Hi there :) Old member here...

Hi guys -
Not sure if anyone remembers me I was an active member in 2009/2010 and lost alot of weight! I went from 92kgs down to 65kgs and I maintained that up until my honeymoon December last year
Was 70kgs after that and then after Xmas I managed to heave it up to 72kgs and now, 4 1/2 months pregnant I am a fantastic 78kgs!!!!
I am probably going to lurk and get some information on pregnancy related things and hopefully see you all back here actively in about 6 months or so ready for the big challenge!!

Congratulations!!!
I remember your name

It takes about 85000 calories to make a baby .. so you can have about 300 extra a day

Thanks Metalcharm

I am not focusing so much on calories just eating a broad range of nutritious foods
I am keeping a bit of a food diary for my midwife as I know I will put on weight as I am not doing my usual high impact exercise.
