on the 30kg Kylie. That is an absolutely amazing weight loss. Well done!! I've heard about BMI affect your fertility which is why I'm trying to drop a few kilos. Do you know how to work out your BMI?
Charli'smumma - Good luck starting nursing studies next year . It is a great idea to do nursing first so you can learn about the human body before you learn the effects of pg on the body.
Hi guys, just wanted to wish you luck on your weight loss journeys!!!!! Just thought I would share my story... I was a little bit (just a smidge) chubby when fell preggers with DS - and gained about 22 kgs with him - which took me up to 96. After got home from the hospital I was about 89 - and then by the time he was 6 weeks old, was back up to 92. I devised my own diet plan - including menu plan (which included a bit of chocolate every day) and went down to 68.5 in about 5 months.
Of course I'm back up to the late 80's now, but got an excuse - pregnancy weight
So if anyone is interested in having a look at my menu plan, I'd be more than happy to share. Its based on a diet of 1200 cals a day, and I think I exercised for the first three weeks, and the weight kept dropping off!!!!! (I'm not one that loses weight easily either). As soon as this bub is out, I'll be going back onto the diet because its really easy to follow.
Sorry to crash your thread - but just wanted to share my story, and if I can help at all, just let me know!!!
Good luck to all of you!!!!
Hi Mel,
Never apologise for sharing such a fantastic story of weight loss. That is amazing that you lost all that weight. It's fantastic. If you don't mind I would love to have a look at your meal plan. It is my diet that I am struggling with. I really struggle with knowing what to eat and what not to and how much.
What kind of exercise did you do and how often?
TIA,
Dan
First of all Kyliekd, that is awesome, well done! And keep up the good work.
Mel, that is absolutely fantastic too! I would love to look at your meal plan. Thanks for sharing! I was a little similar to you. I was about 77 kilo's when I got married (still a bit chub but I was really fit and a comfortable size 12-14 which I was pretty happy with) but I got slack stopped excersizing and 2 years later I was up to about 90 which was what I weighed when I fell pregnant with Charli. I put on 13 kilo's during the preg and 2 weeks after having Charli I was back down to 90 but since i stopped b/feeding and started taking meds for PND I'm back up to 95. I really should get down to about 68 too but if i can at least get to 80 and also be fit again (just started exercising again) I'll be happy to start TTC then.
Dan, to work out your BMi, it's your weight in kilo's divided by (your height in meters squared)
EG: mine is 95kg divided by (1.67m x 1.67m)
therefore it's 95/2.7889 = a BMI of 34
And if i can get down to 80 kilo's it will put me down to a BMI of 28.5
Anyone who wants a copy of it is welcome to PM me their email addy and I'll forward the plan on to you. Its in Word format, so everyone should be able to open it :-)
No viruses I promise
