Weightloss

**bitty** · 15-08-2006 06:20

I was just wondering if any of you are struggling with weight loss after bub. I have a 4 month old and have about 15-20kgs to drop and it seems like such a huge task. I was wondering who would be interested in starting a support group, posting ideas, and keeping each other accountable. Maybe posting starting weight and goal weight and then weight loss per week or fortnight and what we have done to achive that??? As a SAHM i find it hard to get out of the house sometimes but have made the leap and joined a gym that has a child minding service.
Anyway if anyone is interested id love to hear from you, but if not maybe ill just use this space to track my own progress???

take care
Elizabeth

It is a great idea Bitty.. i know ive seen plenty of threads started to keep track of weightloss as a group, and i do plan on joining, but never had, and sometimes hard to keep track of them when heaps of people posting etc..

but would be great to see you keeping your goals on record etc..
i really want to start losing my pregnancy weight as well. was even considering starting the Tony Ferguson Diet.
And have been paying for my gym membership for the last 6 months and havent gone!! so i must change that!!
Good luck with you weight loss!!

I try to get outside once a day. I don't drive, and i live in a smallish town, so i walk everywhere.

I've got the flu ATM so I've got NO energy. I usually end up in hospital with asthma problems, so I'm taking it easy this week.

What's ur diet breaker food? Mine's tim tams with coffee (the vacumn thing)

**bitty** · 17-08-2006 17:31

yuck! i hope you get better soon
my diet breaker food are smiths chips and the big killer is alcohol. I love to have a few drinks on the weekend. I have cut out most week day drinking (tho tonight im enjoying a nice bottle of moscato but its low alcohol so has less sugar) but yeah thats its...oh and roast pork lol i have lots of them i guess, but im trying not to diet this time around, just incorporate the foods i love into my life so that i can live a normal life, enjoy everything in moderation and exercise. I think that is going to be the best way for me to lose it all and once and for all keep it off.
