Breastfeeding mums - would you like to join me in losing some baby weight?

[choceyes]

Hi!

I have a 7.5 month old DD and I slowly I have lost about 1.5 stones, despite eating everything that is bad for me. I do however have a 2.4yr old toddler who keeps me active, so I guess I'm losing the weight cos of runnign around after him!

I still have a stone to lose though to get back to my pre DD weight. I lost all 2.5 stones and more within 5 months of giving birth to DS. So this time around it's much slower.

I'm still almost exclusively breastfeeding as DD is BLW and hardly eating anything yet.

i want to lose about a pound a week so I am back to my prepreg weight by July when I go back to work.

Anyone fancy joining me??

i'll join! ds is 16 weeks excl bf. I got weighed on sat 12st 5/6 my pre pregnancy weight was 10st. i'd like to get down to under 12 stone b4 my holiday in may (late may)

Me too! DD is 13 weeks and we ebf and i need to loose 10 lbs to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, but actually need to loose approx 1st 7lbs to be where I want to be!

Back to work in August so would like to be at goal by then.

Was thinking of joining 'Pushy Mothers' and dusting off the Wii .

Any other tips?

i've just eaten a big bar of dairy milk :( bf munchies lol is there any hope 4 me?

choceyes, I'm with you! DD is 19weeks and EBF.

pinkyp- I'm about the same as you, over 12 stone now and trying to get back to 10 stone.

Have started walking one evening a week after DP gets in from work. Before morning sickness kicked in, I was swimming before work 2-4 mornings a week or running in evenings. My plan is to lose a bit through swimming and walking before I start running again. Thinking about enrolling in a pilates class.

I'll join! Great thread :)

DS is 7 weeks tomorrow, and I'm have 1.5 stones to lose. That will put me above pre-pregnancy weight but should be a safe size 8. Tbh I don't need to be that skinny again. I'd hope to be there by mid-July when we go on holiday.

So far, I've just been eating healthily. I've also been walking quite a bit with DS, but I need to build muscle and tone. I have a stepper machine (argh!) and want to try something new - any suggestions? Maybe I'll take DS swimming ...

What kind of things are people eating? Is it possible to lo-carb while breasfeeding?

Don't know about low carb but have decided that on the 3 days DS is in nursery (wether permitting, we will walk there and back. also thinking of starting to swim regularly too.

Well i've took on some more territory with avon now the weathers picking up so that should get me out and about walking, hopfully earning some extra £ to buy slimmer clothes....:/

Hi ladies, I'd love to join! My DD is 7 weeks old and my older DD 2 years and one month. I have about 2 stone to lose and am planning to do it by trying to eat sensibly and walking.

My DP has recently stopped eating sugary things and even though I haven't been as good as him, my intake of chocolate, cookies etc has gone right down. I've been buying my favourite dark choc & enjoying a couple of pieces of it every now and again, happy not to have DP there going "I don't really like dark chocolate but can I have some"? And then eating most of it.
