I'm another advocate of myfitnesspal. It's awesome! I've tried loads of other weight loss apps but this is by far the best. It encourages me to exercise and keeps me away from the bad foods! I even said no to fish and chips in favour of a jacket potato !!!! I want to lose ideally 2.5 stone xxx

Yay I'm glad there are a few of you in a similar position. I feel left out that I don't have an iphone and can't join you guys on that app though
but I'll start a thread on here and we'll see how it goes.

Wow Laurat, that's amazing, I'm so impressed... and even more inspired now. Congratulations

There should be a weight loss thread on here.... a kind of weekly weigh in and food discussion. It helps to have support and hear success stories

Pretty sure there is one down in the Beauty, Health and Fitness section..............

You are very welcome! I am awful with food too hun but if you are anything like me, when you start keeping a daily record of what you are eating and see the calories tot up etc, you'll probably find that you either change your portion size, or go for the "healthier option".

It wasn't termed as a "weight-related" problem during my pregnancy but I was polyhydramnic... which basically means
I carried ALOT of excess fluid. And I mean... ALOT. To the point where they were all telling me expect a 10lb-er etc (even before I went into theatre) but Layla was born 7lb 5.5!

Other than that, nothing else really... we all thought I may suffer from pregnancy diabetes due to weight but infact, my sugar levels etc with the tests came out at the lowest they have ever been! I always keep testing myself as my father is very heavily diabetic so likely that I may end up with diatetes too... so I like to keep tabs on it!

Sorry I can't be much help in terms of weight-related problems in pregnancy but maybe some of the other girls on here may be able to help on that! xx

I was polyhydramnios too Munchkin, bloody awful. I was measuring 55 weeks when my waters went at 38+5... got it felt good when they were out though!!
