I'm the exact same weight as you! (most of the time) I find that I fluctuate a lot!
I have a bmi of 32 and I hate it. Even though the cut off for a water birth was a bmi of 35, they still wouldn't let me have one!
I just try to choose healthy wherever possible. If I can have fruit instead, I'll have fruit!
I do my weight every night, to tone my back and arms, and lunges to tone my legs, as they're my worst bits.
I walk instead of getting the bus.
I take stairs if possible (which with a buggy isn't always possible!

Good luck!!! x

Thanks hun I always take stairs as I'm terrified of lifts so beneficial in that way! I send my hubby in the lift if he's with me and we've got LO. Why wouldn't they let you have a water birth?! xx

Well done on your fabulous loss so far!!

I was 38.8, im now 25.7 (I think lol)

I've noticed my bmi doesnt really relect my fitness/overall health.
Once i get 25 im then focusing on my body fat
