Notice on her recent post she references how breakfast and lunches are quick on the go options? What’s the betting that’ll now be the reason she’s gained weight? She is starting to prepare to cover her tracks! But like you say she must be having high calorie intake to be gaining so rapidly (especially with breast feeding doesn’t that burn cals?!)
Yes you have to make sure to eat enough/more when breastfeeding - but she had the weight all back on long before she ever got pregnant. She’s only showing herself now because she thinks people will really believe she only put it on during pregnancy

First post but just had to say I’ve seen that pic and she has put on every single one of those 9.5 stone back on. :oops:
Wouldn't surprise me if there was a and more involved too and she'll use pregnancy and the birth of the boys as a poor excuse.

Did make me laugh how she said she's been reassured it's normal to eat that much and she's not greedy. 🙄

It’s a common misconception that breastfeeding burns loads of calories. It’s really hard not to eat more because it does make you hungry and it’s an easy one to justify to yourself eating more so your milk doesn’t suffer. In reality, exclusively breastfeeding burns about 500 calories a day, whilst I accept she has two babies to feed it wouldn’t be double the calories as their tummies will still be very small. I stopped loosing any weight when I was breastfeeding and soon figured out that that coffee and muffin that I had got into the habit of treating myself too mid afternoon was making up the calories I was burning and stopping me loosing any weight.

Ultimately breastfeeding is not a miracle worker when it comes to weight loss, lots of women put on weight AFTER they have their babies due to sleep deprivation and increased appetite/reduced willpower!

Sorry to go all mumsnet, but I see so many people saying it burns LOADS of calories and feel it’s a public service announcement to just clarify so people don’t get a shock in the future 😂

I don’t have children so I don’t know how it all works but makes sense!
 
unfortunately not for the majority of those who have dieted time and again. if you're in the 5% that have managed to maintain a weightloss for 5 years or more then that's awesome but please allow me to introduce you to several pieces of reading you might want to take the time to read.

www.self.com/story/why-diets-fail/amp
this article by a PhD in nutrition links to some of the research also,its a really good read. I found it hard to take in at first but it's all there.

I can dig out some of the others too should you want more.


but robbie you're only at 6 months, we are talking about long term and for the majority of people keeping the weightloss off long term doesn't happen. that's not taking anything away from your ir anyone else's success of losing, the losing bit is the relative easy (if you can even call it that because its bloody hard work) part,its maintaining the weightloss following the exact plan that you were given to lose the weight in the first place.

you simply cant follow it the same way, you have to adjust what you eat again. as a target member I remember it well,being told to just experiment with adding extra b choices so that I wouldn't gain any more weight but the following week being told to reduce them.

further research from Linda bacon (perfect name lol)

Sorry but don’t belittle me with ‘only 6 months at target’
I have struggled all my life and this is a huge achievement- I’m happy with how the plan works and fits in with my lifestyle.
I do know I can increase syns or cut back, increase extra choices and eat free food sensibly.
This plan has taught me more about eating and cooking from scratch and not all processed food.
If you have nothing nice and positive to say, jog along like I do incorporating exercise regularly into my lifestyle

I disagree with saying if you’re large you’ll always be large but I think it depends on how you arrived there.

My dad put on 3 stone,probably just a combo of portion size and retiring and not being as active. There was a big family wedding and he cut back on his portions and started going on the exercise bike and lost it - this was 10 years ago and he’s maintained. He’s 81 and likes to be trim. I think of this as your fopperholic school of gain/loss. He was fairly briefly large as the result of his lifestyle in that time period and sorted it out.

Then you have the people like me and jsg. I’m at my fattest now and am in the overweight category,need to lose 2 stone and I’m currently working on it. I have done this literally my whole adult life because I am an emotional eater. I’m just too vain to allow it to go by a certain point. Food is my vice. We are the people who will most likely always struggle to maintain because it’s a mind problem rather than a food problem like my dad . He wasn’t eating because he was stressed or sad or because food was the biggest pleasure in his life. I binge eat and love the feeling of being stuffed.

I think you'll find I said that I dont discredit your hard work or take that away from you we were discussing maintaining weightloss over a long period of time.

talking about that is not negative,its positive thing accepting the risk factors of tears of cyclical dieting and what it does to the body and brain. research articles were even attached.

you've taken that negatively and defensively and said Ive belittled you. I have been EXACTLY where you are and I've been where I am now several times over. I'm just in a different head space. it taught me to cook from scratch too but you have to see it from the other side of thi gas of those who have suffered long term and not that honey moon period of the first 12 months after hitting target

you're discrediting what I'm saying as negativity against you. its nothing to do with you personally and I said well done on your hard work.

again I'm not saying if you're large you'll always be large , it's about what cyclical dieting does to you long term, the majority of us yo yo forever more and end up bigger than when we started. it trains our brains to binge and purge, to restrict and crave, then in turn from that it becomes psychological on top of anything people may have had going on emotionally anyways.

as I keep saying this is the majority of people. some people lose it and keep it off long term,some will lose it for a while and then put weight back on. I will never discredit anyones hardworking in making that effort to lose their weight, I will always just provide the information for people to understand that it's not their fault of and when the weight starts to gain.

hope that makes sense.

Here she goes with her ADs! It’s not clear at all, where’s the paid partnership at the top? Where’s the caption starting with AD? She makes my blood boil.

And there's the justification re her non-AD. Hiya JSG!
That’s hilarious! Just because it’s on your stories Jen doesn’t mean it’s a CLEAR AD on your post. Also, you bought the pots at the start of August, and we’re meant to believe they randomly approached you and asked for you to work with them? What a coincidence :ROFLMAO:

EDIT - scrolled back to July and surprise there is an AD post for the same pots.
 
I used to have a big insta account and I know for a fact that she may have purchased them on her amazon account but they’d either have sent her a voucher or a code so they be free of charge.. so no she hasn’t bought them... OPPO ice cream did that, sent ‘influences’ vouchers for free tubs.

Totally agree with this. People who have a blip and add on a big of weight will scale back and be back where they where and maintain it. Fopps is a perfect example, got a bit chunky once at uni 20 years ago and has been peddling it ever since.
JSG obvs has some deep rooted issues with food and yes you can lose the weight but unless you truly deal with the underlying cause the weight will eventually go back on.
Me and hubby always enjoy getting a bit chunky over christmas but by a few weeks into jan that extra half stone will be off.
It's the crazy SW that get my blood boiling. If you need to cut wraps up to make fake doritos or attempt to make haribo out of jelly and yogurt then you're not dealing with your food issues.
