Losing weight.... who's joining me?
- Thread starter emilia
- Start date
Ahh I need to join you guys.
With the summer approaching I don't have any pregnancy summer clothes to hide behind because last summer my bump was tiny!
I'm 11.5 stone and would like to get to 10 stone. (I hate admiting this but I've actually put on 2lbs since giving birth - how depressing!).
I also have craved sugar since giving birth, I didn't have any cravings during pregnancy but now I think nothing of eating 3 creme eggs (oh yes Hels, I'm with you on the offer!). Like you say Emilia, it's too easy to pick up quickly naughty things like biscuit when you've only got a minute before little needs feeding etc.
My tip - keep a wee tub of sultanas, mixed seeds and mixed nuts (not salted nuts) in a handy place so when you need a sweet fix you can grab a small handful and have a nice healthy snack. *tastes nicer than it sounds!*
Exercise is the key for me so next week I'm going to make sure I take Olivia out in the pram every day - good fresh air for her and my thighs will also benefit!

im going to get rid of all my naughty food this week end, then im going to start on monday.
I really wish i could exercise, but my wound isnt healing too well, the most i can do is walk, but even that gets too much after a while. When the infection is defo all clear ill go swimming when simon is off work to have Charlotte.
This is exciting! We could do with a chart with all our names in and our start weight and our weekly weight loss (or is that too competative??) I wouldnt have a clue how to do it anyways!!!
Good Luck xxxxxxxxxx

I'm the same Layla.... The only thing stopping me grabbing the starch, is I know how crap I'll feel afterwards.
I'm going through a very stressng time right now and I know eating the crap won't help me cope with the situations. If that makes sense??
You're doing well - you'll feel better for it!!

Hi Sarah...
You don't have much to lose... try eating 3 healthy meals a day plus fruit and as much veg as you want. Cut down on bread and drink plenty water. The weight you want to lose will come off very slowly - aim for half to one pound a week.
Just healthy eating and a lot less choccie/crisps

I can't wait to start my diet tomorrow, I've been an glutton this weekend as my parents came up to visit and it is my Birthday so had lots of take away and birthday cake!
Are we having a weekly weigh in day ? Only I don't have scales in the house so will make sure I go to the chemist and use theirs in time for our weekly weigh in.
I think this support thread is the motivation I need to shift the weight! Olivia's baptism is 10 wks today so I'm hoping for 1lb a wk loss.
Layla - hope you're feeling happier soon {{hugs}}

Can I let you all in on a HUGE secret.... you won't tell?!!!!! 
I was a Weight Watcher Leader in Edinburgh for quite a few years, so if I can help with anything, do ask!!!
I'll post some recipes and the points along with it. It's a great diet to follow as it's more healthy and balanced eating, however, just healthy eating in general (without counting points) and a good attitude, will help shift the weight too.
I don't think everyone will feel comfy in logging in their weight, so perhaps we can just be honest with ourselves and log in our weight-loss every week. I'll post a thread called "Weigh-in Day" today where you can post either your weight, or note the weight you wish to lose.
We can do it...... a lb a week!! Hooraaaaayyyyy..... bye-bye jelly belly!!
I've got Jordans boobs - now I just need a waist to go with it.... could be a while, but I'll get there.
