I must be the only, or one of the few people that doesnt want to lose ALL of my pregnancy weight. Before i got pregnant i was a little on the thin side, ive never been able to gain weight.. you might read it and think oooooh your so lucky but when your ribs are poking out abit, how not hot is that in a bikini?
So far i have lost over a stone..naturally. I havent done anything. But i need to tone, and lose abit off my thighs for me to be happy, and able to shop for new clothes again. Im not rushing though.. i think people make that mistake.. you gain this weight over nine months.. everywhere i read says it should give just as long to lose it. Im trying to limit the crap i eat though.. and do a few stomach toning exercises. I guess the rest will come from running around after a baby. I may start jogging again, probs not though and horse riding if i get the time but other than that, im not going to push it.
More important things to think about and all that.. ooooh and the stretchmarks?? its also true when they say they wont matter once your little ones here.. it was his home :) and if i think that everytime i get down about them.. i'll be fine. I even joke with craig about my jelly belly.. when i laughed that first day after having him (had giggles ever since my waters went lmao) it shook and sounded like a water bottle.
Saying that, im already down to a size 8 with a flat but not yet toned stomach so i cant grumble anyway.
If anyone else is trying to lose the weight, my advice is to do it over time. Enjoy your baby, their only little once.
