You probably remember back at the beginning of January, I did three blogposts about the three steps of my mission to finally shift the baby weight, using the Thinking Slimmer SlimPod, the MuTu System and Jenny Craig. Well, you may be wondering how it's all been going so I thought I'd give you a bit of an update.
Thinking Slimmer SlimPod - I came to this as an absolute sceptic back in October, convinced that listening to a 10-minute mp3 once a day, even falling asleep while doing so if you want to, couldn't possibly have the slightest effect on your eating habits or help you lose weight and, if I'm honest, quite looking forward to writing some scathing blogposts saying how it was all a load of old tosh. Then I started going off diet coke and chocolate, getting strange urges to run around in the park with the kids and ... eeek ... actually losing weight ! I lost 5kg in three months before adding in the MuTu System and Jenny Craig so that can only be down to the SlimPod, and I've lost another 3kg since, so a grand total of over a stone. I haven't actually listened to the SlimPod for weeks but I think I might start again, listening to the Keep Losing Weight SlimPod that came in the Lose 2 Jeans Sizes or More mp3 package. I still don't see how it could work but have to face facts and say that it undoubtedly does ! Once you've listened to it for 21 days on the trot, the effects are long-lasting even if you stop listening to it regularly. (Scroll to the bottom for some fab discount codes, if you want to give it a go yourself.)
MuTu System - I did this totally seriously for the first month or so then got a bit overwhelmed with everything going on at home/work and have kind of fallen off the MuTu System wagon at the moment. It's a 12-week programme to help you lose your mummy tummy and sort out the damage that your pregnancies may have caused and, I have to say, I think it was working. My stomach definitely feels tighter (I'm not talking wobbly tums, I'm talking core muscles !) and - even if I say I've dropped out - I'm still doing the basic core movements because you can do them while cooking dinner, standing at the bus stop or queueing at the bank ! I've been following the food and positive outlook advice too so I haven't totally failed. I am determined to get back to this properly when things have calmed down.
Jenny Craig - I'm coming to the end of a month's trial and I'm sure you can't have missed all my blog posts showing you what you actually get to eat. I was impressed with the quality and taste of the food, didn't feel hungry at all (which could also be the SlimPod effect) and was really chuffed to lose 3kg. I am getting bored of eating prepacked food all the time now though and it seems a bit lonely eating different food to everyone else all the time but it gives you great training on correct portion sizes and is ultra convenient. Don't forget that Jenny Craig are currently doing a half price offer on their 2-week package - check out the website at http://www.jennycraig.co.uk

I need to lose a bit of weight (quite a bit actually!) but can't afford anything so I'm really trying to do it with willpower but it's really hard, in fact I am currently eating Rolo's while typing this!!
