Updated front post!!

jms welcome!! :wave: I put your start weight at 13 stone 12..But you said you might be 13 stone. If you could weigh yourself soon to know what you are exactly I can change it. I just think it's best to start with an exact weight so you know what you're working with. And do you want me to put the goal weight at 12 stone or 11 and a half? I put it at 12 for now. (in pounds though because I only work with pounds personally so it's easier for me to update)

im breastfeeding and trying to lose weight too. im 17st atm, target is 10st so 7 to lose. diet literally only started a week ago and i cant exercise much because i had a csection 2 weeks ago

I think you have the youngest baby on here trying to lose weight.

Good Luck with your journey just make sure you go at it really slowly because with such a tiny one your body needs its calories to just keep up.

Congrats on your little man you must be one busy mama

hi, no need to worry, atm i am just making small changes like cutting out the crap foods in my diet, cutting out tea (as i have 3 sugars lol) and drinking more water. bfing my little man properly is my first priority

May I join please?

I can't seem to lose the weight. I've tried everything. And if I do drop weight, my milk drops. Significantly. When I gain weight, it goes back to normal. So I need help!

I know it's not weigh in day yet but I weighed myself today n I'm now 148!!!!! So shocked as I've eaten tons of carbs n meat this week! And I can now do 50 sit-ups without wanting to hurl everywhere- bonus!

 

[cleckner04]

Nicole- Hey hun!! I need your stats and I'll add you to the front post. Welcome!!

jms- Updated your stats than!! 28 pounds should be easy to lose! I wish I only had 28 to lose.

flora- I really need to start doing sit ups!! How do you do them? Do you tuck your feet under the edge of the couch or something to keep your feet down? I want to be able to do sit ups and watch tv at the same time. Aren't sit ups really bad for our backs? I thought we were meant to do crunches not sit ups.

 

[Nicoleoleole]

My start weight is 178lbs and I hope to be 140lbs

 

[cleckner04]

Added you!

Weigh in tomorrow morning girls!! Here's to a good weigh in for us all!!

 

[jms895]

Thanks cleckner, 28 is not loads but hard for me as I really am a greedy piggy!

I have been swimming with little man today, not managed loads of swim (cos I have Caine) but kept active and we went up and down the flume loads! I have eaten cereal, grapes, banana, yoghurt and a jacket and beans with a little cheese. Just about to have sausage chips and beans but I wont have tonnes! Rock and roll class Monday morning and I will go for a walk tomorrow

 

[florabean1981]

Yeah I do crunches, not full sit ups; I think my tail bone would die if I did full ones! I do 10 crunches in 5 positions- got them off you tube!

 

[cleckner04]

Ooo I'll have to check out youtube in a bit! Maybe I can add in some crunches every day to my routine!

 

[florabean1981]

There's some beginner core stability exercises on there that they recommend post pregancy n sorts on there. I'm gonna be brave soon n start some cardio! Maybe....

 

[cleckner04]

Your doing better than me and you aren't even doing cardio?! I officially hate you.


Emma won't nap today. Guess it'll be another midnight cardio session for me tonight. AHH! Sometimes, I just cannot wait for DH to be home so he can take her while I workout every day. It'll be the best thing ever. Is it sad I want him home so I can ditch Emma for an hour a day?

 

[florabean1981]

I've got brittle asthma so I have to be careful with cardio stuff; part of the reason I chose to quit gym n compete trampolining back in the day coz the routines were shorter n didn't make me have attacks n turn blue!

 

[RedRose]

Down 3lb for me I guess this is two weeks' loss and last week the gain was AF related.


Good luck milky mummies!

Oh I like to do Zumba videos from YouTube. I've made a 30 minute playlist of them. It's easy and fun.

 

[jms895]

Yay well done RedRose!

I got weighed at docs this morning bit less... but waiting for Monday for weigh in.

MUST STOP GOING ON SCALES EVERY DAY

I tried quitting that obsession. It doesn't work.

I'm the same as last week...174. I'm just happy I didn't gain, as I had a horrible week for working out. And I ate a huge dinner last night, as I was out with friends. I definitely over-indulged. I'm just glad that over indulgence didn't show up on the scales this morning.

 

[jms895]

well your back on track now hun xx

 

[cleckner04]

I'm down 2.4 lbs. this week!!! Which, really is just 2 lbs in 2 weeks because I was up .4 last week.

Redrose- Well done! 3 lbs is awesome!!

I need to look up more videos on youtube! I wanted to try zumba too. I keep looking at their workout dvds on amazon. I might just buy one and try it.

I also cannot stop weighing myself every day. For me, if I start showing a gain than I know I need to ramp up my exercise or slow down with the food. I could never go an entire week in between because what if I gained a ton because I didn't realize I was gaining? Does that make sense?

 

[curlykate]

It makes total sense to me!
I don't want to step on the scale on Friday and have a huge gain without expecting it!
