New Mummy - Trying to keep on SW track!!

[Laura_carlburgess]

I'm 5ft 7 and nearly 25. I had a chicken burger and about 5 chips. Not great but not too much x

I was 24 when I had my first too thou

That's not bad, I had about two spoonful of boiled rice, one chicken ball and spoon of s&s sauce, can't really guesstimate on chicken chow mein and some Mongolian spicy beef about two spoonfuls and 3 prawn crackers with one can of carlsburg. So on a whole not too bad. Would of had more chicken balls and egg fried rice and a shed load of prawn crackers when pregnant x

Not sure really....I have gone all the way down too 8/2lbs before but everybody saying I was too thin....is there such a thing??

Originally going to stick to 10stone, I will naturally get back to that without much work I think as that is my normal weight it seems (after Molly's birth, no dieting or exercising after 10 months I weighed myself and was 10/2lbs however I may go too 9 1/2 as prefer my clothes to feel as bit looser.

I'd love to see 8 something but like you 10 is my settled weight so hope ill be back there by Christmas if I can't get back to 9. Just want to enjoy summer and lose slowly so I keep it off. X

Aww Molly and Rosie, such lovely names your girls have x

Yeh I think once I have reached my settled weight of 10 I will stop cc and switch to proper sw and won't mind gradually loosing weight to get back to 9 1/2 or so as I won't be so restricting of calories and can eat more and still hopefully loose. If I did sw I bet I would only loose 1lb a week but I am inpatient and want moreeeeeee and fast as possible haha can't get into my pre pregnancy skinnies at the moment :'( boo!

Thanks you . Xx

Me either hun. I have virtually no will power and I have only a couple of dresses I fit in.

I'm finding it so hard to stick to a diet but my head wants it now and knows I can do it if I stick with it.

Hi all new mummy's! I have a 10 week old little boy and have started following sw again 3 weeks back when I started feeling more human. So far lost 11lbs! How is everyone else finding it with their little ones? I have quite regularly had little to no time to eat during the days but he is starting to keep himself happy playing for longer now which is helping me loads cant wait to be able to wear some of the clothes in my wardrobe I was a little over indulgent during pregnancy x

 

[Nikki<3]

Woo hoo lost 2lb today at weigh in. 9lb in a month :-D x

You said in your last msg that your head is finding it hard....well your doing something right well done you for your amazing loss.

I wonder if I will this week haha because I had that Chinese Fri night but was good sat and didn't have the leftovers had sw lasagne Chios and salad instead....whilst he was sitting right next to me going hmmmmmmmm this is lovely and munching on prawn crackers grr told him I hope he chokes on it heehee

Sunday thou went aunts and had a roast pork dinner. Naughty things I had was cabbage sauted in butter, stuffing, 1 small roastie, cauliflower cheese,gravy and a magnets and two bottles of beer. I tried to work it out in terns of kcals would say it was around 2000 for the day so technically not too bad if I was maintaining I would have around that so we shall see x

Hi and welcome

Ooh I think we have all over indulged during pregnancy....

Well done on the 11lbs. My daughter is 5 weeks I started a few weeks back but quickly realised like u have said that because of everything going on haven't got the time to eat so have been CC....plus I get a faster weight loss.

As of last Friday I had lost a total of 33lbs... 22baby weight straight after giving birth and 11lbs of over indulgence likely my weekly McDonalds.....among other things . Need to loose 11lbs to get back to pre pregnancy weight and then may go for another half stone.

How about you, what is your goal?? Xxx

 

[RB.1991]

I have another one 1stone 4lbs to get back to pre pregnancy weight but want to ideally get back below 12stone which I was before I started training with work which was 12 weeks of coffee breaks! So looking at overall 2stone ish. Just taking each day as it comes I have got Toby into a night time routine now so have more time to prep nice teas to look forward to! I really wish I had weighed myself to find out what I lost straight off would have been interesting I keep picking my little one up as he is up to 14lbs now and thinking ive not far off lost what you weigh!! You have done amazing in 5 weeks all I still wanted to do by then was snack on chocolate x

Hey ladies, I can't believe I didn't post news of my gorgeous baby Sam's arrival on this thread! lol! Anyway we'v had a few ups n down inc bein re-admitted 2 hospital 4 a week but we'r all good now

Sam is 3wks old 2day n I started back on plan last Wed wif exactly 1st 2 lose - amazingly I didn't actually gain all of that durin pregnancy, I only gained bout 9 or 10lb but picked up the xtra few lbs eattin hospital food (mostly WHITE toast!!! ) So my aim is 2 get back 2 my pre-pregnancy target weight of 8st7lb by xmas which as of last Wed was 16wks away, I reckon an average loss of 1lb per wk shud b achievable n even allows a wee margin 4 the odd inevitable slip-up!

Here's my boy....

Hope everybody n their wee bundles of joy r doin well! x

Thanx hun!

2day (Wed) is my WI day n I'm thrilled 2 report a loss of 7.5lb this week!!! :happy036: I realise that seems an awful lot but I'm assuming that a good portion of the 1st I'd "gained" was still fluid/swellin etc from the pregnancy n emergency C-section. I'm expectin it'll slow down considerably from now on but hopefully once I can start exercising properly again it shudn't take 2 long :cross:

PS: weekends r ALWAYS the hardest time 2 stick 2 plan! lol!

WOW!! That is amazing well done. Yeh likely to be and will slow down. I got a 6lb weight loss in just over a week when I started to diet.

So what does that leave you to loose now? Xx

Thanx hun! That leaves me wif 6.5lb 2 lose 2 get back 2 my pre-pregnancy weight of 8.5st, n since I said I'd like 2 b back 2 that my xmas I reckon I'v plenty of time!


Rosie's sleepin is fab as well by the way. I'm hopin it won't b THAT long b4 Sam can manage a decent stretch at nite but he's still only 3wks old n since we'v spend bout half that in hospital he hasn't reall had much chance 2 settle in2 a routine yet unfortunately
