New Mum fighting the flab!

Fredderfy

Hello everyone! My name's Bex, I'm 22 from Bristol and I've just become the proud Mum of a lovely little boy who is now 4 months old (okay not just.)

I didn't realise I was pregnant until November (I thought I was in July and went to the docs but she said there was no way I could be as on depo). Getting fatter and fatter, piling on the pounds, I just thought I had a food problem. Anyway, after a shocking discovery that I was about 25 weeks preggers, 2 months later I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks with pre-eclampsia and ended up having an emergency caesarian. So my lovely little boy was born 2 months premature.

Anyway, enough about that. I'm a fatty and I want to be a thinny. Well not really, I just wanna feel good about myself. I felt good about myself when I was 11 stone, so that's my aim for now.

I'm hoping that this place is lovely and supportive! So hello to all Hope everyones having a good day

Hi Bex. I have read your post and it has touched a nerve with me. I am 27 years old, and I have 4 children: Connor 8, Kieron 7, Shannon 5 and my latest (and last) Heather is 4 1/2 months old. I was on the depo after I had my daughter Shannon and fell pregnant too, however I miscarried. Since having my daughter Heather, I have decided to go back onto the depo. I have heard that depo can affect your weight so I am going to have to take this into account when I trying to loose weight.

I used to be a smoker, but quit during all my pregnancies (I obviously don't smoke around the children!). Unfortunately I started again each time after the kids were born. I have now been smoke free for just over a year, so I am still battling my weight gain from quitting! I have no intention of starting again, and will do whatever it takes!!

I used to be a size 10 before having Connor, and I am now a size 12/14. I was comfortable with my body when I was about 10st, so that is my goal.

I would be greatful if you could share any successful tips with me and I will do the same with you. Hope you are doing well with your goals and hope you and baby are doing well. Hope to hear from you soon.x.
