Hey guys!! I'm pregnant, due 29th August 17. I'm really happy about the news. However we started trying and I made it a mission to lose weight, so by the time I became pregnant I'd be slimmer. Well it happened first time and I'm 4 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and I am overweight.
5ft9, 16stone 10lbs and UK size 18.
So obviously guidelines state not to lose weight while pregnant. I rang the midwife to make my first appointment, I mentioned that I was worried about my weight, she said they recommend slimming world to overweight mums and when I go for my check she will get me some vouchers sorted to attend the class. I want to concentrate more on health rather than the number on the scale, I know being pregnant might throw up some challenges but I hope to stick to the plan the best I can. My aim is to minimise the gain. With my first I was a healthy weight to begin with, gained 20lbs during the pregnancy, 2 weeks after the birth I weighed myself and was only 7lbs up from my pre pregnancy weight.
Something about pregnancy just makes me want to be so healthy. I'm going to run with this.
So....it's almost Christmas. I feel I would be setting myself up for a fail to start today. So I am cutting back on processed food but doing my own thing until the 27th and then I will begin!
Have a great Christmas everyone.
