the dreaded weight gain.

[nic0la]

morning all,

just wondered if it is possible to limit the amount of weight gained during pregnancy, I am about 3 stone overweight at the moment, i had just joined Slimming world and paid for a 12 week countdown so I still have 8 weeks paid for when the two blue lines appeared. I dont want to necessarily lose any weight, not sure if thats even possible but dont want to pile it on either. So if its no too personal a question how much have you put on or lost and is anyone else in a simialr position with regards a slimming club.

You can still do Slimming World with the permission of your doctor if you are already over weight. SW is ideal really because it's not a 'diet' as such and you can eat unlimited amounts of lovely healthy fruit and veg.

Merv's mum is right. I'd speak to my doctor if I was you and discuss maybe staying on sw. I'm a good weight at min but found it really hard at the beginning to resist the cravings of blueberry muffins and coke so I treated myself every other day to one or the other. I'm now back on track with the healthy eating. Maybe you could borrow a book on healthy eating in pregnancy? I borrowed one from library which was really helpful in explaining what I need now I'm pregnant, what foods contain what I need, ideas for including them in my diet and recipe ideas. Good luck hon.

I lost a lot of weight last year in preparation for my wedding at Christmas and since I found out I was pregnant on NYE I have gained a LOT of weight. I have eaten whenever I have felt sick and TBH it has stopped me from having any major sickness and I am at least thankful for that. I had just paid my monthly pass for Weight Watchers when I found up but I rang up in the new year and explained what had happened and they cancelled my membership AND refunded me the payment I had just made. Good luck xx

thanks for the replies, i havent had any cravings or anything like that but do feel sick if i dont eat every couple of hours. At least with SW there are loads of free foods that i can have. will just have to see how |I do in the next few weeks and take it from there.
