Rather comfy here
Hello all RC Members,
I just wanted to say hi, introduce my self and ask a few questions.
My name is Claire and I've recently had a baby. Over my pregnancy I gained 3 stone, so I want to lose the baby weight and additional stone. Since my little girls birth in April I have lost 2 stone and for the last 1/2 stone I followed RC's 1989 Metabolism Booster diet. I decided that I wanted to follow RC's upto date diet, so since mid August I have been following RC GI Hip & Thigh Diet.
I have been mixing WW points system with RC's diet cos the points system is easier to calculate than calories but decided that ideally I wanted to keep to one plan.
I have now thrown myself into RC properly and see that my Cals allowance is 1770. I wanted to ask :- How do other members spend their additional calories after 1500? I really dont want to have extra treats and find RC's suggested meals are very filling so Im at bit at a loss on what to use the extra calories on?
How do you get on with Calorie counting? Do you own any calorie counting books to help you and if so which books have you bought?
I havent got a local RC class, and with a baby there are times when I would miss her classes, so it is easier for me to follow the plan at home, however it does mean I dont get an opportunity to ask a Leader questions
Sorry for the long thread and good luck to you all
