shedding baby weight....anyone else want to join?

[iamamummy]

so ds is 5 months and the endless days of sitting around cuddling him and staring in amazement have taken its toll, the pounds are piling on!!!

my aim is to lose 2 stone. we are also ttc no.2 so want to do it the healthy eating way.

does anyone care to join me and offer eachother support and encouragement?

i start tomorrow!!

Hi there

yes jodie night times are def the hardest! My day usually starts off quite well then deteriorates into almost non-stop grazing/snacking in the evening. However... since monday have really made an effort to stop the continuous snacking in the eve as i was really not feeling good about myself.

another good day and no real snacking to speak of this eve.

hi Abubu Welcome! i think having twins 15 months weight still baby weight. I have dd 20 mnths. i define mine as baby weight since i put it on while pregnant and then didn't get rid of it. anyway... however it arrived i am sure we'll all get rid of it!

iamamummy how are you? Just in case I don't get time to post tomorrow I am off with dd for a few days and so wont be around till the weekend at the earliest. I'm gonna try and weigh on mon (before i go)as it's been first successful week in ages. I hope the bday evening goes well. I bet you'll look great xxx

jodie how do you find the davina dvd? is it toning/aerobic?

Hi Abubu, welcome!

Jodie: which Davina one have you got, I have her first two but they have quite a thick layer of dust on them!

Actually managed to do some yoga last night, first time in about 2 months, and no chocolate yesterday!

Min912 here... Abubu I think people who haven't had babies should be banned from making any kind of comments on the figures of those who have (even if they are trying to be helpful!) - and especially women who have had babies but say 'Oh, the weight just fell off when I was breastfeeding, I didn't have to do anything!'

Not a bad week, and I'm off to a Buggyfit class tomorrow, am quite excited actually...

Hi All,

The Davina DVD I've got is the Pre-Post Natal one. It's quite good really, nice and gentle to get me back into a routine, as I'll still have the hormone Relaxin in my body I can't risk over doing it too much (DS2 only 10 weeks) So I prob wouldn't recommend it to you guys as I got my 'worth' from it when I was up the duff I used it about 2-3 times a week then.

I;ve had quite a bad weekend, it's DS1's 2nd birthday tomorrow so we went out with friends for a pub lunch yesterday and I toyed with the idea of having a Jacket Potato, but thought stuff it and had a steak baguette and chips instead we then went round Carsington Waters (a HUGE resevoir, so beautiful) and played Footie with DS1, so did do some exercise... Then went out last night and although I only had Tuna Fishcakes for tea, I had 4 glasses of wine! Then today been for sunday lunch at MIL and had loads of birthday cake (well I paid for it, it would have been rude not too! )

Will try and weigh tomorrow, but off to Thomasland for DS1's big day

Hi all

Just a quick check in as I am off today (on holiday with dd) and have to finish off packing today before i go. Just weighed in this am and 9.4! so 3 lbs loss. So quite pleased just have to keep it off now and keep going in the right direction.

I tend to weigh myself on a wednesday as that's the day I gave birth... 13.9 today, so another pound lost!
didn't make it to the exercise class as I felt really giddy in the morning, but am definitely definitely going next week!

Hi, another lb for me this week, now 11st 13.75.... Now hit the 11 stone mark yipee.

Was a shock as this week been very naughty! Been DS1's birthday, so plenty of birthday cake, ice cream chocolate etc in the house and I am sooo weak willed it's untrue. All gone now though, and back to the gym next week too....

hi ladies

i have had a disastrous week this week with having 3 dinner parties and stacks of alcohol so not suprising i have gained

12.5 bad bad me!!!

i am on the jucing diet this week anyway - dont know if any of you have seen the threads?!

all good so far not hungry and eating plenty more than my 5 a day.

jodie thats great on the weightloss!!

Hi there

iamamummy you're not on your own as I have gained too! I am 9.6 now after gaining 2 of the 3lbs i lost last week. shame but i did enjoy myself on hols. Going to try and get back into a routine again this week. Although I think a few llbs sometimes is water... really!

