    Default Just Started Diet...

    Hi guys,

    I had a baby back in August (Lily-Rose), and I put 5 stone on in my pregnancy!!!! I lost the grand total of 1 stone when I had her.... and that was it! I breast fed for 7 months, and didn't lose an ounce more. I've hated myself ever since I had her!!

    Anyway, I finished b/feeding 4 weeks ago, and started dieting. Lost 3 lbs first week, nothing the 2nd week, and then this week a massive 6 lbs!

    Will be good to get some support off you all.

    xx

    Lots of support on here Lisa and very well done you on the loss, that's really good. It's taken me since the beginning of March to lose 5lbs and also 5" and I put half a pound on last week. I get a bit boring saying this but don't forget to measure yourself. Don't hate yourself, you've done really well and we will all do it together. xxx

    Hi Lisa

    Well done for the weight loss

    I feel pregnant with my fat tum at the moment so at least you have an excuse ha

    Dont beat yourself up about it although I do know how you feel

    This nice weather makes you feel worse - all you want to do is cover up so everyone can not see your fat - then you feel even worse when you feel even hotter and you see other slimmer people in clothes that you would love to wear

    You can do this Lisa so good luck we are all behind you

    Thanks Angel, I hate the nice weather, because when you overweight its quite uncomfortable. Want to try and lose as much as possible before it goes really hot - but last few days its been really hot!

    Nice to have someone to talk to, as been gettin quite down about my weight. Previous to having my baby, I wasn't too bad - I keep looking at photos, and thinking "god, how on earth did I think I was fat then?" I have always thought I look fat, even when I wasn't!

    Thanks, will let you know how I get on.

    Good luck with your diet, you've done brilliantly so far - 13" is amazing! You can do it!

    I loved breastfeeding my son but when I finished I was so relieved and felt that I could be me again and not a drinks machine! It's a good time to go for it with a diet - get yourself back again!

    I've always thought I was fat too and when I see photos of me as a teenager it really winds me up because I was really slim and wasted all those years worrying I was fat!
