CONGRATS BlackDuckies on the BFP!! Well done on losing 9kgs too - it must feel good to start a pregnancy 9kg's lighter, do stick around - we're all slowing down a lot with our enthusiasm for posting so need all we can get . Yep, you're right, prevention is better than cure they say, so even though your weight loss journey is halted hope we can keep motivating you to have a happy, healthy pregnancy I really regret losing my fitness so early in my pregnancy - I was soo fit with my hard DVD's and 45min on high level excercise bike - then we went to the US for a month and all I could do was walk and totally lost my fitness - I am determined not to do that next time (I guess that remains to be seen - you might be seeing a very sheepish me next year )
