Hey Danni, hope all is good with you and Thomas, sure he is running rings round you like Bella is me ;-) I'm following the Cambridge diet but the less strict stage 2 which means you get a dairy allowance and an evening meal plus 3 of their products per day. Xx

Hey all well here thank you. Have managed to lose 20lbs in 6 weeks which I am really happy with, I'm really starting to notice a difference in my clothes and people have started commenting on my weight loss :) have 10lbs to go till my pre pregnancy weight! The plan I'm doing is quite expensive...

Ah you should be proud, it's a massive achievement. :) I've just upped my calories and feeling a lot more energetic so a short run is definitely on the cards this weekend. Problem is I only like to go out in the dark so it means waiting till later, I like going about 6.30 and then eating when I...

Thank you :) Wow one already... It goes so quickly doesn't it! This morning I was looking at Bella and realised how tall she is and that she's not a baby anymore :( I think I look at her and see my little 6 month old.. Are you thinking of having anymore? I really need to get to your diary and...

Thank you both. She has been much better this week (apart from bedtimes when she is always a terror ;) ) Weigh In today and lost a pound, I'm ok with that and feel like I want to carry on the vlcd route for now. I'm hopeful that next week I will have a much better loss to make up for it...

Lost 3lbs this week, happy with that :) still enjoying the plan and will continue for as long as I do. Aiming for 2lbs next week which will give me my stone award.

Yeh we are doing good thank you :) things are much improved xx

Thanks girls :) dare I say it? I'm actually really enjoying this plan so far (I know it's less than 2 weeks in at the moment) but I'm enjoying the basicness of the plan. When Charles offers me something it feels much easier saying no now that I have a strict plan to follow. I had got in to the...

Thank girls. :) had my first weigh in this morning and I lost a whopping 9lbs! Gobsmaked!!!! Such a huge loss (was secretly hoping for 7lbs) and really, really motivated to carry on for another week. Set a target of 4lbs off for next week, hope I can do it. Glad to hear you are all well xx

Hey girls, sorry for the lack of updates. All ok here thanks. Bella is a beautiful cheeky monkey and is growing up so fast! I'm really enjoying the balance of being at home and 3 days at work a week. Started learning to drive which is something I've always meant to do but just never got round...

Hey :-D You still have time! Hmmmm tips... Are you running the whole 4k at the mo or is it a mixture of walk/jog/run? The baked oats were really nice actually although i forgot to add vanilla essence and had with a little sugar rather than sweetener as was sharing with bubs xx

Thanks girls :) Danni that's exactly how Bella was until yesterday, you'll be chasing him around in no time ;) xx

Hi girls hope you are all well. Thought I'd pop in and let you know that Bella is walking! Took her first steps on New Year's Eve but was then poorly and didn't really do it again but yesterday she just took off! Very proud mummy here :-D <3 xx

Have woken up today and decided to fast today rather than tmrw. Fancy a roast tmrw and there is no way I can manage that on a 500 cal day. It's so windy and rainy here so will probably have a day in doors with my little boo (who can now walk) <3 very proud! Got my friend mark round this...

The counselling is tough going, Charles doesn't want to be there at all and things are being discussed that are hard for us both to hear but it's got to be done if we are going to make it work. I know relationships can be hard at times but jeeez.... If it wasn't for Bella I know I would have...

Hey, all ok here thanks. Me and Charles went to see Kasabian on Saturday night so stayed overnight in a hotel while my mum had Bella. Had a great time and Bella enjoyed herself at grandmas :) was nice to just be the two of us but I was very glad to pick my little one up the next day. Today is...

Still haven't managed to get back on track.. Night out fir friends 30th tonight which includes a 3 course meal. Feeling fat and frumpy but still not able to get myself in check. Hoping for a fresh start as of Monday. Would like to lose 7lbs by Christmas, which is very ambitious! Bella has a...

