OK, so my extra tonnage isn’t exactly as a result of being pregnant, but I am carrying an extra 6 stone since adopting The Witchlings. I am calling this my baby weight. I am also keeping this journal to keep a record of how I am going about shedding it.  I hope my Losing Baby Weight Journal will be useful to other mums who are trying to shed those extra pounds.

If you are breast feeding please note that even if you are desperately keen on losing baby weight, plenty of high energy foods and a calcium rich diet are still advisable. For the time being, I am going to assume that you have been a mum for slightly longer.

This is how day 1 went.

  • 28g of Porridge made with 125ml of semi skimmed milk (from 150ml allowance)
  • Glass of sugar free squash

The Witchlings have breakfast at the same time - bowls of cereal and toast (which smells too good!)

  • Lunch time - Couse Cous salad made with Cous Cous, carrots and onions, dressed with Soy Sauce.
  • Very Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt
  • More sugar free squash

Made it through the afternoon to about 6pm and then had to have something to eat! Made Polenta and baked beans. Yum. These are free foods on my eating plan so no guilt - Yay!

  • Dinner with the Witchlings and Tobes - Created fabulous noodle dish with Quorn pieces, stirfry and tomato paste. Added fresh chillies, black pepper and soy sauce for extra kick!
  • 2 glasses of water - it was a very big kick!

Spent the evening helping the Witchlings with various bits of homework - ‘Mum, I need to write a biography of a famous person. Can I do Doctor Who?’

  • Snacks after the Witchlings were scrubbed and in bed
  • Cadbury Highlights Hot Chocolate with 125ml Semi Skimmed milk added to make it extra creamy
  • 28g of Island mix - like sweeties, only better for you!
  • More water

Went to bed feeling very positive (and full!) having worked out that if I lose just 1lb per week, I could have the weight all off within about 18 months!

That’s day one under my belt, stay posted for more of my adventures and advice on losing baby weight.
