Urm..i think i feel more confident. .and i dont judge myself as much now. Hoever now that im thinner, people and especislly men look at me which makes me uncomfortable. I kinda liked being invisible because of my big size. Now i dont like people looking at me ughh Im still not at my goal weight though and after having 3…

what???? exercise is not for losing weight??? Ive never heard of that....ever

That's a fab idea but it doesn't replace the great feeling of tasty foods caressing my willing taste buds "/

That is a great quote. Will remember that one :)

great. how much have you lost so far?

thanks guys, You've all given me some great tips and ideas and it was great to see what you all do too. Do you think by looking at my diary, that I'm eating low enough calories? ??

hiya, we have such a similiar situation. Im also seeing my waistline and tummy appear when it was once a distant dream lol. ive lost a couole of inches on my tummy (i measure from on top of my belly button and extend 2wards my back) and a few in other places. ive even lost nearly an inch of my neck? weird. how long did 31…

actually recently ive been having a full good supply even at 1600...but i barely stay on 1600...i eat around 1800 ish. "( and my supply then 100% did go wayyy down. like nothing waa coming out, baby was hungry, empty nappies etc. but maybe i was eating lower calories than i thought?

Rhank Thank You got a long way 2 go yet "s well ive been doing the same kinda thing for 3 weeka and before that i was doing HIIT but not seeing much. ill take the switching it up/ changing it to shock the body on board..thank you.

what about when you hear that if you build muscle then you burn more fat or calories as you need to consume more calories in order to maintain that muscle mass you gained?? and also that muscle makes your metabolism faster ??

how slow?? is there Even a point to strengh training?? All i want is to burn my enormous fat layers from all over my body and to not lose the muscle i already have. plus I want to avoid lose and flabby skin as much as possible. IS IT WORTH ME SWEATING OVER WEIGHTS or should i JUST hit the cardio machines?

you lost 80 lbs in a year whilst breastfeeding?? yet i should only aim to lose 50lbs in a year?? can you eleborate on that?? i mean how many lbs a week were you losing then??

im trying to figure out why the fitness instructer at the gym said that no matter, women just dont build muscle..and to keep strength training and exercising to burn fat.

is the benefit of exercising just for toning then?

the reason I said no weight loss is because sometimes when I jump on the scale I show 194...even now a month after. and sometimes I'll show 192. Sometimes I'm 88.5kg...sometimes I'm 87. so it seems on some day as I'm making no (VERY insignificant) progress.

you did great. so how much on average did you lose per week in those nine months ??

hi thanks for your support, I already DO weigh my food in a food scale ( and measure liquid in a jug etc) and I've lost 4 lbs in 5 weeks. I'm quiet stunned at your weight loss, what a fantastic amount to lose!! did you exercise at all?? x

could you provide a link to where it says that about women and muscle gain, it's very interesting. I have now opened my diary for all to read. "》

wow that's great..how many inches have you lost so far?

I totally get what your saying. I'm actually planning on nursing for 2 years in total. hey 1 thing I don't understand is you know all the websites say you burn 300-600 call a day BFing, yet my deficiting so much from my maintenance calorie level (2700 due to activity level and BFing factor) yet I lose just 1lb still!!??…

with this amount to lose (1bs ) how many months would it take to lose it? 12 ? that seems very difficult to maintain as going to the gym is already proving difficult with 3 kids. I just want to do this in the least amount of time...not because of impatience but because otherwise I may not be able to at all !!

thank you. It's just I wanted to lose 2lbs, as I've got a long way to go.

baby is 5 months old and yes I'm exclusively bf-ing. wow you lost a lot of weight, which is so inspirational. How long did it take you and how many calories were you eating?

hi all thanks for your replies, I'm not eating back my breastfeeding OR exercise calories. I've found that eating 1500 call greatly reduces my milk supply. 1800 - and milk is plentiful...maybe I could go 1700/1600...... what do you think?? I'm 14 stones 2lbs...or 87kg. 5ft5 or...165cm I have been trying to lose weight for…

Is there a reason I shouldn't do the cardio first because I always seem to do that first to get it out of the way.

So how many inches or siE So how many Inches or sizes did you go down??

So what would constitute as a good light cardio and a strength routine? 10 mins on elliptical/ 10 mins on cycling ( as supposed to 20 mons each) where my heart rate is....... (?) And how about strength training? Are the gyms machines good for it? For eg: chest press/shoulder press/abductions/adductions/glutes/abs MACHINES…

I think if I had to chose then I would go for losing fat and breastfeeding and just leave out the building muscles for now. Can I still weight train though to build a nice body shape and get STRONGER or should I just do cardiovascular?

What would my maintenance be? Some sites say 2300 some say 2700. I can barely keep down 1900...I just dont feel like eating and feel sick if I try and eat more. What should I do about that? The last time I spoke to the child nurse she didn't have a clue about anything. Neither do the docs I speak to. They just say the…

I nurse on demand and my baby is 5 months old. My breasts seem empty and floppy/soft very little milk comes out...baby remains hungry and asks for more. Plus no feeling of letdown like usual.