She has a right stinker of a cold bit is happy enough in herself :) she's such a chatterbox at the moment, doesn't stop :) x

How have the keeping in touch days gone? It will be hard but I think the expectation is worse than the reality... I was really freaking out about leaving Bella but wasn't as bad as I'd feared. What hours will you do when you go back? Will it be 5 days? xx

Struggling to keep up with diaries (including mine) since starting back at work last week. I'm So busy!!! Loving the balance of work and home I've got at the moment though.. I guess it helps massively that my sister is looking after Bella and I'm very part time. Food had been good but this week...

Been busy due to being back at work, Bella and im on call this week so have the sales phones and emails to deal with. Stressful with a 9 month old to look after. My girl is 9 months old today <3 Lost half a pound this week, happy with that as I have my period and usually I gain! Hope...

Work ended up being fine, quite nice to be back. Also Bella had fun at my sisters so that was a relief :) day off today, meeting up with my sister to take the children to the park and then popping to tesco. It looks like a nice bright day today so want to make the most of it. Ended up having a...

Feeling sad today :( Bella has been such hard work the last couple of weeks that I've almost been looking forward to going back. I've just been looking at her while she sleeps and I just feel horrific for feeling irritated by her and knowing that from tmrw I'm not going to be her sole carer :(...

This weekend has consisted of too much chocolate again.. Still not a complete binge though so there is improvement! ;) lost a pound this week, happy enough with that after my box of lindor on Tuesday night! Bella seems better as well she's not quite as wingey - I'm back at work on Wednesday...

It was. It's quite nice, good for 100 calories :) I had Chinese.. Chicken chow mein and beef with spring onions was nice but I ate the lot and then Charles gave me a box of lindor which haven't survived the evening :-/ what a pig I am! Back on it tmrw. Hope your good xx

Not fun at all is it :-/ she's been better today but still not herself x

Finished today on 632 - no jelly in so had a muller and then an extra rice cake. Poor Bella has been so sad today, defiantly teething and she has nappy rash which is usually a sign that another tooth is due :(

Meant to be fasting today but may go up to 800 calories as feeling the stress. Bella had the mother of all tantrums this afternoon, have never heard anything like it - throwing herself back, sweating and screaming :-0 ended up giving her calpol as thought she might be in pain.. She's asleep now...

Have over indulged this weekend - not as badly as usual though so hoping this counts for something.. I've still been recording my calories and it could be LOTS worse! STS this week which is annoying as was hoping for 2 off :-/ oh well will try for that thus week x

She slept from 7pm till 7.30am so a good night here! :-D I've started bathing her most nights and she seems to sleep really well after. I guess the swimming also tired her out xx

Still no sign of new teeth, sure it won't be long though. Are you well? xx

Sounds exactly like Bella at that age, we also used to call it the witching hour! (Although more like 2 hours) it was just something she grew out of at around 3 or 4 months old. Nothing would settle her, apart from sometimes Disney Junior ;) x

Ended up taking Bella swimming which she loved :-D so pleased she enjoyed it as wasn't sure. She's still been very grumpy today, really clingy and I've struggled to get anything done.. Hope she sleeps through as these are typically the days when she has a bad nights sleep so fingers crossed...

They really do don't they, absolute nightmare! X

Thanks :) She has been really grumpy today apart from when we took her swimming so I'm expecting teeth number 7 and 8 any day now (so far they have always come through in pairs!) x

Have a whinge bag on my hands today (Bella) ;) I'm guessing she's got another tooth coming through! Was going to take her swimming for the first time but not sure if I should if she's not feeling great.... Was pleased with yesterday's fast day but I was soooo hungry, 500 calories really isn't...

Hey Brit welcome back :-D Going to read with interest your transition to becoming vegan! Those men sound like complete idiots, how annoying to have to get up to that in the morning. Hope your ok xx

Thanks girls. Was mostly good yesterday.. Went over calories but didn't binge! Today I went to Nando's but didn't have chips or dessert :-D Hmmmm, Charles and I are spending time together which is nice without all the crap that living together can bring - not sure how realistic this is going...

Weigh in this morning and I've lost a pound. Happy enough with that but as I've said many times before I need to step it up a gear. Would like to lose as much as possible before christmas. The key for me is not going binge mad on a Saturday and then following on with the bad eating on a Sunday...

