    Me too!

    I have three children 9, 6 and 4 and I'm still carrying my baby weight!

    I'm 37 and my weight is creeping up and I find that I now can't catch my 9 yr old when running and I dread having to go swimming with my wobbly thighs!

    I'm 5'7 and weigh 77kg and would like to get down to 65kg

    I'm doing 30 day shred
    C25k
    A bit of waterrower
    And calorie counting with MFP

    Have cut back on my alcohol too

    Very familiar!
    I have a daughter who's 2.5 and a son who just turned 4. My husband's away a lot so it can be lonely and easy to over-indulge, making it a bit of a challenge to avoid naughty foods and get out to exercise, etc.
    It would be great to chat to others who are facing the same obstacles and can hold me accountable. : )

    Hi all!

    I think I have added you all now, I hope we can try and encourage each other, id like to lose 13lbs first, that's my first goal, I have a lot to lose. About 2.5 stone would be nice!
    Maybe we can pass on tips too?

    My first tip, it does work, just i'v not started it properly yet...but eat a sugar free chewing gum around the kiddies tea time, if your not eating together, it stops you eating the leftovers!

    I'm a SAHM to a 4 year old daughter. Anyone can feel free to add me. I started June 10th and still going strong. I've got about 70 lbs to lose, but DH said that if I can get down to 155 we can try for a 2nd baby. So my motivation is chugging right along, lol!

    I'm trying to limit my intake of fizzy drinks so at the moment if I have a hunger/sugar craving I have a 500ml glass of sugar free squash with ice which really helps.

    I have also order my weekly food shop on line to be delivered tomorrow and my children are going to be very disappointed at the lack of sweets/biscuits/ice cream!....we are rural so can't grab something if tempted.

    No alcohol tonight :( ...only joking!
