    Good luck! I'm sure when I ever get pregnant, it'll be the best excuse for me to just eat and eat so I need to try and get in shape now before I do, lol!

    Proud to be dealing with our debts:p
    Lightbulb moment - September 2006.
    Got organised, got a joint account, stopped overspending.
    Debt free date: December 2009 - we can do it!

    It doesn't seem to make any difference - I lost weight during my pregnancy and still look like the back end of a very saggy bus. :o

    I was a stone lighter than pre pregnancy the day I gave birth. Maybe I should do it more often :rotfl:

    Evening all,

    I am very proud of myself, have been on my exercise bike 4 days out of the last 5, have gone from 3 miles a day up to 5 miles and am currently on the slimfast diet, well drinking a shake for breakfast and lunch and normal tea, drinking loadsa water and have barely snaked at all although there was kettle chips left over at work yesterday after a lunch a customer had so i HAD to have some as i love them and had a bit of Stollen cake today.

    The slimfast thing is good because i love milkshakes anyway so i am finding it really easy!

    Dinner tonight will be fish and vegetables probably, losing weight is becoming as addictive as MSE :rotfl:

    Can I join in too please? I started on Sunday so my weigh day is Sunday. So far I have been good with food and been on my Lateral Thigh Trainer everyday (ok it's only been for 8 mins at a time :rolleyes: as it's all I can manage but I'm getting there;) ). My target to lose is 1 stone.

    Good luck everyone:D

    I've been on the exercise bike again tonight. I managed 30 minutes again, 11.4 miles and 416 calories :T

    Now I need to stop me legs shaking so I can go to bed :rotfl:

    Good news, DH managed to temporarily fix the cross trainer. YAY. The bad news is I only managed 12 minutes on the cross trainer today. I was wheezing and my heart was racing, so I didn't want to push it. I think maybe I'm coming down with something because I'm freezing but I've got a temperature :(
    Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow as I really want to make it to the 20 minute mark.

  • I didn't do the whole of my DVD today.. but I did do the trunk bit so surely I should get some brownie points for that.. :rotfl:
