Obviously there could be health issues but you do get extra care, my friend is a size 18/20 and only 4ft10 she is now 28wks pg, she has to have 2 extra scans to keep an eye on the baby and an extra midwife appointment towards the end of pg. She was trying to weih up the health implications of having a baby before being 'ideal weight' and waiting which will also have impicatons as soon as you are over 35 they also offer amnio etc because of age!!

Anyway, I don't think you have to be any particular size to have a baby. although it did take her a year to concieve so slightly longer than maybe if she had been lighter.

I am overweight, but not obese (although borderline) and last time I was on here doing sw I did lose 2 stone so that has helped me loads, I fell pg within 2mths of trying. I want to try not to gain too much as I want another baby quite soon after so don't want too much excess weight left on.

Thanks Mel, OH won't listen and at this rate I will be 35+ before we try

Just had a cry. Sooooo fed up of this weight loss (and the baby thing-I'm so desperate). I've gone without so much this week because there have only been bad options available and I've put on 4lbs (I know I know!). I still have 60+ syns left (not that I want to use them) and I can't lose weight.

To top it all OH bought a meal deal from M&S - he went for the best possible but it still adds up to 29 syns even if I don't have any wine. Still 11.5 syns if I don't have wine OR dessert but I can't sit here and watch him eat the lot.

Don't worry just eat and enjoy...Tommorrow is another day!!!

I must admit though, the only thing that kick started my weight loss last time was excercise.... I bought an excercise bike off ebay, and started off with 10mins every other day, believe me i was so unfit that after that small amount of time I was huffing and puffing...I'm surprised the house was still standing, and i ached everwhere.
But it is surprising how quickly I managed to build up to 20mins everyday. I also started doing sit ups, well I say sit-ups what I relly mean is lying o the floor like a beached whale and rocking my head up and down off the floor.....I felt really stupid. but it started to work I manged to get a bit higher each week/month, and then could start feeling it in the right place on my tum!!!!!

But I really know what you mean about being desperate for a baby...I have always wanted 4 children, and I have two boys but was desprate for another and have in the last 3 years had two micarriages, so was starting to feel as though I would never have ny more, but fingers crosed everything is going well.....
It will be you soon I know it will!!!!

i am joining back in with sw because I now it is more a healthy eting plan than a diet, which is what I really need But I know to lose weight I will need to excercise. Whilst I am pg I am going to go swimming as it is probably the safest kind to do (no risk of pulling a muscle.

You are doing so well at the moment and i know you are determined so will acheive it in the end.

Aw sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Somethimes I think I'm putting so much pressure on myself something would go wrong and I'd be even more heartbroken.

We've got a Wii Fit and i was doing up to an hour a day step, yoga etc, but I've hurt my knee and can hardly walk up town for any length of time, so I've stopped, but should do as much as I can.

OH wants to go swimming (due to his knees he can't run though we do a bit of cycling and walking) but I can't bear the thought of me in a swimsuit and I'm not a strong swimmer anymore so 2 laps and I'd be finished! :rolleyes:

redmel1621

Oooh I keep think thinking of getting a wii fit it looks quite good??

Swimming is meant to be excellent excercise a girl i worked with a few years back was a model and she said her figure was down to swimming aand I did see her eating chocs and stuff, she said she went early morning as the pool is empty. Maybe you could phone and find out when the quietest time is.

I'll let you(and evryone else who reads this forum lol) into a secret dh(df at the time) didn't have any say into the matter when I fell pg with both my first and second baby!!!!!! No what everyone would do but hey if it was up to him I would still be sat here now with him saying 'maybe we should wait a while' and thinking of a illion reasns why. There can always be excuses, even now the timing is not ideal but hey things have a way of working out......

Enjoy your M&S meal, I have never bought food from there to be honest it's far to pricey for my liking lol lol (the joys of having kids = skint)

I have thought about not telling OH, but I think I'll wait til he's DF rather than DB - at least a bit more secure (When I get to target he's planning on proposing...;) ) My target date is April so not massively far away unless I have a lot of blips!

Thanks, I will try to enjoy it and not worry too much (becoming rather a habit recently) - I hardly buy anything there but h thought he'd treat us as he's been away. Mum loves to shop there but has the credit card bill to show for it! (I'm currently doing shopping list on mysupermarket.com with all Asda smartprice :rotfl:)

redmel1621

Hehe

I will keep popping in, maybe not as much as a 'real' slimmer but I love reading all the posts and recipes...... My shopping is really SW related tom, loads of last sat yogs and qourn hehehehe

Take care and I know April will be your month.

Awwww Skint _Catt, Aprill will be here in no time tho!!!

Thats why I don't like this diet - how can it be that when you forgo your sins you don't lose or you put on. I just dont get it - i'm already thinking of defaulting to rosemary conley or weight watchers but i'd probably not like them for one reason or another!

I was having a bad day on WI day- i walked out after paying, forgeting to get weighed! and so i haven't got the password to update my loss so could someone pm it me please.

good luck with this weeks wi's everyone xxxxxx

Your memory sounds worse than mine, lol, how on earth could you forget to get weighed??

Reading of you thinking of decamping to RC or WW then reading your sig "SW loser - 11lbs lost in 2 weeks" I wonder what you want from a slimming plan! Be happy that you're obviously doing well and know that if you keep on following the plan, you will stay fit and healthy at the same time.

Skint_catt, my daughter was desperate to have a baby and has been trying for almost 5 years. She was (and is) very overweight but she had other things to focus on when my Dad (her much loved Gramps) died and I believe it was the fact that she stopped worrying so much about getting pregnant that she actually caught on with her first baby which is now 3 days overdue.

Please try to stop worrying and focus on all the blessing in your life (I'm sure there are many). I wish you all you wish yourself x

Thanks soooooo much for the password - you are stars!

lol consultant, I did go back to get weighed one i remembered but I was virtually in the car by that point. And i know my weight loss has been successful so far, but i've a lot to lose - i suppose i'm finding it hard this week and got the grass is greener feeling. LOL not too good its only been two n a half weeks!!

Getting back to this thread has been very ispirational so thanks guys xxxx
