I was 210 when I got with dh, I am 5"9 and was a size 11 but have played sports all of my life so most was muscle with a little pouch. Then I miscarried in 2011 and gained a shit ton of weight maxing out at 267 and wearing a size 14/15 pants I am now 10 weeks preggo and about 263 im hoping not to get more than 285 this pregnancy. I will be dieting soon after I give birth and hopfully I will be able to breastfeed. I dont think im ugly lol but ive had my better days. I wouldn't dare put a two piece anymore lol

That's how I was - I was 185 and solid muscle, then over the year I have gained a ton of weight. Topped out at 277 a few years ago and got back down to 230, and now I'm at 240 and a size 16/18. I don't think I'm fat - I'm tall (5'10") and I have a lot of muscle, and I have a bigger build to begin with. I wouldn't be wearing a two-piece either, but I sure don't think I'm ugly And my hubby loves me so as long as I'm happy and he's happy I'm OK.

But I sure don't want to gain 100lbs LOL I am going to try to actually not gain more than 5-10lbs by just staying on my cardio regime and eating super clean. Then I'll still be gaining weight, but losing at the same time to get healthier. So I am hoping that I won't gain much, but get healthier for mine and the babies sake.

I'm about 260 at 5'2". I have a belly but it doesn't really stick out. Now that I'm about 7 weeks along, I find it harder to suck in, and I may look like I'm about 4 months ago and I don't want people thinking that lol. If I would have known I was getting pregnant any time soon, I would have been trying to loose weight again. I got down to 225 in the past, but nothing less.

Yeah I went for my 9 weeks check up and lost a lb lol was better than gaining I suppose. Im wondering if ill ever even show, I want a bump to badly lol. I should probably get some maternity pants soon because im sure ill get some bloat within time lol

I am down a kg this week (2.2lbs) - I have been trying to stick to 1500 cals and well from the food groups

I'm heavier this time around than I was 9 months pg with my girls. Of course that was between 15-22 years ago. I actually was a size six when hubby and I met and have gone up to a 14/16 over the past couple of years. I'm worried about gaining a lot, but just doing my best. I'm starting to feel a little better and able to eat more healthy. For several weeks mashed potatoes, pasta and carby foods were all that would settle my stomach.
Good luck to everyone! We're so much more than what the scale defines us as!!

I love this thread.I was 140lbs pre pregnancy with my daughter.I never lost the weight with her so this pregnancy I started out at 168lbs.I have what I call a "frumpy bump".I would love for it to be cute and round like it was with DD1 but I'm not to sure it will happen.This is me at 22 weeks 177lbs.I'm really hoping to get back to 140lbs when this pregnancy is done.I already want another though

Does anyone know of a safe and healthy way to lose weight during pregnancy. I am currently about 30 kgs overweight & I was a size 12 the last time I fell pregnant. Puttig on 30 kgs got me here, over the last almost 3 yrs i would lose weight then gain it just as quick.... I just happened to fall pregnant at this weight and I am really worried about gaining too much this pregnancy. I am already watching what i eat. Any tips?

 

[BlueMoonBubba]

This is me in 2010 I was 33 weeks pregnant with DS I was never a small girl but here I was 17.8 stone!! I've put on 5.5 stone in the passed 3 years from god knows what I'm not even a big eater!! And now I'm scared to put on more with this pregnancy

My cousin lost 50lbs while pregnant, and she said it's all about eating right and healthy portions, and exercising lightly when you feel up to it!

Thank you expecta! yes I definitely know its possible, since the day i found out i have consciously been making much better food choices. i think putting on 30 kgs with my first has scared the bajeezers out of me and i will do anything to avoid that this time

 

[donnarobinson]

I'm defo going to try and eat healthy x

 

[mama2connor]

I am plus size, but I've lost 6lb in the past week as I'm doing slimming world. I have decided that just because I'm pregnant, I'm not going to use that as an excuse to pig out and eat what ever I want. I'm happy to continue with slimming world throughout the pregnancy and I'm still eating really well but just healthily. I'm 14st 12lb at the moment and a size 18 - 20 x

 

[donnarobinson]

Do they let u join if ur pregnant ? Or do u already have to be a member b4 u fall pregnant x

 

[mummy2o]

I know with some they prefer you be a member before you get pregnant. I'm currently with Rosemary Conley and weight right now about 24 stones. I managed to lose to before I got pregnant. I was planning on telling my instructor wednesday but the car broke down. Its now fixed, so hopefully will tell her tomorrow.

 

[Nat0609]

I was going to suggest Slimming World too. I joined after having my son. I was 9 stone when I got pregnant with DD and was 11 stone 5 lbs after having DS.

I lost 1 stone 5 lbs with SW, they let you be a member whilst pregnant as long as your GP/Midwife agree it is safe.

The beauty of SW is that you can eat certain foods all day long if you wish so baby will be getting all it needs xx

 

[wishingalways]

I know exactly how you feel donna. I was 13 stone when I fell pregnant with my son 10 years ago and put on 4 stone weighed in at just over 16 after birth. I joined weight watchers and lost 5 stone in a year, a bit quick I know but I broke up with my partner so was determibed to loose the weight. I met my husband at 11 stone but got down to 10 stone and kept it that way for over 5 years, I had not been that slim since school, we went through ivf and I put on a far bit of weight during the process then got pregnant and now weigh 13 stone 11 pounds, ive lost a stone since giving birth 6 months ago but with being 3 months pregnant im petrified I will put on the same weight and then be huge again. I know my husband loves me but I hate being this way and know he would not want me to be this size forever although he would never say that or ever imply it. I am going to try and not eat rubbish and biscuits this time round but its hard at times. Xxx

donna, I joined the day before i found out i was pregnant but i spoke to the lady who runs it and let her know i was pregnant. I asked if it was safe to carry on throughout pregnancy. She said yes, absolutely. She sent me a pregnancy pack out in the post which i have to give to my midwife to sign. She said if the midwife is happy for me to loose weight through out my pregnancy then they will support that the whole time. If she wants me to maintain my weight that's fine also and will they will still support me as much as they can to help me maintain. I'm only 5ft 2 though so i'm small but big. I have a feeling the midwife will be happy with me to carry on loosing weight as it's done healthily and it's not as if i'm depriving my self of anything. x
