Hello,
I'm new here, mfp has been recommended to me. lost 3 pounds in my first week!
i was previously using another weight loss programme. My total loss so far is 13lbs!

I am a mum to a almost 3 year old and 14 month old twins. My twins were born weighing 7lbs 4oz and 7lbs 2oz. There were a boy and a girl so i have two lots of water and placenta etc. I was Huge! Will Try and add a pic.
Really trying to lose the baby weight. Got another 28lbs to go to my target of pre baby. :-)

I also suffer with badly separated stomach muscles and have a huge hernia where my intestines come through the wall. (Sorry if too much info) I am hoping that the surgeon i am under will agree to operate to fix it as i will always look 7 months pregnant no matter how much weight i lose.

Claire x

    Hi there, another twin Mum here. Mine are 3year old ID boys :smile:

    I actually did'nt put on that much weight with my pregnancy but stacked it on after they were born :noway: I have lost a lot of my weight already but now working on the last bit and hoping that my stomach will start to shrink down a bit, my twins were my 4th and 5th children so after 5 children including twins I'm not holding out much real hope that I will lose the tummy :grumble:

    Tell me about the biscuits. They were just so handy and easy to snack on!! i don't buy them anymore so no temptation! lol
    The one thing that worries me about losing the weight my skin really sagging and overhanging. It looks awful now! :o( My belly button was a lovely innie and now it's about 4cm long where it's stretched.
    i am hoping that it won't look as bad as i think it will. x

    But better to have a bit of saggy skin then to be overweight! xx
