I might have to jump on the wagon with you girls!
Ive gained 8kg since I stopped BF 6 weeks ago and im shattered. Dont get me wrong....Im a big chicki anyway but 120kg is just to much for me to handle.
So enlighten me and help me find strength please girls. I dont want to take medication or have drastic surgery...they are short term fixes when really what i need to do is gain my healthy life style back. I need to find me again
thanks chickies

Welcome maz, I hope you find some good support here, it's been a little quiet of late!
Me - I lost 0.5 this week, so only 1.6 off pre-preg weight, but 3.6 to get to goal. It's going verrrrrrrrrry slowly! I'm averaging a loss of about 0.3 a week.

Well thought I had better stick my face in here.....
Bit about me - always been a bit tubby - done countless diets etc.... lowest I have been ever was 68kg - which I was happy with.
Was 74 when fell pregnant with DS - went up to 96 by the end of it. By the time he was 5 months old I was down to 68.
Let my diet slide a bit - fell pregnant with DD - was 73kg at the time.
By the time she was born I was back up to 96. So I was 89.4 on Sunday when I weighed myself, and I write my own diet plan based on the Calorie King's book.
So there you go!! I hope others will be in here as well!!!

Hi girls
I have decided its time to give it ago also. My bubs is 4 months now and in the first few months i lost weight but now i am putting it back on, I am breast feeding so i know i need to be careful on not doing anything to drastic. I have been really doing no exercise at all other than the odd walk so i know i need to start with that first. I have just been lazy, i live only 5 min walk from the beach and a fantastic walking path beside the ocean, the nicest part of town so there is no excuse really. So all i need is some motivation which i hope to get from here..

Hi Abb and LSK
Abb - I wish I had those walking paths near here!! There are no footpaths where I live, which makes walking with a pram very dangerous!!!! Think I may have to get my act together and go for a walk with the baby in a sling - when the toddler is at daycare.
LSK - I wish I only had 10kg to lose.. LOL
Motivation.. need motivation.... hmm.. now where did I put it... I know its around here somewhere..

Hi girls,
Thought I might come here for some motivation too. I have pretty steadily put on weight with each of my pg's, starting with about 8kg's with my first, about 5 with my 2nd, (though these pg's ended in m/c probably why I never lost the weight, stress!) 5 with the 3rd and 5 with the 4th. Which has brought me to my highest weight- 89kg post baby. I got up to about 98 with this pg (OMG!!!) and am now about 85kg. My lightest weight has been 65kg, so I've never been really slim, but I would love to get back there! I never knew how good it was, LOL!
So I have about 20kgs to lose, wow......it's a bit daunting when I put it down in writing....
I have been walking with the kids in the double pram, and pushing that (about 25kg with both kids in it!) around is challenging in my current unhealthy, unfit state! I also have to lug them up and down three flights of stairs to get anywhere since we live in a third floor unit. ANd have cut out chocolate and dairy for DS (he gets colicky when I eat it). So that has all contributed to losing a few kg's after only 5wks. I will have to take more notice of what I eat!
Anyway enough rambling!
