How heavy is 'heavy lifting'?! Who else is in 2ww?

[Starsandsunbeams]

So, I'm in my 2ww and wondering how heavy is 'heavy'? I'm not straining by lifting anything, but is a basket of washing from the machine ok? Probably sounds stupid, but I'm questioning myself. I'm trying to be rational but sometimes other thoughts appear! Xx

I would say it’s ok but be careful with bending, try to avoid it. Good luck xx

I didn't lift a thing in my tww as I wanted to be super careful. Look after yourself and let your partner do the lifting and the washing 😉

I had no idea to be honest. I’ve just carried on as normal and have been to the gym but I don’t know what’s best. J would just say take some help and do what feels best for you xx

It is hard to know isn't it! All the best xx

I did loads of washing on the 2ww but split the wet load into 2 halves to carry to make it lighter just incase x

Good idea, thanks xx

It's probably fine but it's a good excuse to let your OH handle the housework for a week or two!! Good luck xxx

Thanks, it is a great excuse! We both hate changing bed sheets, but now he has to do it 😉😂 x

I refused to hoover as it’s a big Henry one. If you have pets don’t handle any poo, litter trays etc x

My doctors said anything heavier than a full kettle would be out. But I am sure they are just being very cautious xx
