Yeah, I'm quite happily sipping a can of diet coke instead. Si's not drinking either as he's trying to be good too.

I don't like that WW wine. Tastes like water!

i aint tasted it yet! i got it whilst shoppin 2day ( i cud of bought anything the codiene made me feel whoozy lol)

awww u got help u have lol breastfeedin meant to help u loose loads too?

awww hehe it was my mate thats doin her midwifery trainin that told me lol

I've read that about breastfeeding too.

Had such a naughty night. Went to a friends birthday party last night and he didn't have diet coke or any tonic water so was drinking vodka and full fat coke! Had a fantastic night but feeling guilty today. I only have 89 days to reign in my muffin top! Haha.

Back to the exercise DVDs this afternoon I think.

breastfeeding helps..... the reason is because it causes the tummy muscles to contract. This is why when some women are breastfeeding in the early days after birth they may find that they bleed more heavily during feeding times. This can then help the tummy to get back into shape following the birth. Creating breastmilk also uses up calories so if you have a healthy balanced diet while breastfeeding a lot of women slip back into shape fairly easily. I went down to a size 6-8 after both pregnancies during breastfeeding.... it was only the curse of the injection made me gain weight i am now trying to loose :(

blondmumma i stopped injection in noiv after bein on it 10 years u think i will drop weight cos of that now 2?

Hiya girls,

I started my diet last Sunday - not really following a programme but i'm using the phone app MyFitnessPal, which is just the good old fashioned way of counting calories. In my first week i have lost 4lbs!! Very pleased with that, so fingers crossed the rest of the weight comes off as easily. I have had 3 babies in 4 years so i've got about 2.5 stone to lose to get to my ideal weight of around 12 stone.

Good luck all xx

Yeah i know, must be mad eh? Thats my baby making days over now lol. Every time i started organising the wedding i got up the duff again! Nooooooo more babies for me!

Well i'm starting the dieting tomorrow, whilst i'm having my IVF Injections, thought that if I could get a little weight off then maybe the IVF will have a better chance of working, but tbh i'v eaten that much this weekend in preparation for starvation that I must have at least an extra 1/2 stone to lose before I feel as though i'm getting anywhere LOL x
Girls your willpower amazes me hope I can be as strong xx

They've told me I need to lose a little before they do the embryo transfer so got no choice hun, but I will be careful xx

awww cool hunx, if thats wat teh experts say! thought u shdunt be doin massive diet liek me tho ha ah

really miffed off this week, put half a pound on, well over past two weeks i put on 3 but lost some again.
Also my mil2b tried on my wedding dress. it is MEANT to be a size 16, sshe's a 14 and it doesnt do up on her.
Even with my op i am certain i wont be a size 12 in 18 months time, so i am gutted.

Everyone keeps telling me not to worry that after my op i will fit in the dress in time, but i havent been a size 12 since i was 12 years old.

trying not to reach for the ben n jerrys :(

howveer u mit eniot like ure dress after ure op cos u will have a different frame of mind on clothes mite want sexier x

mine was like 8 years ago- before the big boom for this op1 i was only on list for about 8 weeks max i remember1 we had different things before op, just see pyschologist had ultrasound and camera down! my mate had all them and had to do special milk diet or sumting 2 week before

Hi girls hope everybody is doing well with their diets I have decided to lose a 1 1/2 stone for my big day but got 2 years to do this just hope I can do as well as all you seem to be doing keeping the fingers crossed and the lips sealed lol xxx

So today I forced myself back to SW, put on 4lbs in 5weeks. That means need to lose the 4 to get back to target. My total loss stands at 3stone 2lbs xxx

O Janie don't be so hard on yourself hun, it's the person inside that matters & i'm sure you are lovely person.

Day 1 of my diet, gone ok, but prob cause i've been really busy at work and not had chance to get hungry. Think I might struggle 2moz cause day off. Think I might have a very early night to stop me from thinking about food LOL

Been to slimming world this week and lost 2lbs! Got my 1 and a half stone award! only half a stone away from target.

Mrsowen2b..... a loss is stil la loss regardless whether its 1lb or 10! The trick is to not let yourself feel deprived, dont feel guilty for having a treat and just get right back on plan. If you only loose 1/2 a lb, who cares? Its still a loss! I had a week where i gained 1lb, i thought back over the week i had just had and realised that i was happy with that small gain as it had been ever so worth it.... and then right back on plan and carry on.
I have nearly lost 2 stone (was 2lb away last week i find out tomorrow) and some weeks have been slower than others, i started in october.
Even if your loss is as you say, well then thats still only 1lb away from your half a stone isnt it? In 3 weeks thats pretty fab, so pretty much half a stone in a month and you have 17 months to go.... so even if you set yourself a goal that you are going to go dress shopping 12-15 months before the big day you should still be there at your stone loss target.
Think positive, my sw consultant recently said that the only difference between try and triumph was the umph and only those who give up are failures, until we give up we are still on the road to progress however long that road may be, only when we quit and give can anyone say that we have failed.... so pick yourself up, get back on plan and keep going.
Good luck and big hugs xx

Yep I agree. I am over the moon if I lose 1/2 lb...as it's still off AND it's a pack of lard!!!

I'm so glad all you ladies keep posting to remind me to post :D Another lb lost today... making it 2lbs in 4 days :)

i've lost 2lb this week :) just in the wrong way :( really not been well isn't the best way to loose wieght but suppose it's a good start to the diet :) would love to be the wieght i was b4 the babies haha never gonna happen :(

When I have an off day I compensate by eating loads more superfree like fruit and veg the next few days - as one member said when ppl were panicing about Christmas and Boxing Day, she said 'it's really only 2 meals out of 21 in the week, so as long as you stick to plan the rest of it you can do damage limitation' - obviously this isn't a go ahead to completely fall off the wagon but it should hopefully help you to see each day as a new start and not beat yourself up too much - instead of having chocolate keep some fat free Activia in the fridge, or fruit etc - and next time you want to eat some remember how guilty you feel and if it's really worth it!

Also if you've only just started SW you should be filling in your weekly logs for the first month, that way your leader can help you through it - mine sends me texts every couple of weeks to see how I'm doing!
