In the last 11 weeks I have lost 5.5kg (12 pounds) But I have seen a MASSIVE difference in the tape measure and in my before and after photos. The first pic is 16 months post giving birth, the 2nd photo is 19 months post giving birth. Nowhere where I want to be but definitly on my way.

Hi everyone, I lost the thread. Welcome to those ladies who have recently joined. I have made a table of weights/ measurements if anyone wants to be added to it just pm me the following details Start weight Bust, Waist (at smallest part), tummy around Belly button, and the widest part of your bum measurements I will keep…

gonna come back and look at this later after my partner is finished with the computer.

Are you making sure you are drinking loads of water? I have found if I don't drink at least 6 glasses a day I don't get a loss.

8.20 PM Monday night here :) I too am dissapointed

You need to do way more stretching at the end than she does, that will help heaps

Those of you who are doing the 30ds do you want to PM me your Start weight Bust, Waist (at smallest part), tummy around Belly button, and the widest part of your bum measurements and I will make up a table to post how much cm's and %weight lost over the 30 days. I will keep the measurements private

Yep Kelly PM me the sig, I started about 9.15 :) Yeah some of it can be pretty hard out. Level 2 is hard, probably why I only did 2 days of level 2 last time lol

Yeah use the zumba sticks they will do for now. Ok So I have just done level 1 day 1

Thanks wutamunkee and hssheikh, It is kinda strange to think that I am the one inspiring people now. I used to look at photos like these and think "there's no way MY body can change like that" but it is obviously possible. You can do it too :)

Thank you shnazzy

Oh yes my arm measurement didn't change for AGES but I definitely have way more definition than I used to now. At one point my *kitten* was getting bigger but It looked and felt way firmer. Don't get too caught up on those scales and the tape measure, I bet you are feeling alot healthier, it is awesome that your fitness…

I had my son 19 months ago and after my pregnancy with him my AB muscles separated to the width of all 4 of my fingers. I have been doing planks and planks with different leg movements etc and my muscles are now less than 1 finger with apart.

Thank you tickletickle

do you eat chicken? What about chocolate milk, I have heard that is great.

well done on avoiding Dairyqueen, thats awesome. We don't have that in New Zealand but I presume its an ice cream / milkshake shop. Jennifernellwebb - I looked pregnant in july too, and my son was 16 months old lol.

Thanks guys

which ones are you curious about?

I eat heaps of protein, heaps of chicken. and usually not many carbs at all, it seems to be working good for me.

I have been walking, doing zumba at home, some of the 30DS (only done up to day 2 level 2, over about 4 weeks) a lit of kickboxing dvd by jillian michaels, and about 5 runs, but haven't ran for ages. I am going to start doing the C25K as soon as I go and pick up my treadmill hopefully next week. I try to do 30-45 mins of…

Sweet tomorrow sounds good. Kelly just use some cans till you get the weights. I will do mine either in the morning or lunch time when the baby is sleeping, oh sometimes I may not do it until the evening. LOL just when I have time I guess

Don't know, Does everyone want to start soon or wait until the 1st october so we know what day we are on easily lol

I just put it as circuit training in the exercise log

You need light weights, I got some 500g ones from rebel sport for about $3 each.

When are you gonna start it Kelly?

Hi welcome to MFP. Hope it works well for you, good luck with the next 7-10 weeks

I got 1200cal same as what MFP said, but I love all the other info it told me.

Roasted with garlic, sage and rosemary is always yummy.

Yep I'd be keen
