Been a while

So it's been a while since I updated here. I've been trying for a baby since August, so in some respects I've been fairly distracted from losing weight, thinking maybe this month, then maybe the month after... so I've been hovering.

I found out I was pregnant at the end of January, with a baby due in October. I am doing my best not to eat whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it, using the pregnancy as an excuse for eating for 2 (when actually I should be eating for one-and-a-little-bit).

I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and so far I have not really gained any weight with this pregnancy. I've not been trying to lose weight per-se, just trying to eat sensible portions, and do 30 minutes of gentle exercise a day 5 days a week, to try and tone up, and hopefully, I will be the same weight I am now once the baby is born.

Combined with not eating junk for months after the baby is born, and breastfeeding, hopefully I will lose weight fairly steadily, and oh it would be lovely, if when this baby is 1 year old, for me to be down to 12 stone! I am currently 14 stone 2 lbs so that's 2 stone (hopefully, if I manage to only gain baby weight) in a year. In fact, 4 stone in a year might even be do-able, which would bring me down to my ideal weight, and I would be over the moon.

Oh, it looks great on paper, but I guess we'll see what the next 16 months bring!

Weight at 10 weeks pregnant: 14 stone 2 lb
