Mummypigs Diary.

Hi guys!

Thought I'd start a diary for myself so I can ramble on about how I feel and whats going on. I'll post a quick summary of my weigh gain/loss rollercoaster so far and a start photo (if I can figure out how!)

Right so I am Kitty. I'm 28 years old and I have 4 children.
Before I had children I was a 10-12, I always thought in my teenage years I was huge, but looking back I was such a skinny thing!

I got pregnant with my first child at 19, he was a big baby (9lbs at birth) and although I didn't put on a massive amount my tummy was huge and stretched (i got alot of stretch marks).

When my son was only 9 months old and I hadn't lost my original baby weight, I got pregnant again. so soon after I had an 18 month old and a new born.

I got married at this point to my boyfriend, I'd been with him since 15 (and we are still happily married) I was 11 stone at my wedding.

During my next 2 pregnancies I gained alot, ending up at 14 stone in 2011.

Btween 2012 and the beginning of 2013 I lost 2 stone and got to 12 stone,

but after a massive stall at 12 stone and being unable to get below that after going to the gym I blew it big time, and gained a stone!! :sigh:

So here I am,

2 weeks ago I started s&s at 13 stone 3lbs, and have lost 8.5 lbs in 2 weeks.

I'm trying so hard to stay focused, and i really feel positive.

My husband and I are having a rare 2 days away together, child free, in November so this is my motivation!

So here's me, now at 12 stone 8.5lbs. I'm hoping to get to at least 11 before I go away in 9 weeks, so another stone and a half

Just over 2 weeks now. Lost 0.5lb since yesterday morning, I really need to get the scales hidden, the temptation of daily weigh in is too much.

Realised I have 8 weeks now until I go away, well 9 weeks, but I plan to quit s&s a week before I go.

8 weeks, If I could loose 2 stone I would be over the moon.

It just seems like such a long time to do this, funny because I'm not struggling at all day to day and I can't see myself giving up or eating something I shouldn't, but the thought of doing this for 8 weeks is a bit overwhelming.

Take it day by day and week by week.

Another thing is BMI, obviously I'm over weight now, but at my height 5'5 if I got down to 10.7st then id only just be out of the over weight category, if I were 5'4 I would be classed as overweight. That seems like madness to me!

Gonna go get my milkshake, tummys rumbling!
