Hi rach,

Don't be downhearted, we have all been through the feeling that this damn waist will never slim, your body goes through so many changes when you have a baby and I am sure your son has brought you so much happiness and love that it has all been worth it.

It is all about confidence and self belief, eat a helathy balanced diet and find an exercise regime that suits you and get your partner if you have one or a caring friend to look after your son for you, even if it is just an hour a week, so you can stick to it.

Let me know what you plan to do, and I'll hold you to it Wink

Thanks astrid, nice to meet you, the support if really important, thank you.

So, my big plan to get fit this summer:

-Eat more healthily - more fruit and veg, from tangerines to cauliflower. Not totally vegetarian but much more veggy stuff and a lot less red meat and package meals.

-Stick to exercising. I have a pilates DVD and i go fro a quick walk 3 times a week. I will ask my friend to look after my son at least once a week to make me stick to it!

I'll let you know how i get on...
