Sarah, I'm 5'4" around 240lb. So yes, very very overweight. Technically I'm morbidly obese! I know that a fair bit *is* actually muscle, as I easily lift 20-40lb dogs all day long (a single dog I pick up from ground to the table, lift to the bath, lift back to the table, lift down to the ground again. Minimum. Multiply that by 8 dogs a day and I lift a lot in one day!) and am fairly active all day even when not lifting dogs (ugh, some of them can make themselves weigh a ton when you need to get around their feet or something! lmao!) and stuff, so I KNOW it's not *all* fat... but I also know one heck of a lot of it is!!! I supposedly need to loose 100lb to get into the 'healthy' BMI range....!
Although in saying all of that, I've lost a few kgs (6.5lb) since my BFP! I was trying to loose a little before the BFP; eating better and walking some more, and I've continued that (though not walking so much, it's getting cooooolder here! It's autumn now) but also I've been eating waaaaaaaaay less (and I don't eat heaps as it is, honest!) so it's been coming off slowly. I'm not worried about loosing some weight at this stage, I really do have plenty to loose! I know my weight will stabilise further through the pregnancy as bub grows, my blood increases and there's more fluids and everything, but I hope that I won't gain too much, if any!
I've sorta given up on having a healthy 'weight', when I'm fairly healthy in my body. I'd like to loose some size, but for now that is no longer my priority; my HEALTH is, not my size or weight!
bahahahaha, Chuck Wagon!? lmao! That's awesome. hahaha.
And welcome Dew! There are two others still TTC in this thread too, so yay for another for us to cheer on too! heh. GOOD LUCK hun, I hope the rough time doesn't drag you down too much..

Sending you heaps of PMA & babydust to you, Sarah & NDH!
