Thanks Lottie. I had hoped that would be the case, but it seems I've even been eating SO much I've gained even when breastfeeding!!!! Still, there is time to rectify this and get back in the wagon. A bit worried about cutting back too much and affecting my milk supply, so just going to take it gradually and just try not to stuff my face ALL the time lol
How's life treating you lovely Lottie? Good to hear from you again xxx

Epic fail today! Went to a baby group but got home, grumpy baby, grabbed lots of chocolate and sat here stuffing my face whilst trying to feed and cuddle her to sleep.
My only achievement is that I have tracked it all in MFP, so at least it's there for me to see and remind me that Inneed to reign it in.
It helps with motivation to see it all written down. Hopefully cutting back a bit tomorrow!!

It's not a fail - it's just one of those things. You're tired, that's all, and a new baby is hugely demanding!
Would love to see a pic of her, by the way xxx

Enjoying yourselves - the key phrase there!

It may not be going quite to plan Claire, but you are doing summat even if it is logging on MFP, posting here and starting to think about losing weight. You did so brilliantly before and you are the very same person you just need a bit more of her to emerge to guide you forward,bab !
I loved our old site and found it so motivating. We all seemed so on it that summer. I wonder how Essie and Tracy and Susu are ?

Yes, that was such an amazing time when we were all forging ahead with such amazing losses. Also remember denn, Shelley, candice and Eleanor . That meet up was so fun!
Thanks for the encouragement. Am feeling positive about moving back to healthy eating, just need to get into the right headspace, but I feel it coming!! Too embarrassed to talk about what I've been eating the last few days, but will start to document meals from next week onwards just did a Sainsbury's shop and stocking up on fruit, veg and healthier snacks

I see Denn on MFP, Elanor is on here sometimes, and I keep up with Shelley and Candice on FB - in fact, Shelley came to stay out here with me for a week, not long after I arrived.
Remember the pants that Essie brought us?
Don't worry Claire Bear, you're in the zone now, just keep logging and you'll be fine, lovely xx

Yes, the pants!!!! Lol bless Essie for making them
My little girl is called Isobel Alice. She's a very happy content little one, and I'm grateful to the breastfeeding to shove a few extra calories
Right. Well, can't say it's been a good week, but logging all my calories has helped me to get into a better frame of mind about dieting, and so hope this coming week to make some better choices.
Feeling PMT this week, and would like to ban all mirrors in the house. Really annoyed with myself for ha big put so much of the weight back on again. Swore to myself before falling pregnant that I would never get above 20st ever again... welll... oops!! Need to shift this and get back under. Remembering how good it felt last time to have achieved losing 9 stone. Will get there again. Here goes !

We can do it together Claire Bear!
Isobel - what a lovely name, and how wonderful that she's going easy on her mum and dad.

Better day today. Logged everything and didn't have any chocolate all day !! Ok, so I did have flapjack, but only 1 piece.
We did a roast dinner and I loaded up my plate with the steamed green veg, so not too much of the naughty roasted bits.
Feeling positive about this week

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl x Parenthood is a hard job, don't be too hard on yourself for the ups and downs with weight loss. You have done it before and can do it again. Good Luck x
