Hello, recently had baby 2 (13 weeks) and my other daughter is 2. Am exclusively pumping. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I'm back after a long break. Originally lost 120lbs, had baby 1, gained 40 lbs, had baby 2, lost 5lbs and here I am.

Hello All! Need to do some reading to catch up but see there are some new faces, hope you stick around. Well it's 330 in the morning and I'm siting with a sleeping baby who has had a fever for 12hrs now and thought I might as well use the time! My trip home was great and once again leaving was the hardest thing ever. It…

Hello my friends, I'm sorry I've been MIA. With the end of term and little misses birthday party and preparing to leave I feel like I've hardly sat down. Secondly I've been a very naughty girl lately with food and it showed this morning at the gym as I trained with my trainer. At one point I was sure there was no oxygen in…

Hi all! Will read the updates properly later. Fab weekend away with the family. Being at my cousins who cook delicious meals and serve dessert with lunch and dinner always reminds me that moderation is the key. Yummy food and the scale stayed the same so I happy. Preparing for a scorcher today which means the girls at…

Hi Everyone! Sorry been a bit MIA from the board as been too hot and too busy. As you know though I've been back on my wagon and being successful. Very happy to see those 3lbs vanish and inch ever closer to the 100lb mark again. Had a great training session with my trainer today and used kettlebells for the first time. OMG…

Good Morning All :flowerforyou: Well I'm feeling more positive the last couple of days. A session with my trainer always does that and this beautiful dose of sunshine and hot weather doesn't hurt things either. I am determined to get out of the 270's in the next week or so and that is going to mean making demands on my…

Meg you continue to inspire me with your exercise. I was like that prepregnancy and miss it so much. My trainer once banned from the gym for a weekend because I was over training! Tru: happy Canada day! 10 years over here and none of my employers will give me the day off to celebrate!! There was a jog party in Trafalgar…

Still here my friends and plodding along. Out tonight for a well deserved adults dinner with a great friend. Both leaving the kiddies with the hubbies. Scale seems to be doing the right thing. Working hard on getting the food right. Hope you are all well. Will do more personal response later!

Hello all, I'm still here and staggering along. Felt rather busy lately so finding it hard to find time to post! Well the fluctuations and severe chocolate cravings are explained by the early arrival of TOM (sneaky *kitten*, that was about the only good side effect of Pregnancy!). Been trying to get more salad into my diet…

Martialangel: sorry to here you are having such a stressful time but well done on gaining focus and losing this week! Jane: good luck with the visit!! My family is having dinner with a mystery relative next week - a cousin I've never met who is visiting the UK... Don't know what we are going to talk about! Tru: keep that…

Ah Sunday Evening.....boo to Mondays! Well I've had an alright weekend. I was good at the birthday party yesterday and baby girl was exhausted, so much so that she couldn't sleep. Sigh. I need a night off! Today was boring as just hung out at home. I haven't made it to the gym as hubby's schedule hasn't allowed for it but…

Hi! Well its been an off sort of day. Little miss still isn't sleeping well since being in her own room and as a result I am dead on my feet. I just didn't care today when it came to food and I was over by a little more than 100 cals. Could have been worse I suppose. I find it really hard when I am tired to do anything and…

Morning All! Looks like everyone is continuing to do great. Meg, an 8 and 10k...hats off to you! My legs go wobbly just thinking about it. We had a good weekend here. I am however very sleep deprived as we have finally moved little miss into her own room and she doth protesteth loudly and frequently through the night.…

Ron: I had many milestones but under 250 was a big one for me. I started at 368. I was 248 when I got pregnant. I remember when it happens thinking 'finally closer to 200 than 300!!' Big congratulations. Also loved the friends blog. You rock :-) Well I am super excited. Thanks to some financial support from the family,…

Meg: a 930 bedtime sounds lovely to me! Saw you were runnin today, how do the new shoes feel? ReNae: 14lbs is amazing. I don't think I'd have the discipline to do a cleanse. Tru: send some of that heat this way. My mom keeps complaining about it and I'm shivering!! Jane: hope the weekends been fun. Today had been good. SIL…

Evening all! Meg: well done on the loss! Hope you have fun at the banquet. Ron: ugh, 7hours!! Oh dear .... Jahen: I hear ya on the prebaby body, I keep looking in my wardrobe and saying some day.... Though I must admit the mental picture you provided of being trapped in the top made me giggle. Well I confess I did not go…

Well my worry was for nothing. Trainer had to do an assessment and paper work with me as I am still considered postnatal. No workout. Dreaded weighing and measurements though. Talked about stress and how I lack time. Always just feel better after talking to her. I wash going to leave without a workout though so I hit the…

Jane well done on get of the workout in. I'm with you on the hirtong, my legs feel like dead weights. Meg: I loath push-ups so I admire your determination. Ron: congrats on that milestone. You are inspirational. Penny: glad you had a good weekend. Volcano mum made me laugh. See you got caught in the downpours yesterday…

Jane: sounds like a lovely day. I should tackle the gardens here but just don't have the time or that much inclination. My Mom is a fantastic gardener and she did not pass it on. Ron: fab NSV!! I've a closet of stuff waiting for that moment. Your story of air Canada made me laugh. Meg; oh dear sounds like quite the…

Morning All! I'm back at it today. I had a couple of days of relaxed eating. I know 'off days' are not for everyone nor does everyone agree with them but I know me and what works for me. It was better for me to have a couple of off days that were planned as off to get it out of my system. Otherwise I end up with continuous…

BLERG!!!!!!!!!! Been one of those days. Will check back properly when in a better mood.

Haha just reread this morning. I of course meant I missed you! Silly autocorrect. :-)

ReNae!!!!!!! So glad you found us and are here. I've kissed you and of course you can do it again :-)

Meg just reading about your days makes me tired! Kelly welcome:-) Penny glad you are back at it and that generally things are more positive. Parents are meant to drive you bonkers, that's their job. As for me, hubby kept his promise and came straight home tonight so I was able to make it to a spin class. Felt more…

Ron: sounds like you will be busy a usual! What part of Canada is your wife's cousin from? I'm from Ontario, near Toronto. They are getting fantastic weather over there. Shame we can't! Jehan welcome back. I too have been in and out. You've got the right attitude and determination. You will get there. Sometimes life just…

Meg: great job on your run. Running a 5k without walking is one of my goals. Lifting: my trainer had me using weights regularly as part of my training and before I fell pregnant I was the strongest woman in the gym. The weeks I didn't use weights, my losses were smaller. And on the NSV - fab!!! Skatergirl welcome! Jane:…

Hi All, I'm hoping you will take me back after vanishing for a few weeks. I have struggled with the return to work and often had the thought process 'I deserve this, look at everything I'm doing in my day' which was then followed by 'F&%* it, I'm tired'. Now I had a great long weekend where I ate perfectly and dropped a…

Hi everyone, I know I've been MIA for the last week. To say I did not cope well with the return to work is an underststent. None of it helped by my husband working overtime every night last week and both days this weekend. I fell apart and ate and ate and ate. It wasn't the right way to handle it but it is what happened. I…

Hey All Did a quick read through. I lost 2.2lbs this week which I'm thrilled about. Have not been to the gym since Friday. Hubby working lots of overtime and this is my first week back at work properly. To be honest, I have been so tired by the time I get home and do all the stuff for baby girl, I don't have the energy to…
