Thank you! I'm going for prawns and chicken with lots of veggies and steamed rice.

Thank you for your suggestions. I think I shall save some calories. I feel like a party pooper asking for small portions all the time. All of five birthdays are within 2 weeks, and they are big eaters!

I held onto a lot of water weight after my last pregnancy. I also had some fat to lose. Once I started eating at a deficit, the excess water came away very fast.

In the UK we sometimes say 'tea' to mean our evening meal. It's from when we had afternoon tea and then supper.

Same here... Took ages to lose a trouser size, but then it all sped up! I think I was slow to lose it from my thighs and bottom, but once I started losing there I was changing down trouser sizes every 8/10lbs

I lost weight to concieve. But went a bit far! I got a bit too thin, and my fertility went downhill. I got pregnant when I exercised in moderation, and ate a healthy amount x

Thank you all for your advice. I think you're right. I shall slowly increase my calories, and track everything for a while. I hope to be able to stop tracking at some point, but I think I'll need to be disciplined for a few months at least.

Ok, thanks! Was hoping I could eat an extra slice. Never mind!

Thank you all for answering. I thought that must be the case, but so many people claim to get them from weight loss I started to doubt myself. I'm not intentionally dropping weight fast... I just seem to be losing water weight very quickly at the moment. I'm sure it'll even out soon.

Thank you all for help. I think I might up my calories a bit, and see what happens. I've got a small frame, so I look better when I'm on the lighter end of 'normal' bmi. I've never lifted before.. I'd love to give it a go.

Thank you. I have enough energy to run around after my baby and toddler. In fact, I feel better than I did when I was scoffing biscuits all day. I should do some exercise too when I find the time.... My tummy is very squidgy!

I'm not able to breastfeed, I tried. (I tried everything, including pumping every 2 hours day and night for weeks
