This being a 'motivation and support' board. I just wanted advice on getting my weight down healthily and sustainably pre-pregnancy. The want for a third baby doesn't need discussion. Haha

I'm a mummy to two boys. Although I'm not ready to say I'm finished yet, we'd love another baby. In the meantime, I'd like to get as healthy as possible! Body definitely isn't what is was. Especially my 'mum tum'!!!!!!

Yep. 13 lbs down after 4 weeks doing this! Friend me and we can share diaries. I love to see inspiration for meals. X

Inspirational!! I'm a mom of two as well and need to lose 100lbs. I'm 13lbs down so starting right before the new year and totally aiming to kick 2017's butt. I turn 30 next year and this is my birthday present to myself. I WILL be healthier for my children. Xx

Watching hubby eat a Chinese takeaway in front of me!! Give me a break. Haha

I'm so awful at 'technology'. Don't know how to add you, lovely. But oh my God, I could have written this. I need to lose 100lbs, got two kids under 3 (although I can't really blame them for the weight gain. It happened over a long period of time). Want to be healthier for my boys (and any future pregnancy! You never know.…

I have an 8 day old baby (and a 2 year old) ... They're a work out in themselves!! I'm a full time mummy and shattered by the time my husband comes home. Surely, running around after two of them will burn some calories. Oh, and not having time to eat is helpful, too. Haha

I have an 8 day old baby and a 2 year old ... The toddler's keeping me busy which helped me to limit weight gain during pregnancy. BUT even though I did ready well (and only gained 16lbs!!) ... I still have 5 stone to lose before I'm at my goal weight. Breastfeeding requires 500 extra calories a day, but that's without a…

Thank you for understading. I did have my first doctor's appointment yesterday, but as you said - she seemed surprised that I had even asked about diet, she weighed me and I was down 11lbs on the last time they had weighed me, over about 6 months ago, so she decided I was doing the right thing, safely. She even advised…

Thank you to all of you! Put my mind at rest a little! My pre-pregnancy calorie goal as only 1,350 so seems crazy to go up to 2,000??! Although I agree with not trying to lose during pregnancy. I will check with my Doctor to be certain. Caletagirl - congrats on your news too! Being a first-time-Mom in waiting is very…

Hi - I'm aiming for 90 as my first milestone but to be a 'perfect' BMI weight I need to loose just over 100 ... feel free to add me x

And me! I work from home - so here when you need me! Good luck with your journey x

Hello - feel free to add me .... more the merrier for encouragement! Good luck x

Wow, 6:30 is a little too early for me! haha. Porridge seems to be the breakfast of choice! Yum. Thanks guys - I will try to kick start my metabolism a little earlier though. Hope you all have a great day x

Thanks for this. The more options the better! Glad it seems to be working for you! X

41lbs lost is amazing. Congrats. Well, I am just past my one week mark (lost 6lbs) ... But in this for the long haul. Had a total wake up call and need to get back in control. Recently started working from home and things had slipped a little (not as much routine). So would be keen to have motivational people around me. We…

Thanks guys - let's hope I can follow in your footsteps and keep loosing weight! x
