    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Hope everyone has had a good Thursday! I've had a really nice one - went to my sister in laws for the day with the girls. She has also just started slimming world after my husband and I have said how we find it, so she made me a SW friendly lunch. After the rubbish rainy start to the day, it...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Hiya, The Ipad is the 2nd for the household! I've had one just over a year and once my husband got an iPhone he started trying to use my ipad all the time, then Jessie started so bit the bullet and ought a second! Mine is attached to me at all times!

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    No posts over the weekend as I was crazy busy and didnt really get an extended chunk of time to sit down - and when I did, I went to bed!! Had Jessie's little friends 2nd birthday party yesterday, very proud to 100% resist the buffet! today is another miserable rainy/sleety day here, and we've...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    So I'm writing this post whilst simultaneously feeding Lola, just after clearing up a load of Jessie puke - the glamour of parenthood! So plan wise today has been fine, but its been a bit stressful in other ways! Top of the irritation is that the ipad mini I ordered was redelivered today for the...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Thursday again! Ie just realised its now 1 week since my binge, and I haven't been tempted since, which I'm really,happy about. Less happy about how slowly I feel the weight is coming off - after my first daughter I shifted it really quickly and this feels slower. anyway, aside from that had a...

    Diary of a binge eater.

    Sorry you've had such a tough few days - I agree that totally cutting out trigger foods can trigger binges in itself. I know that a big part of my bingeing is linked to a sense of feeling deprived (same with drinking). One strategy that was suggested to me when I was in treatment for my eating...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Another freezing cold day here, can't wait for the weather to improve a bit so walking is at least a little bit enjoyable and not an endurance task. Slightly more of a boring day today, apart from going out first thing to dd1's dancing group we have been stuck in so far as we have an...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Just thought I'd post a quick update on today, because I've had a really great day and felt very motivated etc and just wanted to share that! I think because I've been busy, but not stressed busy I've found it easy to 'keep going' and get loads done. On those more slouchy days I find that I end...

    My 128 lb Drop Diary [WEEK 67]

    Hope you've had a good day today - and well done with the rowing. Normally I'm quite a hardcore exerciser (when I haven't given it all up and eaten rubbish for 9 months during pregnancy) and I think rowing is the hardest cardio out there!

    I'm exactly the same at home! Even if its a film I've wanted to see for ages nd am really excited about I can't focus 100% and end up messing about on the iPad! Drives my husband mad! So what is your absolute fav film and/or genre? X

    Hello! Congrats on being recently married - how long ago was your wedding? My other daughter is called Jessie, coming up two and a half and such a monkey! Been out this morning for a big walk with them both, pushing the double buggy against the wind was pretty tough, and so so cold! Xx

    Hiya, cant be massively helpful on your diary as I do EE and I see you tend to go for green, but wanted to say congrats on your pregnancy! I'm here to lose the baby weight (my little girl is 3 and a half weeks) - I'm generally pretty fit and slim, but pack weight on during pregnancy (did the...

    So, onto today, should be another busy one with a couple of groups to go to with my girls, and a couple of walks. Hopefully will do the treadmill today too as OH should be home early. As for food today, breakfast - mixed berries and an apple with a muller light (tesco shop delivered last night...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    My Slim Fast Journey

    Good luck! I'm also trying to shed the baby weight! I have an almost 2 and a half year old girl and a three week old girl. I gained lots of weight both pregnancies, but managed to lose it all in between - just annoyed that I did it a second time! so we are in a pretty similar situation, at home...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    End of another weekend! Spent a couple of hours in kid heaven/parent hell (a packed out soft play centre!) this afternoon so feeling exhausted. Good job DD1 is at preschool tomorrow so that makes the day a tiny bit easier and as husband am take her in the morning that means Lola and I could go...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    So, on to day 6 of my new diary, and I'm pleased with myself for carrying on with it despite the blip on Thursday. Usually I would have discarded this after a binge like that and not faced up to how it made me feel, but trying to do it differently this time. So, I weigh on a Saturday morning...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Today was a much better day, felt so much more in control - that's a huge part of the difficultly for me, I'm such an emotional eater. Spent most of yesterday completely over tired and stressed so of course binged. Today, my parents were here helping out all day so I was relaxed, hence I kept to...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Yes, if I didn't say I was drawing a line I'd be tempted to say that I'd skip weighing this week, and as I weigh myself on a Saturday, I'd then say to myself that I may as well write Friday off too, and start again on the Saturday - then Id convince myself that sat is a silly day to start again...

    Hi Tetris, thanks so much for commenting! Lovely to hear from you, and thanks for such helpful advice. Yesterday felt rubbish, but have decided to draw a massive line under it and just get on with things without thinking I've ruined it all so may as well give up entirely. That's my usual...

    Ok, this is a tough one to write. basically had a really tough day, kicked off by being exhausted from baby being up half the night, early start out the house for a play date, elder daughter playing up etc etc. got home early afternoon and was hit by major urge to binge. Resisted for a couple...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    So today has felt like another good day on the plan. Been pretty busy - the three of us ventured out to 'dancing ducklings' which my eldest loves in the double buggy, then on the way back, stopped in to pick up the dog and walked on a little more. Then spent the afternoon at my parents house...

    Well, today is the first day that I'm at home alone with two kids! The morning was fine, we managed to get ourselves breakfasted and dressed, and went out for a nice long walk with the dog (pushing a double buggy is hard work!). Lunchtime was more of a challenge - sorting lunch for a demanding...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    Day three of my new diary! Yesterday was a good day, kept totally to plan and had a lovely time with my family - which isn't always the case!! Today is the first day my husband goes back to work after paternity leave, so my first day alone, although my older daughter is at preschool today. So...

    Losing the baby weight (again!)

    So yesterday went pretty much exactly to plan - no extra munchies (although a box of Malteasers in the cupboard kept winking at me) and we went for that walk, despite all the thick sludge which meant I had to push the double buggy with all my strength! So today I'm feeling ok, pretty tired...
