Mumsnet Talk

Hi to anyone who reads this. Possibly nobody
Who wants to start a shiny new thread, where we state our plans and goals?
I still have 17lbs to lose, I'm going properly low-carb from this morning, and I'm 10 days into the 30 day shred.
I'll start a new thread if anyone's keen.

Hey crazy. Still at least you're only carrying half a stone extra, bet you look really good.
Lack of sleep really affects my food intake and motivation, hopefully won't last much longer. Some friends of mine did CC at 6 months and it worked pretty fast but I'm putting it off for a bit, maybe he'll spontaneously sleep through (I can dream ).
Yes the weather should be a big motivator, I've got lots of summer dresses but don't want to show my calves at the mo. Being a pear shape they're quite chunky when I'm carrying extra weight.
I'm aiming to lose 1lb a week and I haven't been very disciplined so far - ok I've been on the chocolate biscuits! So got a lot of work to do before my weigh-in on Tuesday

I'm still feeling a bit off-wagon-y not getting much sleep atm and craving sugar. slipping back into old habits scarily easily, and being way too lax. haven't gained any weight but this last half stone's a bugger - never lost it after ds1. not sure what it's going to take, really. I'm cheating myself but can't seem to stop. sigh.

isn't the weather an improvement though? hopefully if I start getting more sleep the weather will motivate me!

Sorry so many "feel"s in that post

Just worked out that the 11 lbs I've lost since the New Year works out to about 300g a week! Slow and steady, I say. I feel confident I won't gain it back, it was only pregnancy x 2 that caused it, and I don't feel I'm "on a diet" as such.

Today I'm squeezing my mum bum into a pre-dc pair of jeans, and my mum tum is making a bulge in my pre-dc top but I hardly care, it feels great. I actually feel a lot more like myself in these clothes.

How's everyone else feeling?

Hi,
I've definitely fallen off the wagon - regular evening glasses of wine being the main problem. That being said, I have lost weight since starting, but probably at the rate of 50g a week or something.
Anyway, I return to work on Monday, which I'm dreading, but it does mean that I will have a bit more structure to my days, which always works for me. But on the other and, I will be sat on my arse for five hours a day....

kind of comforting to hear I'm not alone with the weird weight distribution. only a lot of mine is under my chin

I can just about shoe-horn myself into some pre-ds1 jeans but the love handles ain't pretty.

back on the wagon it is! <resolute>

Did you have a c-section pasties? That's what I'm blaming for my new tummy!

Excellent work pasties! You must be proud. Don't go gaining again though!
My weigh in was a disappointment - haven't lost anything for a few weeks. I'm stuck at 9st 4lbs (aiming for 8st as I'm short and narrow boned). Still I'm not surprised considering the very little effort I've been putting in lately.
I can just squeeze into my biggest non-maternity jeans though
Are you breastfeeding crazy? I think it really affects appetite so it's a real challenge to eat less at the same time. I've also found I'm a slightly different shape now after ds2, I've got more of a tummy that's for sure.
Really want to look good for a wedding in July. Let's climb back on the wagon together!

Oh yes, my weight is redistributed! I have an over hang where my belly is.

well done pasties! good work!

project how did your weigh in go?

I've lost motivation now I'm at my pre-ds2 weight. still have nearly half a stone to go but am being quite naughty. someone gave me an amazing pack of biscuits today and I ate 6 before checking their ww value - turns out I ate 30 points in one go. I'm allowed just over 40 a day! argh so annoyed with myself. and I keep doing stuff like this. it's like I'm sabotaging myself

and I might be at my pre-ds2 weight but I don't look it. my weight seems to be distributed in different places now. weird.

<chases wagon to try and climb back on>

HELLLLOOOOO <<waves arms around and jumps up and down a little bit>>

How is everyone going? are you still dieting? still weighing in ?? hows it all going??

I have managed to loose about the amount of weight I am happy with right now. I bought quite a few new clothes and feel quite good with my shape, I just need a new bra or two. I haven't weighed in, in a while but I'm happy enough with things at the moment

Hi crazy. Have done it. Well done on your loss, not far till your goal now!
I'm weighing in tomorrow, after procrastinating for a few weeks due to easter. Really can't wait to get back in my nice clothes.
Chocolate is my weakness too. I could live without cake, biscuits etc (if I had to, not saying I do!)
Keep it up

Hi project! thought I was the last one standing! If you could that would be great.

I'm now 10st 7lb, DS2 is 6m!

Very proud of myself. Now just need to stay away from the chocolate...so easy to start stuffing my face again.

Well done crazypaving! It feels great doesn't it?

Shall I update the stats thread for you? If so, how many weeks is your ds2 now?

that's weird. weigh-in day for me and I'm down to 10st 8lb, only 1lb off my pre-ds2 weight! I presume the excesses of this week will land on my arse next week? this weight loss thoroughly undeserved!

I've lost a whole stone!!!!

somebody slap me! I've fallen off the wagon and am going berserk with the chocolate! It's not even mine - it's DS1's!! Argh diet going to hell - I can't lose the plot now when I'm so close to my goal, help help!

Must not eat more chocolate...

Welcome Evil!

I think we're all following our own paths, but encouraging each other here and moaning a bit and whatnot as well along the way.

Crazy - yes, somehow my snacks are higher in calibre but obviously mostly bad for me still. Stupid I know!

I can see a weight loss in my face now and I'm very happy with that.

I had a free style session this weekend. Even typing that makes me cringe, but it was fab. It was with a stylist who could tell me what clothes suited me and I came away feeling a million dollars. I had worried before hand that there would be a crowd and the stylist would make me strip to my pants (like gok wan)!!!! hahahaha. She didn't though!!

Easter is passing in a sugared up headachey haze.

back to it tomorrow. <vom face.

my chocolate tolerance has reduced. feel and in equal measure!

welcome evil!

Yes, it has its own wibble.
Evil

You must have a wibbly tummy

Hello, can I join?
I'm so fat, I NEED to lose weight. Are there any rules?
Evil

thanks monkeys!

Easter is going to wreak havoc. I fully intend to gorge myself disgustingly on chocolate for one day and one day only.

can't wait

Been away for ages because of no major changes but weighed yesterday at 10st 8lb, so getting there but veery... Slowly....

Also dh is out on his works leaving do tonight so have for some reason felt the need to celebrate on his behalf with both cake AND chocolate. Hmm. Can't see a major loss next week either!

Crazy, I think if you loose weight gradually it is much more likely to stay off. You're doing great :D