Hey! So good to see you back! :) just about to watch a film but will catch up with your diary tmrw xx

Fast day today, been busy so it hasn't left me too much time to obsess about food. We went to see my gran this morning (me, Bella, my sister and my nephew Jack) my gran has the early signs of Alzheimer's and doesn't remember Bella until I go and see her. She loves babies though and she is in...

Hey hun welcome back :) I've been AWOL for a few weeks but back now and trying hard to shift this weight for good ;) xx

Busy day here today - got up and got Bella and I ready to go in to the city centre. I had an appointment at the council so got that out the way and then looked round the shops, I was looking for a coat as its turned freezing but couldn't find one I really liked. Literally bumped in to my ex...

Thank you :) Successful fast day today 516 calories, off to bed as bloomin starving! ;-)

Need to make more effort to post, it's weird now I'm out of the habit. Bad weekend food wise, fast day tomorrow and a 100% week to follow x

Food plan: (B) 2 crumpets with Philly and marmite (L) muller, 2 Jaffa cakes, ham, grapes (S) nougat (D) Chinese (will make sensible choices)

Ah she is doing great. So much happier now she can crawl, think she was getting very frustrated! Hope you and little Thomas are doing good x

Hey girls, thank you for all your messages. It's lovely to come on and read all the support <3 Finding things really hard at the moment - me and Charles do love each other but it just doesn't feel enough. We have really horrible arguments and I'm finding it is harder to forgive and forget...

Eeeeeek, haven't been on in 2 weeks.. Lots going on here with me and C. He has moved out :( hopefully we will be able to make it together one day but if not its best we are both happy and not rowing all the time for my little Bellas sake. In other news my weight is on it's way down :-D and...

Food looking delicious :-p really pleased your able to take the time off to feel better. Lots of relaxing for you, maybe even try and get a nap! xx

Bad day AGAIN yesterday - need to sort myself out and start losing weight! I can just eat sooo much without feeling sick it's ridiculous :-/ Have a friend coming over today with her 2 year old, she is a sw consultant and is always good so hoping she rubs off on me. So far today I've had fruit...

I felt a bit odd going to bed (that's the only way I can describe it) woke at 2am for a wee and had a show - contractions started from then. This was the Wednesday morning and I had Bella Sunday night so was quite a long process for me. Are the shooting pains regular? X

Lovely pics, good luck for weigh in x

I'm in 2 minds about it, one half can think of nothing worse but the other half needs to get back in to some sort of routine.. I'm very lucky that I have my sister to look after Bella so I can just about afford to work 3 days per week so should hopefully be a nice balance x

Aww thank you :) how are you feeling? The last 7 months have flown by! I've arranged to go back on the 29th October for 3 days a week so really not to bad. :) xx

Bella in Asda yesterday, first time in a trolley <3

The doctor said it was viral and will go on it's own, I suspected that but did want to make sure. She charmed everybody in the waiting room, she certainly knows how to turn on the cuteness ;) Oh it does me too. I'm back in work next week for some keeping in touch days :-o pretty nervous! x

Congratulations :-D x

Having another very hungry day today, I'm going to have to just get over it because no amount of healthy food is going to satisfy me today.. My poor Bella has a horrible sounding cough so I'm taking her to the doctors this afternoon, she did have a cold a couple of weeks ago so it seems that...

They are really nice :-p not sure of syns but they are 140 calories which is reasonable. I would imagine they will be around 7 syns xx

Not much planned for today, it looks nice outside though so will make the most of it and get some fresh air. Today's food: (B) greek style muller bliss Pineapple (L) grilled breakfast (bacon, egg, toast, beans, hash browns) (D) Chicken in mushroom sauce with pasta

She doesn't seem bothered about the cough but it wakes her up and then she's wide awake for around 30 minutes. Happy as Larry though so I know it could be a lot worse! It sounds like a chesty cough and nothing worse than that but I think if she hasn't improved by tmrw I will take her to docs. X

Yawn! Bella awake trying to crawl in her cot from 2.30, ended up putting her in bed with me and Charles slept on the sofa (eeeek) as she wouldn't settle. She has a horrible sounding cough which wakes her up and then won't settle again. I'm really hungry again today, sticking to a low to average...

