It was a last minute thing. He's mate rang and said he and his missus had tickets to go to the titti bar. In all honesty my partner asked me to go with but I don't believe it's a place for a pregnant woman. In saying this I said is it a titti bar which here is just topless barmaids or the strip club. He said titti bar and…

I've been following this for a while now to see how my gains are going compared to others. I think I might join in to help keep myself accountable. If heaps of other people can see my progress I'll be less likely to succumb to eating crap and not moving. I've been trying to eat healthily, still tracking my food, trying to…

Oh I know how hard it is to get motivation to exercise in pregnancy with everything else going on. I haven't exercised for ages now. That's why I thought I would ask wjat everyone else does. 3x20min walks a day seems so much easier and less daunting then 1hr on the treadmil, and less boring lol. Plus I can fit it in around…

Good to have you here :-) I'm already friends with you so don't need to add you lol. This is a good group for us pregnant mummas :-)

If you don't mind me asking. What do you break yours down too?

I think the most important thing at this time is to listen to your body. If anything is uncomfortable just don't do it. Pool could be an idea or maybe just break it up into little walks thought the day. Just always listen to your body

Thanks guys. Yea I actually ended up looking on pintrest and found heaps of great ones. Thanks.

I've had mine done since I was 15. I'm now 23 with 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. Mine isn't as pretty as it used to be because when I was pregnant with my first I got a big stretch Mark straight across where the piercing is so it's a bit stretched. I still wear it though because I like it. I imaging it would look better…

This is my 3rd bubby and I'm due Nov 9th feel free to add me!!

Hmmm interesting:huh: can't wait to give it a go:laugh:

Yes I'm due Nov 9th. So I'm 4w2d. I'm also yet to have an ultrasound. This is baby no3 for me. First healthy pregnancy (well that's my plan anyways)

Feeling great really. Little tired every now and then but apart from that great. Reading a book "what to expect when your expecting eating well while your expecting" it's very good although I've had 2 kids before it has alot of good dietary tips. A must read. Doc has told me 15kg max gain. My last 2 pregnancies weren't…

Confirmed :-) due date is 9th Nov 2014. Will add you both for support :-)

Bump

P.s thanks for everyone's help you've got me really excited and pumped to start this.

Sorry last question. So my goal is lose another 20ish kilos give or take because of lifting or drop another 2 dress sizes (that will be the size I was before kids but I was skinny fat) then I wanna focus more I wanna focus more on building lean muscle. How would I eat for those goals. Secondly I know I may get a bit bigger…

[/quote] Now I know that initially I'll probably gain weight so how long in average (I know it will be different for everyone) before it begins to fall again [/quote] Can anyone tell me the answer to this?

Thbanks everyone for the reply. Now I know that initially I'll probably gain weight so how long in average (I know it will be different for everyone) before it begins to fall again. Also I've also been told about this new rules of lifting for women book. Would that be a good place to start? Does it have illustrations?

Thanks I will look into them. And yes I don't plan on dropping cardio completely because I have grown to love running but the sheer repetitiveness of pure cardio especially when im only really getting the skinny fat look is driving me insane :-D

When you say eat at a surplus should I change my settings to maintenance and eat a little over that or change it to gain a little each week and aim for that. Also im guessing you eat back all of your exercise calories?

Thanks ladies. I think I'm going to try to continue doing my usual stuff. I'll say try because yesterday I hopped on the treadmill for my usual slow jog but had to stop and walk due to it making me feel nauseous. Today I think I might be having implantation pains. Terrible pinching pains thru my lower abdomen/pelvic area.…

I actually like this idea. Makes housework a little interesting and you get a workout at the same time. Might do this sometimes while I'm pregnant.. Thanks

The ones I can immedilately think of happened yesterday. 1. Went to pick up my partner from work and his boss stopped to talk to me and said "gees girl you've lost more weight your gunna be a stick soon" he's given me alot of compliments lately :-) 2. My partner and I were having a cuddle he hits my hip bone and says…

I like the motivation the gym gives me but now that I have kids I just do DVDs and treadmill and I'm actually doing better......

I was getting pains every now and then. I looked into correct form when running and haven't had a problem since.

Me me :-) I am ttc conceive baby #3 I would have liked to be another 8ish kg before I fell pregnant, which still might be possible but I doubt it because I fall pregnant easily. I'm up for.any friends in the same boat as me. I'll Will add you :-)

Lol close... It's Natalie

After having the depo shot I gained 10kg in a week without changing a thing (eating healthy, exercising) it can happen :-(

Omg if I ate the foods you do I'd be huge. Drool though they all look delicious
