Eddas weight loss thread, come and help me lose some weight, purrrrlease

[Eddas]

Hope that's a better title

Ah, bugger it - it's only a number - I am 15st 8 lbs. I put on a stone in a month, now lost 6lbs - so I hit 16st

you're right it's only a number, as dh keeps telling me, but it's still hard to tell people. I at the weight i must've been when 9months pg, i know it's 'allowed' but i must have been some weight! But then I was heavily pg over easter and people actually bought me eggs, then I got loads of choccies after having ds, yum

I was 14 after giving birth, 12 when I got pregnant - it just keeps going up and up!

i actually wasn't that much heavier when pregnant with the twins... about 15 1/2 stone at the end. my weight gain came when on maternity leave and i had access to the biscuit tin all day...

im to to say mine but can also chart your weightloss with slim fast. its free and nice to see yourself coming down on the chart.

Just had my choccie slimfast. kids being horrible today so its hard going need chocolate but resisting.may be pms to so not best time to start diet!

eddas just up the a2 then!

wow for those that have already lost so much.

The food may yaste yum but leaves us feeling awful about our selves so why do we do it?

2 yrs ago before dd3 i was a 12/14 and i loved it felt so good and im determined i will get there again.

We all will not without a tantrum or 2 along the way!!!

Its taken nearly a year as my dd will be 1 next month and I started the diet when she was about 6 weeks old, However have stayed the same since June but now feel ready to give it another go and loose the final stone (know will still be on the heavy side for 5ft6 but love food too much to starve myself any thinner) Should take me to a comfortable 14 .

year for me as well. hate it that my mum keeps telling me "you've just had twins" that excuse doesn't wash for me anymore... time to take some action! am off for that walk now bbs

hi can i join to even if i havnt given birth yet!!! iam due in 10 days!! my god ive battled with my weight since i can remember! the year before i feel pg i lost just over 3 stone. which look me to a 12/14, xmas came and went which took me to a 14. must have gained all the weight bk, feel sick to think of how i will look after baby!! iam going to wait to new year b4 i really get down to it, i just no how hard it is. ive been a carb monster for the last 9 mnths.
but have to b positive, ive done it b4 so i can do it again!! it didnt take long last time. xxx i cant tell u how much i weigh cos i close my eyes when midwife weighs me!!! hahaha

Cant bleieve you are days of giving birth and worried about losing the weight! Enjoy the last few days of having a great excuse to stuff your face! Hope all goes well keep us posted on developments and hope the weight just falls off afterwards!

well my starting weight is 13stone 3, im in size 16/18 clothes and i want to be a size 12/14 (more realistically a 14) i was a size 8 before having the kids!

will chart my weight loss!

no quootie no!!!

glad to see i'm not the only one to have fallen off the wagon already!! an old lady gave twins a quid and told me to get them some sweets... completely forgot i was trying to diet and treated myself as well! oops! nevermind, will carry on regardless

the ocassional blip is expected

Sophieandbelly, I was much like you before having ds, really wanted to lose the weight quickly. When it came to it I really wasn't ready to diet. I am now and he's 5 months. Feel free to join in, I hope we continue to support each other for a long time. I think I'll be taking a LONG time to lose my weight. Better that way though as it's more likely to stay off.

I really need to change the way I view food I think. Today I went to chemist(dd has a cold and cough) and my immediate thought was, right i'll go to the chemist and then get some chocolate. I didn't realise how many times I do that. So one of my aims is to stop buying stuff when I'm at the shops. That should help. Plus i'll save money that we don't actually have.

i just had hot choc..... although admittedly better for my choc craving than 4 choc bars (which is what id normally eat

mmm, that's one thing i'm a bit worried about. money! things are a bit tighter than usual this month and not really in the position to stock up on things i should be eating! think my problem is snacking in beteen though so if i stop that and do the best i can with what we've got in the house (which is plenty!) i might be able to shift a bit

OK, I am not doing that but I did eat half a pack of bourbons. Now, if I have eaten about 800 kcals worth of biccies (which I just worked out [pig]) if I don't have dinner, of say 800 kcals how can I still get fat? Today in total I have eaten about... 1300 and doubt I'll have anything else - is it what I am eating? (Biccies is a rarity in this house, but I still only eat about 1000-1300 kcals a day but mostly carbs)

what about eating polos when a snack attack hits? that way we feel like we are eating but without the fat or calories and after the polo if we eat it'll taste pants? good idea or not?

was hoping to log on tonight for some moral support about not falling off the wagon and I see some already have! Never mind! Dh has gone out and there is a v large bar of chocolate in the cupboard calling to me but I am determined not to give in. HELP some one please.

well bad day today...think i might put this off until my dads out of hospital.

sorry guys will be back soon with more determination and more time to eat properly!

sorry to hear that sleepless. Hope all will be well soon and you can get back on track I'm sure we'll still be here waiting for you!

sleepless, it's hard to think about dieting with other things going on. Follow the thread if you can, and then hopefully join back in when you are ready.

Sunshine, did you eat it?!

My willpower has so far remained in tact. I am feeling a little peckish but I don't NEED to eat so will try a glass of water it'll all be worth it when i can look in a mirror and actually think I look ok

morning all. teething dd so im up t crack of dawn.

no dinner last night again dd and dh came home exhausted so we both fell asleep on sofa!

just having my morning mocha and shopping after the school run hope i can resist all the tempation.

soory about your dad s11 hope his better soon x

Hey, hey, hey ladies come on now it doesn't matter if we fall off the wagon ocassionally as long as we pick our selves up dust down and jump strieght on!

It looks as if Jack may be going in to hospital today so i will be on my toast diet!

I had a humungous green salad last night for tea, admittedly it did have a tiny bit of stilton in but the greenness certainly out did that!

Keep strong ladies

P.S - if your choccy cravings get to strong, try and get your hands on some marsbar shake its low fat and delicious!

Morning all! sleepless, I definitely agree with others... doesn't sound like the right time for you, but when it is you know where to find us..
I had chicken stir fry for dinner last night (think that's ok??!!)
and a bowl of cereal this morning so I think i'm back on track... however dreaded af arrived this morning so gonna need some major will power!
How are you all doing so far?
