help & advice needed

Hi

Your help and advice is needed please.................

I want and need to loose weight, since having my kids, the weight has piled on........ , mainly through bad eating, not eating the right things, picking at food, not getting enough exercise, the usual reasons

I'm slowly loosing it, but just would like some help & advice, my hubs uses this board alot and finds it very helpful, so he suggested i give it a go.

Excercise wise, i'm not good at the gym, i don't like it, i can't motivate myself enough there............ i use to do a lot of bodycombat and bodypump before my girls but that has been pushed aside now as well............. I walk my 2 dogs and enjoy swimming, so i guess that's what i do. Whatever i do has to fit in with my famliy life.

Diet wise:-

breakfast - again not good at this, i have bannana before i take the girls to school, but can't face anything else, if i'm not hungry I can eat,

when i get back i'll have some cereal (skimmed milk) or scrambled eggs on toast

Lunch - jacket spud, with beans or some leftover chilli from the night b4, with salad Or a sandwhich, depedning on how the day is going

Dinner - cooked meal, Chilli, chicken, spag bog, tuna and salad, but i do make my own sauces not jarred stuff so I know what goes in them, i also cut down on the amount of rice or pasta etc that i have with the evening meal.

I've also cut down on my portion size as well.

I will also have 2/3 pieces of fruit aday or some cashew nuts (just plain ones)

Alcohol, i like my wine, so i try and cut this out during the week and save it for the weekend.

I try and drink 2 ltrs or water a day, but don't always manage it.

My main aim is to loose weight and find my weight that i was before my girls......... I would like muscle tone, but i'm not too fussed yet about that. Like i said i am loosing slowly, but i want to do it quicker.

Any help and advice welcomed
