Hiya, im new on mumsnet and wondering if i could join. My baby 3 months old and im basically still eating as if im 9 months preg!!!!!!!

Much to my horror ive got 6 bloody stone to lose........

Have joined ww and it my first official day on diet today, wish me luck girls....

Hi FB, welcome..and good luck with WW!

Ria, that was what i had crving for last week!..i had 2..although on dff days..so i know if i knock that on head i CAN do better this week..think i will put in gammon to roast for tea tonight?..with vegies and new pots!

Oh and Fb, dont worry about how much you have to loose, most of us have lots to lose also i had almost 6 as well, but even that is at top end of what 'they' say is my healthy weight!

i want to get to 12 1/2 stone and then re assess!

Thnaks so much, just need to find a bit of wilpower from somewhere, have had a lovely time eating whatever i want for last year but when i ate 10 packets of french fries yest thought o dear, time to do something!

Im just off now to supermarket,get organized.

flourybaps what a fab name, ive got them floury baps ha - ten packs of french fries, is that the mcain frozen ones you microwave? u need to eat that many to bge satisfied i reckon - now its time to be good!

Hi everyone

Been a bit manic here the last few days so haven't really had time to post! ()

Wasted 3 hours up the hospital yesterday waiting to get DD's bloods taken but they sent me home coz i'd be waiting around for aaages. Went back today by appointment ('ark at me sounding all royal!) and i was in and out in 20 minutes would you believe! DD hardly made a peep too, bless her and that's with them putting a needle into BOTH hands because they couldn't get blood from the first! So proud of her - she's 'ard as nails!

Welcome FlouryBaps! If it's any consolation, i've got about 6 stone to lose too, so you're deffo not alone!

Well my core plan lasted until breakfast time lol. I think it entails alot of planning to successfully do the Core. i just cant seem to stay within my 26 points! All i had today was some toast for breakie and a jacket spud and turkey for dinner with a couple of snacky things in between but i've gone up to bloody 32 points!! HOW?!!! Well ok, i know how, but it's just not fair!!

Doctor's appointment tomorrow for some reductil so hopefully that will help give me a kick up the backside.

Good luck at GPs RG. What (if you don't min me asking) are DDs bloods for?

Hi floury baps. I think I should be talking 6 stone really, but I don't talk, I eat. i HAVE CONCLUDED i AM ADDICTED TO OTHER PEOPLES SUCCESS STORIES[BLUSH] Good luck to you though, it's great to have new people joining all the time.

Arse to caps lock. Sorry, not shouting, just crap at typing.

DSS leaving on Thursday. So, couple of days with wine and yummy food (to recover and to reward me for being super step mum) and then back to it for me. Rosemary Conley GI I think - more bread. I was surprised to find those turkey rashers are edible.

My mum bought me some Slimthru as it was on offer in Kendal Boots for £3 for the big pack. I have taken 2 days worth, but I'll be back on that too next week.

Thanx Ria. DD's bloods were just for nut allergies because she had a slight reaction to peanut butter the other week. DP and I have no allergies in our families or anything so thought we'd better get her checked out just in case. An allergy has to start somewhere i suppose! Better safe than sorry!

Think you deserve some vino and chocs Ria. The way i'm feeling at the moment i think i would love to join you!! Alas, no cash tho so it'll have to be water and fresh air hehehe.

Can I join? I have always been big, but my weight has gotten out of control since dd was born 9 months ago. I'm 16st5lbs and would really like to shift around 5 stone. I need help though because my will power is virtually non-existant.

Hi SummerC - welcome! I also have a 9 month old DD and Jaz has a 9 month old DS! Guess you can tell what we were up to in February last year then!

hi summerC, we're a good bunch - no judging when I slip up. I like that

It's good to be back RG, even if I am still fat (and I've developed a taste for ham,cheese and tomato toasties. I don't even like cheese._

Can you tell I'm really bored tonight?

so you saying you're only talking to us because you're BORED??! Charming!! Hmmph!!

hiya, thanks for your welcomes. ps jaz 236 it was 10 packets of the crisps, french fries!! anyway there are none left in cupboard and im gonna be sooooo good today...... although im off to ikea, gotta resist those meatballs!

nope, I was talking toyou cos I like you. I was just bored on the side

morning all!..looks like i will be good food wise today as i woke up feeling really sick..think its cos dd has first swimming lesson with school this afty and she doesnt go anywere other than school without me so im ever so slightly panicking!..forced some cerel down as i know ill feel worse if i dont eat and remembered to take my tab this morn!

Good luck at docs today rg..bet theyve had an influx of requests for reductil over last few months.x

sorry if im being bit lazy not reading back, whats this reductil and more importantly does it work........

slimming tabs from gp, only given in certain circs..have to haev health check etc, can only be taken for 1 year, they make you feel full quicker thus eating less food

Jaz236 - I was away 7 days and went swimming 6 mornings.

Hi new peeps :D I have 8-9 stone to lose I have small goals so I don't get disheartened! I also love exercising so just make sure I do that so I can still eat a bit more.

Didn't go to the docs in the end. DD woke me up at 4am and took until about 5am before she dropped back off to sleep again. By this time i'd decided to let her stay in our bed, which meant that i didn't sleep well because of being aware of her in the bed and worrying she would wake up and crawl off the bed or something lol. I've got another appointment for Friday morning, but to be honest, i'm still debating whether to go for it or not. I'm worried about the side effects. guess it's something i should talk about with the GP.

DD is driving me nuts today lol. Not only did she wake me up in the middle of the night, but she only had a 30 minute nap this morning too (normally she has an hour and a half), which was barely enough time for me to jump in the shower. Now she's upstairs moaning from her cot because i put her to bed after she'd fallen asleep on me!!

so much for trying to get stuff done while she sleeps! I'm just not ready for her to be awake yet! Does that sound mean?!!

Have a nice day everyone.

aw, bet you shell sleep tonight!..thought you worked wednesdays though?

i have blinking 3 stone to loose and its doing my head in, went asda tday and spent 67.00 and u tell me what did we buy i havent a bloody clue! im ful of cold at the mo, but going to start to walk with baby soon as im better !

Pink - yes i do normally but i have this week and next week off work because i need to use up alot of holiday.

Jaz - wish i only had 3 stone to lose!!

Got an appointment with the doc on Friday now. I phoned up the surgery and apologised for missing my appointment but explained it was due to DD teething and they seemed fine about it and gave me another appointment really quickly!

If anything, i'll just get some advice from the GP and see what he says. Still not 100% sure about taking teh tablets.

Pink - can you give us a blow by blow account of how they made you feel and how you managed to look after kids too?

what how the tabs made me feel??

Still here all, sorry RL really taking over and very bad PMT and tiredness, which doesn't go well with 13 week baby, 2 year old and guests.

Pink - how did your DD's swimming go?
