I need to lose weight desperately. After uploading pics of myself after Christmas today and seeing some that others have posted on FB etc. it has really hit me how big I am and it is making me really unhappy.

I want to know what I can and can't do as far as feeding goes. That is my number one priority and I don't want to do anything to jeopordise that, BUT I need to do something.

How much exercise can I do? I would like to start going back to the gym once Izzy is at mums one day a week? Can I do normal classes/weights/jogging etc?? I am also walking with the pram once a day with the kids but I don't feel like I am doing much if that makes sense. For some reason it just feels like walking with the kids not exercise if that makes sense. I am also going to start doing my yoga/pilates dvds for toning.

As far as dieting goes, sorry to say that I have never been on one.... I've never had to really, but I need to lose at least 10kgs. My self- control is pretty bad and I tend to eat junk out of laziness etc. I often don't eat lunch because I forget and DH and I will get takeaway if we are both too tired to cook. I used to be able to do this and not worry about gaining weight but my age and 2 kids later means I can't do it anymore.

I know weightloss is a simple case of expend more than you take in but I think I need a little helping hand ladies. I've waffled here but any help would be appreciated.,

TIA
