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.

Jodiehadababy current weight 12st0.5ozs Target weight 10st

Phew! Glad you've taken the pressure off yourselves.

Best of luck!! xxx

I have been good today - took littly for a walk and did some weights, stretches, back and ab exercises. [preen] Boy i could sure go a drink tomight though

Weigh-in today, further 2 lbs off but can't explain it as I have been cheating all week! Think it must be the breastfeeding though as I am starving all the time and dd3 is quite big now so I must be producing loads of milk to keep her going.

I must do more exercise - I push the double buggy up a big hill to school several times a week, but I feel I need to do something more structured too. A buggyfit class has just started locally so I may try that next week - not very appealing when the weather's so cold though. Have decided not to join David Lloyd, it would cost £83 a month for me and the 2 older girls to join, and for that money I'd want to be going about 5 times a week, which is never going to happen! Might try using the local leisure centre instead.

Well done Ponto! Thats amazing!

I went to the gym last night and was walking fast (not quite running) for 30 mins,, uphill was Hard!! Today I've been for a walk with both boys in buggy, boy was it heavy! DS1 doesn't very often go in the buggy now, but I was determined to walk faster than the pace DS1 usually dictates!

But this afternoon, DS1 in foul mood, so distract him from the one long tantrum he's been having since 7am we've just made some white chocolate cookies, so I'll need to keep away from them! (well maybe try one, just to see!)

Snoop, where are you?

Oh yes, meant to add - Ponto I just go to local leisure centre and it's £35.00 per month, I go when DH get home from work, they do have an ofsted creche there though of I want to use it. My local plush gym was £65 for me and the boys

Well just 0.5lb this week, better than nothing, but I've been on my AF so BIG appitite and abit of water retantion and NO motovation for the gym! Went t a class yesterday and will go tomorrow too. Want to start training for a 5k fun run in the summer, haven't done it for 3 years as either pregnant or new baby..... So gotta get back on that treadmill....

Well done everyone else for your success this week and rumpel you are overtaking me now, can't let that happen!!!!

Don't worry JODIE - AF for me this week and been pigging out so far and it isn't even here yet!!! Argggggg!!!!

well,

it adds on and falls off me,

very disheartening

1 lb on this week,

4 lb off last week,

i dont try any harder one week to the next,

i eat well, SW 90% of the time,

i drink wine and scoff home made steak pie at the week end

i have my wii fit now and it tells me i am fit

anyone else craving comfort food during the cold weather spell?

Poor SNEAKY - it's so bloody hard isn't it? Grrrr I have been a total fat pig this week but thankfully haven't put any on just stayed the same.

Well did okay last week, but this week has been a nightmare, dreading weigh in and I was hoping to get to my first stone but no chance Now xmas do's are happening its just so hard oh well we shall see. Although got back into my size 14 jeans yesterday so I am happy about that just need to keep going and try to get into my size 12's

[fat]

Hi all,

snoop

I've been away this weekend to the Peak District, and although done loads of hill walking with DS2 strapped to me, still managed to put on 2lbs (all that mulled wine) I now have the flu and my appitite (sp?) has disappeared, so hopefully this week will be a good week

I have however lost 10 inches!!! I measured my self on 9th November and again today, and it's vanished! Esp. proud of the 1.5 inches on each thigh!!!!

hi there!
can i join? my baby is 4 weeks and i had an emcs (so no exercise for me for a lil while)

I have lost 20 of the 40lbs i put on during my pg....
i'm breastfeeding but as i cant move too much all i do is pig out during the day and then have a copious diner with dp...

how often do you updayte?

current weight: 11st3lb
target weight: 9st3lbs

i'll start tomorrow

Hi TOSTAKY - welcome - just a few of us left now. Well done on the 20lb loss. it's a killer this time of year trying to lose weight

Nothing for me this week - TBH am ok about it as I devoured a giant toblerone last week Boy did it taste good - haven't had 1 for ages. One year I ate over 6 foot of giant toblerone!!!! Had an empire biccie today too - you know how I love them

Will do some exercising tomorrow though and walk the next few days too.

How are you guys all doing? Think we need to try damage limitataion over Xmas and be really motivated in January. We must all be careful though to not put much on over Xmas. How about we give ourselves a group targert of no more than a 2lb gain? If anyone puts on more than that between 24 Dec and 3rd January then they have to have no alcohol, no sweet treats or crisps for a fortnight - how does that sound?

i was too ill to go to group thiss week but i am pleased to say...

my size 12 pre preggers jeans had their first outing this afternoon

so bugger what i weigh, i feel slimmer this week,

question, are any of you still bf?

and if you are, are you a 34dd or a 36c?

TOSTAKY Hello and welcome.. Well done on your weight loss, and be careful about losing too much too soon from now on, esp recovering from an op and having a newborn around (Are you BF?)

Snoop I feel skinnier now, but I actualy weigh heavier, weird..

Hi Rumpel Good idea about a forfeit (sp?) But I will bow out, am going to Austria skiing on the 27th for a week and They do the best Gluwein and stodgy apres Ski food...

DH bought us a Wii for an early christmas pressie and we have Wii fit! Been doing that every day, it's ace. Not very energetic, but it's good fun!

AGREE JODIE, WII FIT IS FUN

at caps,

are you bottle feeding?

i have some avent teats here, new? any good?

Hey Snoop What size teats? I have new 3's but Sam's not happy with them, my number 2's (sorry giggling at the phrase number 2. such a child!) are knackered so need some new ones...

i have avent teats, lots of, new in pack,

happy for you to have them,

3 packs of 2s (3 month+)

and one pack of 3s (6 month+)

any good?

Hi all, still here, weight loss has stalled, have been 12st8lbs for last 2 weeks. Have to admit I'm not really trying at the moment - I find the run-up to Christmas quite stressful so I am trying to be kind to myself and not feel deprived. Also I am still breastfeeding and am ravenous all the time! Dd3 is 21 weeks now, so I will start to wean her in a month, but she is needing a lot of milk at the moment I guess, which must be why I have been eating rubbish but not putting the weight on.

Snoop, I am not a 34D or 36C - even when pregnant/bfeeding I'm lucky to get past a B cup!

Rumpel, I can't do total deprivation under any circumstances, so if I do gain over 2lbs I'll just have to lie about it!

Welcome tostaky, I think you're very brave joining a weight-loss thread just before Christmas! With a new baby and having had a c-section I think you need to be kind to yourself. Are you bfeeding?

Don't think I will bother with weigh-in tomorrow, my scales at home are still saying the same, so I can do without the disappointment. Hope everyone else is doing better than me!

Oh Snoop Would Love the number 2's. WIll obviously pay at least the postage. You let me know what to do?????

Hi Ponto god to hear from you. I;ve resigned myself to christmas now, will start back at gym and things when I get back off my holiday. I've (and the boys) been ill with this flu/chesty/sickness thing and it's really wiped me out. Been poorly for a week now and I;m getting hacked off with it!
