OK so I put on like 68lbs with my son. I went from a size 8-10 at 119lbs to 16-18 at 187, and at 5ft1 u can imagine what I looked like, eekkk!! 16 weeks to the day n Ive lost 34lbs, i am now a 14-16 with another 34lbs to go. I know I should be happy with the weight I have lost, but I stalled after a while n I slipped into old bad habits of take outs, pinching my Hubby's work snacks etc, I've lost momentum. I thought I'd do ultra slim (tesco slim fast), had 1 shake n by dinner I was starving, caved n ate crap. Now I feel miserable. I don't know what to do, anyone else feel like this? Help x

I put on 2 and a half stone when I had my DD in August 2007, and lost 3 stone by the time I returned to work 11 months later. I have kept the weight off.

I did it by following the Rosemary Conley plan for dinners, slim fast for breakfast and weight watchers for lunch! I swapped it around depending on what I was doing that day e.g if I was going out to see a friend id take a bottle of slim fast with me for lunch or a weight watchers ready meal if I was going to a friends house for lunch / dinner. All my friends knew I was on a diet, were really supportive and didn't mind.

I bought the wi fit and did the jogging etc - I used my stairs at home as a 'exercise machine' to run up and down. I did one step up, one step down, two steps up two steps down and so on and so on. By the time I returned to work I was a size 8 from a size 14 (tight 14).

I would say keep at it! Let your scales be your motivation, only weigh in once a week - you can do it!

Sit down and menu plan, look for new recipes and try to vary what you eat so your body needs to work harder.

I got stuck on slimming world, so got some new recipes and they really helped.
