Before children didn't have a problem with my weight, put 3 stone on with each pregnancy, left with a stone to lose after DS1 and lost it within 12 months.
Found myself with a stone to lose after DS2, 5 years later and it's still there, and in the last 8 months has had another one to join it.
have tried weightwatchers, was really hungry and after a month didn't lose anything.
have tried slimming world, and after a month I got bored with eating the same things, I'm a receipe type of person and not very good with meal ideas.
tried e-diets, again worked for a month, and I got bored with the menu selection available.
e-diets put me at 1200 cals a day so have tried calorie counting too, but it isn't working for me.
I don't think I eat unhealthily but am obviously doing something wrong, typical day:
Breakfast: 2 x weetabix, semi skimmed milk and a glass of juice, or 2 x toast, juice and cup of tea
Lunch - sandwich from butty van - usually tuna or egg - quavers and fruit salad
Dinner - pasta in pesto with parmesean, or chicken with baked potato or salad
Snacks: fruit, usually a selection of berries or seeds to munch on
weekends, Friday chippy tea - roast on a sunday and wine Fri and Sat night.
keep active, use the stairs, play with Ds's - no formal exercise as in the gym since before last Christmas.
I really feel like crying atm, I'm 5ft 1 and have tipped 11 stone for the first time this week (without a baby inside me that is.
So the two things mumsnetters ...
ideas for a diet that I can stick to for more than a month
a kick up the backside to stop feeling sorry for myself
