Have been brave today and had 3 angle photos taken of me at 38+3 weeks pregnant, and have been weighed - so using today as my marker point of losing the weight all over again.
I am ....drum roll please..... 264lbs !!!!!!
I am looking forward to those dramatic losses once little one is born and the water starts to sweat out of me, but by my reckoning I am still looking at losing at least 60lbs with hard work?
So here's the dreaded pics I took today. I have dropped considerably as my lower belly now feels empty and saggy, and don't you just love the fact the love handles are back!
I am not going to beat myself up over the huge weight increase as we are talking 2 pregnancies in a row, being pregnant nigh on a year, first time mum at 38 yrs old - and quite frankly the only thing I am bothered about is that my baby is well and healthy.
And here are all the belly pics I have taken along the way. Looking back I can't believe I felt huge in the 6 week one!
13th June
My poor feet and ankles at 39 weeks pregnant exactly. I am being induced next week so this will be my last 'pregnant' piccy!
Believe it or not but they do get even bigger and more swollen throughout the day. You can see where I have tanned my feet in my sandles though!
27th June....I am a mummy!
After induction didn't work after 3 days trying I had my 8lb 10.5oz baby girl by c-section. She is just beautiful :)
I got weighed today and 17st 5lbs, so 21lb down - 5st 5lbs to go. I can't exercise for 3 months so will just have to try and do this with food intake till then. I breastfed for 3 days only due to a sleepy baby who is now thriving on formula so I am good to go on the diet front, and I want her to have a yummy mummy!
I took one more belly pic and one 1 week post birth - and will try and take one every thursday and weigh in on that day.
1wk post c-section
My ankles and feet are still huge but midwife says they will go down and should by 3 weeks post birth. If they havn't then will have to see the doctor and see what she can suggest.
