The wibbly tummies' new thread - (not so) round two...

Just checking in, will weigh in later!

Hello - sorry didnt realise this thread was here!

Weight loss fail, only a pound so far.

hi all! thanks for new thread.

I'm on day 4 of weight watchers and think it's quite telling that I'm STARVING all the time. which must just indicate the extent of my overeating before? also have permanent headache, probably partly due to sugar withdrawals and partly due to pretty extreme sleep deprivation. I'm exhausted and have a cough/cold, so pretty miserable and not up for doing exercise of any kind.

I'm eating fruit like there's no tomorrow as it has no points on ww but it doesn't fill me up! also treated myself to a slice of chocolate cake yesterday then was horrified to find it was 18 points, which was almost half my day's allowance. gutted. trying to adjust what I eat and find foods that are low in points to stop feeling hungry all the time, cos that just makes me grumpy and miserable. not ideal with 2 very small, demanding boys to look after...

Oooooh 1 stone off now 11st. Just 1st 4lb to go!

Clothes finally starting to fit. Just don't like my csection overhang :(

Just C&P the comments on the other "new thread" to this one so that we dont lose anyone's comments

Iheartpasties well i shall weigh in soon, pretty much dreading it because i had kfc for lunch yesterday and pizza for dinner!!? wtf?? i was ill, so were both dd's. no excuse but there you go it happened.

PennieLane Wow, didn't realise we'd filled a thread. Marking place for weigh-in tmrw.

Iheartpasties 4th Feb = 69.9kg (0.3kg, 0.66 pounds lost) TOTAL SO FAR = 6.56 pounds (3 kg) I am relieved that I didnt put on any weight. I also had a fizzy drink and a chocolate bar yesterday. This morning I just had a necturine instead of a slice of toast with nutella on it! That felt like a victory!

Iheartpasties Hi PennieLane, I was starting to feel lonely on this thread!!!

Cool- I'm glad you got some "me time" and that your DS behaved :-). I've got to get back into exercising now that DD is closer to being one than none (she was 6mo on Saturday). At the moment I do Zumba on Saturday mornings and try to walk everywhere with DD, but I am in danger of becoming "skinny fat" (i.e. not technically overweight but with high body fat/low muscle tone) so I should do some weights a few times a week- I used to be the Kettle Bell Queen but alas no longer.

Anyway, weighed in this morning. Was 10 stone exactly, so have lost 1lb this week and 9lbs since Christmas. 4lbs to go until target. Aiming for 1lb by Friday, when we go on holiday, then maintain.

Focus, Richman, focus!!

Utopian, I agree with RichMan. Remember also that your DS will soon grow up and become more independent and settled, so enjoy him while he's tiny and don't worry about the lack of exercise.

Me too. Bad bad weekend. Ds really really hard work. Dd teething. Had 3 glasses of wine last night when they'd gone to bed .....and a takeaway pizza. If I've lost any weight this week it will be nothing short of a miracle. 5 days till bikini day.

Thanks for the link utopia - just marking place while stuffing face

Found you! So, Utopian I think you're being really really hard on yourself. Realistically you are not going to be able to exercise "properly" until you get to the stage that your DS can be left with your DH or other person for a hour or so. However, you also need to take it pretty easy over the first 3 months. The reason you're not advised to exercise before 6 weeks is because your body (in particular your uterus and cervix) need time to resume their usual positions (6 week check is to ensure this has happened). Also, especially if you're bf, your joints will be looser than they were, so it pays to be careful with high impact sports like running and ball sports that involve repetitive movements. I still have problems with my right shoulder because I started playing competitive tennis when I was bf DC1 and basically injured it serving. At the time I was desperate to get back to it. Now I cant understand why I didn't wait a few more months.

Guess what I'm saying is that while I understand you want to get back to normal, you don't want to accumulate injuries as that will hamper you long term.
