    Another 2lbs lost from me - Its DS2's 1st birthday next week and I would really like to be 11st 13lbs as then i am exactly 1 stone less than I was when I got pregnant! And i want to look totally gorgeous in all the pics of course.........

    Out for a curry tonight as its DD's 10th Birthday so no lunch for me. Part of me feels like I am not losing it quickly enough but I know i have to keep going - I will get there!!!

    Out jogging twice last week too which is amazing for me!!!

    I do feel like I am running out of Breastmilk though, does anyone else feel that while dieting?

    The Wii Fit says I've dropped 4lbs this week.

    I'm not surprised - I don't have time to eat and the monster is draining me several times a day. Still have the mum tum and muffin top though.

    Also, if the internet is right and I have to wait four more weeks to have sex, I'm probably going to accidentally kill Husband the first time we manage it. I am seriously suffering here.

    4lbs is great!!! My youngest is nearly 1 and whenever i sit down i get so depressed at my mum tum. I seriously wonder if it will EVER go.......:confused:

    How old is yr baby? Did you have a section is that why you have to wait? I have had 3 sections and each time was told whenever i feel ready.....

    The monster's two and a half weeks old, and was born by C-section after 12 hours of labour, so I managed to get the worst of both worlds :o

    The Wii Fit is fantastic, I'm able to use it while she's sleeping and it has exercises I can do even while not overdoing it.

    I know what you mean, my eldest was born after a long labour and an emergency section - not fun at all! I can't even believe you're managing the Wii fit?! I think i was still pretty laid up not even 3 weeks in?!

    I also love my Wii Fit! It's 6 weeks since my c-section and I'm only just doing the abs exercises, but I've been doing other stuff for 26 days (so it told me tonight!). I'm def more toned, but haven't lost a lb since the initial weightloss of just over a stone. I've got about 10lb to go to reach my 'interim' weight and then would like to lose another 1/2 stone.

    Off to SW for me next week (after my best friend's wedding on bank hol Monday) so hopefully I'll get better results once I've got the structure of a class.

    I'm breastfeeding, eating sensibly and exercising, so am not sure what's going on. I decided to measure myself and am at least losing inches, but it's not the same as the numbers getting smaller on the scales!!

    I'm not doing anything that involves the abs, but I'm happy enough with the balance and gentle aerobic stuff.

    And thank you :)

  • Thought I would pop in and say hi. I'm not doing much posting as I don't have a huge amount to add at the moment, except well done and keep it up! I am trying to moniter what I'm eating, but I've given up on the actual losing weight while I'm pregnant,it's on hold until April! However, I am continuing to lurk in the meantime...
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
