Allimack gettin back on track

Well here's the food diary I'v been talkin bout startin 4 ages!

For any1 who doesn't kno me already (or is interested! lol!) here's a brief history of me: Started doin SW from home in Oct 2008 weighin 12st n set a target of 8st10lb, got 2 just below target at 8st7lb n maintained the loss for over 4yrs until becoming pregnant wif my gorgeous son Sam who'll b 3wks old on Monday! Since startin SW I became a bit of an exercise junkie: I'v always been a horsey person n ride at least once a week but I started runnin a few times a week as well as becoming a complete pilates addict! Altho I stopped runnin durin my pregnancy I kept horse riding up until 30wks (much 2 my midwife's disgust! lol!) and kept doin pilates everyday, albeit prenatal pilates, n tried 2 walk as much as poss. Anyway as a result I didn't gain much weigh durin my pregnancy (weighed 9st3lbs after the birth) but unfortunately as me n Sam got re-admitted 2 hospital n had 2 stay in a whole other week I'v managed 2 gain a few pesky lbs eattin hospital food!

Basically I now ave 1st 2 lose 2 get back 2 my pre-pregnancy weight of 8st7lbs n I hope 2 ave lost this by xmas. That gives me 16wks which I reckon shud b very achievable n allows a wee margin 4 the odd inevitable slip-up! I also intend 2 gradually get back 2 exercising as well - I had 2 ave a C-section unfortunately so it'll b a slow start back!

I actually started back on plan on Wed n altho I'v mostly been good I already had a wee slip-up last nite n ended up wif a chippy 4 T but I'm not gona worry 2 much bout that.....

Anyway pls feel free 2 correct me if I'v made any mistakes syn-wise etc as I don't go 2 group so mite b outa date wif sum things - I won't b offended n wud appreciate the help! I mainly do EE but wif the odd Red n Green day thrown in 4 a change. I'm also breastfeeding so I'm allowin extra HX's 4 that.....WISH ME LUCK!

Well it was WI day after my 1st week back on plan n I'm thrilled 2 report a 7.5lb loss!!!! I realise that's quite a lot but I'm assuming that I was still carryin fluid/swellin from my pregnancy n emergency C-section when I WI last Wed so the stone I "gained" wasn't all "real gain" if that makes sense!? lol! Anyway I'm totally delighted n altho I don't expect 2 lose the rest THAT quickly I'm feelin very positive that once I can exercise properly again it'll drop off steadily enuf. So far I'v only been out walkin but hopefully I'l b able 2 re-introduce exercise ( startin wif my beloved pilates!) shortly, mayb next week!?

Well done! fantastic loss. Will follow you. Keep it up

Hey just wanted to say congrats on the great loss! You are doing fab, esp with the LO. At that stage with the breastfeeding/tiredness all I wanted to do was eat and eat... The extra HX are great though.

Hope Sam is doing well now.

Thanx folks! I'm dead chuffed wif myself at the loss even tho, as I said, I realise that a good portion of it was obviously fluid n that so I won't b expectin 2 ave any more big losses like that.

Sam's doin really well now thanx, well enuf 2 b keepin me awake at nite! lol! Here's a wee pic from this morning, he was sittin nice as u like while I was eatin my Weetabix!

I either get the Tesco Light Choices hot choc or the Weight Watchers 1 when it's in Poundland. They'r both 2syns each but then so is the Options hot choc which is nice 2, I get it if its on offer sumtimes. My tip is 2 add a splash of milk 2 it, like if u were makin a cuppa coffee, it makes it taste more like "proper" hot choc if u kno wat I mean. Sumtimes if I'v enuf HXA left or a spare 1 then I'l make it totally wif milk rather than water n then it's extra special! lol! I don't really ave much of a sweet tooth or eat much actual choc but I do LOVE my hot choc! :heartpump:

I ave a confession hun - I'm not cookin most of these meals! TBH I spent every spare minute before Sam was born batch cookin n stockin up my freezers so I ave loads of chilli, enchiladas, lasagne, cottage pie, stew, various soups, etc. without that I kno 4 a fact I wudn't b stickin 2 plan as much as I am. I'm lookin 4ward 2 getting back 2 proper exercise 2 tho cos that'll help my loss as well. I'm just walkin at the mo altho so far tho I'v only managed 1hr every other day or so. I'l mayb try sum pilates next week if I ave time...
