well done everyone on admitting - there is no denying now is there!! I am also keeping a diary as for the past 5 years have used the excise of being PG for my weight gain - have 3 DC's and definately no more so this time I am determined not to fall at the first hurdle (usually once I lose a stone).

Welcome pinkjenny

Thanks Dozy

I am so sick of being paranoid and feeling like everyone is looking at me and judging me all the time.

And also to have a wardrobe FULL of clothes that don't fit me.

JODIEhadtoomanymincepies · 08/01/2009 13:57

I feel crappy too. I was 11st3 when I got pregnant with DS1, then lost it all and an extra stone, so 13 months later I was 10st5 when I got pregnant with DS2.... No excuse now, but I am finding it hard this time to lose it.. (DS2 6 months)

LadyBuzz · 08/01/2009 14:00

welcome ladybuzz can't believe oyu are thining aboout baby number 3 already

I reckon by regularily posting on here, we will HAVE to stay on our diets, otherwise we can just hound each other all around mumsnet

I was tiny before I had kids - less than 10 stone at 5ft 6in - I really have put on 5 stone in 5 years.

However, no more kids, no more excuses, this is the year of me, me, me

I think the surprising thing (what shocked me) is he amount of carbs and fat I have been eating but thats what its for to teach you to cut down but seeing it like that is a shock!

nannyogg how did you get on with this last year and why did you stop?

nannyogg · 08/01/2009 20:16

Hi Dozy,

Not nosy at all! I lost 2 and half stone last year using food focus and other sites but just got sick of all the inputting tbh.

I've learnt loads about food so tried to 'go it alone' as it were. Unfortunately without the structure of calorie counting I didn't do so well and the weight has crept back up (half a stone back on) and I still need to lose about three.

So - time to try again! I do find the inputting a real chore though, but it works for me so I'll stick with it. This thread will help loads. I reckon I'm going to need lots of arsekicking encouragement.

I'm a night time nibbler as well - and always find it loads easier to raid the biscuit tin than peel an orange
