Help with girl sway and diet in UK please!
Hi,
I'm fairly new here, been stalking the forums for tips for a couple of months as I haven't bought a plan just yet 🙈
I have 2 boys and a girl and I'm hoping for another girl. I am about 10-12kgs heavier than before I conceived my third and I'm really struggling for motivation to lose it. I've been trying to lose weight just by being healthier and I was running 3 times a week until an injury but due to start again this week! I am also breastfeeding a 19 month old who probably nurses upto 10/12 times in 24 hours. Prior to having my girl I was following a healthy choices and low GI meal plan and was exercising 3 or 4 times a week so I know I need to get back to exercise, its fitting it in with our jobs that's proving hard to balance!
I'm really struggling with the LE diet as I'm naturally a snacker!
I was wondering if anyone could link me to a list of what is considered "free" fruit and veg? I'm thinking I need to eat more of those at meals to be really full or I'm literally sabotaging myself! I've switched from porridge to cereal for breakfast as its much lower in cals and I am trying to delay breakfast but I can't necessarily go without, particularly on days I work as I don't get lunch those days. I have just switched to sweetener in my coffee instead of sugar apart from my first one of the day and I have sugar fee squash (juice you dilute) and diet coke at other points. Oh and I have a small chocolate bar on an evening once the kiddos are asleep, its my staying sane treat!
We were already not preventing pregnancy prior to me trying to change my diet and hubs is keen to get ttc, we don't want a huge age gap between 3 and 4 and actually its already going to be bigger than we had hoped! We went for one attempt this cycle, although I ovulated a little different to what I thought so there was a J+D on what is considered my first fertile day and one attempt the day before poaitove opk! I know I'm doing a LOT wrong, I just can't seem to get it right!
Sorry for so much info! Any help massively appreciated! ❤
