's lunch will be porridge and yoghurt. Dinner will be sausage and mash with veg. Must. Not. Snack!! Xx
Yay mulberry, you got your profile pic photo shopped!
I can only not snack if I have had something sweet to finish off my meal like a small dessert or couple pieces of chocolate.
Good idea beautiful rainbow. Having a very late lunch today as it's just been one of those days! I changed it in paint lol it's not the best and I realise this sounds silly but I wanted to have a pink avatar in the hopes it may bring me more pink vibes lol!
Having my second coffee of the day yummy xx
I had 2 cheese topped rolls with flora light and salad cream for lunch and a coffee.... Then m and Ms (naughty but nice ;-)) Dinner seems to have ended up being 2 digestive biscuits, 1 cracker with philli, a bite of the kids roast potatoes and a bite of a pork chop. I did them pork loin steaks with Apple sauce and cheese on top... managed to stop at just having a couple of tiny **** size pieces!

Dinner was tomatoe soup with garlic and parmesan cheese toasted bread. Glass of blush.
For lunch yesterday I had eggs benidict, i know it has bacon and eggs in it but if i am pregnant i am going to need the protein trying to think positive and using it as an excuse to cheat.
Tea was spaghetti pasta with Mediterranean veg sauce, lol here comes the naughty bit... Chocolate fudge cake and ice cream ops! No will power yesterday!
That sounds so good beautiful rainbow!!
Well done XX :) can you remind me what we are meant to be sticking to for fat, protein and carbs please? I could check but am being lazy lol. On my fitness pal it gives you percentages of each, do you know what they're meant to be?
Not sure what am doing for lunch today yet but I stole a couple of chocolate buttons to have with my coffee this morning. Might make more cinnamon swirls since we have the stuff in for them. My boys have a play date and they're having melted choc with marshmallows and fruit xx
Are you doing pcos diet mulberry? If so it has more protein in it, 40g-50g on normal I think and 50-60g on pcos! Not sure on the fat amounts bough maybe someone else will know
I think it's 60g fat on the Pcos diet but I'm not going that high.
How is everyone feeling on the diet? I feel quite weak, slight headaches, muscle weakness today and also feel like I have raging pmt, but only on day 8 of my cycle which I usually feel at my best in the first half.
I've also had a few spots appear which I haven't had for ages. Bit worried that by feeling really pmt like it's a bad sign. Wonder how mums of girls feel all the time if they typically eat this way all the time and exercise?!

I'm not going that high either chocolate. Yes I feel weak and just really slow, in fact I can't even be bothered to smile it's too much effort, maybe it's to keep us more chilled out!
I'm really cutting back on carbs now as I put weight on if I have them at lunch and dinner.
Today for lunch a coffee with milk and for dinner I'm trying spinach, sweet potato and lentil dahl.
It's hard isn't it especially with children to run around after. I had to abandon taking the boys shopping as just felt weak and snappy so we got lunch and went home for some TV and blanket time.
I had a bagel with a bit of cheese for lunch and 2 custard cream biscuits. I think it will be hot cross buns for my tea.... I'm also taking metformin which I think is lowering my blood sugar levels and with the exercise and diet, just adds to making me feel lethargic. Can see the sense in trying to optimise become pregnant first try as it's hard to commit to feeling this rubbish for much longer.
I also think too many carbs make it harder for me to loose weight too... As does my indulging in chocolate! Easter eggs are almost all gone :-)
