It needs changing...my new date is 29th August. We are unsure regarding gender, if today's appointment is anything to go by baby won't keep still long enough lol! We are tempted to find out, but also think a surprise would be nice. Did you find out?

I'm not quite sure about the answer. But calcium is in loads of foods, not just cheese and milk. It's in loads of veg etc. how many healthy extra's are you supposed to eat?

Well my midwife told me today that my iron levels were PERFECT and very high which is good. She asked me what I do to get them so good lol! I said....well it hey are high I'd hate to know what t feels like when they are low lol! Hope your feeling more energetic today!!

Photos are from 2nd scan that's why they are not very clear and also I kind of feel happy we got 2 scans and extra long ones. I could have watched all day.

Wow! That scan was the most incredible and amazing experience of my whole life. Jiggling and wiggling around. So I went in and waited 40mins and needed a wee so bad. Then I went in and he found baby right away and confirmed there was only one. Phew! I could see the little heart beating away...

You look great! Hope your feeling more confident and sexy :)

Wow! How amazing! How much did you lose?

Wow! Such a HUgE loss! You have done great!

Wow! You look fab! Great inspiration!

Well done! Such an amazing transformation! Be proud :)

Good Luck All! Stick to plan and you will lose lose lose :)

I agree the recipe section on here is good and usually there are tips from other members :)

Emotions......I finally have some. I have cried at some random stuff lol!! Thanks Hun!

I actually don't think you can help the tiredness. When I had my bloods done at my first appointment my iron levels were perfect so I know I am eating the right stuff and my energy is fine, I exercise which is supposed to help, I get 8hours sleep most nights. The tiredness is just completely out...

I felt fine all of yesterday but struggled to sleep last night, so did the hubby. I NEVER struggle to sleep. Dunno it's is excitement, nervous, anxious, scared or a mixture of all. I'll post my scan photo later :)

I don't have time to update my food plan for today and yesterday but a quick update on how I'm feeling. My scan is tomorrow and I feel really nervous and emotional about it. Half of me is excited, happy, I've been wanting this for 9 weeks and it's finally here. The other part of me I scared...

My friend gave me a Doppler from when she was pregnant. It's called 'sonoline b' dunno how much it cost her originally. I found a heart beat straight away at 9 weeks. I tested a few times since and it was hit and miss whether I found it, almost always found it on a full bladder. Now I'm 12 weeks...

Just read that you have seen your doc. It does feel like forever. I have had my scan booked for over 4 weeks. I'm 12w3days and all I have wanted is my scan and I can't believe I only have 2 days left. I'm super excited. I have heard the heart beat which was AMAZING it felt way more real to me...

Mmm KFC! I do love a good KFC but not had one in a long time. I've been craving pizza or something tomato and cheesy like lasagne or cheese on toast. Not sure if it's a craving or whether I just feel like eating it. Told the hubby to pick one up on the way home and we will have the pork tomorrow...

2 a's and 2b's on EE And the same amount of syns as you usually have on EE So you can have up to 15 syns per day. Unsure about red and green days

Omg! Is it normal to just cry for no reason. I'm not an emotional person tbh, I don't cry at films and I never really cry. Just had a right good sob! Feel better though!

Sneaky buy. Couldn't help myself. So cute.

Scan photo is brilliant and such a cute baby bump. Nice and neat :)

Hiya! Congrats! That's a huge loss!! Prenatal vitamins are gross. I got the tesco ones, with omega in and I think they smell like fish lol! At my midwife appointment I got a free pack, with some healthy start vitamins in and also some seven sea vitamins, both 2 week samples and both taste nicer...

Day 1 12weeks1day I felt really sick when I woke up this morning so the hubby went downstairs and got my some water and a crumpet (5syns) and philly (a). I felt much better but didn't get out of bed for 2 hours. By then it was 8am. I keep getting up at 6am desperate for a wee....it's so...

The only thing I noticed with my periods when I lost weight is that they became regular. Every 29 days it would show up without fail. In the past when I was obese they were so irregular, it was hard to keep track. Maybe see the GP regarding the period pains, not sure what they can give to help...

I lost a lot of weight in the past, I used to run and exercise even when I was obese. So even though I was fat I was quite fit and healthy, so I never really noticed any health changes with weight loss. Although I'm guessing cholesterol etc would have gone down. The main think I felt was...

Yes it is my first, we wanted a baby for 3 years but we have had lots of holidays and places we wanted to visit then we got married last year. We planned to start trying after Xmas but got a bit carried away in December and it was a complete surprise to find out I was pregnant a week before...

