Hi, few stats - this is dc2, managed to stay bang in the middle of recommendation for weight gain with dc1, and was back in most old clothes within about 2/3 months although weight not back to original for about 6 months. I was an 8/10 top and 10 bottom before dc1, and again by the time dc2 was conceived, 5'6" but weight 10st (fairly muscular and did a lot of gym/running - very feminine! Ha.)
This time round I'm really struggling - 22 weeks and have had a really stressed couple of months which has stopped my filling in mfp (have done it as a check, rather than weight loss for the last 4 years, very helpful. ) Have just weighed myself and am 9lbs over recommended weight gain. I can't get to the gym as we've just moved and work still really busy so no time, don't know where I can go, plus looking after dc1 has basically stopped me doing a lot of the exercise I used to. Much of the gain is down to poor self control in terms of snacks - I'm not denying it.
Ideally I would like to lose the 9lbs and get back on track, but if not feasible for the baby, stop any further weight gain until this is within recommendation again.
I hope I'm not the only one, and know all the bumf about loving yourself as a baby making miracle etc but frankly that's not the point of this thread. Anyone care to join me, or should I go and moan elsewhere?
(Not posting in weight - loss as 99% there will not be pg too)
