Gave birth to dd2 4.5 months ago and since then I have lost 2st2lbs of the 3st I put on in pg. I would like to be slimmer than I was when I conceived though, so ideally have about 22lbs left to go.
It would really help me to have a pal or two to chivvy me along.
Any takers?

Morning everyone.

Thought I'd start the ball rolling on the wednesday weigh in. I've stayed the same at 9.13. Sort of fed up as was doing really well until the weekend but that's done now. Time to pull my socks up now otherwise I'll never get into that bikini in August!

Furball · 22/06/2005 11:44

Put on abit since yesterday so I've only lost 12 lbs this week

I have been very good food wise though, but obviously not that good. Did try to get to Boots this morning but saw a traffice warden going my way so I decided not to risk it.

ScrewballMuppet · 22/06/2005 13:22

Thankyou! I had hired a bouncy castle for weekend to celebrate finishing college and on the last nioght I had college friends ariound. For some reason we were playing dodgeball on the bouncy castle with my beloved space hopper(the one I got to help me loose weight i.e chase kids round with it) I tried to dodge it but fell over it.
I heard something click got off rested it for few mins then got back on stupidly despite it really hurting. Next morning I tried to get out of bed and couldn't put any pressure on foot it had really swollen.
Talked them out of putting me in a cast so have a moon boot thing and am still able to drive, although painful so just short journeys.

Need to keep it on for a few weeks or so, its only a hairline fracture but I've pulled the ligaments or tendons in th e middle of my foot.

Felat very silly especially telling the a&e staff and then the doctor yesterday they all had a good laugh.

Furball Wow congratulations!!! can I weigh in on your scales too?

potty1 · 22/06/2005 13:24

Sounds painful muppet but at least you had fun doing it!!

Furball - I want your scales!

charliecat · 22/06/2005 17:25

Ouch SM! I am the same, 12.5...so thinking yourself thin doesnt work then?

chicagomum · 22/06/2005 20:42

just checked the computer and realised its wednesday, so quickly weighed myself now , unfortunately no loss but we did go away for a long weekend so at least nothing added, should loos some tonight though as ds is teething again and dd has just had 5 vaccinations today so no sleep for me (that seems to be when i loss weight for some reason!!)

Surfermum · 22/06/2005 20:50

Just realised it's weigh in day. Will report back later. It's probably not good news this week.

Donna, yes I do surf badly. Well, I did before dd! I've got a longboard called Bill. I last surfed nearly a year ago in Cornwall. I went in 2 days in a row then couldn't move on the 3rd, I'd pulled all sorts of muscles I'd forgotten I had! It was fab though, we don't get surf like that down here on the South coast. I've been up to my boobs in the sea though the last two days. Who knows maybe I'll even take my feet off the bottom soon. Where do you surf?

Surfermum · 22/06/2005 20:51

Furball is that a typo? 12lbs? If not what's you're secret? I'd have to chop off my boobs to lose that much.

dinny · 22/06/2005 21:06

haven't dared weigh myself yet, am feeling massively huge as boobs really engorged (ds decided to suddenly cut down night feeds). Crap excuse, I know....

donnacb · 22/06/2005 23:17

hi surfer mum generally surf down in cornwall at godrevy. going this weekend but for a memorial so will have to see if i get time. mm sort of dreading it. have an indo board which ive been on balance isnt good. keep falling off. oh and my friend tried had one go, fell off, snapped the top bone of her arm in half. How guilty do I feel. The thought of doing that with 8 month old is not fun. We also live just outside london which doesnt help. had a year out and surfed round the world before ds. I was fit and thin then. Any way waffling. Good luck this week let yyou know what the surf is like

Furball · 23/06/2005 08:00

Surfermum - no it's not a typo!!

As I said a few more posts down, my scales are affected by the heat - Fancy popping round for an extra soupa doupa weigh in on my magic scales? They really are great.
