    Pregnancy How much lost/gained when expecting

    I am 29 weeks pregnant and I have struggled a bit with sticking to plan. I started sw before I was pregnant but gave it up at around 11 weeks at 19st 2lb due to constant nausea and sickness and I found it hard to find things to eat on plan that didnt make me sick. I rejoined again at 20 weeks at...

I am pretty much the same, I found that I cant help but to weigh each morning but I only use the weight from my saturday morning weigh in and the rest of the week I use to keep me focused. For me its basically making the best of a bad situation because I will weigh myself...
