My coworker/close friend and I started a life change in September & were both on a really good path to loose 100+ lbs. She recently became pregnant and has stopped exercising, watching what she eats & tracking. I know she's feeling blah so I let it go. How do I encourage her?

    Just be her good friend, she has her own life to lead.

    Ask her how you can help. Maybe the two of you can walk together.

    I lost 62 lbs and then got pregnant. I don't exercise or track and I'm up 20 lbs at 30 weeks. Let her do her own thing. I have pretty bad anemia and can't tolerate much exercise at this point. Not to mention my vagina is so sore it hurts to walk. Pregnancy is hard so let her do what she needs and she will be ready again after she's done.
