I prefer to think of mine as a baby belly, rather than a beer belly. The fact that I had it long before I had the kids is neither here nor there

Oh I like that makes it sound much prettier - my eldest is 20 :eek: but my youngest is 5 :rolleyes: and two in between 15 and 13. Omg my muscles tone has no hope and my elastisity must have gone by now!!!

I really panicked the other day, felt a big lump in my side that I've never felt before.

I made DH have a feel, and was hysterical laughing, it was apparently a muscle :rotfl:

Think I might have to join you all in this challenge!

Something happened - my size 12 jeans are painful! I didn't think I had behaved soooo badly this month but my clothes belie me. For New Years Eve am having to resort to stretchy and not particularly sexy dress although new BF :T (eek, does 4 dates and 3 stay overs this month count as a BF? He is terribly keen and lovely tho!!) - thinks its all good.

If I can kill 2 stone (at 5'1" trust me that makes for some excess plumpness!) and debt in 2008 then would be most wicked - will start after New Years Day inevitable hungover greasy fry up!

Hi - not been on here in a long time (got a 7 month old son, where did my life go to :rotfl: ).

I would love to join you guys with this one. My maternity leave finishes in Feb, and i would love to lose some weight before i return to work. I have been losing and gaining the same half stone for the past 5 months, and need to get back on track - please all feel free to give me a kick up the butt!!!!!

I also need to get our money back on track. We have managed to start silly spending again, especially on alcohol and junk food. But with the New Year res to lose weight, and improve our eating habits before ds is old enough to work out what we are eating i am hoping this will help reign in the spending so we can get back on track to clearing the debts when i start earning again (been on SMP for 9 months :eek: )

Good luck everyone. (I hope to read this thread in full later when ds is in bed - and peace descends once again :rotfl: )

I weighed myself this morning and i weigh 4 pounds more than i thought i did when i agreed to join last night! :eek:

No wonder my clothes are getting tighter.

Sadly though today i have had Doritos, a McChicken Sandwich and 5 Quality Street, not exactly healthy!

Oh...raiding it off your parents...do they buy it for people who remember the Empire..?

I wanna lose about 11lbs, had to put it on for my operation in August but it won't shift off again like they promised!

You believed a doctor when they talked about weight?! In a doctor's world, losing weight is always easy. Even if they are holding on to a lot for "balance" reasons... :rotfl:

Can I come and play - although can I confess that I am still pregnant at the moment (6 months)

Good news is that I still weigh 6lbs less than when I conceived (SW help there - thanks girls)

Bad news. ExOH parents coming over from South Africa to visit my first wee boy in Aug (8th birthday and their retirement). Really want to be a cool n calm yummy mummy when they arrive (not a pining hopelessley after their little prince one - LOL) New DS is not his BTW!!!

Love to be 1.5 stone lighter by Aug - then only the same to my true target weight