I haven't heard of the jucing diet. Sounds like it's working for you at the mo if you're not feeling hungry. I'm a little worried that i'm back into the snacking thing a little. Thought I'd have a quick look to see what you guys were up to to try and give me a little motivation to get back into again.

how did you get on at you dh birthday party?

minniemummy8 & jodie* congrats on your weight loss. hopefully i'll join you next week!

twinkle - totally agree with you on the water front, the extra pounds must be the 2 litres of water a day i dont drink

well its day two of the juicing and still so far so good. i will confess though i had a sausage last night had to cook dp sausage and mash and just could not resist having one.

dps birthday was ok thanks, i gave him the choice of dresses that i wore and he chose the skimpiest tightest one possible - luckily my fat pants held it all together for me and i looked okish!!

where abouts did you go on hols? i sooo need a break right now but dp wont book up.

hi there

oh dear not having such a good week eating wise. Am failing miserably at no snacking in the evening. Day time has gone well but this eve just started snacking almost for the sake of it. I wasn't even hungry! Doesn't leave me feeling good though.My willpower seems to have temporarily (ihope) disappeared) How about you all?

iamamummy Glad you're party went well...how you getting on with the juicing?

went away to north devon it was lovely but probably fortunate that we had good weather.

would love to go abroad somewhere nice and warm for a couple of weeks though.

xx

just bumping our thread!!!

twinkle how are u getting on?

i caved in on the juicing but starting again today but with a completely different outlook and frame of mind -its like a switch has gone off and im positive about losing weight now not battling against it.

Hiya, am pleased because for the past two weeks I've lost 2lb per week, and it's making me feel a whole lot more positive. Still can't fit into most of my clothes though! Should make the 10% mark this Weds.

Started the Buggyfit classes which are really helping, I feel energised and actually keen to exercise afterwards. Although right now I am snacking on some chocolate chips because Poppy has been unsettled all bloomin day and I've had enough. Even more annoyingly, now that she is with her dad I can't hear a peep!

Hi guys,

I've not posted on here for ages. I'm a mum to 3 with the youngest being 9wks. I joined weight watchers today as I really need to shift my baby weight. With my other 2 kids I lost it quite quickly but am struggling a bit at the moment. I am bf so I get extra pts which is a good thing. Could really do with your support.

Really want to be slim for xmas.

Hi all,

Please can I join, I am currently 14st 4.5lbs at 5ft 9in and want to get to 12st (and maybe lower). My DS is going to be 5 weeks tomorrow and I'm finding myself getting increasingly down about my weight - I managed to get to 12st on slimming world last year then got pregnant so didn't get to enjoy new shape for long.

I really want to get down to a size 14 by chritmas and i'm going to be a bridesmaid next year and definately want to be a size 12. Thinking about joining slimming world again but want to be lighter first (that proberbly sounds ridiculous ).

hi to all

Hello all, can I come back please, not been on since the start of August, the thread seemed to die off so I went somewhere else, but now that one seems to have died a death Last time I was here my goal was to get back in my 10 stones for my holiday at the end of August, I had 4 pound to lose.... well, I am still not in my 10's but at my last weigh in (sat) I was 11 stone exactly, I am hoping to just dip into the 10's after this week, but I have a cold and haven't done much exercise so we shall see.

hi ladies!

welcome gracie and welcome back lisa!!!

this thread is very quiet lately too

i lost 6 pounds last week on the juicing diet which im attempting again this week.

i am exactly 12 stone now but i worked out 10 weeks til xmas and if i am for 3 pound per week that will take me down to 9 stone 12...

xx

iamamummy - wow thats fantastic 6lb well done you

Hi Lisa

Well last 2 days have done okay - no junk and a long walk with the dog yesterday. Aiming to start swimming asap but because of breastfeeding abit restricted as to when i can get out. Have started expressing recently so DP can watch him for an hour or so when the time comes.

Hope my motivation stays put really want to be in the 13 stones by Monday (not too much to ask I hope)

I have had a crap week, got a stinking cold so have been eating what I like and have done no exercise, so I won't be getting back in my 10 stones this week will start afresh tomorrow after weigh in
