Hi there. 4 stone? Thats amazing! WW is fantastic and I was loving pro points but now Im just petrified of putting it all back on. I know its for a good reason
I was determined this week to eat better and today I just couldnt face anything decent so I ate cake and crisps! Ahhh.

Its gunna be really hard! I'm just gunna think about all that hard work i put in to losing the weight, and i'm only going to try and put on what is healthy for my current weight. I'm not going to diet because i know that's not really healthy. We just need to be good! x

Making tuscan bean soup tomorrow, need to start eating more veg now I am feeling a bit better. Just need to ditch the crisps and find a better savoury snack alternative, any suggestions?

Hello ladies,

How is everyone doing weight wise? I'm still putting on! Now 9 weeks and have put on 10lbs!!!!

I'm a bit scared now because I know that your not meant to put on much in the first trimester! Wouldn't be so bad if it was just 1lb a week but I know that when I get to the second and third trimester I'll be putting on more than that!

I put on 3 stone with my first 13years ago and never really got it off! Xxx

Hi Tizy

I got weighed last Thursday and I had put on 6lbs. I was gutted!!! I think I have put on more since then as I am on holiday from work and not in my normal eating routine. I just want to snack all the time. I am really going to try and knock it on the head and get back into exercising as I have done nothing for a week. My friend said I will put on 4 stone by the end and I nearly died!! I am hoping it will be 2 stone max as I already had 3 stone to lose. Its awful really because I feel like I should be able to just relax and enjoy this time but I can't x

Hey girls. I weighed week before last and Id only put 5lb on not 8 but then I weighed on Sunday 9+2 and Ive now put on 8lb for sure. I thought OMG I have to stop eating the crap foods but all Im craving is potatoes and crisps. Roasties, boiled, mash, jacket, wedges I cant get enough which isnt like me as normally I dont eat much potato. Im 14 stone again now and Im worried Ill balloon in Tri 2

Solstice.....Butternut squash. Slice it into crisp shapes and oven cook for about 20 mins on 170. They go like crisps, kids love them and so do I. No fat, yay.
Also, Kings Velvet Crunch. Theyre a bit like snack a jacks but not as dry and cardboard like. The cheese and chive ones are lush. Tesco do them in 6 packs and I used to have them on WW as theyre low fat and salt.

Hey

I know what you mean about potatoes - well carbs in general! I always had a problem with crisps but its out of control at the minute. I wish I could say the same about fruit..... I am hoping that I will level out in 2nd tri when the placenta takes over but maybe thats wishful thinking lol x

 

[Tizy]

Amitootold I know, well I'm at the upper end of the bmi scale at 29 bmi, so it says I should only gain between 15-25lbs, but if I had been just slightly higher at 30 bmi, I can only gain 11-20lbs!!!! Eeeek I've already put on half of that!

The thing is I know my body and it is prone to weight gain easily! If you've only put on 6lbs thats not too bad as you are allowed to gain up to 5lbs in the first trimester. I need to start walking again, I've been really lazy recently

But I'm with you, we really should just try to enjoy being pregnant and as long as we're eating heathily then its not such a bad thing. Xxx

 

[Tizy]

Ooooh Cherry, I am totally with you on the carb thing, mine is potatoes and bread - soooo yummy especially toast with melted butter! I'm just under 14 stone now too, was 13.2lbs before , but this is scary as i've never been this heavy.

When I had Holly (I was 19 years old) I was 10.5 stone before hand and 13stone by the time she popped out (after birth weight!) So I must have put on more than 3 stone. Now because I'm starting so much heavier, If I do that this time I'll be huge!

Think I'm gonna have to post a pledge each day and stick to it! X

 

[Cherrybinky]

I was 13.6 thanks to WW and when I weighed on SUnday I went into panic like OMG OMG Im 14 stone already lol.

Carbs, yum. Today, I havent felt hungry so I had chilli crisps and 3 crumpets dripping in butter and philli cheese with marmite earlier :s oops.

I have a BMI of 32 and midwife never batted an eyelid although because we have diabetes in the family I have to be referred at 21 weeks just in case.

Are any of you girls on Facebook? Im Rachel Spavold on there and use it allllll the time lol.

 

[Tizy]

Cherry (Rachel) thats my middle name - funny!

Everyone, I've just joined a group on FB that someone from BnB started, its called 2011Bumps seems like quite a nice group, with peeps from all trimester's so we can all share advice and stories, maybe give it a go! X

 

[Cherrybinky]

I shall go join now Its a shame this thread keeps disappearing down the pages and I lose it

 

[amitootold]

I want to join the bumps group but no-one knows I'm pregnant yet and I'm scared if stuff appears on my wall my cover will be blown lol Might have to wait until after my scan..... I will friend request you though Rachel next time I am on x

I have a BMI of 32 and midwife never batted an eyelid although because we have diabetes in the family I have to be referred at 21 weeks just in case.

Mine was 32 aswell. Eep! My midwife recommended I have the GD test at 20 whatever weeks too. Been on my Easter holidays for two weeks (I teach) and fell off the healthy-eating wagon some days but am now back on. Wishing I wasn't such a blob. I actually want a bump now so I look pregnant as opposed to just overweight!

 

[Cherrybinky]

LOL me too weglet, I tried on loads of maxi dresses the other day for summer but just looked like a fat whale in a sack. They were awful. Thankfully Ive now found 2 and I breathed out and I looked 6 months gone!!!

 

[Solstice_3]

Just added you Rachel and sent a join request to the bump group too

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks for the request I just accepted I'm on my Blackberry till I get home tomorrow so not been on here much over the weekend xx

hi, i'm not pregnant - yet. but i just wanted to say that with my 1st pregnancy i went from 9 stone 4 pounds to 15 and a half stone!
i had really bad nausea for the 1st 4 months and had to eat constantly to keep it at bay, tehn my appetite was huge cause i was so used to eating so much.
i was 12 stone about 2 or three months after having baby, who weighed in at 9 lbs 4 and a half ounces. ouch!
i have since had 2 miscarriages and after the last one i can't stop eating. i now weigh just over 13 stone. the most i have ever weighed, without being pregnant.
i really don't want to put on loads of weight when i do get pregnant again so a group like this would be a great help.
xo

 

[Jennifaerie]

So sorry for your losses HollyRose. Can I join? I'm a comfortable 16. I lost 26 lb last and pit around 8 back on before my bfp. I think iv gained a few in pregnancy too eep
