    You can add me as a friend, I recently had a baby ..well 6 months ago and I wanted to lose weight before I got pregnant too, didn't happen as we ended up getting very lucky the first time we tried but, honestly pregnancy isn't an excuse to pig out ...if anything it's the perfect reason to eat even better, you are growing a new life !!
    That's not to say I didn't indulge under the pregnancy excuse myself at times, but my doctor said you only need about an extra 300 calories a day when you are pregnant .

    Let me know how I can help !

    booting my rear when i slack will be a great help i gained way too much with my other 5 kids and struggled to lose it so this time i want to do it right and hopefully not outgrow all maternity clothes and live in busted tracky bottoms because its all i can fit in and then making sure i stay on track after i have a bub i have this tendancy to revert back to eat rubbish because its easier and i really do not want to be back where i started when ive been doing so good

    Working on getting a bubba here too but also want to lose weight and continue with weight loss whilst pregnant or at very least maintain. Had a lot of problems whilst pregnant with my daughter and weight ballooned to 19 stone and almost lost her giving birth which isn't something i want to go through again or put baby through.

    sounds like a plan to me daytimedreamer just need to keep us motivated and knowing your near enough to real kick my butt is a great incentive i have to be good because i really do not want to have a bub and end up right back at where i started being over 10st was so depressing for me i would like to not be there for long if i dont have to
