Bellys to Bumps

[Lil_Pixie]

Hi Regalpeas

I got pregnant after losing two stone - We'd beed ttc for almost three years and nothing else had changed so im sure it was the weightloss that helped us!

Right - ive set myself a target of 43 lbs to lose - that will make me 9st 13lbs. that'll still be over weight but single digits would be lovely!! I'm really struggling to get my head back into it right now - im still not eating well but im so so tired, i just grab anything i dont have to cook and im never managing to eat more than twice a day.

Hopefully i'll do better once ive been shopping and i can stock up on quick healthy options.

I've always wanted to run, but i cant even run to the end of the street

i like doing the fitness programmes on the TV, think it'll be 12 weeks before i can do those though - Cran arent you supposed to not excercise for 6 weeks or something?

happy monday everyone

ran across this thread in pokin around my name's Brandi (everybody calls me B, though!) and im 28, significantly overweight.

Hello RP glad you found the thread welcome!

twinkle bless you I feel like that when I have been running, i look like a big red tomato aswell! well done for going running tho!!

lil pixie did you notice a change in your cycles as you lost weight?

I think I'm going to get gym membership... the only problem is you have to sign up for a year and i dont think i will be fancying the gym whilst in the 2ww after IVF or if i get pregnant.. håkans going to go tonight(hes a member) and ask them if we can postpone the membership if we get pregnant.. the problem with that is the lady that owns the gym is a family friend... i just hope she doesnt say anything to his family... oh well if he asks her not to i guess she wont, it would be very unprofesional if she did!

Hi Brandi and welcome

 

[EmmyReece]

Oh crikey, I need to be checking back in here more often. Hi to all the new faces

Ladies, it's just a very quick update from me, I had weigh in this morning and the scales show that I've lost about 2kg since starting slimming world last week I did have to double check them a few times, firstly with extra clothes to see if they increased at all (which they did), and then I moved the scales around the room to make sure it was the same on each place I did it and it was

We're off to do food shopping in a bit, but I will be back later to catch up on journals etc

 

[lovie]

well done emmy great loss enjoy food shopping

back to the boy/girl talk, my OH beleives we will have a girl, when he dreams about us having a baby he says its a girl he sees, i dont know how he'd know because id dress a boy and girl the same as babies... id like a boy, there is just something so lovely about little boys, im not into the girly fairy pink things so much.. id try my best if i had a girl that liked all that fairy princess stuff...

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Lovie I did see a difference in my cycles - when i was at my heaviest they were all over the place, some cycles were up to 10 weeks long. as i lost weight they went down to 28-35 days. i imagine if id have carried on losing they might have evened out even more any maybe got to the point where they were mostly the same length, i cant be sure of that though.

hopefully by the time my period comes back i'll have lost more weight and it wont be so much of a factor anymore. then maybe it'll be back to ttc!

 

[lovie]

Thats great that the weight loss helped you cycles so much! Mine have allways been 28-35 days oh How I'd love à regular 28 day cycle!!

 

[skyler28]

just popping in to say hello to all

i have had a day at university today so am mentally tired lol but im gunna walk up the big long hill to the leisure centre in a hours time for my swim.


I hope this weightloss marlarky ends up with a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG fat bfp lol because its getting right up my nose now lol only took 9 yrs for it to annoy me i must have the patience of a saint lol


another thing i was pondering today is i am diabetic will i have a massive baby lol my sis in law is diabetic also and her last son ( she has 5 kids lol ) was 10lb 11 born he looked more like a toddler

 

[twinkle1975]

Flipping heck, that is massive!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I think cran had GD do she'd be able to tell you more about that but my diabetes test was excellent and my baby was 9lb 15! I think if your gonn have a big baby there isn't a whole lot you can do about it - at least if your at risk for having a baby with a high birth weight they can monitor you x

 

[lovie]

10 pound 11!! I hope she didnt buy any new born clothes!

well done you lil pixie growing a big healthy xander! were you expecting a bigish baby? how tall are you if you dont mind me being a nosy mare! me my brother and sister were all bigish babies 8.5 pounds ish.. but all within 1 pound of each other even tho we have different dads, my mum thinks its to do with how tall the mum is rather than the mum and dad... she has some funny ideas tho!

marmite on tooast for tea! oh i love marmite on toast!!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've heard loads of theories like that! One mw did say she wouldn't expect a baby that big to come out of anyone less than 5ft 8 so maybe your mum is right!

Lol I'm 4ft 11! No wonder he got stuck!

 

[skyler28]

i told her to buy age 2 -3 yrs when i saw him he was a boster i call him oompa lumpa lol

 

[cranberry987]

I had gd yep and had a 6lb 11 baby. Just gotta control your levels and there's no reason you'll have a big baby apart from if it's just gonna be big iykwim.

The growth scans are almost useless. Mine showed him as being 50-55th% throughout and he came out around 12th%. My last scan was two days before he was born so really there's literally no point scanning. There's supposed to be a 15% margin of error which is obviously nonsense

 

[lovie]

I guess there is just no telling how it's going to go, when i get my bfp i don't think i will be buying many newborn clothes as my little sister was in 3-6 month babygrows by the time she went home from hospital, she was only in for about 4 days

 

[skyler28]

was just a thought as im already diabetic on injections so wondered if been preggers made your diabetes worse. the thought of a big baby is making my eyes water lol

 

[cranberry987]

Urgh. I need some motivation to stop snacking and eat properly. Have these cake bars from asda and they're gone in 3 mouthfuls and I could probably have a piece of toast instead but sill I eat them! Whyyyy.

Maybe I should just throw em away. Also have an entire Xmas cake which I cooked and we didn't eat.... Would be tragic to throw it without trying it at least.... Gah!

 

[cranberry987]

Your sugars will most likely go up in pregnancy but if you're on insulin you just take more until you're in target. Easy peasy

Hello I'm new here. My name is Sarah.
I posted a new here intro earlier. I definitely need to loose weight for a better pregancy
I had my son young and went back to normal weight which was 135 lbs. At 18 I gained 25 a year for 3 years despite balanced meals cooked by mom.
I have managed to go up and down being under 200 when dh and I started our relationship and under that in 2005. However I am current around 256.
I have. Great program to log online and going try home workouts and the gym. I have a membership. Used to swim lots but since cycle is so wacky (bleeding 18+ days)swimming is difficult. Glad to see there are others for support
