August 09 New Mummies - working on those Jelly Bellies

[cairns]

Anyone want to join me.

I have 2 lovely (big) DS's but that has definitely taken its toll on my body. Not just the jelly belly but on my thighs, face etc as well.

I need to lose 2 stone to get to prepregnancy weight pre DS2 (and approx another stone to get to my weight pre DS1)... but one step at a time.

Weight loss seems to have faltered since birth and I am BFg so mammoth boobs and huge appetite aren't helping either. I am hating all of my maternity clothes with a passion and other non maternity clothes.. well lets not go there they look awful.

Would love to have support/focus to help lose that weight

walked walked.. must preview messages with my tired brain!!!

!!!!!! I'm back in my pre-pregnancy jeans!!!!!! [s hock]

well done KKQ - that is fab news

No such chance here yet... depends which pre-pregnancy jeans I go for (pre DS1 or DS2 ) . Although my hips etc still feel a lot wider and I know they took some time to narrow back again last time.

Mixed week here re food, good days and bad ones as we have had IL's staying (who brought us food - all unhealthy). so will be happy if I get away without gaining this week. Will re-focus again now for next week.

I'm still waiing till sunday for my official weigh in. I have to admit I have been really trying hard this week so I hope i have lost some, the jeans I got in were my 10 months after jeans, they fitted me 10 months after each baby, I've got another 2 dress sizes to go to get to my pre dd1 size.

I do feel a bit shocked that they fit me already,

weigh in day for me today and has predicted no loss... but no gain either after this bit of a disastrous week.

So definately refocused again now for this week.

Hi Cairns, By the sounds of it you have done fabulously for not gaining!!!

I haven't lost as much as I hoped this week , but i'm now 11 stone 5!!!! Which is 1 lb less than dp .

I'm aiming to lose 2 lb a week so fingers crossed I'll be 11 stone 3 next sunday.

Had my weigh in yesterday (couldn't on sunday as we were away) and have lost another 3lbs woohoo and have managed to (squeeze) into my 'fat' jeans that I wore after DS1 ... so even more focused now.

Had a good week so far, lots of walking and avoiding the naughty stuff.. although am finding evenings are the most difficult to master as I seem to have a sweet tooth after dinner, managing to sort it by low cal drinking chocolate.

Hi cairns - made it to 11 3 on sunday but I've been told to slow my weightloss

I've programmed into my day on the website i'm using a "supper" for after the kids are in bed, so I still get my end of day treat, I'm mostly having things like special k bliss bars or the asda ones - go ahead bake bars are really yummy too

Wow KKQ well done you, that is awesome going. Great idea re the bars, will get some of those, just need to hide them from DH.

It isn;t your DP by any chance you has told you to stop losing the weight , even if you go slowly though you have done great to get to where you are now.

Just need to stay motivated for now, went shopping today with DS's and treated myself to a cheap top, it is amazing how just making a bit of effort can make me feel a lot better about myself and therefore more determined to shift the flab

Lol! no I found some info on kelly mom on dieting & b/feeding and it says don't go below 1500 cals a day absolute minimum to protect supply don't im to lose more than (i think) 1.5 lbs a week eat 62 grams of protien per day and if you fat intake drops too much your body converts stored fat into milk which sounds great but apparantly this is bad because body fat can contain environmental toxins which then get passed into the baby.

feels a bit like a catch 22 situation iykim. am a bit annoyed tho coz I was enjoying losing weight at that rate and felt fine...

and I weighed 11 stone 2 this morning - can't get the weight loss right.

That is great info and sounds like it is right re body fat as they do hoard all those nasty toxins.

I have been watching my supply too, but all seems to be OK.

Think I am OK as that is kind of how my weight loss has been trickling along, plus I am defo eating 1500cals a day most days. I am eating just more healthily and less portion sizes so am aiming for the extra cals that BFg using to lose the weight.

hmm still no weight loss...

well done girls

Hiya mama2leah,

I am normally totally useless at losing weight, I can honestly say the only reason i'm losing weight is that i'm using an online site its this one:

www.weightlossresources.co.uk

But I can't do the link because it won't let me.

ahh thanx kitkat... i will check it out!
x

Weigh in day! Oh well, I'm 11stone 2lb so its still trickling off...

Hows everyone else doing ?

weigh in for me too ... just another 1lb here... but its trickling too

i lost a 1 lb..wooohooo now im starting to finally shift it.

Well done both of you!!! I don't know what my weight loss will be like this week, both the boys have been ill this week so my routine is way out...

arse!! lost my post... grrrr

anyhow still trickling slowly down here another 2lbs. Not been pn MN much as had lots of visitors again! which often hampers my efforts as I start to feel naughty.

Got a lovely compliment yesterday from someone which made me feel a million times better about myself. It is amazing that if someone says something nice how much an impact that can have (note to self.. must be nice more!!)

how are you all doing

Hiya, I weighed in on sunday at 10stone 10. yay woohooo (said in sadly flat voice with no enthusiasm)

My laptop broke, I've lost all my baby photos of isaac. estimate of 700 quid to get back. thought I would be able to retrieve them from my sd card, but there is everything but the 1st 3 months of his life.

its all gone......

on the 10st 10 KKQ good going, but at the photo loss, that is awful, is there anyone that you emailed the photos too, or anyone else who might have some... reminded me to back-up my PC, as I took a load of photos and videos and it must be horrid to lose them

Hi cairns, I have a friend who is looking at my laptop for me today so i'm keeping my fingers crossed, I also had a really lucky thing happen yesterday, I knew i had given my mil a disc with a few photos on - I thought it only had about 10 / 15 pics on. She dropped it round yesterday and it had 57 pics on including the ones where he was only a minute old.

Hey, that is wonderful news about that extra disk. It must have been awful to think you had lost some of those early days one, at least you have a few. I was looking at DS1s the other day to see if they compare to DS2, reminded me to start taking more of DS2 as I catalogued pretty much DS1s first few months etc.

Understandable re the weight loss, as long as it trickles down I think is good. I have good weeks and bad weeks, my bad ones tend to stem from when it is rainy and I end up indoors with DS1 baking

Going slowly here, only another pound, but it does make me feel better that it is slowly descending. Am back in another set of Jeans (just) so am using that as an incentive and DH paid me a compliment yesterday too

Helloooo! Kitkat here, I said elsewhere I would name change if I got my pics back

goes to show its not what u know its who u know.......

well done on getting a compliment!!!

Well I dipped to 10 9 and today i'm back up to 10stone 10lb, I'm going to try really hard to get the weightloss right this week, I was doing fairly well until my godmother came to visit and a rather large yummy spread was laid on... made a bit of a pig of myself never mind will aim for 10 stone 8.5 lb for next sunday.

Hope you all had a better week than me
