I want to lose 10lb before Xmas to get me below 11 stone, 14 pounds would be even better!

Hey Well done Poke. Fab work. Your so motivated and with house full of kids and jobs. Wow - Wilson crawling. Anna is nearly sitting on her own and rolling but a bit off crawling. I've logged today and within my calories. My Fitbit not recorded many steps but I have walked school run and to town and the dogs so it must be…

Hello all, sorry not been on for a while. I've annoyed myself by losing and gaining the same few pounds over the last few months. I'm hoping that it's on the way down and will stay down! I want to be slim for summer. Anna is 6 months now and doing great. She is loving her food and can't stay still with rolling about. I…

Hey summer, glad you are both doing ok. 10lb is nothing and you soon sort that once your not as tied down. All ok here. Managing my work outs and trying to stay motivated. Some days it's easier than others but I guess that's life! Lol Catch up soon

Hey sounds like a good plan. I'm 34 and in the UK. I have a 3 year old and 4 month old. Will send you a friend request

Happy new year everyone. Anna is 4 months now- time is flying. We have had a fab time and Isaac (age 3) has loved every minute of it. Anna has just about got over her chest infections (been over 6 weeks mind). Roll on Spring! Right on to me/ fitness. With kids being ill and in hospital with them etc I lost track I bit. I'm…

Hi Just quick update- been long week. Both kids have had Bronchiolitis and Anna been in hospital for just over a week on oxygen n feeding tube for a few days. We came home yesterday so all looking better now. Isaac will go back to school tomoz and will try and get on track. I guess I could of lost weight as not eaten much…

Morning We had an ok night Isaac slept fine, he not gone on school trip tho as it's an outside train trip all day and he defo not right. Today's aim is not to snack too much as we in all day plus do DVD and housework. Won't get my steps in today so will try everything else! Hey Regenhay- sounds like your doing fab with the…

Zumba sounds good. We have the Angel care monitor too, I like it (used with our son too). Isaac has a bad cough and cold and just been coughed up a sick all over his bed! He is now changed and sorted and just trying to settle Anna. It typically happens when I'm home on my own. Thinking we going to have a rough night!! Poor…

Hi sounds like you got a good plan. We have thread on here called 'end of summer/falls babies- getting back in shape' if u want to join in.

Good goals Poke. I forgot it was thanksgiving. U have a big family meal at home? Helen

Hi Sleeping can be hit and miss. Anna sleeps in her cot in her own room and shouts when she wants fed. It Can be once a night or can be a few times. She was going to bed at 9.30/10pm and gets up at 7/7.30am but waking in between to feed but she doesn't really open her eyes so resettles quickly. This week has been settled…

Hey Stephanie, yeah defo wait until you have the all clear. The weeks fly by. I can't hardly remember the first few weeks now! My goals for the week: Record food all week Walk each day 10,000 plus 3 X 30 mins dvd. Anyone else?

Hi everyone. Glad you are all doing ok. I plan on posting each week or more to keep on track. This week I have walking 12000 steps plus each day but not managed any of my fitness DVDs as baby had decided she only sleeps for 10 mins at a time! Will aim to do sat and sun as OH should be about in the afternoons. Suzanne-…

Hey everyone. Glad everyone doing well and still checking in! Anna is 5 weeks tomorrow and I just can't believe it! The weeks are flying by. She is quite quiet and not been much bother so far. She has had a cold this last week so a bit more unsettled. Isaac is loving 'helping' with her and is a very proud big brother. He…

Hi all I had LG 5 weeks ago by vbac, no time for any drugs or gas and air and all went well. I found the worst part the stitches! (Which I did need gas and aid for!) But have healed well and found the birth much better than c section. I'm so pleased I tried. I've just got a Fitbit zip and making sure I get my steps in.…

Hi Huge congrats Katie. Love her name and so pleased all going well. I will catch up properly in next few days. All going well here. Can't believe Anna is 4 weeks old! X

Poke- sounds exciting - one week to go ! Glad your 5 year old settled. Isaac went ok but the teacher said he was up and down so hoping as week goes on he will improve. He has been a bit clingy at home too so guess to be expected. Not sure but maybe would if been better if had got a week or 2 in before baby born but can't…

Morning How's everyone doing? Can't wait to hear of the next baby arriving. Isaac starts school today (pre school). I'm really nervous for him! Hope he be ok and I don't cry! Lol We doing well. Anna going good, eats, sleeps when she fancied and Isaac loves her. He a little jealous but so far so good. I have bought him…
