well done everyone

I was going to rejoin but still have 1 pound to go before back to pre-baby weight. Mind you I have made NO effort whatsoever so it's a miracle I've got this far...maybe I'll be able to join in week 52 and thus a neat 1 year on from the start of the MoFos!

for anyone who is interested, have put a couple of new photos of DS on my profile. he is soooooooo cute and still being angelic.

agalch · 28/04/2007 08:02

Hello MrsJC

Had a look at your profile,how delish your lo's are.makes me feel verrry broody looking at your ds.I know tho i can't have anymore so will just look at your's from time to time lol. Hope things are going well for you!!!

JackieNo · 28/04/2007 11:57

He's absolutely scrummy, mrsJC - deeply gorgeous. You're doing so well on the weight front - you obviously need to keep on not trying (wish it would work for me).

Went to new gym class this morning and thought I was going to die. Hey-ho. Wish there was a pill you could take ot make you slim and fit

whoopsfallenoveragain · 28/04/2007 13:34

Well done on going to the gym Ellie!
I was fit for nothing this morning after a very drunken night out!!
Does anyone know if you still could what you've eaten and drunk f you throw it all up at the end of the night? (sorry if tmi)

WigWamBam · 29/04/2007 09:24

You have beautiful children, MrsJC.

Throwing it all up later doesn't take away the calories, whoops ... unless it's immediate, your body still starts to digest it before you see it again so you can't rely on that as a way to limit calories! Hope you're feeling better now though.

whoopsfallenoveragain · 29/04/2007 11:30

That's what I though wwb!
Feeling loads better now too!

whoopsfallenoveragain · 01/05/2007 05:54

Hi how is everyone?
seems a bit quiet maybe you are all enjoying the sunshine!
I have weigh in this morning but really not sure if I have lost this week I don't feel like I have.
I can't make it to the gym either as dh is working lates and my plan to go after work has been scuppered as it is year end and I'm sure I'll end up staying on to finish things off.

agalch · 01/05/2007 07:12

Morning all

Have been really busy with the girls again.They have runny noses once more and are whingy so keeping me on my toes.Am hoping to book a hol for October on Friday so that may encourage me to lose the rest of the weight to get to my target before then.] We'll see...

Got another appt to get more of my root canal done this afternoon so gonna have a good luchh in case i am too numb/sore to eat dinner.

Girls awake so better go.Have a good day all.

JackieNo · 01/05/2007 10:44

Oh dear agalch - not fun. I've got to go to the dentist tomorrow for a filling, which I'm not looking forward to, but that's nothing compared to a root canal. Hope your DDs get better soon, too.

OP posts:
MrsJohnCusack · 01/05/2007 10:54

hellop
good luck at the dentists Agalch. And Jackie

this morning I was back to pre-pregnancy weight. Hurrah!

so I may rejoin but in a quite gentle way as am still quite hungry with the breastfeeding and general knackerdom.
Dunno

may start on Thursday with the aim of not putting on.

whoops your drunk posts were really funny

whoopsfallenoveragain · 01/05/2007 11:08

Thanks Mrs JC! I think they amused quite a few people! except for one I posted on another website which was removed

The alcohol from Friday lukily didn't affect my weight loss too much as I lost 3lb this week

agalch - good luck with the root canal

Right back to work now!

suejonez · 01/05/2007 11:18

sorry I have been quiet - DS has been very sick (throat infection) so haven't been online. ANd in my sleep deprived state I can;t even remember what I've eaten so no idea if I'm having a good or bad week . However he's back at CM today so no excuses now...

suejonez · 01/05/2007 11:19

whoops - missed your drunken posts, but am beginning to understand your MN name...

MrsJohnCusack · 01/05/2007 11:27

ah poor DS sue

I am still eating pretty much what I want. Maybe that means if I made an effort I could lose stacks - who knows?

suejonez · 01/05/2007 11:28

but better still to continue losing slowly and get into a habit that will last forever?

MrsJohnCusack · 01/05/2007 11:41

I think that feeding a huge baby is why I'm getting away with it. not sure I'm learning any good habits!
but you are right

could stop eating so many damn biscuits though. that would be a start...

WigWamBam · 01/05/2007 11:43

Poor ds - hope he's feeling better soon, Sue.

CheesyFeet · 01/05/2007 13:14

Hi all

been away for a while, RL has been interfering with my internet surfing. Work is manically busy and we have been potty training dd. All good fun

My weight loss has been virtually non existent during my time away, my total loss is now 15lb, weigh in tonight so that will hopefully be better than it has been recently.

WWB, lovely to see you back You were missed while you were away, hope you are feeling better.

Mrs JC, H is yummy, can I have him?

Hope your ds is feeling better soon Sue.

Did I miss your wedding Agalch? Hope it all went well.

I hate dentists . They are called gob butchers in our house.

I'm hoping to be a bit more regular now that life has calmed down a little so here's to a better weight loss effort on my part.

Cheers girls

JackieNo · 01/05/2007 13:16

Well done on the 3lb, whoopsfallenoveragain. Brilliant loss.

Sue, sorry to hear DS has been ill - glad he's on the mend now.

Hi CheesyFeet - nice to see you again.

CheesyFeet · 01/05/2007 13:40

Hi JackieNo

I have had the odd lurk but haven't really been posting much at all

I can feel myself being sucked back in though

JackieNo · 01/05/2007 13:41

Oh yes- it doesn't take long, does it?.

hippipotami · 01/05/2007 14:44

Hello all, can I join in? Sue sent me here - thanks Sue

I have a lot to lose, at least 4 stone. I have been doing Paul McKenna for the last 20 days (from the moment the scales tipped 22st8) and have not weighed myself since. Am too scared to...

Have to walk(!) to school now to collect the dc, but hope to be on here again later.

Thanks.

suejonez · 01/05/2007 14:48

hi hippi - I have about 8 stone to lose to be within my BMI but am currently aiming for 7lbs at a time!

Do you find Paul McKenna tapes help or is it too early to say? You shouldn't be scared to weigh - it is only a record of the reality but if you are happier judging your weight by clothes size then stick with that, you could also measure your waist and aim for inch reduction if you are unhappy with weighing. Obviously you're not going to see measurable weight loss in a week that way but I sometimes think that is a healthier way to not get so fixated on weight and more on longer term health.
