I am now 2 lbs under weight, and it isn't on purpose. The diet is pretty much second nature to me and I have also stopped eating gluten which I think is taking the weight off as well. Do i try to put on a few lbs?

I had the same questions, but did not get any answer. I saw somebody here concieved her daughter with a BMI of 17.4.; That is underweight. I think as long as you are still ovulating you are ok.
My Bmi is 17.21 at the moment so Im underweight and just got my BFP. I think if it goes on too long you may stop ovulating so id try and hold steady if i were you - I started out at 7 stone and literally had 2lb to loose but after 12 weeks on the diet lost 6lb and was scared to put it back on so increased calories until i helfd steady at 6.5 stone. Now i have my BFP im eating for england and will be back to 7 stone probably by the weekend at this rate !!! ha ha
The problem is I think that I am so used to this diet, it is i like I don't know how to eat like a normal person anymore if that makes sense. If I want to hold steady at this weight what do you suggest I eat for some girl friendly calories.
I'm finding it hard to get enough calories too but have found that raiding my son's Halloween stash is helping:) Chupachup lolly pops, skittles, boiled sweets etc seem to be pure sugar with nothing of any value. I think AS mentioned lemonade and coke as other girl friendly options.
I'd like to see you stay between 18.5 and 20 BMI, so I would at the very least have you relax and hold steady even if you have to eat a lot more to do it.Quote:

I guess I'm a classic 'foodie' boy mom because I just can't get how anyone has a hard time eating enough! LOL!!
I admit it IS difficult sometimes to get enough calories without going over on protein. But gosh, desserts quite easily make up the calories pretty darned quick, and frozen yogurt/candy have pretty low protein, if any. My cake/icecream third meal everyday ends up at 500 cals (or more! LOL!) and pretty darned enjoyable.
I wish I could eat your calories for you, LMAO!!!
