SILVASAVA how is your niece getting on?

Hi Peanut2013

After my first baby the weight did go without dieting. After the 2nd and third it took a bit longer and my bodyshape changed and didn't go back. After my 4th baby I had to diet and 11 years later still have to revert to a healthy eating regime every so often to keep the weight down. I do enjoy my food though.

peanut and polly, I had my 2 girls 5 years apart. After the 1st child I reverted back into my pre child birth clothes. Now after the second child totally different, tbh I never got back. Im a sort of happy 14/16 even 18 on a bad week. I have tried to loose the weight but the more I try the worse I feel, so this is me.

I agree that you can't defeat what nature has landed you with. I am descended from farming families on both sides and I need prodigious amounts of physical exercise to lose weight in that way. I did manage it when I walked 6-8 miles daily to take DD to nursery and back. I promptly got pregnant as I was fitter than ever. Previously, it was walking 2 miles to work and running all over the place, as a shop assistant from 9 -5.30 that got me super-fit to fall for DD. I've never reached those dizzy heights of fitness again...

It's a constant weighing up things. I could look at dieting, but we live off value ranges (which are quite high in fat).

Then there's the 'is there any point suffering to get fit again when we want another in 2-3 years' but at the same time in 2-3 years ill be wearing a white dress and I so want to be slimmer for it!! Lol.

Well that's if we can save enough to do it

I had to diet to lose the weight after my first and fourth. Hopefully with summer coming you can buy cheaper salads and vegetables so that might help supplement the value range of food?

You can grow salad leaves for pennies in the window sill.

Mrs L Your ESP must be working well! Had a phone call from her husband to say she's being discharged today. She's walking, albeit somewhat shuffly and the sight in her right eye is improving (coming & going) we're all so relieved that she's home with her family.

Thank you so much for asking

I'm still carrying my baby weight (8 years ago!) and then some. Lost 3lbs last week though just by 'working' and only getting to eat at lunch time till 7pm

Hello toughies. Just popped on to say hello. I can't catch up with you all right now but hope life is plodding along nicely for us. I can but hope.

The slow cooker is earning its place right now although we have been using special 'slow cooker' sachets and honestly... They are rank! I need to sit down over the weekend (I get bank holidays off wahoooo!) and think about it more.

Off I go train my doggie (he likes the attention and the treats so it doesn't matter he doesn't need training does it ) an then go research 3 year old activities. The room leader said to me today 'hear kids are so difficult to engage!' I take it as meaning "we need to make these activities more exciting for 3 year olds "

Have a lovely evening x
