Lilias I feel abit the same that I should just recover from J's birth and get this winter over and start again when things aren't so hectic but I'm a bridesmaid soon and I would love to look back at the photos and feel I looked nicer then I currently would. Thats my main motivation plus DH and my sex life has taken a nose dive and I know its because I don't like the feel of his hands on me and the feel of the wiggle and jiggle of my body. It completely turns me off. Its ridiculous that my size makes all the difference to my libido. Not the fact that I had a baby 10weeks ago. Its so hard. I hate how I did so well for a month and lost almost 6kilos only for it to ALL go back on in 1weeks. F you Fat rolls. Now I'm angry. Its not fair that it can go back on so fast when it doesn't come of that quick.
Hugs Mildez. We have a wedding in November I'd like to look good for too, I'm not a bridesmaid or anything, but I just don't want to look like this or struggle to find a nice dress to wear. And I hear you on the relationship stuff. I have never really been conscious of my body with DH until now. I found myself last night reaching for a towel when he walked in on me getting dressed after my shower. He doesn't show that he cares, though I know he doesn't appreciate physically me like he used to! I just feel like crap.
Try to be kind to your self hun, you really have just had a baby. 10 weeks is not a long time. Plus the old saying, 9 months on, 9 months off. Give your body time to heal and get back into shape from pregnancy and birth. It will take time. And it's better for your body for it all to happen slowly, then it's more likely to stay off!
Hugs to you both Mildez and Lilas - weightloss is a tough thing to conquer - I know how it goes, I've worn those shoes before too. I've been in the one step forward, two steps back routine too. And just like weight, we lose fitness soooo quickly too (but luckily gain that back relatively quickly!). If your head space is consumed with other stuff (and hey, a newborn and other health concerns can be very worthy of your thoughts too) then maybe just healthy eating and gentle walking just to lift your spirits might do the trick? Don't give up hope girls - no matter what your weight - you're still beautiful people, inside AND out!
Belfie - I totally recommend getting back to Les Mills - but I'm biased lol. Its the music that does it for me, and I know classes like Attack really give great results. Don't be afraid thinking you're not fit enough for it - I started out feeling big and slow with it only 3 weeks ago....now i'm feeling much lighter and athletic with each move. Or give RPM a shot perhaps? You could always manipulate the dial to suit how your feeling .
AFM - I am lucky enough for the next fortnight to have DH home in the evenings which allows me to exercise after my last meal. I find I lose much more weight by exercising late evening. It can be tiring, but I just think of the reason why I'm doing it and if that doesn't do it I just grin and bare it till the music takes over. I'm into the 65's now after a 700 gram loss overnight, but give or take how that'll even out when considering water weight, muscle gain etc by next weekend...Getting closer to that BMI goal I share with you Belfie .
