Knightmagic it’s so frustrating! I know we shouldn’t be ruled by the scale, but it really winds me up ha. Well done on what youve achieved already though!

Thanks guys, I definitely haven’t eaten an extra 10000 cals, so I know it can’t be fat. I’m mid cycle, I don’t know if that would be a reason. My sleep has been terrible, but it usually is because I work night shifts part of the week. Then I spend the rest of the week trying to go back to day mode 😏 and my little girl…

It's not really a gym full of posers to be honest, it's just my own insecurities and anxieties really.

Aw you guys are so kind! Thank you all so much! Really really means so much. I have been on such a downer about myself for such a long time now. With regards to c25k, I think I am doing it pretty slowly, it's in km's on the treadmill though, I was doing 5k an hour walking 7.5k jogging. I'm just weak. I had bad SPD in my…

Well I drove here sat outside in my car reading all your replies and it gave me the courage to go in. I'm sweating like a pig and I feel like I'm carrying someone on my back. I tried the couch 2 5k but I couldn't finish the run parts as I am so unfit. Thank you for all your replies and support, it means a lot x

I never really thought of that to be honest. There's no way I'm doing couch to 5k on the streets though, that'd be worse than the treadmill ha. I guess I was hoping someone could give me some magical piece of advice that would make me confident again. But I know my confidence doesn't come back till I start shrinking. How…

I've got my next appointment in around 4 weeks, the midwife who took my booking bloods was unconcerned, I'm assuming she's seen much worse. I haven't actually met my midwife yet as my next appointment is at the community health centre instead of the maternity hospital. Maybe I'll get some more constructive advice from my…

Thank you for the reply :) I'll mention it to my midwife at my next appointment.

I'll give that a try! Thank you :)

Any advice is helpful :) I think the main reason I've put on 7lbs already is my constant grazing, nibbling carbs all day helps with the nausea, but isn't so great when you're hoping to not gain too much weight.

I guess I need to wait for this nausea to subside, as cooking smells make me heave. I have to hold my breath when I'm feeding my poor cats. Like you jdleanna cereal is a godsend. I've dried ginger, but I'm not all that sure it made a difference. Plain biscuits like digestives seem to help, but I can't eat those forever.…

Slimming world is supported by the royal college of midwives, it's the only 'diet club' that they agree is safe to follow while pregnant.

Thank you nckr66, I think I will try slimming world again, hopefully my nausea will go soon.

Amandalutwick that's why the midwife suggested slimming world, there's no calorie counting, it's just lots of veggies, fruit, complex carbs and protein. I just struggled with cooking because of the sickness. I just posted really to see if anybody was in the same boat I guess to talk. But other than you I seem to be getting…

Yeah I think so. I've just been quite poorly with nausea and there are only certain foods I can stomach. I did join slimming world on the advice of the midwife but once morning/all day sickness kicked in I couldn't carry on.

Of course I have spoken with my midwife, who advised me to eat a healthy diet.
