Lost 10lbs in 2 weeks

[Notmyweek]

So I'm overweight and been told I have to manage my weight during pregnancy due to BMI, so was going to slimming world however 2 weeks ago me and DP ended, I've been pretty devastated and my appetite has all but disappeared!

I am now lucky if I'm eating once a day.

I've now lost 10lbs, is this bad??

Totally forgot to add in that I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child.

Poor you, sounds rough

If you have a high BMI your MW can sign that you can attend SW (which it looks like you've done). So, loosing weight when very overweight or obese in pregnancy is a good thing for you and doesn't carry the same risks for low birth weight as a woman with a healthy BMI would.

10lb in two weeks is a lot but you've had a rough time. The most important thing is that you still try and eat healthily, one meal a day isn't going to help you achieve this.

Try and focus on the baby needing you to eat and start by making yourself have healthy snacks (fruit, cheese cubes, low fat yoghurt, wholemeal toast etc.) as well as your one meal and build up from there.