Thanks :) yeh me too - so far so good although I know from experience that this doesn't mean she'll stay asleep the whole night ;) x

Today's food (B) 2 ryvita with 2 borsin cheeses Low fat orange yoghurt (L) roast chicken mugshot with added broccoli Fruit pastels Salt and vinegar French fries (S) pineapple and petit filous (D) LM sausages, scrambled egg, onion and baked beans (S) Special K chewy bar Total calories -...

Thank you :-) although I ended up uploading ones I didn't want to and can't upload the only photo I've managed to get so far of Bellas 2 bottom teeth. Much prefer uploading from my phone! Lol I know it's hard work isn't it - your packing will unfortunately take twice as long with little man...

Some photos from the weekend while im on the laptop and Bella is busy playing and watching Sheriff Callie ;-)

yes she's much better thank you. Back to her cheerful little self :-D x

Sorry to hear you're poorly - are you able to rest? I had it while at school, knocked me for 6... xx

So we have tooth number 3!!! Explains why she was so upset on Monday, bless her little cottons. I have managed 2 good food days which I'm really pleased with despite Charles bringing toffee crisps home last night and I have just been for a jog, only 15 minutes but the first one I've been on...

Bless him! :) x

Today has gone to plan apart from a few giant buttons and 1 too many crunch creams. Haven't left the house today and feeling cooped up, Bella been a right misery as well, Think she is teething again :-/ Not sure what's wrong with me at the moment but feeling like I just can't be bothered to...

I put Bella on HB milk at the same time Sarah put Cole on it and it didn't agree with her - just shows each baby different. Like Mia she was feeding all the time, reaching 30oz within 12 hours sometimes but it did even out around 9-10 weeks old. Try HB milk if you want to as it has worked for...

Back on it today after a naughty food day yesterday. Went to my friends for lunch and indulged a little too much.. had profiteroles and extra thick cream, delicious but soooo filling! Also had some family photos taken on their camera as we literally have none of the 3 of us. Today we are just...

I have no idea, it's been happening since I had Bella. Had a few tests but nothing came back so they put it down to a virus.. Should go back really as it keeps happening. I just feel achey all the time like I need a really good stretch! X

Struggling with 500 calorie fast days so allowing a few more (no more than 800) will see if I still lose next week. Should be weighing tmrw but not going to bother as got a right bloat on plus my joints are all weird and swollen again :-/ seeing a gain again would set me right off track at the...

Fastish day today... 680 calories. Ham and boiled egg salad with salad cream Quorn beef slices Apple Grapes Quorn chicken salad with cheese and light honey and mustard dressing Special K bar

Low calorie and filling = winner! I will defiantly be looking out for that recipe. I am going to def pick up soon low cal jelly and squinty cream, pudding for 25 cals!? :-0 xx

Went to my mums today for lunch and had a big old slice of carrot cake and then have felt headachey all afternoon so ate 2 giant smartie cookies. Need to cut out the sugary treats in the week and save them for the weekend. Also not eating nearly enough fruit and veg... Food: (B) oat so simple...

Would def recommend a jumparoo - Bella tends to be a little bit clingy but is more than happy to bounce and play for 20-40 minutes which gives me some time to cook/clean or relax! We've just picked up a second hand leap frog activity centre for £20 which I'm hoping she'll also like (would have...

Good luck for weigh in tmrw and hope you hear some good news re house offer. Have you tried her on nelsons teething granules? They are really calming and seem to give a bit of relief! xx

Blimey 12 weeks!? It really goes fast doesn't it.. Lovely photos, v pleased sleeping in his got was a success and he wasn't to bothered by injections. As Penny said a lot of that 3lbs is probably bloat and you've enjoyed yourself anyways ;) x

Ah wow what a lovely idea putting the box together full of lovely little bits and then letting you chose your own pair of beautiful shoes - sounds amazing and like you were spoilt (as you should be) Birthday weekend sounds amazing and check you out straight back on a fast day - welcome back xx

Problem is I haven't stopped munching since weigh in, seeing the gain has sent me off track :( Today is meant to be a fast day but feel like rebelling against it.. I'm glad she's feeling better, Bella had a grumpy week last week, nightmare! Xx

I really hope it's off next week, I probably didn't help matters yesterday by having a scoff but I tend to eat what I like on Saturdays and it doesn't usually affect the scales... Fingers crossed. I had my lay in today, Bella woke at 6ish and I managed to get her back to sleep until 7.20 when...

