Support Thread for all us New Mummies who would like to loses those extra lbs gained while 'eating for 2'

[JODIEhadababy]

Well, as title says really.

I am the pround mummy to 2 boys, DS1 2 DS2 10 weeks, and have 2 stone to lose by christmas. I think with your help and support I have more of a chance of doing it.

Anyone care to join me?

I'll even start a 'list' for us to cut and paste our achievements.

JODIE - I usually buy a lot in July in the sales - saves you money in the long run - so expensive at Xmas! Also buying bday pressies for Amber - she is 2 on the 4th Oct.
So enjoyed my belldancing class - was great to be back shimmying! If only I could shake the fat off

How are the rest of you getting on? Not a lot of checking in the past couple of days.

Been OK today.. 19 points from a possible 24, so I might have a glass of wine now

I do ache today from the work outs yesterday, but thats good though, isn't it?

Weigh-in today, have lost 3.5lb this week . Had a night off tonight - fish and chips then several bourbon biscuits! I have walked to school and back twice, and also to Slimming World and back, must be at least 4 miles in total (and I was pushing a double buggy up a very steep hill each time), so I think I deserve a treat

Am of your tap-dancing classes WW, would love to do a dance class myself but can't see it happening any time soon, as Bryony still needs feeding till about 8.30 each night, and I don't have any motivation to go out at that time of night!

snoopster checking in to say she is going on her hols tomorrow today (oh, my, it is past 12) so she will be scoffing eating all the fatty healthy options on the menu

i do intend to sail/windsurf/ski myself skinny

the thing i am worried about is using my syns in beer daily eating healthy,

will catch up hopefully wifi avalible soon

Snoopdog So of your holiday.

Ponto Well done you! 3.5oz, thats amazing, see it can be done! You deserved your fatty treats

Snoopdog, have a good holiday.

Jodie, that's 3.5lbs I've lost, not ozs! Wouldn't be worth celebrating otherwise!

I have been good today, avoided eating any cake at a friend's house this morning, though I felt very guilty as she'd made a carrot loaf and it looked lovely - she was the one who recommended Slimming World to me though so she did understand.

Today I've had:

Breakfast: porridge and banana, small glass orange juice

Snack: apple

Lunch: 1 slice of cheese, pasta salad made with tomatoes, cucumber, celery, sweetcorn and peas, bit of low fat dressing, natural yogurt with sweetener

Snack: grapes, 2 rice cakes with salsa dip, 1 orange

Dinner: pasta with tomato and ham sauce natural yogurt with sugar, chocolate crispy bar.

Dh is suggesting a drink to celebrate the weekend so it could still all go horribly wrong!

What is everyone else eating?

ponto!!!!

How's everyone doing?

Been good so far this week (even though I went out last night, I didn't 'over indulge' and today DH and I took the boys for a walk (about 3 miles) then I've done an exercise video this evening....

on hols in hotel reception,

forgive me ladies for i have syned,

i have eaten the best food (amazing steak last night and tiger prawns) and i have drunk far too much already,

8 more days to go

Hi guys, can I join too

I have 3 DD's, 4yrs, 22 months and 5 weeks and defo have some unwanted weight to lose. I have lost nearly 2 stone since DD3's birth but at 12st 8lb I still have another 1st 8lb I want to lose initially, would like to lose another 7lb on top of this.

I am doing WW and am this week starting the Davina DVD ..... I loathe excercise

Hi All,

Been pretty bad this weekend - got my AF back again despite it just finishing last Saturday!! So am bloated and wanting sugary things Had to have an Empire biscuit today sent my Dh out on an emergency Empire biscuit run! Am now having a glass of white and have scoffed about 12 of DDs choccy raisins (yum) about to have steak for tea. On the plus side though I have been out in the garden digging, weeding, transplanting and generally sweating and have increased my muscle mass this week. Muscle weighs mpore but burns more calories.

Am also starting tap dancing classes tomorrow night so that should help too.

