I checked my weight again

29/02/08

I had 9st 3lb - 58.6kg; my height was 5' 1.8'' - 1.57m - BMI 23.7

02/04/08

I had 9st 0lb - 57.0kg; my height was 5' 2.2'' - 1.58m - BMI 22.8

I lost approx 3lb - 1.6kg in a month

is that much

I wouldn't say that was a lot, but then I've always wanted to lose weight.

Also you seem to be at quite a healthy weight for your height, I know the minimum I can get down to at Weight Watchers for my height (5' 6") is 8st 12lb.

the print out from the scale states, I can get down as far as about 46 kg in order to still have a healthy BMI

I weighed myself obviously with clothes, so I think I have to deduct another kg for that, but then I still would have about 10 kg on storage

so, I think I do not have to worry to much, but considering I will keep on bf, I possibly will continue to loose weight

Hi mickey

I had/have the exact same problem as you. I lost a stone in 4 weeks BF my two. Very scary at the time and I found that I didn't get an awful lot of sympathy or understanding. It seemed to stabilise out at a stone under what I was pre-PG which I think is far too thin for me (size 8 and 8 3/4 stone)

I stopped BF Charlotte nearly 3 months ago and Tom nearly 2 months ago but I've only managed to put on a few pounds so far. Up to 9 stone.

I ate as much as I possibly could while I was BF even taking bananas to bed with me for a snack in the night cos that BF made me hungry! LOL! HV suggested making myself some calorific smoothies but I didn't really have the time to faff with that. I found it hard though because I have a healthy diet and it's difficult to change your ways to remember to eat biscuits or something to add easy calories.

I weigh myself when I take the children to the clinic to be weighed to keep an eye on things. I felt that way the HV also started to take me seriously when I insisted each time on being weighed.

Good luck. Keep your eye on your weight.

now, I start my day with a big bowl of musli containing nuts as nuts are supposed to have a lot of calories

like this I feel much more energetic during the day
