Hey ladies, mind if I join?
I'm 27, 13 weeks pp after a c-section. My BMI was 25 when I fell pregnant, my highest ever. I did well during my pregnancy, ate okay and only put on 25lbs which was exactly how much I was advised was healthy. I lost all the baby weight fairly quickly as I had no appetite.
Unfortunately, at about 7 weeks pp I started to gain weight. I then thought "screw it" until January. I have started dieting a few times since then and nothing has stuck!
I'm forever making excuses. Too tired, too skint, too busy etc. And I now have an excuse not to exercise as its snowy now!
My BMI is 26.9 and I'm 10st9. I was 8st3 when I met my partner, so a good bit heavier! Realistic goal weight is around 9st, but I would like to go under 9.
I'm trying to do 10k steps a day, and will be signing up for a healthy eating plan like slimming world. Walking is the easiest and most realistic exercise goal for now as I can do it with the baby or dog and its free. I also have a 7 minute exercise plan which I'm going to try do every day.
So here I am -
Day 1-
Weight -149lb
Total loss - 0lb
Still to lose - 23lb
Food-
Breakfast - bagel with butter, skinny cappuccino sachet
Lunch - Thai butternut squash soup, tiny bit of dry bread (ate out)
Dinner - small amount of pasta in a sundried tomato sauce with added veggies and Quorn chicken.
Snacks - way too much chocolate and a huge avocado!
Safe to say I had a varied day!