Just enjoy your hols SNOOP but try top swim/walk etc to burn off the extra cals.

Positive slimming vibes to everyone

Hi FOGHORNLEGHORN I checked out your August thread to see who form the July thread had had their bubbas - congrats! Can you tell us what happened to PAULAPLUMPBOTTOM though?

Hi Guys,

foghornleghorn I remember you from the early days of the July Thread. Hope you are well. Congrats on your baby!

Snoopdog where have you gone? LOL at you checkoing out MN while you are away, it's the sort of thing I do and my DH takes the piss out of my 'habit' Thinks I should join MN anonomous

WW On Weightwatchers gardening gains you as many extra points as doing aerobic exercise And I know what you mean about sugar cravings when you are on, it's akin to being pregnant isn't it!

I've been good all weekend, been fairly active, today we took the boys to Cannock Chase (a beautiful expanse of forest near us) so another 60 mins walking, and then playing footie with DS1 while having a picnic, then DH took DS1 off on the bike for 1 hour and DS2 was asleep so I read my book in the sunshine, was bliss.. Going to try doing it again next week. Just off to work out points.... (did eat 2 mini sausage rolls and a mini muffin )

Oh, I am really fed up with myself - have had a very bad day at mil's house, have eaten roast dinner, ice cream, Belgian chocolates, sandwiches with loads of butter, 2 slices of coffee and walnut cake and then when we got home and dh went out for some milk, he bought me a Dairy Milk, which I have just eaten, rather than giving it back to him. Now I feel that even if I am good the rest of the week, I won't actually lose anything, just avoid gaining. And it's only my second week. I just find it impossible to refuse food when someone else makes it for me. If only willpower could be bought!

Ponto, Don't give up, we all have a bad day now and again, just tell your Dh to bring you back an Apple or something next time he goes to the shop! (my DH just came in with Chocolate cake, and I ate it! [wink})

Just start again tomorrow and do some extra walking or something!

Boo! Have not lost a thing this past week Am still bleeding too I ended up drinking 3/4 bottle of white wine last night . Still did a little exercise at baby/mummy group this aft - was yoga for mummies/babies and have tap dancing class tonight.

PONTO - do not despair at least if you are good then you will not put on which is better than putting on (that is what I am telling myself this week anyway )

Hi, PLease may I join?

I have DS (18 weeks) and need to lose a stone for Christmas.

Hope that's OK.

Hi NSSA, welcome aboard!

I;ve had such a bad day today, I've tried so hard to be good, and had good breakfast, lunch and tea, and even been to Aqua, but my appitite has been huge and I've snacked and picked and grazed all day Maybe it's the return of my monthlies????

Hi Notsoserious, a stone by Christmas sounds very reasonable, go for it!

Jodie, sorry you had a bad day, but glad to see I'm not the only one who gets the evening munchies, I really think that is the worst time . I am making a big effort to snack on fruit and rice cakes though, so I keep telling myself that it must be better than snacking on toast with butter and marmalade, which is what I was doing until 2 weeks ago - no wonder I was getting gradually fatter!

Once again my good start yesterday was scuppered by being given food - my neighbour came round with a big bowl of Iraqi sweets, which were tiny pastries stuffed with chocolate, figs and coconut. By the time I'd sampled some of each type, I thought I may as well finish up the 2 chocolates left from the box my mil gave me on Sunday! Now the rest of the pastries are in a box in the cupboard, calling to me, and I know the only way to avoid eating them is to throw them away, but I can't bring myself to do it as my neighbour must have spent ages making them. If only dh would eat stuff like that up, but he won't, which is presumably how he weighs 3.5 stone less than me!

Right, lost 1/2 lb ths week. Although headingin the right direction, it's heaps off the 2lb a week goal I had set in order to lose 2 stone by Christmas .

Oh well, this weeks it all starts again. Am going on holiday in 2 weeks time so am resigned to the fact I'll just have to look like a heffer in shorts
