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

11 stone 10 lb..... dairy free and 5 miles a day walking and BF but eating what I like (bar dairy and soy which I can't eat due to LO reflux) has me losing 2 lb a week consistently now. When my cousins wife had to cut out soy and dairy she lost 1.5 stone in a month - my sister lost rapidly too - however they have taught me all the naughty foods I can still eat (hello kettle chips and pork pies I'm talking to you!). I'm happy with losing 2 lb a week.. even if it means another 10 weeks.... pah am off dairy til November anyhoo!

Well done all other losers with slightly less wibbly tums!

Weighed in and miraculously I am still 9 stone 6!! Woohoo.

I've done we'll today, even went to costa coffee and only had a diet Pepsi - it was hard resisting cake/ toasted tea cake though!

likewise pasties. keep the faith eh!

crazypaving!! that made me chuckle!! sometimes I do sneaky (stupid) mid week weigh in's and if I am doing well with the weight loss I seem to relax and allow myself some treats and low and behold by Monday I have bearly lost anything at all. I do find it very helpful to have to post my weight here though, otherwise I would have given up weeks ago and said Eff it all!!?

interim midweek weigh for me and I've gained a lb I guess after my epic 4lb loss last week something like that was going to happen. my body's probably desperately clinging to fat and chucking what little muscle I have in the bin. bastard body.

I weighed in this morning, I lost 300g!! Yikes. Bad week. Pretty relieved to see weight went down, but not by much!!!??

Uggh- I'm back. Great hols but zero restraint, especially on the beer. Sigh. Am back on the wagon. weighed this morning- 10st 5lbs, but feeling really bloated so hoping some of that is just water retention from the flight. Back on the wagon today. Need a good week to get me back on form.

Forkoff what Yoga DVD do you have?

I think that's the key Tiger having an event in mind to aim for. Mind you, I wouldn't take advice from me, I haven't lost a pound for about 3 weeks

I'm sneaking back in!

I lost all motivation after hitting my first target of 9 stone 6. I haven't weighed for a few weeks, and I'm fairly sure a couple of pounds have sneaked back on. Will weigh in tomorrow.

I bought a lovely dress for SIL's wedding in 3 weeks. It's a size 10 and fits/fastens but would look nicer if I was a few pounds lighter. So I'm being strict for the next few weeks!

oh dear I'm struggling a bit. really tired and ds1 being quite challenging. diet suffering as a result. really doing my best to log everything and not cheat the ww system but it's a bit depressing. have a horrible feeling I'm going to get stuck at 11st

Good luck with the exercise Forkoff.

The only thing I seem to be able to keep to is staying clear of carbs at dinner time. Ah well, it's slowly helping.

Ahhh, finally I've come to the end of a solid month working every evening and weekend, and I'm ready to get on with this. Sophia and YellowWellies, your starting points were lost similar to mine so you're ny inspiration (and making me ). I'm going to have a long soak with a glass of wine and a crappy mag tonight, then tomorrow I'm all guns blazing.

I'm hoping to have time to get into an exercise routine for the first time since DS was born, and am planning this:

Monday: C25k
Tuesday: kettlebells
Wednesday: C25k (with my DM!)
Thursday: Davina DVD or rest, depending how I feel
Friday As Thursday
Saturday: kettlebells
Sunday: yoga DVD

Can't wait. I absolutely love to be fit.

just had belated pancake day...haven't dared log the points yet and I'm still hungry after 3 pancakes. boo. they were amazing though!

Thank you for welcomes!

Yes Crazypaving I fear I will never be the same again..... 3 words.... Pelvic. Floor. Exercises.

Does this thread have magic powers? Other than the baby / offal weight I'd lost nothing in 8 weeks. I've now lost a whole two pounds in the last 2 days.

I watched the Myth of Exercise and have banned myself from sitting down except when BF, driving and eating a meal. I'm knackered by about 2pm.

Well, I was going to weigh myself today but I forgot until after i'd eaten breakfast so I decided to wait until tomorrow instead... In any case I've ordered some digital scales as my old analogue ones really aren't precise enough to show up any tiny amount i may have managed to lose! So I might hang on until they arrive.

I've been eating a bit better the last few days - not gorging myself on cake all the time!

pasties, can really empathise with stress eating. I've only stopped doing that because of the accountability of ww points. I've been desperate to cram chocolate in my gob most days.

Welcome Dye.

Well done Crazypaving, you're doing well.

I have been having a wierd week. I ate a whole load of chocs yesterday. tress induced face stuffing.

dye 10lb 10oz?? well done you!!

well the weight watchers magic is still working! I've lost 4lb this week but realised last night I was being unnecessarily careful and had barely used my weekly allowance. will eat more this week but apparently dropping to 11st 1lb is some sort of trigger and I am allowed one less point a day, doh!!

glad I'm doing this now while I'm ebf and before ds2 starts solids - seems to be really working for me. am very proud of myself all the hunger and feelings of deprivation have been worth it! and I'm re-learning what sensible eating looks like, after a few years of gluttony!

This is the thread for me! My pre pregnancy weight was 9 and a half - I'm now 11 and a half and the baby is 8 weeks. He's my 3rd and I've barely shifted a pound this time. Am EBF but it makes little difference to my weight loss - I've cut out all sugary food except a couple of glasses of cava on a Friday. DS3 was 10lb10oz and I fear my stomach was stretched to the point of no return....wondering if it'll have to be a no bread / no carb regime soon. Grim.

Anyone looked at the 5:2 while EBF? I'm not sure it's recommended - and not sure I could even do it - but wondered if anyone done a version of it?

Ooow thanks Visualise. No tips really. My dh asked me what I was doing as well and I was embarrassed to reveal 'not a lot' I'm just not eating the amazing amounts if crap that I was before! Bad habits creep up on you. During pregnancy and when the baby was still little I was eating chocolate by the ton, plus coke, plus tons of carbs ie toast, bagels etc and pan au choc's and eating whenever and whatever I wanted!?

I am avoiding bread. And I'm trying to resist carbs with my evening meal. I'm avoiding chocolate. But I'm having the occasional treat when I'm stressed. I'm trying to eat better. I'm very relieved to have shifted some weight, I was not looking great.

Sorry to hear of stress etc with jobs and moves etc my dh is (fingers-crossed) going to be made redundant on Fri. there are lots of jobs in his field so he's not worried about finding something else - so the money will go on CC debt.

visualise I would like to get to 10 1/2 stone but. 11 is my first target and will get me back in my work clothes.

pennie love the idea of a disco half hour. I find it difficult to fit exercise in at the weekends when all four kids are at home but the girls would love that!

yw congrats on this thread too! I am weighing in on Fridays so I ave got time to claw back any weekend faux pas!

Xx

11 stone 12 lb - its taken days to have sufficiently empty boobs, bowel, bladder etc in the morning to get weighed. Am well chuffed. Under 12 stone FINALLY!
