A group of Mum's trying to get rid of their tums!

[brunettebimbo]

There is a few of us that have recently had babies who are wanting to lose some of our baby weight. I've made this thread so that we can all motivate each other, share recipes and weigh in together!

Wishing everyone luck

This is a great idea!

I've had a bad week this week and gained a pound so tomorrow I'm really getting too it. Sick of wearing the same things to cover up the jelly belly. I want to be in some nice clothes for the summer

 

[brunettebimbo]

Amy

I'm the same, sick of living in leggings and baggy jumpers!

I did the big food shop yesterday and bought lots of salad, veg and fruit. I've also done a meal plan so that I cook! I'm guilty of being busy and ending up with sandwiches!

What day do you weigh in?

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm guilty for snacking as well, I much prefer to snack than sit down to a proper meal but this week I am determined to change that!

What kind of meals are you thinking of cooking? I will sit down this evening when the kids are sleeping and make a meal plan.

Friday is usually my weigh in day. How about you?

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've done a list of about 21 meals because we try to shop every 3 weeks.

I've got the following on it -

*Chicken hash
*Burgers, chips and salad
*Kebab, pitta, chips and salad
*Sweet and sour chicken and rice
*Slow cooker beef and ale stew with mash and veg
*Slow cooker chicken in red wine with mash and veg
*Slow cooker sausage and bean casserole with mash and veg
*Rustic chicken with new potatoes and veg
*Garlic chicken with hasselback potatoes and veg
*Gammon, chips, frylight egg and beans
*Roast dinner
*Slow cooker pizza potatoes
*Ham fried rice
*Minced beef hash and veg
*Baked bean lasagne and salad
*Chicken stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon with piri piri potatoes and veg
*Stuffed jacket potatoes and salad
*Slow cooker lasagne soup
*Pizza topped chicken with southern fried wedges and salad
*Potato topped meat pie and veg
*Chilli and salt chicken, chips and salad.

Some sound unhealthy but the burgers, kebab, chips etc are homemade. I cook things differently, frylight etc.

I'm not dieting properly because I need mealtimes to be easy whilst I have a booby monster, I'm just going to cut back and make sure I eat decent meals.

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh those meals sound so good! I'd of never thought of meals like that off the top of my head, if you don't mind I'm going to pinch some of those

 

[brunettebimbo]

Of course not. We can share them I get bored so easily of the same things so I sat down had a nosey on my Facebook group "Slow Cookers Rock" and Pinterest!

What things are you thinking?

Forgot to reply before, I weigh on a Monday.

[Kailetski]

Not sure how often I'll check in but I'll probably lurk around. I lost about 20-25 pounds after having Kaiden and was losing 2 a day for a while but all of a sudden I've been gaining again, in one day I gained 5 pounds and I don't understand how, I've been eating decently and some days next to nothing so it really doesn't make sense.
Right now I'm sitting at what my weight stabilized at for years although right before getting pregnant I had gotten down another 15-20 so I still have a few pounds to go to hit prepregnancy weight I guess... After that I would still like to lose a lot, maybe anywhere from 20-50?
I try and weigh daily but lately I just don't seem to have the time to otherwise I gain uncontrollably, before I'd be weighing constantly through out the day to keep myself in check... I know it's bad but it's what has always worked for me.
I've been using myfitnesspal for probably a year and a half now which has helped in my weight loss considerably but once pregnant I got a bit too lenient towards the beginning and end when I was constantly starving but overall only gained about 30-40 pounds depending on my start weight...

 

[0203]

Checking In (but eating chocolate truffles ) got my food shop tomorrow, this week we see having

Meatballs and pasta
cod in cheese sauce mash and veg
steak, jacket potatoes and veg
Fishcakes and homemade Chips
pizza for Friday though!

Very interested in what pizza potatoes are!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Kailetski I bet you aren't really gaining that much each day. If I've been curious and got on the scales on a different day to Monday I can sometimes have gained 7lb! I think it depends on how much you eat and drink that day.

I've attached the pizza potatoes recipe. I'm adding leftover gammon, onions and peppers to mine and using light mozzarella.

 

[Carlyp1990]

Hi ladies
I'll join you just out of curiosity for yummy food ideas... good luck! If I lose a few pounds too while lurking then I won't complain but I don't know what I weigh to begin with xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Oh and we shop weekly on a friday so this week we have planned...

Minty lamb casserole
homemade lasagne
sizzling steak with rice and chips
steak pie, mash/chips veg and gravy
sausage mash veg and gravy

 

[brunettebimbo]

MMM minty lamb casserole sounds lovely!

I've just made a roast dinner for myself, Hubby, sister, her fiancé and Tristan. Was lovely.

What's everyone else had today?

I weighed myself for the first time after having Elijah and I had 17lb to lose to get to pre pregnancy weight, I've since lost 5lb so have 12lb left to go although I'll probably want to lose a little more.

My problem area is my belly, it just won't shrink! I can now get my jeans on and fasten them but have major muffin top! I've attached a picture

 

[Carlyp1990]

Kian that's me exactly! I just have this major jelly belly that overhangs lol.
We've had a crappy tea tonight, fishcakes chips and beans... and I've been snacking on loads of homemade flapjack that I made last night Xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Flapjack doesn't count when breastfeeding. It goes straight to your milk

I'm struggling with a sweet tooth at the moment. Every evening I want to eat chocolate cereal, biscuits, nutella on toast etc!

How are you all managing to drink enough? I am awful!!

 

[ab75]

My belly is flabby now too but just saw myself in the mirror and it is shrinking. Just not fast enough for me lol. Dh keeps telling me to stop stressing about it as Frazer is only 5 weeks old.
We had McDonald's after Singing Kettle and just had steak pie,mash and veg. Starting tomorrow I am going to be strict with myself. We eat healthy I just need to reduce portion sizes.
My jeans majorly push my belly up. It is disgusting xx

 

[ab75]

I don't drink enough either. Well not through the day. Usually have 3 or 4 pints of water every night. Planning to drink a pint after my cereal in the morning and every hour. Should stop me wanting to eat too. I also clean my teeth a couple of times throughout the day, don't want to eat then xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

I probably drink 1 pint of sugarfree cordial in the day and one through the night. I have a few decaf teas throughout the day but that's it! I am awful! I think I'm going to get a phone app to remind me!

 

[Mummy to be x]

All these meal ideas sound so good!!!

I'm good at drinking water, especially since having my urine infection I drink about 7 glasses a day, I also find drinking out of a water bottle makes it a bit easier.
