Just when I thought I was about to tackle the weight full on I find out that I'm pregnant. Scared more than ever now. I have to BELIEVE in myself so that I can get through this. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me ".

    Are you scared because it was not planned? Or scared because you may gain more weight? Please elaborate on your fear....

    See your doctor, get a plan, and ask for referral to a dietician.

    Being pregnant is a fabulous reason to start eating more healthily. The reason most people gain weight in pregnancy is that they 'eat for 2' when you don't actually need all that much more (I think its something like 10%). As has been said, go see you dr to make sure what you do is safe and right for you.

    I have a friend who lost weight in her pregnancies and it was only after that she gained (apparently stealing toddlers left overs was more of the problem)
