I have lost my motivation, I had lost a stone in 6 weeks I am currently on 15mg but stopped while I was on holiday, I have just weighed my self and put on 5lbs!! also I have an 8week old baby boy who isnt sleeping and feel tired all the time. I havent started on the reds again yet as they make me feel hot and sweaty so was going to wait for it to cool down, does anyone think I should wait or start right now??. Really would appreciate some feed back.
I think you should hang fire and enjoy the warm weather with your son - there's time enough to get back on the reds when it cools down and he's sleeping a bit better.
If you can watch what you eat, that's great - and make the most of the warm weather by taking him out in the pram and walking (exercise and getting him some fresh air)
Enjoy being a mum for the rest of the summer (all 4 days of it!) - time enough for the reds later!

hi bgbumps, i agree with Rachel, maybe having a break will give you back your energy to look after the little one. also maybe your body will be more sensitive towards the reds again once you had a break. i am in a similar situation as you are, started with 3.5 kg weight loss with reds 10 mg in the first 4 weeks and the second month i put on 3 kg - i'm on my 3rd months and gp perscribed 15 mg - it seems to have reverse effect now - i am binging all evenings and weekends!!! i am so de motivated and scared that i will never manage to get rid of my excess weight! however it's nice to find support and people with same problems here good luck!!
Rachel and Cocoon for your advice, I am starting back on the reds today. I feel if I dont then I may put more weight back on, so I gave myself a talking to last night and decided to go for it!!.
Your messages spurred me on...thankyou. I know im in the same boat as everyone else and this forum really helps.
I like the feeling of losing weight as I feel in control of my life, after having a baby 8 weeks ago I feel disgusted with my body and I need to crack on and not be weak, as I know I feel and look so much better with the weight gone.
