How wonderful!
Well, not the awful labour part, but the Lily part.
I hope you're feeling sufficiently recovered from the trauma to be able to start enjoying her.
We do need pics, though. As I'm sure you will know!

Hey, you're not meant to lose that much that fast.
Not fair.
I thought we were having a competition - but that's just ridiculous!

Haha sorry!! It's got a lot to do with the big baby AND the fact that caring for the stinker in the first few weeks means not a lot of time for mummy to eat!!
I had horrible stomach cramps every time I ate too so wasn't too good. I'd be very surprised if I don't gain this week now that I have my appetite back

Yes, how sore I am reminds me just how big she is!! Haha.
I'm breastfeeding which is supposed to help with getting back to prepregnancy weight, she is a hungry baby though and seems to be on the boob all day!!! So if all is fair then I should be another two stone lighter by next week ?

No - that would NOT be fair!
You're already no doubt a couple of stone ahead of me.
No more cheating!

Right then!
Friend of mine started SW a few weeks ago and is going to an actual class (I've weighed from home since I can remember). In the interest of a fresh start and to catch up on changes, etc I may have missed, I am going to join her.
Not sure how long that'll last as i still think it's a lot to pay if I end up not staying for the group session, but we shall see!!
So WI will now be a Monday. Weekends have always been a struggle for me but that was due to having the routine of work keeping me in check (and away from the kitchen cupboards), now that I'm on maternity leave every day will be like a weekend in a sense so it shouldn't make too much difference. If anything, more time at home should make me have the time to eat better (in theory) or Lily will keep me so busy that I won't have time to snack on rubbish.
What I must avoid is missing meals and ONLY snacking on rubbish when I get a chance (usually whilst breastfeeding I can reach some biscuits or chocolate!!!!)
OH is back to work tomorrow so im going to be good today but not strictly SW, just cut out the biscuits (!!) and start properly from tomorrow when our routine can start
