New mummies with wibbly tummies.

[ValiumQueen]

All new mummies welcome. Any exercise and/or weight loss programme acceptable, so long as it is healthy.

Wow those scallops sound good. I have eaten tonnes today, but tracked the lot and will modify the rest of the week. Milk supply seems better already

Well, I actually managed some exercise today! Just a brisk walk but that's more than I have been doing! Now all I have to do is keep it up and stop pinching DD1's christmas chocolate

Got Zumba this morning. There is something so wrong about a load of thirty-something women galloping around, sexy Gangnam Style... but it's such good fun.

You know what, I am so old busy that I don't even know what Gangnam style is?!

here ya go- enjoy! I'm sure when you hear it you'll say "Oh so that's what's been assaulting my ears for the last 6 months"

Have fun richman I started Zumba this week and loved it.

Bad start to the Day Dh has taken the boys to Costa along with my delicious shake shaker, I think he thought it was DS1s beaker or something. Plonker. So have had a cup of tea and a slice of toast.

They have just all tumbled in the door so I shall go and investigate.

I felt obliged to watch 20 seconds of that. Thanks, my life is enriched

Back on it today. Porridge for breakfast then I need to do the supermarket shop before I decide on the rest.

First week done-4lb off!!

Nice work Gillian. I just got busted by DS eating chocolate covered pretzels- doubly bad because they were actually DH's Christmas present from my sister and I didn't tell him I was eating them. DS grassed me up.

Anyway, they got confiscated so now it's just chicken breast and salad for dinner.

Really want a glass of wine as well. Dry January sucks.

Back in pre-pg jeans!! (Just) still need to lose 12lbs to meet pre-pg weight so not sure how that works - can see I'm still soft round the middle - but I'm taking this as encouragement..

Way to go utopian!

Feeling good today - no shred, but have had two walks in the cold which was ace.

Also, I've discovered cold herbal/fruit teas! Much nicer to drink than plain old water and no sugar. I just make up a jug, and then cool it in the fridge and drink it throughout the day. LO likes it too!

Good stuff gillian and Utopian

Well done utopian :)

I've had a really bad day - can of coke and a boost bar. If you're going to have a chocolate bar i think boost is probably the worst one to choose - they are pretty much all sugar! Still, i've been pretty good the rest of the week so I'm not going to beat myself up too much.

I have been managing to be as active as I can, walking faster, more and further than I was when I was being a lazy arse.

I managed to squeeze into pre pregnancy shorts, that felt good. They are really faded and old though so maybe when I loose a bit more weight I'll treat myself to some nice ones!!

It's been nice to feel back in control again to be honest - I started to get used to just stuffing my face all the time because of stress, and it did not take the stress away - just made me big and fat!

Brilliant gillian and utopian

So so day yesterday:

1 toast
1 delicious shake
Lw fat leek and potato soup and wheaten bread
Hairy dieters lamb and potato curry
2 birthday brownies

DHs b day. Whoops!

Eek, weigh day tomorrow!! Good luck everyone!

My weigh-in will have to wait until Tuesday. Tomorrow I will be attached to all sorts of heavy monitors etc that means I can't lepp onto scales. not the slightest bit relieved about the reprieve

We just had slimming world baked bean lasagne for dinner, was quite nice

this thread has gone kinda quiet. Is that because a few people are struggling? can we offer some support? shout out if you need some :)

It all went wrong when I received my Christmas present off my little sister (she forgot to post it, so only just got it!!). There was some chocolate in it.

I ate the whole packet in one go. Oh the shame.

But still, no booze since the 1st of January, and 9 Shred workouts done...I'm going to move up to Level 2 of the Shred tomorrow. Wish me luck :)

9 shreds visualise ?! That's brilliant - I haven't even opened the box!

I will go for a good walk tomorrow while DD1 is in nursery - you have all witnessed me say that!

Visualise Excellent shredding and dont worry about the chocolate. If you look at the calorie content, it's probably less than 1000 calories- 30% of a pound of fat- so it hasnt done much damage as a one-off. It's when eating 500 calories of chocolate becomes a daily habit that you're going to have problems. 80/20 rule, and all that.

Weighed in this morning (yes, it's already morning here in HK) and I'm down to 10st 6lbs (loss of 3lbs since I stareted 10 days ago). 6lbs to go, but have a feeling those babies are going to put up a little more resistance.

I've just weighed in and i'm down 2.8 pounds (1.3 kg) in 7 days. I'm happy! I had a pig out yesterday so must try and be a bit more sensible next weekend :) I ate a stale pan au chocolate! what was I thinking? it wasnt even nice. I could excuse a proper treat that I enjoyed but eating something stale is just dumb!!!! (never mind)

Well done RichMan and pasties.

I'm a bit quiet because after my blowout day on Friday (i did track still, it came out of my WW weeklies) I've put my weight back on. Feeling a bit demoralised but still sticking with it. DS won't be put down at the moment, so I'm not exercising.

Hey guys!!! Sorry haven't really posted this week. Been an emotional week with meltdowns on breastfeeding/being ill blah blah blah so haven't really done much in terns of thinking about food and exercise . BUT back on track and feel 110% again so will be weighing in later .

Will catch up on thread too so hope u all have been good
