Can I join too please ladies??

I'm Chele and preggo with number 2. I have yo-yo'd for years and was finally getting it under control when I got pregnant again.

I was 16 stone 6 when I got pregnant with Max and around 12 and a half stone when I got pregnant with Chichi - September last year I decided to take drastic weight loss action and do the Cambridge Diet. I lost 4.5 stone on it and was almost at target when I got my BFP. unfortunately I didn't reintroduce food in stages because I thought I was having a miscarriage and so the initial weight I gained is what is normal when you finish a diet like CD and don't reintroduce food properly. So I gained around 12lbs the first 10 days. Sounds shocking, but it's normal. Since then I have gained around 7lbs which is not good, but I just think I'll worry about it once Chichi is here

I want to do SW again and am interested reading on here you can do it whilst pregnant. TBH I think I might give it a go.

All I've done since getting pregnant is eat crap because I just haven't fancied anything and def not fancied anything healthy.

I luckily only put on 11lbs with Max and knew weighing 4 stone less I wouldn't put so little on, but then again I really want to try and gain as little as possible and then try and lose it all and more next year.

Hey Chele, welcome *waves*

Whats the Cambridge Diet? Chichi is a cutesie name I personally dont like SW but Ill be straight back on WW after Xmas. Ive been eating healthy but also crap so its balanced out. I think my problem is not what Im eating but the amounts of it and the portion sizes. Today Ive had crumpets for breakfast, sandwich, crisps and fromage frais for lunch then a HUGE fresh salad for tea with feta on and then at 7pm I was craving a burger so I cooked one off and had some crusty bread with it! I feel guilty now lol

[chele]

I'm too ashamed to say what I've eaten today

Cambridge is a total food replacement diet like Lighter Life. No food just three shakes or soups a day with the help of a diet counsellor. It's hardcore but it works for me. Well 4.5 stone in 4 months says it all

I've done SW in the past and done well. I like WW but find I don't change my eating habits cause I buy WW treats like their brownies whereas on SW I am good with my syn allowance

Thanks for the welcome btw

Another big cheese off of mine is my shape. I have a Bshaped belly and always did with my first
Now 4 stone lighter I still have the B and pregnancy actually makes it stick out more so that really cheeses me off that I don't look pregnant when I am
Pregnant, I just look like a weird shaped fat person

 

[Cherrybinky]

Morning all.

Chele, Id die if I had to do those drink things LOL. I admire your will power. I like WW Pro Points because you can still eat cake, crisps and alcohol and as long as you stick with the points you lose. I recommended it to my friend Terry on Facebook and hes lost 84lb in 9 weeks. Im so very proud of him. he does go to the gym as well now and swims and looks amazing.

Well, Im sat on the sofa and I actually look like I have a small bump but when I stand up and let it out it just looks like wobbly fat LOL.

Ive had to book Drs this morning for my allergies so will get a prescription hopefully and its freeeeeee. I went into Boots yesterday for some advice from the pharmasist and the ladies in their were super rude to me and said pregnant women should see a Dr about allergies. So, I shall go back this morning and shove the FREE pregnant ladies' prescription in their faces!
HA

84lbs in 9 weeks?!!

I love my free scripts now. Ive been for my free dentists too - was ace not having to pay, i did have to scout around for a nhs which wasnt a total joke. All the ones round here seem to be in ppls front rooms, no thanks. I want shiney windows and a nice receptionist.

Im having problems with a tooth tho, pre preg I had one filling and they said I might need another but see how i went, might be able to repair it if i flossed etc, no idea how that works, I didnt know teeth repaired themselves. now obv the calcium is being leeched out of my body so its super sensitive and i have a massive mercury filling in there and they cant take it out til after 12w, then theres a risk with the injection... no way im having it without injection tho. will have to go as long as i can with it just being coated in this stuff.

Ive found nhsdirect quite good for advice re meds, its crap saying go to your dr - mine cant get me in for a fortnight and by then the problems probably passed.

 

[Cherrybinky]

Mistake lol. I've just checked his Facebook and its been just over 13 weeks now. He was a HUGE bloke so it will slow down eventually. He's done amazingly and looks completely different.

I'm having tooth problems too Cranberry. I joined an NHS dentist when I moved to Leeds and hadn't been to one in about 5 years. I've never had fillings or teeth out and I'm petrified of dentists. However this one seemed nice and its a posh place. He said I needed 3 pin head fillings which I braved and my teeth haven't been right since! They're ultra senstivie (even before I got pg) and are now so bad I can't eat anything cold on one side of my mouth and the otherside is getting the same way! He told me to use Colgate sensitive but its crap!

[cranberry987]

theres some new toothpaste which coats your teeth in stuff - its the one on the advert where ppl rub it on their teeth and go ooh thats amazing. also they can coat your teeth with some stuff to help with the sensitivity.

 

[Tizy]

Haha - this comment made me laugh!! - its the one on the advert where ppl rub it on their teeth and go ooh thats amazing!!!

It was the 'ooh thats amazing' bit

Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thats the one I have Colgate Pro Relief LOL. Ive also tried the Sensodyne one. Theyre all shit. Even my dentist said that advert is not realistic as rubbing it on your teeth would not cure instant sensitivity like that. He told me to use it for at least 6 weeks and its not helping me at all!

Its 25 degrees here today and the strap on my maxi dress broke so Im in jeans and a Dot Perkins loose top. I cant stand the heat!

I made £40 on Ebay selling all my old bits of crap costume jewellery in small bundles! WOOP

 

[cranberry987]

Nice one I eBay stuff but can never be arsed with small things. Rly should tho as it al adds up

I'd go back get them to paint stuff on your teeth. And if they're crap find a new one. Its free!!

 

[chele]

Chele, Id die if I had to do those drink things LOL. I admire your will power.

It was a last chance thing for me. Amazing what you can do when you're finally in the zone. It was hardcore but I made it through.

 

[chele]

Those toothpaste adverts make me laugh. Does it really work just like that?

I made my first ebay sale the other day. I'm a complete novice

Good news - I phoned my SW leader and she's really happy about me starting. I start next week. Woop woop!!!

I really wish I'd looked at the weather report today. I have black clothes, black thick legging type jeans on and a long sleeve shirt thing. I'm proper melting! Is it going to be like this tomorrow?

 

[cranberry987]

its gonna be quite warm through the weekend I think, good news as Im going camping woo!

Ive got the toothpaste and can 100% say it is not like omg sensitive, put a bit on your tooth, oo its cured. It has lessened, but I also had this coating thing which the dentist said would take a few days to work, so I dunno which it is. Its quite expensive too.

 

[Welsh_mum2be]

Hello, i have been stalking this thread for a bit now! I am uk 20-22! I have a question I am 6 weeks and convinced my belly is getting a rounder bump like shape! Anyone had this or am i going mad? Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

I had bloat from about 5w - gained two skirt sizes even tho I lost weight. Totally possible to be bumpy even now

 

[Cherrybinky]

Its bloat hun, I can guarantee. Water retention and wind probably I thought I had a bump and was excited. Im now 15 weeks and still dont have one
