well done lea, you're so close now. it must feel fab ! am looking out for a cheap exercise bike now, you have inspied me. dont seem to be able to fit in walking or swimming at present but thinking i can do that in the evening in front of tv
Thanks M, that means a lot! It's harder to be strong now but I WILL get there this time. I WILL NOT gain 2 or 3 pounds and start from scratch......
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments - it is always such a good motivator.
I have prepared myself for 4 good days now before WI....I will exercise everyday and I will hide any tempting food and I will do well food wise. If I don't get to goal Friday it will only be because of too much exercise Not too much eating
Thanks Suz. Despite the lack of kicking I am having a good week. Been good food wise and just did 4o mins on my bike. I love exercising at the mo.
Also, I went for a walk today - normally i take the short cut up the back of the houses to avoid a MASSIVE steep long hill. Well today I just went and decided I would push my baby girl right to the top I felt it alright. I am so proud of myself though. I am making a change
Hi Lea - you are so right about the small changes that make a big difference - you will have burned some serious calories pushing the pram up that hill - so you should feel proud of yourself.
Just generally moving a little more when you would sit on your behind is all that's needed really - my skipping when the kettle boils etc or doing some squats - that sort of thing.
Every little helps - (and I hate Tesco - but they're right!) xx
Things have gone to pot. I feel so poorly. Cora has gastroenteritis and has been sick now for 4 days. Last night I felt it coming....now I can't move without feeling sick. Not fun. Exercise is down the pan (although I managed 30 minutes last night before it came on) and my tummy is swollen and sore. This is not nice
You poor thing, it sounds awful. Don't worry about the exercise, you need rest to build your strength up. Have you got anyone that can pop in and give you some tlc.
Hope you start feeling better soon xx
Morning. Thanks everyone for your support. I don't feel too bad this morning. I actually feel hungry which is good (or bad maybe???). Cora seems a little more with it today. She has had 2 bottles of milk in the night and kept it down so that is a good sign. She is back trying to get DH's controllers for his games consoles from under the tv stand so she must be feeling better as she has not bothered with them all week (she drives me mad with that!!!!!!).
I just WI and I am PROUD to announce that I have fnally hitten my ultimate target!!!!!!!!! I am now 10 stone exactly I have not even been to the toilet yet (I normally wait until after that...) so that is great
7 months on WW - 32lbs gone and dropped from 12 stone 4 to 10 stone. I am now lighter than my wedding day, lighter than when I got pregnant with my first and even lighter than what I was when i was super fit and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I feel great. So proud of myself.
So here is to maintaining and keeping up the exercise
Thanks to everyone on minis for both inspiring me and supporting me along the way. I could never have done it without you all. MMMUUUAHHHHH!
