Welcome mam Smile

Can someone add me please?

Applecrumple: waist 31", hips 41" baby 17 weeks old ebf

Aim to go for a walk every day - my back won't allow me to do anything more strenuous & I have a Velcro baby anyway. Will also continue to eat healthily.

Think I may be similar to you yellow in not being able to lose weight, but we shall see. Btw, are you taking a calcium suppliment? I'm not sure if I should be taking one or not as am not eating dairy

NanoNinja · 07/01/2013 11:44

yellow wellies - sounds as though exercise will sort you out! Good luck with the move. Another thought (that I'm trying to console myself with) is that some people lose it in steps rather than a consistent decline I might wake up tomorrow and have shed a stone! Maybe. In the meantime, good eating and exercising can only be a good thing for the health of mum and baby.

apple, the same thing crossed my mind, but I haven't done anything about it yet.

YellowWellies · 07/01/2013 11:54

Apple yep we should both be taking a calcium supplement - I keep forgetting mine :(

Sophiathesnowfairy · 07/01/2013 12:02

Thank you. Am just going to end of tether off now I have got everyone to bed. Sky box has Definately given up the ghost. Angry and irritated emoticon.

Lambzig · 07/01/2013 12:09

Hello, pleae can I join you? I hate starting a fitness/diet regime in the new year, it feels doomed to failure, but DS is 8 weeks and I didnt want to start before Christmas, so starting today. Mainly motivated by fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes and being fed up that I have put on weight this pregnancy (somehow got away with it with DD).

I am going to do Weightwatchers online as I know this works for me (I think my inner geek likes filling in the numbers and making a little chart) and try to do my DVDs and make it to some Buggyfit classes.

Please can you add me:

I'm another one who probabley won't loose anything until i can start exercising. I've done some plank and a bit of walking but Velcro baby isn't letting me do much more.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 07/01/2013 13:32

lamzig I use the Sainsburys diets for the same reason, I like the diary and the charts, and I dare not lie to my food diary for some reason. Grin

INeedThatForkOff · 07/01/2013 13:59

Managing some exercise! DD fell asleep so I put DS in his pram and put Davina on. It's intense with rest intervals which is why I can type. I'm jiggling as we speak Grin

Perhaps we could have a Volunteer to message results to for next week, who can then compile a list, otherwise we may be on a new thread by the time they all come in Grin

I will do it if nobody else volunteers

NappyHappy · 07/01/2013 14:17

Here are my stats:

Nappy Happy 14st 9lbs Goal 12st FF

3rd day with no bread and no sugar in hot drinks. Shall being going to the co-op later when I've picked up ds1 from school and dropped him off home. DH had just had all his meds so will be asleep for 5pm!! Taking the babies with me though, need to get what I forgot to order from Tesco.

Since Ive cut the bread I've been pooping pebbles!!

VQ, he slept? Excellent!!

NappyHappy · 07/01/2013 14:18

And not weighed myself yet this week.

YellowWellies · 07/01/2013 14:42

I'll volunteer but we're moving house so will be unpacking a moving van and might be without internet from Thurs to next Mon so someone might need to take over for this week's weigh in only.

Right - everyone not yet on the list who wants to be on the list, please PM me your start, current and target weight, also the gender / age of your DD or DS in weeks and whether they are EBF, MF or FF. Or if you're measuring by inches or dress size send me your start, current and goal stats.

Please PM your info in one go, not dribs and drabs as that'll help me to keep on track and not get muddled! Just send whatever info you are comfy sharing - all questions are purely optional :) I'll post a full list on thursday evening this week so PM me before then ideally. Ta mucho!

INeedThatForkOff · 07/01/2013 14:54

Workout done Think my pedometer has arrived too, so might get the DCs out in the buggy for some fresh air.
