Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Yoza i've dropped the studies my friend. I just couldn't focus this year with retrenchments and all... I'm so disappointed but what can I do. And still paying the R14000 loan off! Eish!

We've found the cause of the allergies. A freakin flea! Oh my word...hate them so much! We had a bird fly into our house a week or 2 ago and he was here while we were out...so who knows how long. So perhaps the carrier of it??? Anyways...luckily she is on allergy meds everyday anyways so the allergy didn't get as bad as miss k says saarah's was and my mom says ours was as kids. Now she is on cortisone.

We had fish and chips for supper. I'm quite 'naar' actually. I had just a small part of tail, stripped it of the batter and skin...but ya...still a bit too rich.

Gerard working tomorrow.that sucks!

Oh helen I think we are all more intrigued with sex of baby than u are! Lol

Ally did my parcel for the mommies ever reach jhb? U should let me know when it got there so I can actually complain if it got there late cause I paid for overnight and that was the tuesday before shower!

Vix I'm sorry...your post wasn't there earlier (above Mandy's) so ignore my questions. I see your concern is this possible syndrome. so gynae says in 2 weeks u can assess? How did he explain it if u seem to think you have 2 placentas? Shame hun...u sound stressed! ouch on c's injury!!

Thanks for Congrats on weight ladies! I'm working hard so nice to see it paying off even if I wish it was slightly faster.

Lwasi my friend...I am not an expert quite yet.lol. But some things I've Learnt. 1 portion of starch is either:
1 slice of bread
1 small potato
1/2 cup pasta or rice
Not sure on porridge but let me say 1/2 cup of oats

I'm allowed 5 of those per day. So think about your starches and I quickly realised where I was over eating. Supper was potatoes ANd RICE. Like a cup of rice and 1.5 potatoes...so that's 3 to 4 portions of starch alone.

When we eat out we think the creamed spinach is a veg, but how much milk, oil and cream is in there?

butternut and pumpkin are starchy veggies so u need to include those in starch allocations.

I'm allowed 2 'milk' portions a day. 1 portion is a glass of fat free milk or 200ml fat free yoghurt.

Then obviously u need to have fruit and veg. The fresher and cleaner the better.

Be easy on salad dressing.

Also in restaurant u can't control oil used in food. I use 1tsp per person eating if I need oil when cooking...mostly I never use more than 2tbsp in total for supper.

U can mail me and I'll send u my eating plan. My sister is way lighter than me but she's also lost 5kgs. So I know it work...and its not hard at all!

Hey Yoza I am here girl we posted at almost the same time, well off to dinner will post in after...

Hi ladies,

Shooo I have been struggling to log on to moomie and todayt I just tried and boom it connected.

Been reading your posts for the last two hours and I havent finished..hehehe

There's a lot of posts ladies I am so sorry I cant reply to all, only the current one and I will do so when I come back from dinner its 8pm here already.

Simone wow congratulations my friend, wow again. How did you do it I am trying to lose weight since I got to Pak but nothing is happening; Ok I havent gained anything but I havent lost either.

I am eating less portions more chicken and fish intake, more water and excersize every nite, please just advice me a bit as to what I should do taking into account that I hotel food 3 times a day. It will be 3 weeks on Mon and i am getting discouraged, like tonight I dont feel like excersizing cos it seems I am doing it in vain.

Oh Ara i did not see your post.
