Phillipo Berrio olive oil comes in a spray bottle too - though I shall certainly be decanting some olive oil into a frylite bottle too, to compare misting. The Berio seems more of a "squirt" than a mist, but I may just need to fiddle with it a bit.

I'm not sure they are "on" at the mo, I have them on disc so can watch on demand which is good

listen, there is no need to feel down about baby weights, you have a valid reason to have some extra weight, and im sure a gorgeous little bambino who is much mroe important.

Do NOT compare yourself to other Mums, look at Posh spice - back in her size 6s in how long? I mean, come on! At the end of the day, slowly and sensibly etc and you have a very young baby to look after, so hard as it is, try not to be hard on yourself. Your body has recently been through a big trauma (birth), so give yourself a break!

Are there any pram walking groups in your area? Could you start one? Even just a couple of friends?

Regards the tiredness, I sleep very badly and suffer badly with tiredness and know how easy it is to turn to caffiene - but I have limited myself to one coffee a day. I am finding by eating more nuts and seeds, dried fruits (dates, figs and cranberries) and smoothie for brekkie with oats , it is giving me a slight kick more energy than I had before. Have you tried smoothies? Filling and a good way of getting fruit in. I only like exotic expensive fruit like pineapple and dear stuff, so finding this helps me throw fruit down my neck. Also, there are some yummy juicy pears about at the mo.

Sadly its 10 months since I gave birth so not exactly that recent but I take on board your comments. I do try and fit in some walking but with a toddler in tow too it's not always that fast. I have a Wii fit but you know how it is by the time I have chance to use it its 9pm and I am shattered.
I think I will try your suggestion of eating dried fruits and nuts. Smoothies not so good at as if they have bits in them (from like strawberries etc) they make me gag (what a wuss ).
~Anyway enough looking at the negatives - positive thinking is the way forward

really pleased with my first meeting the focus was on real food and as a guy there had won a national award there was a bit of a party everybody brought a homemade dish along clearly marked with syns etc and recipes printed for people to take home

Very much felt like a family group

3rd day into the plan and happy so far had all green days so far but planning a fry up and roast dinner on friday got a chick pea and potato curry in the slowcooker will be having it with rice and cumin roasted butternut squash"chips"

My ermm digestive system has already shown signs of improvement too...i suffer terribly with cramps and bloating

mine wont mist either - just squirts!:rolleyes:

the olive oil out of the frylight bottle 'squirts' rather than mists but it must use far less olive oil that way rather than just tipping it out of a bottle

That's why I like the Lakeland sprayer - you pump it by depressing the lid and then you get a real spray of oil instead of a squirt!

Just bumping up this thread with my hint regarding the oil spray and clogging etc.

I have found that if you use 30% oil to 70% water it makes a much more appetising smell and tasting spray. I do use the old frylight bottle. It was frightening to see that white chemical mess going down the plug hole.

My version does not clog either. Just give a good shake before using.
