10kg to lose, anyone want to join me?

[organicem]

Kaz- i know what you mean about the cold. Have found shopping centres with covered car parks are good for rainy days (except that DD1 runs away from me).


Didn't get to dancing class last night as DH has decided he can only take care of girls if DD2 doesn't cry

I took 12 months to lose all but 5kg after having DD1 (I had put on 30kg) and then I got pregnant immediately so have a feeling I will have trouble with the last 5kg this time too!! Even though I lost the first 10kg easily this time.

Have discovered Mission wraps (am sure there are plenty of other brands too) which I am using in replace of bread. I find I get too hungry if I have no starchy carbs when b'feeding and this way I can fill them up with meat and salad (or leftovers...looking forward to trying this).

[~Kaz~]

mmm...the wraps sound healthy and delish!! Are they like mountain bread at all? How do you b'feed and not eat carbs??? Sounds impossible. How are you going with the five small meals a day so far?

I think the last 5kg is always the most stubborn!

I went for a walk today but it was only a quick one. Should be within my points for today too.

It is impossible, for me anyway. I tried to cut them out last time andlast two days i have since figured its probably not exactly a healthy thing to try.

Will end up with having 3 small ,eals, one large and a snack by end of today.

Dinner is Chicken Tikka Masala: i use chicken bok choy, onion and capsisum. Cook with almost whole jar of sharwoods curry paste and add remainder of jar 5 mins before serving. I cook it with cream or just with water if trying to aviod greasy or fatty foods. ATM am not avioding fats though.

count me in i need to lose 45kg but 10 kg is a great start for me

[Inertia]

Can I join in now I have had my bubba? I want to get to about 65kgs and am currently 81kgs (I honestly have no idea where I am hiding about 15 of them.. I don't *look* too 'overweight' and apparently 60kgs is ideal for my height and build).

Hopefully the bfing will help but I will be doing it mainly through exercise because I don't want to risk my milk supply with anything too restrictive food wise. Gonna hit the wiifit and active hard tomorrow now my lochia rubra is over too.

So - target is 16kgs! Method is exercise!

Hi Inertia

How are the rest of you going?

[Ahurani]

Can I join too? No baby, just fat :S

[Tish]

Hi guys,

Do you mind if I join in? I've got 5kg to lose after having DS 8 months ago (I've lost 7 already, but a bit stuck now). I go to the gym once a week and don't have time to exercise apart from that due to work. I've been doing 1 set of 15 pushups a day just to do something..... LOL

I'm stuck doing a lot of comfort eating at the moment too.

Re chocolate cravings - I have been trying to have either 80% cocoa chocolate, which is REALLY hard to OD on, or a hot chocolate made with cocoa, half tsp of sugar and low fat milk.

I'm trying hard to avoid buying bad stuff - and have told DH no more buying me icecream (it's so sweet that he does though!!!!!)

GL everyone.

Can I join ya girls???

Last weigh in was when DS was 6 weeks, at 84kg. We're now three weeks later and I've no idea what I weigh as I don't own scales....Is it cool if I just measure myself? (It's easier to see results in losing cm's than kg's ). I have a stubborn mummy tummy to boot!!!!! Grrr.

I eat weetbix for breakfast, soup or a tuna salad sandwich for lunch and usually steamed vegies and baked fish for dinner and a single tub of light yoghurt for desert...I drink water alot....I would have to say my weakness is for the ocassional alcoholic beverage (with 2 under 2 do ya blame me ), and not making the best food selections when dining out at restruants.

I do RPM about 5 times a week and Body Pump once a week.

I am losing weight in the face, legs and arms but my belly just won't shift! I'm a personal trainer and a fitness instructor and have vowed not to go back and instruct again till I look the part!!
