Just got a new work skirt in a size 20 and it's too tight!! I am gutted. I got down to a lovely size 12 after dc4 and I've slowly gained and gained and here I am :(
While I was in hospital after DC4, I was moaning about how much weight I had to lose and a lovely midwife said, 'all you have to do, is eat a bit less and do a bit more, and you will lose weight', so that's what I did. I lost 4 stone ! I didn't follow any diet, just ate less and did more.
Well since then, I have lost my way and have obviously reversed the idea and have been eating a bit more and doing a bit less 
but I know I can do it this way so I'm going to try again. Anyone want to join me?
I was going to start after Easter but, inspired by the tight skirt, I have started today! So, I've weighed myself and have written it in my diary and :
Eat less: I had a small bowl of porridge and an apple for breakfast instead of my usual 2 slices of buttery toast, I had one biscuit instead of, erm, 6 mid morning, I had a sandwich and a satsuma instead of a sandwich and a bag of crisps at lunch and for dinner, I had spag bol like the rest of the family but had a much smaller portion instead of matching my DH and teenage DC portion size and one small piece of garlic bread instead of three . Evenings are my absolute danger time but tonight I've had nothing :)
Do more: I took the dog for a half hour walk instead of a 10 minute 'round the block'.
So, that's how I'm going to try and drop 4 dress sizes....anyone want to join me? :)
