Me, I'm in, big, fat overweight mum of 8 week old! Can't believe how enormous I am post baby, thought breastfeeding would have me back at 8 stone in about a week

clairabelle · 01/01/2004 20:05

Me please but would probably take me until 2014 to get 'back' to 8 st!

Well my DD is 20 months now and I am determined to diet starting this weekend. Not innto weighing though (never have done) but tend to go by the way my clothes fit. Hoping to follow the WW points - has worked for me in the past.

Lisa78 · 01/01/2004 20:08

oh yuck, don't have to follow specific diet do I? Was planning on avoiding MacD's (the ee i ee i oh shop, as my friends DS calls it!) and galaxy bars instead

OK count me in - will be blaming my blobby body on kids when they are 18 if I dont get started soon - so I can lose a stone for DS (aged 4) and another for DD (7 months) - to get to 8 stone would require amputation of too many essential limbs.

Have to say that I am deeply disappointed that the breastfeeding diet did not result in huge weightloss despite fact that both babies were enormous as a result of my obsession that just one more feed a day would result in model like figure...

Will weigh tomorrow - I can already hear my screams as I realise I possibly weigh more now than morning of birth!

Can I have alcohol and takeaways if I don't eat for a week to make up for it?

Beccarollover · 01/01/2004 21:36

hey hey hey mrs!! i was just actually polishing off two slices of toast with marmite - I miss toast when Im on a diet as dont tend to eat much bread

Is it ok if im following my weight watchers? therefore may be having alcohol but all within my points allowance?

Im CRINGEING already about tomorrow - all public weights yeah?

Im up for it and totally commited, Im NOT going to waste all of my effort from before christmas

princessinapeartree · 01/01/2004 22:09

count me in!
coddy you can be fascist about weighing in, but not fascist about the mode of weight loss - do whatever works for you all (just looking after you becca and your glass of wine of an evening!)

I am going to be following a charming little book called "the Fat Burning Diet". No idea what it involves but with a name like that I had to buy the book!

Right, now off to have my last choc...

Beccarollover · 01/01/2004 22:10

bugger, forgot about all of the boxes of chocs in the cupboard - wonder if i could polish them all off before i go to bed!

thanks for protecting my right to party pph - down coddy down stop biting my ankles

wilbur · 01/01/2004 22:40

I'm in too, need to lose 2 stone or I will have to throw out all my clothes. I've just finished feeding dd and she is a whale, so why am I not a sylph? Might be something to do with the very delicious chocolate mousse I made for NYE. Hmmm, still two portions left, might go and have one now, for old times' sake.

emmatmg · 02/01/2004 08:08

Ohhhh can I join in too?
DS3 is 3 months now and by the time DS1+2 were this age I was already back in my own clothes.....some of them new smaller sized ones. This time however I still in some of the new larger size ones.

No scales in the house so will go to Boots and do the weigh in there.......IN PUBLIC......eeekkkkkk
