[Missy in MS]

Hi. I'm new and wondering if there are any other 'preggo's' here. I am 18 wks pregnant and just put myself on SB. This is my 4th day.
Are ya'll losing any wieght or just maintaining what you can? I hope to come out (after pregnancy) a bit liter than my start weight cuz I am overweight to start. I was on a diet when I found out I was pregnant. What a shock, I wasn't planning on another baby this soon. Please let me know your experiences with SB.
Thanks.
Missy

I am not pregnant, but have been 6 times, and have 5 kids. I gained 42 pounds my first and 20 my second. My other pregnancies I gained about 18 pounds. I would not suggest loosing, no matter how big you are. I had a friend who was almost 300 pounds and the doctor said..."NOW is not the time to think about loosing" He also said you don't need to gain a lot, 15-20 pounds. Remember, the decissions you make now will affect you the rest of your life.

That said, SB is safe when you are pregnant, but not he weight loss part. The maintanance part is safe and healthier for your baby.

Good luck and God Bless.
