Slimming down to have a baby?

Sometimes I think it is just me. Is anyone else slimming down pre pregnancy? Would love to get a group of us going to help each other towards targets.

xx

I'm losing weight before trying for our 3rd and last baby. I'm 51lbs down with 13lbs to go until target and then we can start trying next April. I didn't lose the baby weight between the first and 2nd pregnancy and hated the way I looked and felt post giving birth so I promised myself I wouldn't try again until I had lost every single pound.
How much do you want to lose?

I have another 21lb to lose before I am going to come off of contraception which will leave me about a stone and a half to final target which I plan on doing whilst pregnant/try to conceive. I spoke with my cosultant and she told me about a lady who started when she fell pregnant and lost 4.5stone through her pregnancy so post pregnancy she was a massive 6.5stone lighter that pre preg. I plan on following SW throughout and if I lose I lose... But will try my best not to gain this time round. You have done very well so far! Your start weight... Is kind of my dream weight! Lol xx

Thank you , I had a break from slimming over the summer as life got in the way but so far it's been really easy.
You will have that 21lbs off really quickly if you stick to plan. I joined in October and by December was nearly 2 stone down.
I came off the pill a couple of months ago and it's so tempting to say let's just try, but I had horrid spd with my second pregnancy and gestational diabetes with my first (escaped that the second time) and although neither condition was weight related I still want to be as healthy as possible, especially with 2 other children to look after.
How are you finding slimming world so far?

Pretty easy so far. Although this week I just want to eat everything in sight! I had SPD too... It's awful! Am hoping not to get it next time round but we will see. I found out this week that a friend is pregnant and I am so tempted but I know I need to do more before I do. We are getting a puppy next week so I'm hoping that will get me out walking... Even when I a, pregnant to keep me moving a bit more aswell xx

How many children do you have and how old?
My girls are 4 and 21 months
My spd was so bad that I was signed off work
from 24 weeks as I was deemed to be unfit to work I'm a nurse so I physically couldn't be on my feet for 13 hours a day.
Hopefully by this time next year we'll both be in the pregnancy threads.
That's amazing about the woman losing weight whilst pregnant. I really wish I'd followed plan last time not to lose but it would have helped control my eating.

What puppy are you getting? I would love a dog but with my working hours it's not practical

We are getting a King Charles spaniel... Called Lola. She's lovely!

Mine wasn't ever deemed serious and having been referred to physio at 28weeks they didn't see me until 39! I will never forget the inner leg burn.. Ouch. Or the time I literally got stuck on my gym ball. Something happened and my pelvis just froze! Scary.

My little girl is 18months and she is such a handful. I'm hoping for an easy pregnancy next time!! X