Ooh Congrats :) I have my scan this week but won't know the gender for another 2 months yet. So I can read your diary and see what is to come :)

Thanks Hun!! I need to look up veg with calcium in. I looked up online and there is no info on red/green during pregnancy...only EE. However on green you can have cheese as a B choice. So if I wanted the calcium I could have say B - Bread/Porridge B- Cheese A - Milk A - Cheese spread of some...

My main thing is making sure I get my calcium. In general I don't like milk/cheese much. Since being pregnant I'm trying to fit it into my day. So I made porridge with milk instead of water and I'm having moussaka tonight, which uses my A allowance. Obviously there is calcium in my pregnancy...

Yup and sometimes the weight loss isn't always increased but the inch loss is the main thing. People notice inch loss. If you lose 5lbs and no inches...what's the point.

I know our allowances are increased to 2 a's and 2 b's Is that in all plans. I like green days, which is usually 2 a 's and b's anyway. So does it stay the same still? Thanks

Erm.....I felt okay until I was 6 weeks other than being tired. 6 to 9 weeks I felt constant nausea with no sickness. Then after 9 weeks it went and I was so happy. Then last week the nausea is back worse than ever and I've been sick maybe 4 times. Been exhausted the whole time. This week...

Thanks :)

Hi!! Here to follow. I'm Due end of August so hopefully your diary will show me whats to come lol.

Hi here to follow!! How many weeks are you? I'm 12 weeks today and looking forward to starting slimming world today and my scan :D

Hello!! Here to follow. Love reading everyones elses experiences and food :D

Hello Everyone! I have come to join you all. Im 12weeks 1 day and so excited and also very scared. I'm doing slimming world online. I'm a first time mummy :D I am confident I can face all that comes my way in terms of being pregnant and I'm also not that scared about labour. I just think of all...

Congratulations Hun! I'm starting slimming world today. I'm 12 weeks! I wish you luck!! :)

Hello all, I'm 12 weeks pregnant today and my due date is 31st August. I'm really happy and can't wait. I have been fairly relaxed with food for these first few months because I haven't been feeling my best. My priority has been to eat healthy and not worry too much about the gain. I have...

I eat lots of fruit and I find it must easia to snack on than veg. I'd much rather have an apple then sit and eat carrot sticks. I guess it depends on what people call excessive fruit eating though??

I always find the best way to speed up weight loss is exercise. Which is the answer nobody wants to hear. Obviously it is good for you body but mentality I think it helps me to stay on track. I don't think exercise is really promoted by slimming clubs as they know people hate it...but I'm just...

Anyone read this. Worth spending 77p?

Tomorrow I begin; Body Revolution by Jillian Michaels. I think it's an easier version of Insanity. Well I hope it is. Insanity was crazy. I think exercise is key for a healthy body :)

Does a fit it just calculate how many steps you so in a day? What makes it expensive? Surely it does more?

Sorry to just jump in here but where do you guys buy your nut butters. I know holland and Barrett do a range, but I've not seen the supermarkets stocking them.

I just use the 1/3 rule on all plans. I don't always have time in the morning to sort out chopping fruit etc so if I have cereal (b) and milk (a) and no sf I always eat a piece of fruit as soon as I get to work. Which I class as my sf. I think green plan is great. I appreciate the extra healthy...

I'm pretty relaxed about it all. I stick to 15 a day. Then if I have a meal out and go over, I just eat less syns for the next few days. I find the stress free approach works best for me. Maybe not the best approach for a new member.

TBH I think them sort of comments come from people insecure about their own weight and your success makes them feel bad about there own inability to lose weight themselves. I get comments like that and that's my observation.

When I went on my honeymoon this year I ate so much food and put 4lbs on in 2-3 weeks. Then when I got back everyone kept saying I look like I lost weight. I joked it off and said it must be my tan. But previously I lost 2 and a half stone and no one noticed. I'm 5ft9 so I guess it takes...

To be honest I wouldn't worry about it. 3 chips isn't going to ruin your diet and you did well to stop at 3. You could just syn 1 syn per chip? Although it is probably less than that.

Is the sauce different in the fresh compared to the frozen. I know that tesco light choices lasagne has a frozen and chilled version. I think the chilled had more syns. It could be the extra preservatives they put in to keep it fresh??

There is a Houmous dip that is free on green and ee. I love it, you can dip any veg or fruit in. Chickpeas, lemon, garlic, red pepper blended - it is really tasty. It will be on the slimming world website I am sure.
