Hi girls,

Thought Id join this thread if thats ok!

Ive just gone 5 weeks and this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first was IVF and this one was natural which came as a BIG surprise!

I gained lots during IVF and my first pregnancy. I then got back down to 100kgs but it slowly crept back up again. I finally decided that this is it and in January this year I joined Jenny Craig. Lost 10 kgs with them which was GREAT but then I found the food to get a bit monotonous so decided to try BodyTrim which is a high protein/low carb diet. I lost another 2 kgs on that before falling pregnant. So Im now weighing in at
102 kgs and Im only 5ft 3 so not very tall!

I had high blood pressure last pregnancy and ended up on medication. I am DESPERATELY trying not to gain much weight this time around as I found it really difficult last time with all the extra, extra weight.

After having my son, my ob told me that he would "ideally" like me to be 85kgs if I fell pregnant again...oops! This pregnancy wasnt planned and I did hope to lose some more weight but things happen and Im WRAPPED to have fallen pregnant naturally when the odds were against me

I too am trying to eat healthily and have made home-made soups the last 2 weeks which I have been eating for lunch. For brekky I generally eat 2 pieces of toast with either vegemite or make a toasted sandwich with ham and cheese. I try to eat a piece of fruit for morning and afternoon tea and dinner, well thats whatever I can be bothered cooking, lol. No...Ive been trying to eat plenty of veggies with some sort of protein for dinner. With all the diets I have been on, I know what the healthy options are and its just a matter of choosing them and sticking to it!

Im not good with drinking water and know I need to increase my intake and need to do some regular exercise too.

Its nice to have other girls to share this with.
