Happy Saturday All. I tried to loose weight and joined this forum 2 months ago. I have 3 kids under 4 and have recently gone back to work and I have to admit I am good for 3 days then I let it slip and the junk food comes back in....
I struggle to find time to excerise but I have signed up to a 10k and just invested in a running buggy so here's hoping
I love being active and I'd like to get back into my running and shed some weight. I've got 20kg to loose.... Here's hoping xx
Welcome back, Maria821 
The best exercise is always the one you stick with. On the other hand, what you eat has far more impact on your weight than exercise.
I should think you have to be a good planner with your little gang to organise so see if you can find a way of planning your meals and doing some batch cooking so you always have something in the freezer to turn to. Keep the junk food out of the house (the children don't need junk any more than you do), then anything you turn to will be healthy, real food
Here's a reminder of what's going on and how to find your way around healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Why not make your way back to the Wednesday Wobble Warriors weigh in this week?
Hi Maria, welcome back. I think being “good for three days then slip and fall back” patter is something many of us recognise. Perhaps this time around try a different approach. Don’t be on or off a diet. Just make little changes to your habits. Start for example with a few habits like replacing sugary drinks with something else you enjoy (I have fizzy water with ice and lime or mint a lot), replacing white bread/pasta/rice with whole meal versions, adding one extra serving of veggies to your plate when you eat.
Of course starting from where you are now.
You could also chose to change one meal at a time, meaning continue to eat what you always have for dinner and lunch but having a healthier breakfast. Then when you feel you’ve got that integrated into your lifestyle, move on to lunch.
I hope you are enjoying your training for the 10k. 🙌
Hi you sound busy, would you like to join our Easter challenge to lose half a stone by Easter? Just post your weight on the Easter Countdown challenge post, hope to see you there! I will attach a link for you
Hey Maria and welcome back! If you know can do well for around three days but then start slipping up maybe you can plan a healthier treat you can have after those three days to satisfy that feeling you need a reward for your hard work without losing control.
Thanks all. I'm planning on a run later and wil get my weight up on the Easter challenge too. Here's hoping x
Hi, i had my first 3 babies in 3.5yrs and 4 (boys) in 5.5 years. I understand how busy you are and that you deserve a medal!
I never tried a running buggy, will be very interested to hear how that goes. I love running too, such gorgeous headspace.
Take care and best of luck
Old but New to the side 
three stones to loose
October too October! The start of my journey back to a healthy weight and fitness!
