Fashion Friday – on almost reaching my pre-baby weight
On the two occasions that I’ve been pregnant I’ve gained a significant amount of weight. Not for me the neat little mini-bump, oh no. With Little Main I gained 3.5st (49 lb) – well to be honest I stopped looking at the scales at this point so it could have been more – and we all know that baby is a teeny amount of that gain. I lost a fair amount of it by last Christmas but really wanted to tackle the remaining pounds and get back to my pre-baby weight again.
And I’m pleased to say I’m almost there! Only 2.5lb off my goal weight and this weekend I managed to fit into this pair of size 10 super skinny jeans from Boden. I was so delighted that I had to have a photo to celebrate the occasion.
I love these jeans. They’re actually much more comfortable than you’d think as they’re very stretchy and soft. The tobacco colour is classic but I also have a pair in Hibiscus which is a fab bright red just perfect for Spring, especially with a blue and white striped Breton top. On this occasion I paired them with a simple light blue shirt (made for me in the fabric market in Shanghai when we were in China) and gold sparkly flats from Next.

Well done. You look fab. How have you done it. I need to loose the baby weight
Super stylish, and well done you. You look fabulous. Popping over from #FashionFriday.
Well done gorgeous, you are looking beautiful! Baby weight takes time but doing it healthily is the best way-swoon! Thanks for linking up to #fashionfriday
Well done for getting so close to your target weight – I bet this time next week you’ll actually be there! Your outfit is awesome, love your jeans (love Boden generally!!). xo PS found you via Mummy’s Got Style!
Aww thank you! Will pop over to see you in a mo
Thank you Vicki! You’re so right, healthy is the only way and slowly too otherwise I just yo-yo up and down. Might write a post about this…
Thanks Katy! I love these jeans too and the red ones are fabulous, if a little brighter than I usually wear! Fingers crossed re next week…

I have never been pregnant yet but heard that is can be a challenge to get rid of all the baby weight.

Thank you! Not quite there yet but having a whole new wardrobe again makes it all worthwhile
It really is a FANTASTIC feeling to be able to use ‘normal’ pre-baby clothes again
Isn’t it just! It’s like having a whole new wardrobe without spending any money
Heck yes it is! Well, it was for me. Some women are lucky enough to shed their excess pounds almost overnight it seems but for me it’s been a hard slog. But I’m proud that my will power has been strong enough to help me achieve what I set out to. Thank you for visiting!
well look at you looking all glamorous! Love your ‘diet’ description in your other comment, nice and simple as it should be. The maths is simple calories in – calories out. But people do try and complicate with all sorts of exclusions etc.
Thank yoooo! *Takes a bow* I agree and lots of people have made squillions out of exactly that complication. It’s actually a simple equation + will power. It’s the second part that’s so difficult…
Looking stunning! Love the outfit and well done on your loss, it takes a lot of will power to really stick to a diet/exercise plan and make it a success so huge kudos to you!
Thank you! I’m still a work in progress, falling off the wagon is soooo easy, but I’m really proud to be where I am now.x
