SAHM with young DC, fancy a weightloss/toning thread?

I'm a sahm to 3 dc (3m, 1yr & 3yr) and trying to lose the weight from DD/tone up...whilst having very little time to myself.

Anyone else in a similar boat & fancy a bit of pom pom waving support?

I'll join you! Smile

I'm a SAHM to a 2.5 year old & a 5 month old.
I put on 3 stones this pregnancy Shock and although I've manages to lose most of it, I'd like to shift another 10 lbs or so.
I've also got the wobbly belly still! It makes me look about 6 months pregnant at times!! So definitely need to do some toning!

I'm on another weight loss thread too which has been a great motivator so hopefully this will be extra help too! Smile

Wow! That's excellent loss Butterfly.

I've got half a stone or so too, but I don't mind that as much as my crepe-y midriff.

I was going to start running this week but had a small jog yesterday and think I've still got something left from the SPD...so sticking to Jillian Michaels DVDs for toning for now, how about you?

Well I've bought Davina's 7 minute dvd - alas it's still in its packaging!!
But, I will get round to using at some point soon.
My only exercise at the moment is walking, usually pushing DD in the pram.
Can't see that toning my stomach though. ...

Mondays are my official weigh day so...
10 stone 6 lbs
That's another 2 lbs loss Smile

Hurrah for 2lbs!

I'm also down 2lbd but can feel/see my thighs are getting some definition so hopefully some of that magic will start working my stomach too.

We walk everywhere too (I don't drive).

Ooh congrats!

I've generally been losing 1-2lbs a week so am happy with that.

It's my wedding anniversary in May so my aim is to be 10 stone by then which should be do-able (fingers crossed!)
