Hmmm...I had no maid (and I live out in the middle of nowhere--it takes 20 minutes to walk to the nearest Wellcome and we don't have a car and there is no bus that goes there) and I breastfed. I sure wish I could say I was thinner now than before I got pregnant. Just goes to show how everyone's metabolism is completely different.

I envy anyone who can say it wasn't that hard to lose weight. Right now I eat an extremely restricted diet, exercise and am really active--walking all day, every day and on my feet and of course the mommy stuff of chasing after an active kid and I still have that darn 15 kg to lose! But, with the weight watchers thing, I'm totally anti-synthetic sweeteners because of how harmful they can be to the body so I don't think I would be up for WW.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the synthetic sugar thing and WW. But...I'm finding that I really like stevia and its "250?300 times sweeter than sucrose, heat stable, pH stable, and non-fermentable." I really like to bake and right now I'm trying to find stevia in powder form for baking. I have it in concentrate dropper form. It's 100% non-caloric and it's not synthetic. Does anyone know where to buy powdered or grain stevia in HK?

I gained 22kg during my pregnancy! I weighed myself when I got home after 5 nights in hospital (I had an emergency c-section) and I had lost only 7kg and felt so miserable (hormones probably added to it) cos I still looked about 5-6 months preggers. But after 2 months of sleepless nights (and days), exclusive breastfeeding and household chores I had shed another 8kg. Weight loss plateaued at that stage and I thought, the rest ain't gonna go without exercise to burn the fat. Then I found out that my baby's eczema could've been partly attributed to a dairy allergy so I went dairy-free on his paediatrician's advice, which is such a difficult thing to do because so many food items have dairy products in them. Out the window went chocolates, biscuits, cake, pate and even some types of bread because some bakeries use milk powder in them. It's unbelievable how many things contain dairy products even if it's not apparent. I stopped eating Western food in restaurants because of the use of butter/cheese and ate only Chinese/oriental food if we had to get food from outside. But mostly I did the cooking... and lost another 5kg in 3 weeks! Now I'm only 2kg over my pre-pregnancy weight - I think that's the limit, though.
