Hello.
I'm 33 years old and expecting my 3rd child in March 2014. I am obese and I have been working to lose weight and get healthy. Obviously it would not be wise to continue to lose as much as I was before but I'm hoping logging my meals here will help me at least not gain fat during my pregnancy.
I am aiming for half a pound per week which at 260lbs I have to lose without harming my child. I will also be continuing to eat healthy for both of us and excercising minimum of 30 minutes per day.
I hope to see you around the boards. Thanks for reading my post.

Why don't you just eat sensibly and not worry too much about loss, but rather just maintain? At least until after pregnancy. Excercising, though, could be very beneficial. I cringe when pregnant women post on here that they wanna lose during pregnancy. Especially when your body and your baby's needs all the nutrients you can get.0
