Walking
"It has taken me three years to get back to normal but I am back in my old clothes now. What I used to do,
when my daughter was very small, was put her in the pushchair at naptime and walk with my headphones in, listening to music,
once or twice a day for 20 minutes. Gradually I got back into exercising twice a week, but that took me a year or two!" Fiona
Weight Watchers
“Put on three stones while pregnant and another stone while breast feeding now starting to see a huge
difference by just eating regular meals that are healthy and not snacking all the time. I am trying the online version as
it was hard to get to the meetings, have found it really helpful so far” Michelle
Breastfeeding and walking
"Breastfeeding, breastfeeding and more breastfeeding - it's amazing how the weight dropped off without doing
anything! Oh, and brisk walks with the pushchair. And not having time to eat properly." Jill
Breastfeeding and aqua aerobics
"I put on 3.5 stone with the first and had lost all but 5lb by the time I got pregnant again. I also did some
aqua aerobics which was great but I think the breastfeeding was the thing that made the difference" Sarah
Walking
"I've also been going on 1-2 hour walks every day. Not been too careful with food, have chocolate most days,
but been eating loads of good, wholesome home-cooked meals since she was born. Put on around three stone while I was pregnant,
got about ten pounds to go to pre-pregnancy weight." Janet
Rosemary Conley's 'Lose a Stone in a Month' diet"
"I'm losing the weight by following the Rosemary Conley 'Lose a Stone in a Month' diet. It's working really
well and I'm doing loads of walking with the pushchair." Rachel
Eating right
"You know what the best way to lose those baby pounds is, just by eating low-fat healthy foods. I gained 3
stone the first time and 5 stone with my second pregnancy but lost all the weight within a few months just by eating sensibly
and not cheating." Honey
Slimming World
"I'd gone up to a size 16 after having my son and then got back down to my size 14 within about six months.
At the moment, I am following Slimming World (which is just sensible eating) but can't make the meetings as I haven't enough
time. However, I am now down to size 12." Trish
