Re: Healthy Baby Bump Challenge

its funny, I'm losing weight now so that I can become a surrogate mom early next year. I figure I'll go on the maintenance portion of the diet while I'm carrying the child and then go back on induction after the baby is born and the couple takes it home!

I think that's great! You will forever be blessed for volunteering your body, so that someone else can experience what motherhood is like. Where are your stats? How much are you trying to lose and in what amount of time? In 2005 it took me about 6 months to drop over 120lbs with this WOE. I've kept it off ever since, and was very excited to learn that we were expecting. Also, is this WOE something you plan to stick with even after you've given birth?

Thank you! I was seriously determined to not let my weight get out of control. I know that not all pregnancies are the same, but I wish that more people understood how crucial it is to take care of you, baby, and your body while pregnant. It really does make everything a lot better for you and baby in the long run.

Re: Healthy Baby Bump Challenge

I'll be 29 thursday and i'm currently 194. I started off at 220.5. and I've got roughly 49 lbs left to go. I'm only in my second month. I'm hoping to lose between 10-15 lbs this month, and roughly 2 lbs a week until I reach my goal weight. I havent been out of the 200's since I gave birth to my daughter 4 years ago. I guess I'm now just getting around to getting the baby weight off from both of my children, just to start over again when i get impregnated for surrogacy. I hope this time around I will make better choices for foods and remember I'm really not eating for two. (adults). Thats why I think the maintenance portion of this w.o.e will suit me fine while I'm carrying.

Re: Healthy Baby Bump Challenge

Hello ladies! Iyshia, I am excited for you as you are so close to your due date and appear to have managed your health very well throughout your pregnancy.


I am new to Atkins and this board, but am hoping to join this challenge for accountability.

Due date is around May 10, so I have a ways to go and have plenty of opportunity to let things get out of control.

Re: Healthy Baby Bump Challenge

Shari-- You can do it girl...I'll be right here with ya. I've lost all the pregnancy weight I gained, but now I have to lose the inches. That's gonna take a while, because I'm supposed to wait 2 weeks until I really start to move around.


Butterfly--Hello and welcome...sorry it took me so long to respond, but I was in the hospital having the baby! She's finally here, and I'm back on my mission to goal. It's really not as hard as it sounds to follow maintainence while pregnant w/ this WOE. Was this WOL something you were following before you got pregnant, or are you new to it all together? Also, what are your stats? I don't expect you to post your current weight, due to the situation....but how old are you, how tall, what was your highest weight, and what is your post-partum goal?
