Hello, my little man is 5 weeks old today and is doing really well,putting on average 2oz a day. I was just wondering, as I have seen on other boards, has anyone lost all there baby weight yet? And if so, what do you eat in an average day and what is your portion sizes like, as there seems to be a lot of people back to per pregnancy weight already.
I put on approx 2 stone when pregnant, I was quite fit, walking 4 to 5 miles a day through pregnancy ( even the day before I went into labour) and before I got pregnant I weighed 8 stone.
before i got pregnant I had to watch what I ate quite a lot, but maintained my weight at 8 stone, I cycled and ran loads as well as doing weight training. I now eat slightly more but all healthy stuff, and can't get the scales to budge from my initial weight loss was after having little one, I am now 9 stone. This is what I eat, please someone tell me if its normal portion sized:
Breakfast- 1x packet oat so simple made with water and a dash of milk.
Snack- apple
Lunch- half a sandwich made with tuna (low fat mayo), low fat shape yogurt, walkers baked crisp.
Dinner-cottage pie, corn beef hash etc (hearty meals) about 1/4 plate full and remaining plate with LOTS of veg.
Snack after dinner- small choc bar
Drinks- lots (and i mean LOADS) of tea made with milk and 1 or 2 sugars ( sweet tea craving?) water etc.
I work out every day (walk, weight training) on weekends I do have cake biscuits etc.
I am ebf, does anyone else seem to be stuck at a certain weight? And what are your portions like? Sorry to go on, I'm just wondering if I can easily get rid of this stone? And does anyone find it comes of when little one is a certain age e.g 3 months when they take more?
Oh I'm 5ft 4
Thank you
