Hello Ladies, I am one of your motivating mums and I have lost 4.2kgs* with Lose Baby Weight.
At the time of writing this update I am two and a half weeks into my post second pregnancy weight loss journey, having started on 28th December 2015. I did not want to wait until the New Year so I started straight after Christmas.

So far, everything is going so well. I have finally found my mojo and it is so great to be in this headspace.
I had a few days last week where I was feeling negative and wanted to give in and give up but I didn’t let it get to me, I moved past it and by persisting, this made me stronger and spurred me on to keep going.
I have been sticking to my January pledge to eat well with no unhealthy takeaways or unhealthy meals when eating out and no soft drink, cake, chocolate or biscuits.
I will be honest I have had a few naughties- A small piece of cake as Grandma bought it over and I was not yet strong enough to just say ‘no thank you’; 2 x chocolate coins of my daughter’s Christmas Choc because my twins had taken 5 hours to go to sleep for the night and I just ‘had’ to have it; and 2 x biscuits from hubby’s lunch biscuits because they were ‘just there’.
Although I have had these, that is probably only about 1% or less of the amount of bad food I was eating before now and so I am so very proud of how I have gone this month.
I have found that my cravings have really subsided and for now it is getting easier the longer it has been since I have had something naughty to eat.
It has been great knowing how much I should be eating per day to achieve weight loss.
From the Lose Baby Weight BMR calculator, I am to eat about 1960 calories. You can get an idea of how many calories you need for your age, height, current weight and current activity level here
I reach my calorie target each day by having cereal for breakfast, a Healthy Mummy Smoothie for lunch and a Lose Baby Weight meal for dinner from either the 28 Day Challenge recipes, the 28 Day Meal and Exercise Plan Book or the Lose Baby Weight website recipes.
In between those main meals I also have morning, afternoon and evening snacks consisting of things like boiled eggs, carrot and celery sticks, yoghurt, almonds, pieces of fruit, air popped popcorn.
I also pledged for this month that I would drink 3l of water everyday which I have been sticking to and to exercise a minimum of 3 days a week, one which I have actually surpassed.
The 28 Day Challenge exercises have been fantastic to use as a quick but good work out. I have had to modify a lot of the exercises to allow it to cater for my injury but I still find I am working up a sweat and it gives me a good work out.
I’ve also been going out for a walk when it hasn’t been too hot outside.
So to my results:
This morning I weighed in at 111.6kg, down from 115.8kg. This is a loss of 4.2kg in two and a half weeks and I am very proud of myself!
