mdbabyno1`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Ok, I`m thinking about doing weight watchers. I NEVER thought I`d be one to have to join but ever since I stopped breastfeeding the weight seems to creep up. Before I got pregnant I wanted to loose 15 lbs, I only gained 17lbs during my pregnancy, lost it all plus 7 lbs in the first month after having baby and now I`ve gained the extra 7lbs and some. So, has anyone done weight watchers when they had about 25lbs to loose and did it work? Otherwise I need to just get smart, eat healthy, and exercise.

YES! I love weight watchers and I still am in it as a lifetime member. I lost 55 lbs and really it was easy. They teach you lots of ways to eat healthier and the right portions. I loved it the only down fall is it does get expensive, but after I had my son me losing weight ment more to me then the money! I for sure would say to go to the meetings they are very beneficial and I dont think I could have lost so much without going. They say you lose more weight and faster by attending meetings. Good luck!!!

I lost 56 pounds on it between aug-april but I would say going to meetings is a must.

I did it before my first and lost about 15lbs...which was 10lbs. away from my pre-baby weight. Then I got pregnant again after my baby was just 8 months old. My plan after this one is born is to follow Weight Watchers again and workout with a personal trainer. WW is easy enough to do and like someone mentioned...the meetings helped me. I need someone to hold me accountable!! :)

My cousin did it after she had her last baby and went from a size 16 to a size 4. She looks amazing, better than she has in years. I think if I`m struggling with the weight a few months after having this baby I`ll be joining too.

my friend tried it and lost 20lbs. But shes not cheap(i am lol) and even she says its expensive after a while. If you have the money go for it!! Good luck

i love weight watchers. The first time i was on it (pre baby) i lost about 45lbs. Then i did it again after baby #1 and lost 35lbs, then got pregnant with baby #2 and i am currently down about 12lbs. I have a while to go. But i love it b/c 1. it has taught me to look at food differently and 2. it gives me accountability. I love the online now, but the meetings work best if you can go! more accountability :-) Good Luck!!

  1. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  2. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  3. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  4. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  5. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  6. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  7. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  8. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  9. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  10. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
