Losing weight.... who's joining me?

[nikki1306]

My boobs have stayed the same I am gonna be careful though cause i wasn't skinny to start off with and i am determined this time round to try and eat properly and not just chocolate ,it's hard though but at least having a baby in november gives me a good 6 months before the summer clothes come out again xx

looking forward to joining this thread... i can't wait to start a diet... before i became pregnant i was always starting and stopping a diet.. my mum is a diet fanatic.. and i suppose it rubbed off on me... i did the atkins once - about 3 months of it.. i lost so much weight.. but it went back on over time! i've done slimming club (green and red days) this time i'm going to do weight watchers.. never followed their healthy eating diet before! my brother used to lay football about 4 times a week, run every day and weight train... he injured his back and was off excercise for a few weeks... his weight ballooned... he joined weight watchers and lost about 4 stone in less than 2 months.. i know he had it to loose which makes it easier but he said he ate lots and really enjoyed it... i've put on 2 stone and still have 5 weeks left to go of my pregnancy...

can i ask a question? how much weight did you all loose the first week after having your babies? am i nieve or can you loose upto a stone in the first few days (baby, water etc) i also read that 2 stone of baby weight is only 5lb of actual body fat...

Hello, I thnk I may have to join you, I got weighed in the chemist and am 2 stone more than my pre pregnancy weight

Welcome aboard Kim

I weighed myself again this morning and I have lost another 2 pounds, so 1/2 stone now in 3 weeks whohoo! Only another 1 and a half stone to go

Hayley - I didn't weigh myself during pg as I knew I had put lots on but didn't want to upset myself so can't answer your question about how much you loose. I know that I was quite shocked though cos although my bump went, I was left with a jelly belly it's going down now though!! I am breast feeding so can't diet as strictly as I would ideally like too so have just cut out all snacks and am eating 3 healthy meals a day. Breastfeeding does also help to bring your figure back so hopefully by November when I am due to go back to work I am looking like I was before I got PG - that's my target anyway!!

Good luck to everyone else loosing weight

Hi guys,

I'm going to have to join you all no offence but I didn't want to, but i'm soooooooooooooo sick of looking like a lard ar*e & I can't fit into my old clothes (my hips haven't gone back to normal - hoping they do)

I've been doing slim fast for the last couple of weeks & have been really good, also started excercising, never did it before! and I haven't lost anything, so depressing 7 disheartening

I haven't read all the posts about it so its probably already been discussed (sorry) but what diets are you on & is it working? I've tried weightwatchers before & found it quite hard & so time consuming & I didn't lose much weight either.

I really need help. The only thing that has ever worked for me was Atkins, don't want to do that coz of the health implications & I put the weight back on once I stopped it anyway, so no point. What can I do????

nicki have you tried slimming club? similar to weight watchers but you don't have to weigh food... you get a list of foods you must eat every day - like 1/2 pint of semi milk, so many slices of bread, cereal etc! then you get to pick a red day (meat) or green day (pasta, potatoes etc) i lost a bit of weight doing it... but like you i did the atkins and lost loads.. but as you say! it all goes back on... i'm going to give weight watchers a go... might even just do my own diet! cut out crap, cereal and hard boiled egg whites for breakfast (not in same bowl) eat my main meal at lunch time (lots of fish or chicken with veg) and then just fruit and yogurt in the evening... always works for me.

Thanks Hayley,

You're good, thinking about dieting already!! It didn't cross my mind when I was preggers.

I might give slimming club thingy a go when i've finished my supplies of slim fast (what a waste of money )

Hey girls,

I'm new to this topic and previously I was breastfeeding and couldnt diet.

My problem s chocolate. got a big thing for it since it became my cravings but now its beyond a joke. Would eat numerous bars a night from the fridge. was telling my brother about this and he had the most amazing idea for me and I can prove it works, tried before I preached about it!

Every night i would just scoff a bar then another, hardly even chewing it!. I keep cadburys dairy milks in my freezer now, I break off a square and I suck on it. It lasts so much longer cause its so hard but it also tastes better cause your getting so much more flavour from having to take your time and suck it. I know if i completely cut out chocolate I wouldnt last. Apparently the more thorough you chew your food, your brain send messages to 'wherever' telling it its actually had more than it has due to the sucking or thorough chewing. I was 13.5 - 14 stone at the end of my pregnancy, I had alex and got to 12. In the last couple of weeks i have been doing this and during the day eating normally and snacking on fruit. drink water as often as i can to bag me up but its cleannsing me out too. I got weighed today and I was 10stone 13lb!

SO GIRLS GET THOSE BARS IN THE FREEZER AND GET SUCKING!

god that sounded rude!

Hi ladies, you can buy all the instructions of the slimming world diet on ebay for a few pound. They send it to you via email and there is even advice on dieting when breastfeeding. I'm definitely doing this once I've given birth

[skatty]

Oh Bexxie I already bought it but thanks

Rach, that's excellent that I can do it while pregnant! I am 23+3 so I hope its not too late! I have been eating so much chocolate its unbelievable but I am now getting to the stage where I want to get myself in check because I don't want to regret it after the birth. Do you know if I have to just follow the regular diet or do I need to make adjustments?

Thanks, [/img][/list]

[Strangeness]

Hun look at the two gorgeous babies you have got from it though! I look at my body with disgust most of the time but then I look at my son and think yeah I look shit under clothes but I have a beautiful son! I'd rather be a size 30 and have my son than be a size 10 and not.

 

[Lindsay]

dionne hun I feel exactly the same I have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes that I can't fit into! I too am a size 14 and have always been a size 10/12. The weight is coming off but not as quickly as I would like it too!! It's awful cos I dread bumping into people cos I feel unattractive. I know that I have got a beautiful baby boy who I love to bits and couldn't bare to be without but I still want to be thin!!!!!!!!!!
