just tried this and i can do (drum roll) ....2...wow... my new goal is to work on my push ups!

Wow you do sound busy and I cant even imagen trying to get time to exercise as a single mum. You could try just logging your food and watching what your eating at first which is ½ the battle and then slowly add in some exercise when you get some time…even little things like a few sit ups and push ups before getting into…

after i finished breastfeeding i went down from a G to a C cup...almost cried at what they were like and told my husband we were going to have to save so i could buy some new ones! ...BUT within 6 months the skin had gone back to normal and they were pretty much good as new :) Just give it some time and it might sort…

I posted a really similar thread this morning but i have been reading a lot of stuff on here about increasing your calories to loose more ...especially if you don’t have too much to go? wish i could be of more help but dont have a great understanding myself yet!

Thank you so much @sjb74uk. and im 'adding all this extra complication in' because after reading the forums it seemed other posters had a really good knowledge base about calories/nutrition and had had some amazing sucsess with eating more calories so i thought i would try and expand my knowledge and ask their advice.

bump...so i can look at home later!

When you’re 3 year old no longer wants to stay up past his bedtime to watch cartoons but to work out with mummy and daddy instead… When I keep promising myself a day off from exercising and then keep putting it off because I just cant go without! (and who is this person i've turned into??)

JenAiMarres - i would kill for your legs!! dam i have to run...as the mum of three boys too looks like nap time is over for them and that means goodbye to my nice break in front of the computer!

ohh i like this idea, will find a post preggo picture to put up next to my other one - can remind myself where i started out! funnily enough even after my last c-section my tummy never holds to much fat - its more like someone has deflated my bum and been adding dough to my thighs while ive been sleeping....:laugh:

thanks so much everyone - didnt realise how touched i would get by the replies but actually feel a bit choked up! am printing out my old picture and putting it in the gym as motivation!! I realised looking at it that its not that i am that far off the weight (only about 5kg) but i was so toned in the photo whereas my…

sent you a friend request thanks, need all the support i can get!

Just what i needed to hear today :)

thanks! i know it in my head that its possible just suddenly felt there was sooooo far to go! Wish i had got my head in the right space after my second... you look TOTALLY FANTASTIC!!

FANTASTIC

your definitely allowed your opinion but just to say i find it really helpful and motivating to log my .1 and .2...in fact i love to weigh myself daily and im chuffed with every little tiny bit the scale goes down, im trying to eat in a healthy way and am exercising for the first time in years and if my weight has stayed…

Think we are close will friend you :smile: Love finding twins!! Female 5"4 Sw:145 Cw:131 Gw:120 Would live more friends with similar goals :smile:

Started Jan 3 and loving my new healthier lifestyle! (after the first 3 weeks of not loosing a thing! :smile: ) and @natalie dont feel bad i have lost pretty much the same about as you and am feeling really proud of myself for loosing it!

It will be fine…they will all probably be very friendly and actually impressed that a 5”2 girl has ventured over there :smile: Do know how you feel though…way waaaaay back in my pre children days I used to be into doing weights and I could deadlift 100kg as a 5”4 woman (was impressive for me )…and I still used to get…

Thanks so much for all the advice, will try with a bit of an incline tonight and slow it down (although if I slow down my jog any more I may be walking :)) just a shame as I felt like my speed was slowly improving outside...darn murderers/rapists/attackers hindering my weight loss! :)

sorry don’t know how to reply to a separate person but @nwhitley im probably being silly but am a bit embarrassed to join a running group as everyone i know in one is super fit...was hoping i could get a bit better by myself first...also am really constrained with time as i don’t want to eat into my time with the kids as i…

thanks! i feel like such a muppit running on the treadmill...even my 3 year old told me he could teach me to run if i wanted as hes as fast as a superhero apparently!

would love to find my twin :) Age: 32 Height: 5'4 SW: 141 (64kg) CW: 131 (59.5) GW: somewhere between 110 - 120? (am in Australia hence the kgs!) NSV goal - would LOVE to for once in my life be able to wear hot pants and have a good bum...not even sure i want to wear hotpants but i want the option! ;-)

Brisbane Australia - 30 today and just went for a VERY hot jog!!

hi you sound so down after you have achieved so much already. Do you have someone you can share all your inches lost with that will celebrate with you as your weight/size goes down? if you really are 100% happy with how you look now then thats fantastic but if you have just hit a blip and need some help then maybe try…
