    Hi Nettleboo.

    I had a baby in 2012 (april) and i really want to get my pre pregnancy shape back. I have so many clothes that do not fit! I guess its hard to do exercise when you are exhausted after running after a toddler. I have decided to focus more on my food intake, do some exercise (pushing buggy in field is great) and try to keep calories low. My friend did it this way. 1500 a day.

    I could do with some company - motivation - I always stick to the diet more when I know people are there monitoring my intake too!

    This new years resolutions going to work!

    if u r tired then try not to push yourself too much with exercise. Just aim for a walk every day with baby. Just to burn say 150 calories... not tons, you may find that sustainable. Dont have massive aims for exercise. Reduce the carbs (pasta) and load up on meat/ veg that will drop your calories too. good luck