Hey girls, well I weighed and it's a 3lbs gain!? Totm came this morning so I'm being sensible and putting it down to that because I've been really good this week! 3lbs!!!!! it's taken me 3 weeks to lose that :-0 really not going to take it seriously and carry on. Jade, what symptoms does she...

The rice cakes sound delicious will make a note to grab them. Meal out sounds lovely x

Thanks for all your replies, reassuring to know that it seems normal. I guess it's their version of sleep talking ;) x

Another busy one today, was meant to be fasting but Bella had the mother of all temper tantrums on the way to meet my friend at Starbucks and I succumbed to a coconut frapachino - could of pulled back elsewhere but needed food today. Totm very due and tempted not to weigh tmrw morning as v...

Congrats on the 2 off :-) x

Terrible night here, I've been spoilt with Bella sleeping through from 10 weeks old :-0 Poor little thing has a stinking cold and is also teething :( went straight down at 7pm But then woke screaming at half past, took till 9 to settle her then I had a bath and she woke up unsettled again at 10...

Morning diary, having a lazy one today. We usually have plans to see friends or my sister but none today. Bella just down for a nap so I'm catching up on here with a cuppa. I'm finding it so hard to entertain her at the moment she gets bored and frustrated so easily, don't know if it's teething...

You and bump look amazing x

Gorgeous bump :) hope you had a lovely birthday at the beach? I didn't really enjoy pregnancy if I'm honest, the novelty of being pregnant yeh and growing my girly but none of the symptoms... :-/ I wonder how I'm going to cope with another pregnancy if I'm lucky enough to have another, might...

Thanks for the support and photo love girls :) Have had a lovely weekend, Bella been charming and C making a real effort. Food been a bit naughty though so got to have a good one today.

Hi Kez, sounds so much like Bella was - best bit of advice I ever read was put baby down to sleep an hour and a half after they last woke (even if doesn't look tired) and get some sort of white noise going to settle her. We have a Ewan the dream sheep and I play it every time she has a nap. Hope...

My 6 month old bubba :) She's been very cheerful today x

It's really flown, can't believe it :-0 xx

Yeh things have got worse :( I think having a baby has bought up alot of issues he has with his parents and upbringing.. We had a real chat last night and are going to give it a proper shot but if it doesn't work we will separate. Want Bella to grow up in a happy home. X

Lost 1.5lbs this week which I'm pleased with as takes me in to the next stone bracket. Since 16 June I've lost 8.5lbs really not too bad considering I've pretty much been eating what I like (within reason) In other news my baby is 6 months old today, where has the time gone!?

Fast day today and I'm really hungry, trying to save the majority of my calories for this evening when I need them the most. Bella has been such a winger today, really getting on my nerves to be honest :-/ she's currently having a nap and has been down half an hour I'm hoping she stays asleep...

Thank you, much better night as Bella slept from 7-6am - I went to bed at 11 so a decent night sleep for me too x

Ha ha, when I first had Bella I used to walk in to town and on the way stop at the shop and grab a pack of biscuits or large choc bar and eat as I walked too ;) we needed the sugar! Yeh, my sister suggested its about the age they get withdrawal from mum If they aren't with us so could be it -...

