    I too am fed up of baby weight and want to get back to being a skinny dip instead of a chunky dunk!

    Ok I'm not brave enough for measurements but want to lose the 5 (eek) stone I put on with both pregnancies. Seeing as my youngest is now 2 and a half can't use the excuse of baby weight for much longer!

    I'm at SW and my next weigh in is Monday. xx

    Lovely sparkly new diary by the way x x

  • Hi

    Can I play too please, I can't bring myself to even measure my wobbly bits let alone record them for the world to see but I know that I am only 6lb from my highest ever weight so drastic action is needed.

    I would like to lose 2 stone over the year and need to get in training for doing the Moonwalk (charity marathon distance walk for anyone that hasn't heard of it) in May
    it will be a lot easier if I weigh less - believe me my knees will thank me

  • I will join, but can't find my tape measure at the moment. I am also trying to shed post-baby bulge and my youngest is coming up 2. I seem to have lost weight, but not size if that makes sense! I can't ever be bothered to do exercise DVDs though, although I do like doing twists on my twisting disc thing I bought.

  • Good luck everyone! I too still look pregnant and my baby is 11 months old :o There's more than just a belly and a bum to lose... there's the boobs, flabby arms, chunky legs, wobbly thighs... I don't know where to start.

    Can I join in pleeeassse! Not doing measurements but have a pair of jeans that I'll be happy when they fit comfortably (around a stone away I think). Hope to finish 2008 debt free and toned as I'll be hitting 40 early in 2009 - yikes!
    Just need to finish the Baileys and I'll get started...

    OMG Skinty, you just reminded me.

    I've got 2 bottles of Baileys to drink before I can re-start my diet :beer:
