Hi,
I'm Tilly and live in the Channel Islands, between the UK and France.
I'm 41 and have had 6 children in the last 6.5 years. (They're 6, 5, 3 and twins of 4 months).
That's it now though, no more babies, so all the baby weight, and, tbh, the excess from before I had the babies, has to come off.

Anyone on the same mission want to join me?

    It's the same reason I'm here. It's been over 2.5 years since I've had my son and I still haven't lost the last 10 lbs. Plus the weight, I'm just flabbier everywhere. They've always said losing the pregnancy weight can be tough but I didn't realize it would be this difficult for me!

    That me! I had 2 kids in two years and the weight just doesn't seem to want to go anywhere... I joined this site to help me along. Hopefully knowing I will have to log my daily foods will encourage me to make wiser food choices everyday!

    My eldest was 3 last month and my youngest is 14 months, and I've been losing weight since my daughter was 8 weeks old. I'm now able to fit into clothes I wore on my honeymoon (just before I got pregnant with my eldest) but I still need to lose more to get back into my clothes from about 10 years ago (size 12 trousers).

    Although I can fit into old clothes, I still don't like my belly, and I need to tone up all over.

    I have personal training sessions twice a week and also go to the gym on my own, plus go out with my kids all the time.

    So, i'd like to lose maybe a stone and a half still. I've lost jjust over 2.5 stone since last year.

    I have three kids too - Max is 7, Lucy is 5 and Oliver is almost 3. My goal is my pre-pregnancy weight before my first. I saved all of the jeans and pants I grew out of hoping that *some day* I would fit into them again. Anyone can feel free to add me. We can all use the extra support! Let's all be some HOT mamas!!!
