'Night!

Good morning, just catching up on this thread since Friday.

Loobz - snap, I'm 5'3 as well and 12 stone (well actually 12 stone 2lb this week as I've put ON weight ). My pre-baby weight was 10 stone 7lb, and I wasn't too happy with that. If I can get back to that then at least I'll be back into my clothes (have currently had to buy new clothes just to get out of my maternity wear).

Whenever I look at weight charts, I seem to have a long way to go. I think that according to the Atkins book the ideal weight at 5'3 is something like 9 stone, which I could never achieve!

Anyway the main thing is to start isn't it. Have started an exercise regime this week and currently waiting for dh to get out of bed so I can go to the gym this morning, although at this rate it will be lunchtime before he does (he fed db at middnight last night after I went to bed at 10.30 pm, so I need to give him a lie-in and some payback for looking after the kids while I go to the gym).

I'm sure this thread is going to really help with motivation.

No, don't worry, just wondered if you still had the box to hand, that's all.

Hi Distracted, glad to meet another small person - was begining to think I was the only one in the world. All off my kids are bigger than me now! Pity I'm not so small in the other direction though! I have to laugh at some of these ideal weight charts - According to the one Roisin posted I should be between 8st 1lb and 10st 1lb. 8st 1lb???!!! I wish Think if I get to 10 st I'll be laughing!!!

The Skinny Cow lollies are gorgeous. My personal fav is the Cookies & Cream, of course that would be the one with the most syns!

Please miss, can i join in?

I feel very miserable cos at 5ft2in i am almost 16 stone. Over the years i have steadly gained weight and seem to have no will power at all to stick to a diet. Things are just getting worse, I started uni in september last year and seem to spend an endless amount of time on the computer, looking after 3 kids etc, but dont feel at all motivated to do exercise, and now i'm starting to be a bit reclusive as well, i hate going out. And the worse bit, is people's expectations i am a nurse doing a public health degree, and feel very concious when i,m asked to do a presentation on good health, exercise or healthy eating etc, i just imagine people sitting there thinking 'its a shame she doesnt take her own advice'IYKWIM.

And another thing- why do people think they have the right to comment on my weight???? And dont u just hate when people say 'oh- you look well'

Sorry to be so whinney!!

hi shevi welcome to the fun
i have tended to get reclusive when my weight goes up, but found that if i forced myself to do things i would do if thinner that paradoxically helped me to get thinner iyswim.. it helped me anyway.. and chipping away at learned behaviours also helped me too i.e. eating when unhappy and long term re ed of eating habits and still going...
i have had a better day doing the gi diet sort of and been reading the times and planning to cook a crumble next weekend

Hi Yorkiegirl. Did you get my e mail - I sent it yesterday.
Hi Shevi! I am also 5ft 2in and weigh just over 15 stone. I am hoping that I will get some support from this thread that might keep me going where I have failed miserably in the past. Also am a nurse too and know what you mean about being self concious preaching about diet, exercise etc.

is everyone putting thir little ones to bed??

great minds eh?

ive had a bit of a iffy day not terrible but had nestle cluster for brekkie(are they full of fat?, a chicken sandwhich, bag of crisps and rocky biscuit for lunch, tiny box of raisins as a snack and lasagne and salad for tea.
am always worse when dp off and Af is around too!
can plan better through the week when he's at work!!
ill be weighing myself in morn, but not hopeful as my week has just been ok and am bloated too...hasnt put me off tho...according to that post earlier i have to lose.........5 and a half stone shame on me

what a little sweety!, you can be totally cleansed of any sin for eating that as you didnt want to hurt her feelings did you!!!
im hoping to start doing my excersize vid this week each day, just the ten mins one to start with when dd go's to bed, im so lazy though and all this recent extra weight gain is leaving me breathless when i walk anywhere(which isnt often)

right...am at playgroup with dd at 2pm, hopefully she will sleep on way there and will have had her dinner about 11.30-12.....what can i have around same time to make sure i dont sneak in to supermarket on way past for nasty , evil food???
