    Like Onyx said - there is no quick fix, so think of it as a lifestyle change - not just a weight loss venture IYKWIM?

    I lost 36kgs in 5 mths after baby number 2, then 16kgs in 3.5mths after baby number 3. Though I am a personal trainer, I just did one hour of vigorous exercise daily - no rest days, and limited and counted my calories - no more than 1200 daily (and I didn't eat back the calories burn't during exercise either as I just couldn't fit them in).

    Now I just maintain my weight by eating sensibly and exercising um, when I feel like it .

    Find my group Fat Chic Slim on FB (if you're on FB that is!).

    P.S - You CAN do it!

    There is no magic fix and trying to fit in exercise around kids would be hard.

    I've lost 3 1/2 kgs in the last 3 weeks, I've slightly modified my diet (higher protein, minimal carbs but still having treats - just smaller ones) and I do yoga. The gym was boring me and after a week on a retreat with our own personal yoga instructor (twice daily yoga if we wished, more if we wanted to go to the classes at the yoga sala at the place we were staying), I've gotten into yoga, I prefer the way it makes my body feel.

    I'm not expecting to drop drastic amounts of weight, don't want to, just want to get my body toned and the weight loss is a side-effect of that.
