    Talk to your OB/GYN when you go about safely losing weight while pregnant. I lost quite a bit during my last pregnancy, but very very gradually.

    Congrats!

    My coworker used it while preggo but got frustrated because she says there is no way to make it track that she is pregnant.

    Congrats on your pregnancy though!

    Congrats! I got pregnant last year after losing 35 lbs on MFP. I tried using it for a while and continued exercising every day. But after morning sickness kicked in I couldn't even stand to think about food. Then the extreme fatigue kicked in and I stopped exercising too. I'm back at it now though and it's going well. :)

    congratualtions!

    probably talk to your doc. usually they dont want you to try to keep losing if you are pregnant (expecially since you are not morbidly obease or anything) and just want you to shoot for gaining a little less from the pregnancy (which is kinda the same thing in a roundabout way)

    definitely get good instructions from your doctor, definitely want lots of good nutrition for da baby!

    Definitely talk to your doc and get a good, solid calorie requirement from them. They'll know for sure what your body needs. The focus should be primarily on nutrition now, though keeping an eye on the calories as well. Congrats on your new addition! May you both be happy and healthy!
