I've just be brave enough to weigh myself ....
And OMG I still have 1 stone to lose to get back to my pre preg weight! Can't believe it as I only put on 2 stone during my pregnancy which I thought was pretty good *sigh*. I know I have a jelly belly that needs to go but didn't think I had put weight on anywhere else, can't believe the whole stone of excess weight is on my jelly belly!
Really glad I hadn't bothered getting the case out with my old jeans in it as I think that would have been even more depressing.
Time to put the biscuit tin down I think and start eating a bit better, not so easy with a newborn though is it?!
Well,my aim is to be back to my pre preg weight by the 16th March when we are going back to the UK to see family etc and baptise Brendan. Do you think I am being realistic or just kididng myself?! :roll:
I put on Davina power of 3 DVD today and managed all of 10 minutes before feeling absolutely exhausted!!

Not sure you should be doing much exercise until after your 6wk check though - you dont want to do yourself a damage (crikey I sound like a mum!)
Take it easy - I'm sure the weight will come off before you come back over here.

i been told not to do too much but i know when ive done too much and will stop andenjoy rest and cuddles with ryan. i have got the vicky binns dvd tho cos she looks brill!
a stone seems doable in that time just do it slowly and steadily! take it easy as much as ya can though!

I know I am not eating enough - seem to have completely lost my appetite since starting diet - but am making sure what I do have is healthy, so fruit & veg juices and soya milk and fruit smoothies and then a chicken breast and veg for main meal - boring but easy with hubby's new George Foreman mega huge lean mean machine thing - I love it!!!!
Just need to get exercising as my belly after 3 children is now quite an odd shape and it was so, so flat before I met hubby...but then I was addicted to exercise, red bull and diet pills and that's not really a good thing - would rather carry a bit of extra weight and be healthy for kids.
Just dont go mad and you should be fine - am sure your tummy will go down pretty quickly.

Is the Vicky Binns dvd any good? I think home exercise is do-able! Not one for gyms, running etc. Like riding (horses!) but can't do that yet! And swimming, but not with this belly or these boobs!
Even managed to get a shower before lunchtime today which was a real achievement!! Nearly even got outside with the pram for a walk but not quite!! lol!
Think I will do the odd ten minutes of Davinas DVD just to try and build my fitness back up and avoid any of the serious stretches!!

I need to do something about exercising - I did 20 mins of a dvd yesterday but the bloody dogs kept getting in the way and the great dane tried to join in!
Emalenna - yep I def think an hour in Tesco with two little ones is classed as a work out!! You are braver than me!

Snow'd be fab, better than howling wind and driving rain - not sure I'd cope with the minus temp tho!
I'm not weighing myself... I might once all the chocolate is eaten though!! Just trying to get out for a walk each day but not so easy when its raining horribly!!
Ps... I always do the shopping without hubby - I can buy loads more stuff that way - and neither of the kids are going to tell on me... yet!! lol
I refuse to get on the scales and see what I weigh mind you I don't know what I was pre pregancy but I have lost weight from some areas and put it all on my jelly belly! Im just about back into my normal clothes but think thats down to breast feeding.
I can't wait for the better weather to come in so we can get out for walks and things with our babys, do you notice how many people stare into the pram when your out? I personally love it and could spend all day talking about Holly Im finding it very strange how much some of my views and thoughts have changed since becoming a mum, does anyone else feel like that?
Also i'm starting to think that whole b/f weight loss thing is a myth - i hate to think how fat i'd be if i wss bottle feeding!
Amy is 4 weeks old tomorrow and I really thought (madness I know!) that I might start getting in to my normal clothes by now. I can get them on but there is no way I can do them up! I haven't weighed myself for over a week now and can't face getting on the scales. My jelly belly is gross!
Why is it that we feel under so much pressure to get back to our pre-pg shapes/weight.
I agree that my views and thoughts have changed too, I'm far less tolerant of old people and their shopping trolleys!
