*NEW* 4 Week Challenge

[CamilleBates]

i would love to join but because this is my first week and i'm 30 weeks pregnant i have absolutely no clue what to do about a target as i don't know whether i will lose, gain or sts depending on when the baby grows etc...

what do you reckon?

abz xx

Hey Abz,

I think bubba gains something like 3-7lb (there's alot of factors to vary that!!) in the final trimester, I'm not sure how much extra fluid and whatnot you gain as well though which will obviously have an effect too.

Maybe you should aim to STS? That's a challenge in itself while pregnant! It's a tough one! When are you due to have your first WI? maybe see how that goes and possibly adjust from there?

 

[abz]

it's my first wi on monday. and of course they can't recommend whether i should lose or not. not seeing my midwife for ages but i know that it's safe for me to lose...maybe if i just aim to stay 100% on track for now and sts? i'm kind of hoping that if i stay on track that even if i sts in the next 10 weeks then i'll have lost flab but gained baby?

 

[pesty]

Abz,

I thnk the best thing to do is aim for 100% weeks, then you are still part of the challenge and if you STS or gain it will be baby or if you lose it will be all you xx

 

[CamilleBates]

Yeah I would stick with that definately. It's now that is most like you're going to gain weight, not only as baby grows, but as your body stores fat around your hips, bum and thighs (Isn't it such a magical time LOL) in preparation to feed the baby. losing would definately be a bonus, but STS same would also be a massive achievement too. Obviously don't beat yourself if you gain either though... Just remember what you might have gained if you weren't doing SW!!!! but yep, you're right, if you STS then you will be losing fat and it will be baby growing stopping the scales going down.... and imagine all that weight you will lose when you give birth

 

[abz]

i know. slimmer of the week? ha. well, i won't be allowed to weigh in straight away will i? ha.

i already have PLENTY of fat stores for breast feeding am hoping my body will let me off that one :S

ok. i'll do that then. four weeks of 100%. are we starting it from today then?
