The Weight Plateu (by sarah)
Well when I came out of hospital I was 13 st, the following week I had lost 3 pounds, then by last week I was 12 and a half stone - today I am still 12 and a half 
I have reached my first weight platue
But on the plus side this is weight loss with just breast feeding and shuffling around the house abit but mostly sitting breast feeding or sleeping. Come Monday I feel that my wound will be heeled enough for me to attempt walking with the crutches. I did another outing and this time did not see stars or go sideways with dizzyness on route to the car though I still got very very tired after a mere half an hour driving in the car. The wound is still weeping a little but feels much better so I really feel that I can tackle walking (with crutches) if the anemia will allow it.
I will start with our drive way and progress to going for coffees in Cheltenham. I am hoping that some walking everyday will not only help the seperated pelvis but also help me reach the next weight platoe.
In fact I have a things fixed in my head as a progress for the fitness and weight loss. First off in another two weeks I will be able to start physio. Depending on how my wound is by then I will be able to go swimming and start pilates. However I feel that starting all these things at once will take up too much time and money plus more importantly make me very tired having gone from nothing to everything so I am going to stagger it. I am going to wait to talk to the physio over what to do first.
Eventually I want to take up belly dancing but that I think needs to wait until the crutches are gone. It is also rather expensive so may have to be instead of pilates and swimming or something.
Anyway - expect more moaning about weight.

I was going to say are you not being a bit harsh on yourself? Many people struggle to lose weight after pregnancy anyway, nevermind with all your health complications.
I am amazed you have lost case in the first place, what with you not being able to walk!
I am sure that once everything has healed nicely the weight will drop off as I can see you going on hikes and all sorts once you are mobile again!

The trouble is the more weight I carry the longer it will take to get the mobility back but I am breast feeding so I'm not dieting but eating 'well' so the breast milk will have everything in it the baby needs! Plus I need it for wound repair.
I just need to keep goals in mind other wise I'll just slip into apathy like I did after Jeany was born.
