Lonely fat mummy

Hey, don't be scared!! This site is fab and people are soooo supportive! I have been off track for about a month(ish) but started again today with gusto!1 And all my fitness pals are still there to help me.Get the kids in a pushchair and go out for a walk, doesnt matter where! Feel free to add me. xx

It is very hard to be away from family or some type of support group especially after you just have a baby. All those hormones are out of control! And, having a baby is a lot of work, not to mention two of them! I'm so happy to hear that you are breastfeeding! It is so good for not only the baby but you also! It burns a ton of calories! Just remember, you were pregnant for over 9 months, give yourself at least that amount of time to lose the weight you gained. Take it slow. Just enjoy your babies! They are a wonderful blessing and motivation to be healthy!

hey glad you came on here you can add me as a friend we can support each other

STAY ENCOURAGED AND REMEMBER TO TRY TO LOG-IN EVERYDAY.

Merde! Where abouts in France? Don't give up on yourself, yes, you're doing it pretty tough right now. But hang in there, you'll find some friends. Have you read the book Almost French? The author also observed that French women were not so friendly, in fact they all behaved as though they were competing (apparently French men are all philandering schmucks). So you're in good company. Sure that doesn't help your lonely feelings but at least you're not crazy or paranoid. Meantime you've got us lot to deal with. We'll certainly give you a hard time if you don't cheer up! lol.

Seriously, there's lots of friendly people here who'll support you in your quest for greater health and fitness. And we'd love to see some pics of your babies, bet they're cute as could be.

Hiya, my mum lives in France and although she doesnt have small children, i get completly the isolation aspect as she often talks of this with me, especislly not speaking the lingo ect.
This is a fab site for support and motivation, feel free to add me. You can do this with help of good friends and theres a great bunch on here. Good luck xxxx

Hey hun! Welcome to mfp, we're all here for you, for support and motivation. You can do this! You've taken the first step by joining this site! I've sent you a friend request xxx

Hi, you've come to the right place MFP is a great support and motivational place. Find the inner strength to get out and do what you need to after all it is for you that you want to do this. There will always be support from within this site.

I think that this will help,i know that your calories need to be up a lil for that baby but if your at home all day just everytime you eat, try to record, hopefully actually seeing what your eating can help you curb bad habits.because you will want to find healthier lower cal foods so you can eat more! I have been doin this for a lil over a week and am doing well so far, Im sure that you will do well also. just dont give in. incorporate that baby into excersize if you can! Even if it is jumping around,dancing, It will prob be entertaining to the baby..lol(at least 18 yrs ago that worked for me)!

Hi there!

I used to live in the Limousin so I can really understand the isolation you feel! My bestest mate in the world still lives there and has two young children.

Since finding MFP I have managed to lose nearly 2 stone and it's been a good journey. People are really supportive and I quite enjoy logging the calories and exercise - it puts everything into perspective!

Friend me if you like!

Don't give up on yourself - you're not pathectic, just struggling a bit at the moment. It WILL pass.

Tale care :-)

Echoing what has already been said, you do not said pathetic. Hell, I didn't even have my daughter yet and moved out of state and felt alone...I'd cry all the time " I wanna go HOME...I want my MOM"

I haven't been on this site long and I was on another one and there are now people that I've made friends with and plan on visiting as soon as the funds are in order. Its a great place for support and knowledge.

Take care and congratulations on the babies.

DON'T BE SCARED! Look at this experience with a new light and a new you. Take it by storm, mama! If you need support, don't hesitate to add me as a friend Good luck!

Sent you a friend request I'm not always great at keeping up to date but I'm good for a natter

I was a single mum for the majority of my boys' childhoods so I know it can be tough but you'll do it!! And breastfeeding helps lose loads of weight :flowerforyou:

I'm new on here too, but welcome aboard..:happy:

Hi Mama - Oh, have I ever been in your shoes! I was pregnant when I married, and delivered 3 months after my wedding. Was instantly a stay-at-home mom (previously worked 40/hr/week), depressed, and felt all alone! My hubby was a raging alcoholic to top it all off (different story, won't detail it here - LOL!). I put on mega poundage these past 10 years, but now that I have a 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter, I've finally figured out that it's time to put ME FIRST. But interestingly enough, by putting ME first, everyone else in the house is following suit! I live with my hubby, my 2 kids, and recently a sister moved in my house, and together, in one week we have cumulatively lost 22 pounds using this website. It is just amazing.... you just need to be firm, count every calorie, watch your food labels, input your recipes and portion them accordingly, exercise, and you'll be good to go! Take it from me, whose only exercise used to be walking from the living room couch to the kitchen, that it can be done! Throw your whole mind into yourSELF. Because if it benefits you, it will benefit your children. I'm down 18 lb. since last month, but first found this website just last week, and lost 3 lb. this last week. Feel free to put me as your friend, I'd love to email you personally and we can keep each other inspired! It's so very hard to be a mom, feel alone, and then feel good enough about yourself to do things FOR yourself... I've been there. You're definitely on the right track, don't let anyone derail you!! Keep on keeping on!!
