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

Iheartpasties - WELL DONE!! Sounds like you're doing really good :) Any tips ;)

This last week has been awful - barely out of the house, never mind DVD's. And I just ate a Cadbury's Caramel. And I'm considering eating the other one in the fridge...I'm feeling very low at the moment - There's a job going where we used to live, and OH is pondering over it. I REALLY want him to go for it, I loved living there and think about it every day. We should've never moved away in the first place.

Thanks, visualise, my sister didn't lose much until about six months, so I guess it's in my genes. In the meantime, I'll just continue with the healthy eating and trying to get in the exercise.

Good luck for this week everyone.

Oh for goodness sake, I've put back on the feeble half a pound I lost last week. Need to get in the right mindset. I discovered the 17 day diet yesterday, anyone got any experience of it? Think it might help me to be following something 'official' rather than just hoping to eat less...

Well done to everyone who's done well

I weighed in on Monday and I had lost 1.8 kg (3.96 pounds) My total lost so far = 4.8 kg (10.5 pounds). I am extremely happy. It seem I am managing little amount each week and then last week a bit more and it just makes me hopeful that I can reach my goal weight even if it takes 8 more weeks.

My smallest LO is 13 weeks now and I'm so greatful that breastfeeding is still going well, and that makes me greatful for the small weight losses I am getting each week. It was and has always been important for me not to fuck up the breastfeeding!

I have bought some small dumbells to try and tone up my upper arms - they're flabby atm and means lots of tops are too tight in that area.

Good luck to every one this week.

Hi Wibblers. I've been well and truly off the wagon throughout February so far, with parties and a wedding weekend (and a 'sod it' attitude which I obviously haven't shaken). I'm back on it today to undo the damage and lose some more - I desperately need to!

Nano - I was the same while BF - never lost ANY weight until I stopped. My mum said the same too. I would just continue to eat healthily, and then when you do stop BF, the weight should just drop off as you won't have to change your eating habits etc.

Lost a whole lb again this week ! So nearly at target weight but still very wibbly.

Bought a pedometer yesterday as velcro baby doesn't look like she is going to let me do any other exercise any time soon!

Well done crazy - I am glad it's working for you - gives me some hope! Don't want to give up on it too soon, but will swap to the healthy and filling program for the time being, since I think that may well help with my habit of eating unhealthy snacks which are still within my points. I know it shouldn't matter where the calories come from, but I think it does!

poor you nano, that's tough at least you didn't pay for ww hey. fwiw I'd kill to be at your starting weight...not that that helps you much!!

ww is making the weight drop off of atm (sorry nano ) I've lost another lb or 2 since thurs but will wait to weigh in officially then. I'm amazed, no diet/exercise program has ever worked for me. thank god being hungry all the time is actually making some kind of difference!!

Oh lord, up to 58.3 kg which is almost what I started at. A week of ww hasn't done me any favours. I am definitely one of those people for whom breastfeeding makes the weight stick. Wonder whether its even worth trying to lose weight...

I'm in my pre-pregnancy jeans!! woohoo!! never mind my tummy overhang when I forget to suck it in all the time and never mind that there are pre-ds2 jeans rather than pre-ds1 jeans, they aren't maternity jeans!!

is it possible to tone up abdominals satisfactorily ever again or am I doomed to a life of overhang? I can't find my abdominals to check if they're separated or not which is annoying. I didn't have this problem after ds1 which makes me worry that perhaps they are separated?

I'm still hungry all the time but hey, ww works and I still get to have treats

Well I've had lots of treats this weekend. With a Monday weigh in weekends seem to be my downfall! We ate out for lunch today. I bought some weights today though, I need to tone up my arms they are too flabby for most tops atm.

I'm not sure what our plans for valentines day will be.

Finally got round to weighing myself yesterday - 74kg. I was 65kg before my last pregnancy, so that is my target, Seems rather daunting.

Nice one Sophia!! What's your target?

I do fancy giving the 5:2 a go....I've just never done a 'proper' diet like that before. I just stop eating in between meals for a few days, and it never lasts very long before I start snacking again. I think it might help if I had a proper set of rules to follow.

I wondered about the 5:2 but I work best actually eating properly so decided to give it a miss.

Gt myself down into the 11s am so pleased. 11stone 12 on Fri.

Sorry ladies, it's been a while :)

Been working out, Shred going well. I'm just doing Level 3 every day now. Anyone got any other 20 minute workout DVD's they can recommend?

Also....fancy having a go at that new fangled 5:2 diet. How does it work...do I need to buy the book?

Yes it is a hard time to lose weight. Slowly slowly is the key for me :)

Sorry that all sounded really negative - on the plus side, we are actually doing it so it can't be impossible

I'm still struggling on! Have been thinking and I reckon this must be the hardest time in our lives to try to lose weight, because:

knackered from looking after babies all day (& poss other dc)
not enough sleep
limited chance to exercise
limited time to meal plan/get motivated/even think about it
tempting to eat leftovers from dc like weirdo ds1 who hates eating
need food for energy more than ever
need food for comfort more than ever!
breastfeeding means appetite higher/body trying to hold on to fat

• probably more than I haven't even thought of...

Good luck to all of us!

yw I hear you on the empty bladder plus big feed - amazing what a difference it makes!

and tiger, I would actually kill someone for Pringles atm.

I am still STARVING. STARVING!!!!! I am tired of being perpetually hungry! what am I doing wrong? I've been doing ww for 8 days now, surely it should be getting easier? I just want to stuff myself with toast and butter and feel full for the first time in over a week. sob.

DS had me up half the night and I need fat and salt!
