For people that want to record what they are eating (to help be strict!)

I hear you on that GT77! I feel like if this next one is a boy, I will be way more upset that I spent so many weeks on this diet than the fact we won't be welcoming a daughter into our family!

Today I am operating on 2.5 hours sleep due to the restless boys I already have so I do not feel like eating at all. Only lunch here and I have had a piece of toast and some mushrooms and about four cups of black coffee.

Hi girls,

This is my 8 th week on LE so I feel I am loosing motivation and the snacks are sneaking back. Got bfn this month so onwards to next month so I really want to give it my all for a good LE and hopefully bfp!!

Today so far I had:

Lunch- homemade scone and a bagel with Philly and diet coke.
Plus 2 x custard cream biscuits.

Dinner will be 100g past with pesto then meringue nest with strawberrys and yogurt.

Fat. 26g. Protein. 33g calories. 1204

I normally have rice or noodles for my dinner with mushrooms. Getting so sick of rice.

Same here GT77- I pray that this is our month because I feel like I'm going to go insane if I drop another pound on this LE diet. There are times I also want to quit exercising lol...I guess because I have no energy This morning I had some partial ferning on my microscope and a Negative OPK cervix is still somewhat low...so I'm almost sure I will be O in the next 3-4 days...CD 10 today. I feel so bad for dh because he is so anxious to DTD lol I'm too, but I can hold he's about to go insane on me lol..I've had sleeping issues lately just thinking how much longer till I O. This week marks 7 weeks on LE and I'm sick and tired of the same everyday lol...just venting away. GL to all of us that we get our BFP ASAP!!!

Welcome Funkyfry.

My weekend was bust. Saturday we had a wedding. I had lots of delicious food (tried to avoid meat, but wasn't perfect) and far too much delicious wine!

Sunday I somehow didn't eat until midday, but once I started eating, found it hard to stop and had about four small meals!

Back on the bandwagon today. So far I have eaten out with DH for lunch, but only had a small slice of bread with hummus, some grated carrot and 1/4 avocado. I also had a coffee.

I really feel like eating again now, but will wait until dinner.

Do any of you find that if you have one bad day, it throws you off for a few days after? I just really miss snacking today

I have officially been on strict LE (apart from this weekend's slip up) for six weeks.

[boymama]

Everything has gone quiet in here! Today and yesterday have been good days for me. It looks like I may be making my first attempt this weekend if all goes to plan and I ovulate so fingers crossed!

Rice paper rolls last night for dinner. Two bits of bread with cream cheese for lunch. Dinner tonight is pasta.

I feel like everything I eat is either white or brown!

Sorry to interrupt this thread ladies, but I can't find where the LE diet menu is on the site? It's been a while since I've navigated the site. Thank you

If you were to skip breakfast, do you have a snack before lunch? Also, what time do you eat your lunch?
