You've just had a baby! The weight will drop off, I was ginormous after both of mine, a woman mountain, lost about 1 1/2stone during first 6mths breastfeeding, then 2 1/2 stone in the next 6mths.
Just be sensible and listen to your body, don' go mad with those DVD's.

I didn't think BMI was meant to be used by women who had recently given birth!?

Your DH is right!

You might be better off taking it easy for a few weeks and going for a walk rather than exercise videos, at least until you have had you check up.

3 stone by June?
5 months, yep you could do that.
Get juicing and doing some light exercise (build up when you feel stronger), you'll be fine.
The irony is am sitting her posting this with an ever expanding ass, but I am doing my DVD's and watching my diet, so it'll be sorted.

Disenchanted3 · 28/01/2009 11:31

my 6 week check is next week so may holf off on the exercise till then, maybe.

A aiming for June as we will be throwing a birthday party for DS2 and want to look killer, lol
