Well thought id start a diary mainly for myself but would love others to comment!!!

Abit about me..... Im 23 yrs old, have a 2 year old son and a 5mnth old son,
3 years ago i crept up to 14 st which for me was awful as i thought i was about 11!!! So i started the cwp for the very first time!!! In april2009 id reached goal of 11st (took just over 3mmths) took myself off the plan and started eating healthily(ish...) end of june i broke up with my bf of almost 2yrs (happy about this!!) and casually started seeing my now fiancè!!! By mid july i was pregnant!!!!! We'd been together a matter of weeks! Long story cut short ate like an absolute pig my entire pregnancy (guess coz i was food deprived early on in the year) im not 100% but think i was between 11.7-12st when i fell.... April 2010 my beautiful baby was born, At my 6 week post check i weighed in at 16st 2.
Lookin back at that first creep to 14st id give anything to have been back there then!!!
Tried lots of diets for the next year special k, cabbage soup and slimming world etc.... Id manage to lose about 3st after my son fallin pregnant with my second son just a year after the first!!!!!! At my 8week midwife check i weighed in at 13st 10, ate a lot healthier through my second pregnancy and gained weight a little slower, my healthy 8lb 14oz baby was born on feb 1st 2012, 6 week post baby i weighed in at 15st 9 (was quite happy id not exceeded the first baby weight!!!!!)

So here i am!! I started back on cwp on april 24th 2012 weighing 15st 6lbs. Size 18

Week 1 w.i 15st (-6lbs)
Week 2 w.i. 14st 9 (-5lbs)
Week 3 w.i. 14st 4 (-5lbs)
Week 4 w.i 14st 1 (-3lbs) awful week!
Week 5 w.i 13st 12 (-3lbs)
Week 6 w.i. 13st 10 (-2lbs) awful week!
week 7 w.i. 13st 7 (-3lbs) mostly a size 14 now

I start this diary 6 weeks in at 13st 10, 24lbs lighter!!! Waist is 9 inches smaller, hips 8 inches smaller. Size 14/16
Like a lot of mums i HATE my jelly belly, stretchmarks and the hanging apron! Im also desperate for weight off of my arms and my legs!

Id be lying if i said its been easy,,, far from it - im really struggling cookin my family meals and socialising with my friends/kids but.... people are noticing all the time now im loosing weight!!
Im doin this specific diet in secret, only my o.h and 2 friends know as the last time i done it i got soooo much ear ache!!!!

My journey is hard but so very worth it - cant wait to b happy again <3

Having a bloody hard day today!!! Starving, headaches etc!! My own fault for fallin off the wagon, hopefully back to feelin good by tomoro :) had my mango mousse for lunch - yum!!
 
Yeah ok.... Still not 100% commited :( couple mistakes but hopefully nothing that will take me out of ketosis... Im struggling to get back to being in thr zone!! I soooo bad wana b slim i know i do so y am i messin it up!!!!!
Hows about u? Xxx
 
Well today i felt tempted to snack (again!!!) so instead i put the kids up for a nap and done a 40 min workout - eliminated my desire for food and feel really good that i did something rather than look in and out the fridge 100 times!!! Pretty sure im back in ketosis now as feelin lots better :) weigh in thursday... Which not lookin forward to as weighed myself this mornin and only lost a pound since last thurs,
So im here wondering that as for the last 2 weigh ins my loss has only been 3lbs each time shall i go up to ss+ and have the small tea time meal.. Or will incl that meal make my loss even less?
 
Hi Littlemumma! My story is pretty much the same as yours, had 2 kids-size 8 when i fell with my first one, put on 3 stone. Size 10-12 when fell with my second 3 years later and went up to a 14. I'm now a size 18-20 weighing 16st :( My kids are older, I'm 28 and my kids are 11 (daughter) and 8 (son) so I have no excuse for baby belly anymore. I, like you REALLY want to be slim again but keep messing up! I have been on and off cwp since January and have only managed overall -7lbs :S

The thing is we are getting married in September and I NEED to lose weight and as much as possible. Our wedding was supposed to be last year but we had to postpone it due to our disabled daughter requiring major spinal surgery, I had already bought my dress and at the time was a small 14, hence the reason I need to lose weight asap! I have no idea how much I'll lose by September and I just know I'll have to buy another dress but so long as I'm not a size 20 bride I know I'll be happy. My weigh in is on a Thursday night so will let you know how I get on, look forward to taking this journey with you :) although you have had a few weeks on me haha xx
 
Well hun theres ur goal right there!!! U WILL b a girgeous skinny bride - wer hoping to get married next year and i refuse to be a fat bride, i just could not look back at my pics and feel awful about then (esp as 2 of my bridesmaids r a size 8 :( )
Its bloody tough isnt it - iv never been lucky enough to b a size 8 but i was happy at a 10-12 so i know u must b really pissed that ur a bit bigger now. I love my kids more than anythin but id give anythin to know what i now know so i could go back and start it over so i didnt eat like a pig.
Im starting to find it hard to stick to now - i just miss eating - not so much the bad food just eating in general! Im going away 2nd september for my birthday and i HAVE to b smaller but even though i want it soooo bad i still keep messing up!!
How far r u into the plan??? X
 
I have been on and off it since January and this Thursday will be my fresh start (again......:sign0007:) Aaaah I need a kick up the ar*e and to have my mouth sewn shut :( good luck for thursday hun xx

I need my mouth sewn also!! As when i cheat i dont eat coz im hungry i eat for the sake of it. I must open the fridge for a look at least 20 times a day! Have u thought of mayb just eating a bit better then re starting this like 6 weeks before your wedding?? As mayb ull stick to it better as u no ur running outs time???
Not holdin out mych hope for thurs / accordin toy scales lost a poxy pound!!!! X
 
I dunno claire i seem to have hit a brick wall... It always takes me so long to get through the 13s.... Its like my body wants to be here, god knows, think ill b lucky if 2lbs has come off.... X
 
Hi there :) lots of mummies on at the min, cant think of a better motivation and it is unbelievably hard sticking to it with lo's esp if your are like my lil girl and physically stuffing her food in your face lol. Fantastic weight losses so far and you'll soon be at your goal. X
 
Yes my son whos 2 likes to feed me some of his dinner and i try and say no bub its ur dinner mummy gets hers later... But its hard!!! And we've still got easter eggs in the house as we had so many.... Grrrr! Where im at home a lot its really hard - where the weather been crap weve been stuck in so much which is y iv found it especially hard this week :(
This support forum is ace tho :) x
 
oh my goodness how have you still got easter eggs? Food is a major deal for my LO, she spent 11 months of her life nil by mouth so she thinks we all should eat now she does which is hard when its her t time and not mine haha
