Anyone up for a post-natal weight loss support thread?

DC3 is now 6 weeks and I am 15kg heavier than I want to be (about 10kg higher than pre-pregnancy, when I was already a bit over my 'ideal' weight). For my health, and to get into my old clothes, I want to lose at least 10kg, preferably 15kg.

My plan is to vaguely follow Slimming World principles and aim to average at least 70,000 steps a week (10,000 a day, in line with recommendations). I also want to do it healthily and whilst avoiding emotional angst (no beating myself up that I'm naughty if one day I eat chocolate fudge cake, just careful eating overall).

Anyone want to join me? I've been promised one buddy already on another thread.

Just wanted to share my weight loss milestone. DS is 5 months today and today I've lost 3 stone-yippee! My bmi is 24, so finally in the normal range. I'd love to lose another stone before Xmas, but I'm so chuffed with myself. Grin
Would love to know how everyone else is getting on

wow, well done lazybones I had decided this thread had completely died a death but look how well you've done!
I am currently 9st8 from a starting weight of 11st3, I crept into the top of normal BMI at 10 stone and I feel so much better. I'm aiming for 9 stone.

Well done baking! Only 8lb to go. We should both be at our goal weights by Christmas.
