BANDA Ladies Against Baby Bellies!!

Right ladies it's time I lost some weight and I can't afford to join weight watchers at the mo so I'm starting my own online group here. I hope at least one person joins me otherwise I will be here every week berating myself for eating a whole pack of jaffa cakes again then crying coz I have put weight on instead of losing it I will look a right nut job so PLEASE someone join me - even if it is only to poke me with a great big stick and laugh at my wobbly bits!

I've honestly never been on a proper diet before so I'm not entirely sure how I'm gonna go about it so any suggestions welcome.

I will post my weight every week with a pic as evidence so I can't tell fibs if Ive had a bad week. I don't have scales so will probably be a pic of the wi fit screen. If anybody wants to join me in doing this please feel free but dont feel you have too either - just pop on here for some encouragement.

So ladies - who is joining me in BLABB???

Ok.... I am not quite ready to be joining you (8 weeks away yet), but I will join now so that I can get some tips ready for when I need to get rid of my baby belly.

First tip... I find that you can still eat most meals, just smaller portions.... this is what my biggest problem is. I like to eat until I burst!

I'll join you. I'm doing weight watchers atm. I don't have scales but i'll post pics of my weight watchers card with my weight.
Are we going to have a day where we do the 'weigh in'?

[quote="ShellandImmi"]Are we going to have a day where we do the 'weigh in'?[/quote

That sounds like a good idea!

When I have had baby I will be weighing myself weekly on the wii Fit to see how I am getting on, but am happy to start weighing myself now... GULP!

x

I think Friday is a good day to do it, I am probably more able to be 'good' during the week than weekends so by Friday I would hope to show some sort of change. What does everybody think?

xx

I have done ww and sw.. and sw is the one iswaer by and to this day i cooke very much similar to sw.. i agree its not what u eat its the amount .. good luck everyone trying to loose weight xx are we gonna set a weigh in day ?

yea fridays is good

Friday is good. shall we all post weight tomo then.

Ok... Friday it is

Yeah I will dust the wii fit board down and put some new batteries in it and post tomorrow

xx

ok.. well i know im 12 stone 3lb

You lot are going to lose weight and I am going to be stacking it on for the next 8 weeks! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have just done a pregnancy weight gain calculator and it says I should have gained approx 2st 2lb by the end of the pg. I started at 8st 12lb. So... as long as I get to my due date and am approximately 11 stone I will be happy.

We will see where I am at tomorrow.

(btw, im not taking this seriously until after baby is born for obvious reasons - in case anybody thinks I am on a diet, im not, lol!)

x

Right so Friday is weigh in day and we have to post pics as proof! I might not be her tomorrow becuase I'm going out with a friend so I will admit to weighing 14 stone . I was 12 the day before i had Ollie so I must have done some serious comfort eating (might be my addiction to kfc lol)

Debs when we get all the weights in maybe you could put them all on the first post then add how much people have lost, hopefully it will bring out my competitve side and spur me on lol

I have just weighed myself as we are out for dinner tomorrow night.

I weigh 10 st 13lb

X

i will join....but i'll probably keep forgetting to log on here!!

i'm not on WW or SW, i just watch my calorie intake and workout 6days a week...but apparently i've been eating too little and burning too much!(eating 1200cals, burning 1600 through exercise!) so i'm changing it up and actually forcing myself to eat more...which btw is really hard for me as i'm obsessed with my weight

anyways i currently weigh 157lbs(11st 3) having gone from 178(12st 10) in the last few months xx

Same here! I cant weigh myself tomorrow though as I have no scales atm but will go and buy some asap!! When I first got pregnant I was nearly 17st! Last time I was weighed at clinic about a week ago I was 15st 6!! So the best diet for me is the Morning Sickness Diet!!!!

Once spud is born I will be back on the Slimming World plan as that works for me!

Im joining. Lats Jan I weighed 13st 5lb and got down to 10st 8lb on SW. I then got married and went on honeymoon and when i got preg i was 11st. I weighed myself this morning and im 12st 10lb. Im currently a size 14-16. I would like to get down to 10st 7lb by my hols to Spain next June so have 2st 3lb to lose!

Maybe we could have Slimmer of the Week to egg us on too? How are we going to do it? Have a list of weights and amounts lost? Debs are you going to be in control of the weigh in?

First thing im going to do is try and cut out bread for the week. Im gonna make loads of nice healthy meals in my new slow cooker!!

x

Can I join too please! Friday is good! I'm at college tomorrow day, should we be sticking to the same times? I.e am or pm? Obviously I like my weight a little more in the am lol!

I can't post pictures I use my phone xx

I think we should do it in the morning I also prefer my weight then lol

Right ladies here ya go:

As you can see Im 14 stone (check out the +2lb too and the huge OBESE tag )

3 years ago when i met oh I was 11 stone and wearing size 10/12 and was happy with that. I would love to get back there but I really don't see it happening - my body shape has changed completely too so I'm aiming for 11 1/2 by next August.

I went up to 15 1/2 stone when I was having Thomas and only got back to 13 before getting pg with Hannah. I was 17 stone 3 the week before I had Hannah so have lost 3st 3lb so far but have hit a real stand still. I'm serious about it this time though!

I WILL WEAR A SIZE 12 WEDDING DRESS!!!!!

I will add all our start weights to the OP and will update weekly with how much we have LOST!!! (apart from Laura and Kinky who will be gaining for a little while but just think of the huge loss the week your bubs are born ). I will also add the 'slimmer of the week's name to the post title for all to see . So if you want your name up there in lights ladies, step away from the dairymilk and stick to the salads hhhmmmm? I think this is gonne be easier said than done .

xx

good luck to every body trying..i will b at work all day today..so i stating mine is 12.3lb .. ihope to have the 3lb off by next week x

I have been to my mums this morning and she has scales so I popped on to have a look and I am 15st 5!!!!! I normally take my shoes off but kept them on today and have still lost weight!!!

I am having a very random pregnancy!!! I am sure I should be getting bigger not smaller!! When I got pregnant I was in a 22 and now I am buying a 20 or 18 in maternity clothes, so have dropped a dress size too!!!

Can my weigh in weight today be counted even though I forgot to take a piccy!!

Good Luck everyone!!

course it can hun. Wish i had lost weight in my pgs instead of the 4 stone i put on with each

xx

I would love to join in with you guys 2 but I really dont want to put my weight on as I am way heavier that all of you ( But I have started goin 4 a mile trek round the lake and it takes me 20 mins (is that good I dont know?) But I donlt mind putting what pounds I am currently

Is that ok or should i just shame the devil and tell you all the horrific truth

Tara hun - do whatever you feel comfortable with but we are all friends here and nobody will be judging anybody. For me personally to show you all my weight will give me the kick i need to do something about it but if you're not comfortable with it then just tell us what youve lost each week.

Us ladies come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, I've always been on the heavy side, I am convinced my bones are made of lead. Put it this way - my goal weight is 1/2 a stone heavier than Laura's actual weight at nearly 8 months pg the last time i was under 10 stone was when i was 10! At the lightest I have been since 18 I was 10st 4lb and I hated myself, my boobs went, my face was gaunt and I really didn't like it - the weight I feel most comfortable and confident at is 11st but I'm being realistic and setting my goal at 11 1/2.
