1663+ my 63= 1726

The husband is organising family portraits to be taken for our 10 year wedding anniversary - with our 4 adorable children- a year ago I would say no, now looking forward to it! Huge for me- I take millions of pictures and am never in them!

Porridge, Greek yoghurt, fruit, lots of water (lots & lots) peanut butter (sparingly) spread on rice crackers, wholegrains and plenty of veggies with every meal. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice

Nope, sometimes sore at C-section scar but only very rarely. Seek medical advice

Reading these posts with trepidation! just ordered the DVD- arriving on Friday so day 1 for me with Saturday- aagh! Keep up the good work ladies!

Well done! Keep it up

Titanium - David Guetta gets me up a lot of hills! Even though I enjoy Coldplay, Keane, the killers, kodaline, hozier etc all the ladies keep me running- Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Taylor, Rihanna etc

After reading this checked my BMI, 24.6 I am finally out of overweight category- so happy!!

I'm down to 30:12 and want to be at 28 something by the end of the summer too. Still not enjoying my runs which I find very frustrating. Husband says I should forget about time/pace- says the man who wants to get to 20 minutes! Anyway good luck to you both!

Congratulations! Be kind to yourself in the early days, weeks and months. Lack of sleep makes everything very hard. Porridge (oatmeal??) Greek yoghurt, peanut butter on rice cakes or apples, loads of fruit and veggies and a glass of water by your side at all times! My fourth and last is a year tomorrow!! Bf till he was 9…

Re read your post this morning- it really struck a chord with me. Should be read by every MFPer!!

Really enjoyed reading your post- inspirational and very well written- thank you!

Ran a 10k charity run on Sunday- went for my first run in 2 years at the end of January so really happy that I ran the whole 10k- not setting any speed records but am getting fitter, and raised €230 for a good cause. Running is easier when you're lighter Am loving this thread- keep it going!

The moment when you can take any item out of your wardrobe and know it will fit you... The moment when you beat yourself up over the slow pace of your 5 mile run and then just realise you've run 5 miles... The moment when you see your hip bone protruding.... The moment when your head catches up with the fact that you are…

I started on June 23rd at 210 and currently at 160- very similar loss! You look great- keep it up

So many chances to make excuses not to go, but I didn't take any of them! Exactly this!

Went running (I use that word loosely) last night for first time since my son was born (9 months ago) Ran 4km in 28 mins, no stopping. It was cold, windy and dark. I had a pile of corrections to face when I got home (school teacher), a kitchen to clean and lunches to prepare for 3 school going kids- and I did it all. NSV-…

I found 1800 calories was right for me- just don't waste those calories!!

Porridge every morning helped me feel satisfied after a night of feeding, lots and lots of water and fruit, I was mindful of my protein intake- fish, eggs, even peanut butter on rice cakes. I finished nursing about 2 months ago but lost 30 lbs when nursing and I didn't restrict myself- just made good choices. Lack of sleep…

After avoiding biscuits, sweets and general 'goodies' for the past 6 months I suppose I've just forgotten how calorific sweet things are! I'm just nervous that over Christmas I lose the run of myself with all the get togethers, family gatherings, work dos- it goes on and on. Think I'll serve the pudding when I've lots of…

It's the whole thing- about 500 calories per serving before any cream!!!

Ditto the big success!!!

I for one am delighted you posted your bikini shot- very motivating to those of us with still a bit to go. Fair play girl you look great!!!

Went back to work after 6 months maternity leave, feel so much more comfortable in my work clothes- and professional. Good feeling

What a great post!! Well done girl

Well done! You look great- even with the big yellow blob

You look brilliant,hard to believe you're a mammy to 5 children- fair play! I've 4 and know that's my limit. Well done

UK sizes 10-16, was 10-18, plus maternity clothes. Am now between a 14 and 16 and the occasional size 12 top! Crazy the variation in standard sizes from store to store, I find Next and M&S to be very generous. Aim is to get back to 10-12.

100 days of logging, so pleased with myself!
