Emmsys Weebles; we all have our wobbles but we never fall down...

Moon so pleased to see you back. Tell us what's been happening, don't feel like you have to put on a happy face. We've missed you.

4ever half a stone, that's great. Did you weigh yourself just before you had dd as I know you were struggling at the end weren't you? I'm quite pleased with myself as when I stepped on the scales a few days ago I'd only put on 1 stone & 2lb so I hope I'll be able to keep the total weight gain to under 2 stone.

Barbie if she likes sweet things then you should try her on the baby porridge-type stuff.

Cupcake how does fruit turn to alcohol in your stomach?? Did I get that wrong?

Sabs I meant to say the other day, I admire your willpower over Ramadam. Can you really not even have water all day?? In August??? It must be so much easier when it falls in winter & the days are shorter.

PFJ I've been thinking about you this weekend. I know you are still in the aftermath of your latest tragedy & must be feeling pretty desolate right now.

Vjay are you starting to cut carbs tomorrow? How has your eating been this weekend?

Should we text Iggy?

Mermaid did you actually get dressed today or did you have a duvet day?

Curly if you like walking with Curlygirl then check out this buggy! Man if I was a runner I'd so want one!

Blue high heels? What is this strange language you are speaking?

Neeko I don't think you actually are supposed to cut back while you are bf'ing are you? I heard that between each meal you are supposed to have something like a piece of toast loaded with peanut butter . God I just hate seeing skinny women with tiny babies - life is so unfair sometimes!

We took dd to her first festival today, the Ben & Jerry's Sundae on the Common at Clapham Common. I've promised myself that next year when we go I'm going to get ver ver drunk! Right gotta dash as my bladder is about to explode!

I think they must dry skin brush.

heellllo moon

inspiration for the dieters

ha ha moon glad you can see how much we all miss you

iggy is Augustus, Fenella, Arabella here yet???

barbie not only can i feel the love, i can see it, you all look like little ready brek men (women)

whoooooooo moon is back
Hi lovie, sorry you are still a little down but its nice to know you are still here, can you feel the love?

As i said on the last page, dont feel like you have to catch up, just drop in from time to time so we know you are ok, i would offer you a chunk of chocolate to cheer you up but we are all dieting!!!!

< knock knock, pokes head round greenhouse door >

hello girls

just a flying visit to let you know i am here and ok, its sooo lovely that you still remember me, it means a lot that you think of me, you are all such thoughful ladies.

still very busy in rl, still loads of problems going on so hardly ever able to get on here, and when i do, i feel so behind that i could never post and catch up, and now i feel that i've left it so long, but felt i had to at least come and say hi after so many of you were wondering where i had gone. struggling with just being me atm too, not sure where i lost myself or where to find me again, and why its taking so fecking long to make a baby, that always used to be the easy part, keeping hold of it was always the problem

anyway enough of rambling, huge hugs to everyone, and baby dust to my fellow small panters.

you girls are all wonderful

Hi ladies, finally at an actual laptop not stupid phone!!

Loving the diet talk. Personally I am very to Atkins as don't get how you're allowed to eat so much fat! I think I mentioned before the Montignac diet it is brilliant and my Mum is sooo slim on it! It's gradual weight loss but sustainable unlike crash diets. I plan to incorporate some of it into my diet soon to shed some of this baby flab but like Neeko can't go too crazy cos of bfing.

It is based on the GI scale so you can actually have some carbs. It's all to do with what you eat them with. It's also no sugar allowed at all but you can have fruit sugars, and chocolate that is more than 70% cocoa solids as a snack which is actually really good for you. I know you're only supposed to eat fruit on an empty stomach with this diet, as then it gets digested immediately and doesn't sit on a full stomach turning into alcohol. I'm gonna get some more of the principles from my Mum & I'll list them along with meal ideas
I'm happy to go on the list too but don't actually own scales!! So would have to weigh in whenever I go to my Mum's Definitely got at least a stone to lose to get back into pre-preg clothes though.

Vjay dh and I really love baking too so makes it very hard for us to diet! We are lucky to both be naturally slim but now I've had a baby I feel like a right frump next to him!! We currently have chocolate cookies, custard tarts, a carrot cake and muffins in the house all baked in last couple of days

barbie LOL to dried on baby rice on boobs Jude has suddenly become very dribbly so dh and I are constantly walking around with wet patches on our clothes now!

curly are you stopping feeding cos curlygirl is hitting 6 months? I thought I would only do it for 6 months but enjoying it so much at the moment will have to see how I feel!

blue and neeko of your meetup! Have fun!

4ever love your songs idea for Summer. Sweet Child of Mine was playing on our way to hospital to have J; that was quite apt

I too miss moon & think of her a lot...please do post again when you're ready lady

Jude has managed to find his thumb finally after weeks of trying and now settles himself to sleep sucking it- so adorable! I was a thumbsucker myself til I was about 12 (and still occasionally now ) so happy to let him do it as for some reason I really don't want to give him a dummy.

Sure there was loads else I wanted to say... I'll be back.

Go iggy!

sabs get the atkins diet book and launches it across the green house at sabs

Dolly hates baby rice! had to keep adding milk...dont know if its because she is tired or whether she is going to be like mummy and prefer sweet stuff, after all she did eat loads of the pear puree

Im covered in the rice stuff, she decided to lunge at my breast with a mouth full and now its set solid....

Im up for a weekly weigh in....after i clear the fridge of all the naughty stuff

Vjay i made cookies with egg whites the other day & dh used the yolks to make egg custard tarts so yummy. or any cake u make u can add an egg yolk to make it richer. not great tips for dieting though!!

Hi vjay

I have to say that all this diet talk is inspiring me to do something as well as I have 2-3 stones to lose . Is there a diet where I can carry on eating bread, cheese, chocolate, pasta? No??

Hello ladies, just a quick post to say GO IGGY . Cant wait to hear news about our new graduate.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Will be back either tonight or tomorrow for an update. Also went to see Toy Story 3 yesterday in Imax 3d (or is that 3d imax?)

Runs before barbie throws something at her!

i would love to watch toy story 3

thanks for info re rice

Ah blue i love the name Seb too, is dh's middle name & mil wishes she'd been brave enough to make it his first name. enjoy toy story i hear its a tear jerker! would love to go.

Sorry meant to say baby rice - just a couple of teaspoons to begin with... I introduced after 11am bottle...

mermaid - at you enjoying golden 'me' time. Give your kitten a wee stroke from me.

High five mermaid and stroke for the kitten. will try to get on laptop for proper post later..just can't stop thinking about iggy so running down phone battery checking for news

Sebastian? Aways loved that name and can see Iggy with a Seb... Like Dominic too. and Samuel, Rory, Oliver...

Atkins too severe in my book, weight watchers every time - sensible points system, nothing is barred etc. did it after I got married and put on nearly a stone in as many weeks due to excessive wine drinking.

Off to see Toy Story 3 - yipeeeeeeeeeee!

Back on later.

no new bout iggy of fb... she might still be in labour, ouch!

obviously not cola bottles in the ham sandwich

curly how much baby rice to start with

mermaid awwwww kitten and dressing gown

curly just been out and bought baby rice....this has to make dolly sleep...right?????

mermaid i think i might be on the anti atkins diet...cola bottles and ham sandwich...yummy!

curly what the heck are you doing in the back of the car???????