Yeh all good thanks, Bella quite clingy today although I'm round my sisters so at least she's entertained by my 8 and 4 year old nieces :) Walked here which takes an hour and then an hour back so that's 2 hours out of my day I won't be snacking ;) hope alls good with you xx

Thanks all :) been really off plan today, start again tmrw. We set off for the beach today but got stuck in some serious traffic so after an hour we turned back, couldn't risk queuing any longer with Bella in the car especially when it's so hot. Would have been her first time at the seaside too.. :(

2lbs loss thus week, yay!!!!! So pleased with this as feel like my metabolism has finally kicked in and my body is letting go of some of the weight :-D

It's really hard as you just desperately want something to work and what works for one baby doesn't work for another. I really hope it works for her and hopefully you'll notice an improvement really soon x

Fast day: Boots chicken noodle salad Melon Steak, mushrooms, broccoli and lettuce Activia 0% yoghurt Total calories - 507 Plan on weighing tomorrow morning, be happy with a pound but secretly hoping for 2. It's been really hot though and I'm thinking the sun makes me feel a bit swollen :-0

I know, should really go back 4 as well but we can just about manage with me doing 22 hours, going to be tight though.... x

It's scraped back as so bloomin hot! :) to be fair it doesn't look much different just a bit brighter! Xx

Aww cute pic :) great loss for you this week. I'd have another hi-fi bar, I ate my last salted caramel one this morning - booooooo x

Phew it's hot here again! Have had a friend round this afternoon who it's always lovely to see, she's a fellow slimmer so we always have a good chat about diet/food/exercise and motivate each other. Popped in to work today to hand in my return to work/change of hours letter - I've requested I...

You really should, you won't be dissapointed xx

Do it! :) Yeh pink ladies are the best :-p xx

When we had been using the colief a day or so she had a few massive poo's, sorry tmi but a full nappy which was yellow in colour. It settled down after a few days, it does say on the instructions if it continues then to use less drops per bottle. She had been constipated for a week or so...

Hey you, arghhh the usual rubbish - him being an idiot!!! Loving my sub salads, I have you to thank for my chicken tika addiction - ventured out and had a beef one the other day which was also really good. Think I'm going to try the teriyaki one on Friday :-p Xx

I didn't like doing it either, but like you wasn't going to have a baby screaming at me for 30 minutes in the middle of the night :-/ We also have the TT machine, so convenient and then we started on colief so ended up having to wait 30 minutes anyway... Before you know it she will be in a...

Colief was the best thing ever for us! Would definitely recommend it. Really hope you see some improvements soon. We went from a really distressed baby to a really happy one in just 2 days. Really annoying having to put drops in 30 mins b4, we ended up pre making and storing in the fridge...

Erghhh unfortunately today isn't any better, I have a miserable baby on my hands who won't sleep even though I know she is exhausted. She was awake on and off from 1ish this morning! Not really speaking to Charles although we've had a few emails today, he is also working this evening so won't...

I'm the same, want the big losses but like bad food too much ;) x

Check you out getting a loss after such a lovely weekend, fast days really are amazing aren't they! Your food sounds so tasty, especially the lamb xx

If the basket has a stand could you put a couple of books underneath the top end? Like Penny says we also do this now for her cot as she has been really snuffly. Bella slept in her chair for the first 8 weeks or so, as soon as I put her in her Moses basket she would wake up but yet sleep for...

On plan day yesterday just didn't have time to post. Decided I will weigh in on Friday this week, just been looking and since the 16th June I've lost 5lbs, maybe this time around slow and steady may win the race, we will see.. ;) always been used to much faster, bigger losses. Been up since 5...

Very good sleeping little Olivier, it's lovely when they first start sleeping through if a bit of a shock ;) My nan is terrible, she fed me marshmallows, chocolate fingers and a kit kat today when I went over. I somehow managed to avoid the carrot cake!? Hope you have a lovely day, great to hear...

It's so so hot! Been sitting in my nans garden this afternoon which was lovely but I'm glad to be back in my cool living room. I think me and Bella were the only 2 to sleep through the storm last night, didn't hear a thing ;-) Weighed this morning and have lost a pound. Again I'm pleased my...

Ooh that looks really really yummy :-p xx

Brilliant! Well done x

Really impressed with how much food I've got for my 500 calories today, it's a hungry one as well! Xxx

Much better sleep last night, tilted Bellas cot to help with the snuffles and it seemed to work as I only remember her waking up once and that was just to put her dummy back in! Hoping for the same again tonight. Fast day today: Weight watchers carrot and lentil soup Melon fingers Apple and...
