ok put on 60 pounds during my pregnancy, my little man is now 6 months old and have lost 30 pound of it but still need to loose another 30 pounds and recently I have become a yo-yo dieter loosing one week gaining it back the next so I have stuck at 158 for the last couple of months.............I hate being this size and the warm weather is here and not being able to wear my size 6 clothes is so depressing, I live in my hubbies old stuff as I hate the waste of buying new when I really just want to loose the weight, I also feel if I buy bigger clothes it is like saying I will never be slim again.........Never had probs after pregnancy before to loose the weight, it always fell of during breast feeding.............My DS is a hungry baby especially as we haven't started solids yet, so it is not him not shifting the weight it is my bad days, at present I am into my 5th good day and this morning weighed in at 156 so I have lost 2 pounds this week, hurray! It is just staying out the cookie jar........I cook all my own food, eat about 1,500 a day spread into 6 small meals a high protein diet, and no carbs after 6.00, I include about 6-7 portions of fruits and vegies a day and also 3 helpings of dairy low fat for the calcium such as yogurt or low fat cheese, i eat loads of grains and take multi-vits.............so all looks great miss healthy until I slip and binge eat for a few days.........I exercise, yoga and swim, I have a goal my hubby is in Iraq until the 25th of August he has never seen me fat unless pregnant, I should just be happy for him to come home and see our son, but the insecurities have set in he will not like my wobbly bits, but I have time to loose the weight before August I have about 16 weeks so I could loose the weight at the rate of 2 pounds a week, so please I just need help to stay on track and have somewhere I can be honest about my food issues, the binge eating has got to stop it is crazy to be doing this in my mid-40's I am developing food issues I have never had in my life before.............wobbly bits..........

I just made myself this ticker and you know it made me realize that I am half way there( I did that all on my own) and I can achieve my goal funny what seeing a ticker can do to your down mood! Anyway hi to all would love to chat to other newbies or oldies or anyone for that matter !
