well done setde! I thin im still losing a bit from the birth - and from pure exhaustion! Im 13st1 today

 

[catty1]

Cherelle - How can you possibly have weighed 14st, you look so skinny in all your photos. I went from 10st to 14st and I looked like a whale!

Weighed myself this morning and I am now 11st 11lb so 3lb down this week. I'm not doing anything special to lose this weight so I'm pretty happy although I have not regained my appitite yet so once I do I think i'll be in trouble.

Good news is I got back into my mid-pregnancy jeans today. My pre-pregnancy jeans still look ridiculously small when I hold them up against myself, I can't believe they used to be baggy on me! Happy to be wearing trousers without an elasticated waist though.

thanks hun! feel like i look absolutely huge in photos atm! And theres cameras everywhere where theres a newborn baba!

Youve done brilliantly! I havent got much of an appetite either, im hoping that continues for a while so i can lose a bit more x

 

[catty1]

Cherelle - you definetly don't look huge. I know what you mean about the cameras. If there's one thing that makes me sad it's that there won't be any nice photos of me with my newborn. I have a triple chin in all of them and I keep making people delete them. I've got loads of gorgeous pics of Owen on his own and with his daddy but none of me with him.

I've had to force myself to eat because it's important for milk supply and the midwife told me under no circumstances should I eat less then 1900 calories per day. My appitite is coming back now but it took 3 weeks and if left to my own devices I would of happily eaten nothing all day. It was so weird cos normally I'm a right pig and even when I'm ill I still eat.

Enjoy the first few weeks of weight loss, it felt great every time I stepped on the scales another few pounds were gone.

Catty I completely lost my appetite after having Alex aswell but Ive got it back now! Ive been eating lots! Thankfully Ive been eating mostly fruit inbetween breakfast and tea. But today Ive eaten 2 nectarine, 4 apricots and about a kilo of cherries which im sure cant be that good for me lol...

I need to weigh myself but we have no scales in our house so going to have to try and find some somewhere!... Hope ive lost a bit more.. im still a size 12. was looking at my shorts from last summer and they look tiny! I cant believe I was ever an 8.. I feel bigger than i was but i must be loads bigger i dont think i could get one thigh in my normal summer clothes!

I am going to weigh myself next week when he is 2 weeks old and then I will post my stats. I can see my stomach going down each day which is good. xx

 

[cherelle]

Catty i feel the same about the photos! And also loss of appetite, i pigged out for 9 months and now id happily starve!

A few pounds still coming off me - am 12st12 now x

 

[jodied]

Well ladies when I did my wii fit this morning I had lost two pounds so I'm down to 12 stone exactly which means I've lost 1/2 stone and I'm 1/4 of the way there

Well done for losing another pound setdse

Cherelle it really is dropping off you and I agree you look amazing in your pics

I'm the same hardly any photos with me and Ella - I look tired and fat in all of them and delete them ASAP

 

[catty1]

My appetite has well and truly returned. Especially for biscuits

 

[cherelle]

ha! i had pizza tonight but i hadnt eaten all day. And im expressing like theres no tomorrow - i think thats bound to burn some calories. Im 12st11 today - cant stop weighing myself but im not even trying to lose it yet! x

 

[catty1]

Cherelle - It's great isn't it. I've never loved going on the scales so much. I think my weight loss has pretty much stopped now though Only half a pound since Saturday.
Make sure you eat regularly though because it can effect your milk supply. I was also told that burning fat too quick can cause your body to release toxins into your milk. My OH has been practically forcefeeding me yoghurts for the past 4 weeks because it was the only food I fancied.

 

[bethx]

catty ive refused to but any biscuits as if theyre not in the house i cant eat them, although , found a box of malteasers and rather enjoyed them. also eating lots of icecream but it is very hot

well done jodie your getting there

Finally weighed myself yesterday and im 10 stone 3 lbs

Yeah me and the OH have been saying we really need to start planning healthy meals. We are going to do a big food shop today and get lots of fruit and veg for me to snack on. I just need to remember to eat! xx

 

[catty1]

get biscuits too

bethx - that is a great weight loss. i cant wait to be 10st something again

 

[bethx]

Ha thanks Catty. I cnt wait to be 9st something again

And cherelle dont buy the biscuits lol.. I have fridge full of fruit.. cherries mulberriies etc... theyre so cheap here though.. fruits too expensive in uk i reckon thats why so many people are fat! Oh nd I didnt get my appetite back until LO was at least 3 weeks old so hopefully yours will return soon x

 

[cherelle]

Well we did a good healthy shop Today is the first day ive weighed myself and havent lost weight so i reckon ill have to start working at it soon! Knew it was too good to be true!! x

 

[catty1]

Forgot to post my weigh in yesterday. I was 11st 10lb so just 1 pound this week. I will probably put that back on though. We had a little tea party for Owen's one month birthday and I made fairy cakes, a toffee loaf and chocolate brownies. We still have loads left which I am munching happily on.

How's everyone else doing?
