!!The Milky Mommy Weightloss Thread!!

[cleckner04]

I seem to do the same. I only lose like 2 weeks out of the month. Than the other 2 I stay the same or even gain a bit and end up angry and frustrated.

We have a little under two weeks before he's back. I've already hit my first and second goal that I wanted to hit before he got back. The main goal was to get back to pre-Emma weight. Than I changed it to 195. Now I'm at 193.6 and decided to stop making new goals before he's back. I would be so happy to get down to 190 before he's back though. That would be a 50 lb. loss since he left. Which would be amazing! Everyone keeps saying he will be so shocked when he sees me but I wasn't always fat so he knows what I look like at this weight too.

I definately think your hubby will be shocked when he sees you. Did you tell him you were losing weight or will it be a complete surprise that he isn't expecting?

 

[cleckner04]

I was originally going to make it a surprise but I am awful at keeping stuff secret from him. And 6.5 months of trying to lose weight and not telling him would've never happened. So he got to listen to me bitch and moan during the rough weeks just like you ladies did. Apparently he has lost about 15 lbs too. Which I'm not happy about because I love him squishy. But he has been lifting weights and trying to get a six pack again. Which he hasn't had in quite a few years. I like cuddling him when he's fluffier though.

OMG 50 pounds he will certainly be shocked hun! Bloody hell, has he seen you on web cam or anything?

 

[cleckner04]

He's seen me a few times on webcam but never a whole body shot IYKWIM. So it'll probably still be a bit of a surprise bc although I've told him I've lost almost 47 lbs, I don't think it really clicks in his head. Men don't understand that kind of thing. I'm not gonna beat myself up if I don't get to an even 50 but I am definitely going to try in the next 2 weeks.

[JellyBeann]

[JellyBeann]

Hey girls, even though I am still on my mission to lose weight I am no longer a milky mummy :'( My milk has dried up!

 

[AmeliePoulain]

Hello! Could I join please??

I lost 21lb in the month immediately after having Ivy but for 4.5 months after that I stayed exactly the same weight whether I was eating like a saint for weeks on end or stuffing my face with cake!

I don't really know what has changed (I am hoping she is finally sucking the fat out of me!) but in the past 3 weeks I have started to lose a little.

At the moment I am 135lb but I really really want to get down to 119lb ish (I will just fantasize about the 105lb I weighed when I got married) I am a proper shorty by the way, I am only 5'ft 1 so I have literally just got out of being overweight and into normal again.

 

[cleckner04]

Jellybeann- Oh hun! Stay around here if you want hun. We are happy to have you.

Amelie- Welcome!! :wave:

 

[CelticNiamh]

hello all I was down 1 and a half this week Im happy with that all going in the right direction yay!

hey any one have sneaky peaks at the scales during the week or just weigh once a week. I weighed my self tuesday morning and the scales said I had lost 7 pounds I got off and checked again! I just knew it had to be wrong! false loss or what ever as yesterday it was only a 1 and half loss LOL mind you losing 7 pounds in one go would seriously effect milk supply ooh Im driven want to see that weight gone for real now

Jellybeann dont feel ro bad you did great.

 

[JellyBeann]

I started eating oats pretty much 3 times a day, took some fenugreek, and I have enough milk for one feed a day!! I'm so happy!! We have bedtime booboos!!

Hi to all the new people

And this week I have stayed the same!!

 

[cleckner04]

CelticNiamh- I weigh myself twice a day. I don't obsess about it but I like to weigh myself at night so I know if I need to work out extra hard before bed. And than I weigh myself every morning. I feel like if I didn't do this, I wouldn't know if I needed to work harder in the week IYKWIM. Well done on the lb and half!!

JellyBeann- Yay!!! I'm glad you got a feed back. Have you figured out what caused the milk to start drying up like that?



I lost 0.6 lbs this week. Not much but I'll take it. I'm not doing too well this month. DH is back this week so I have other things on my mind. Once he's back I think I will get back on track because he said he'd take Emma so I can exercise and I'll start walking again too. I'm hoping to lose at least 8 more lbs before I go home to visit my family and friends in July.

 

[jms895]

I too weigh myself alot, wish I could resist doing it though

 

[JellyBeann]

I think it was my periods returning. That's the only reason I can think of!

 

[FsMummy]

hi all im at 226lb x

 

[JellyBeann]

I'm so happy I am under 11st, I haven't been under 11stone since before uni (2004)!! Since then I have been hovering around 11.5-12st and I really want to be 10stone!! I'm getting there slowly though!!

 

[HollySSmith]

Hey can I join? I'm still breastfeeding but only at night. I've been trying to lose the baby weight for the last two months but have only lost 6.5 lbs. When I started I weighed 181lbs, and was a size 12-14 (US). I now weigh 174.5 and I'm a size 10-12 now. My goal is to get down to 150lbs but I don't know how realistic that is. I think that would put me around a size 6.
Right now I watch what I eat and satisfy my sweet tooth with fruit. I try to walk around 15km a week and I recently started jogging. I also use my xbox kinect to do fitness classes. I honestly thought I would have lost more but for some reason it isn't happening...
I use MapMyRun app for the iPhone, does anyone else use it? I find it's a handy way to track my progress!

 

[jms895]

Well done Jellybeann!

Welcome Holly!

I lost 1 pound this week!
