How to lose the baby weight
It made me
 How I did it: It took months for me to get back to my pre-pregnancy size 8 (UK sizes) and now my son is 14 months old I've lost more and am now a size 6. I did everything very slowly and when my baby was 5 months old I was happy with my curvy size 10 body and didn't want to lose anymore. I got to that weight by low carbing as didn't have much free time to exersise so that helped a lot. 1 week I lost 7lbs! I lost the rest of the weight when I went back to work as parts of my job are quite physically demanding, so although I wasn't planning on losing anymore weight I dropped a further 2 dress sizes without trying. I guess this proves that exersise is the best way to go when trying to lose weight. Although having enough time when you hae a new baby is really difficult.

How I did it: I was overweight when I got pregnant and then gained 70 lbs. I was HUGE! But, after I had the baby I just focused on taking good care of him and eating healthy. Since my baby has a dairy allergy I had to cut out dairy. I think that probably helped. And, probably the biggest thing is that I am still breastfeeding and he is 11 months old. I don't really think too much about food, don't deprive myself at a… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I ate the same pretty much.However,I tried to listen to my body.Am I really hungry?Am I too emotional right now to eat?Do I really want to eat this?I measured myself once outside of the doc's office.The number is not important so I did not give it priority.Why obsess?

How I did it: I had a really difficult birthing, so I couldn't do any exercise (including walking) for a few weeks afterward. When I got the ok from my midwife, I went to the gym every day for a while. That was at least as good for my mind as for my body. But I went less and less often (it would've been good to keep going, obviously, but that's another matter) when I realized the weight was coming off on its own, by just leadin… Read how I did it…

I hadnt weighed myself in a couple of weeks, and the other night found out I am now 8st 2lbs. Cant believe how much seems to have dropped off. I was only aiming to get down to 8st anyway – but then admittedly I have no idea what I did weigh before getting pregnant. I think it may have been more around 7 1/2 st because although I can get into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes, some of them are a little tight in places they didnt use to be!
I am slightly gutted about the impact of pregnancy and breast feeding on my boobs though. They have definitely lost their pertness and its clear that they are heading to saggyville :o( It cant be helped and it wont put me off trying for number 3, but I will miss what I used to have.

Okay, people I have just indulged in a ton of halloween candy and so now it is official. Time to lose the baby fat. My goal is to be 20 lbs lighter by Christmas. Wish me luck

Ok, ill admit. I havent been on here in a while. Ive lost track of what I was doing. I’ve slacked off quite a bit and havent lost any weight. I cant keep doing this. I need to get myself and my body back. I want to be a role model for my kids and my husband. I dont want to be looked at as the person who just “let myself go”. I need to start working on this again!

I know I said I wouldn’t be dieting, but I am now watching what I’m eating closer. I’m trying to follow portion sizes based on the packaging (ex. 2 oz of whole wheat pasta or 3/4 cup of Cocoa Puffs). Hopefully this will help.

Back on the to do list!

After Willow was born I was a little over 9 stone, with just a little exercise and no dieting I am now down to 8 st 6 lbs, which is actually lighter than I was going to try and get whilst breastfeeding – however, if the weight is slowly coming off me, Im not going to complain or try and stop it! There might even be a chance that by Christmas Ill be down to by 8st goal, will have to wait and see.
So for now Im not going to actively try and lose weight, but Im going to keep active and try not to eat too much crap (although a little is allowed and Im not giving anything up!) Ultimately my goal is to get down to 8st and see how that feels and whether it allows me to slip back into my pre-mummy-days clothing!

Yesterday I ate healthy. No fast food, no junk food, no soda. I feel better already. I hope Im on the right track and can lose this weight. I am going to try to get out and excersize today. It’s going to be difficult with the kids, but maybe for today I’ll just stick with a simple walk. It’s better than sitting home and not doing anything.

Starting Today...
1 month ago
Im cutting out all the junk food (chips, candy, soda, etc). Im going to limit what I eat. No more binging when Im upset, angry, depressed, etc. I will start drinking more water so I dont need to feel like I am hungry all the time. I am going to start working out at least every other day for 30 minutes. And if I dont like it, or Im too tired, Im going to suck it up and do it anyway, because I NEED TO! I need to feel like Im attractive again, be a role model for my kids instead of being overweight, and be sexy for my husband of course!!
Im On A Mission :)
