Hi everyone, I actually came across this site searching for other women 5'7 and in my weight range of 197lbs.
However, who I HOPE to find on this site as well are other pregnant women who are looking to stay in shape, or to get in shape through out their pregnancy. As this is my goal for the time being. I recently found out I am pregnant again, and that means an entire new lifestyle. My main goal today is not really focused on losing weight, as much as I am focused on maintaining my weight, because I am already obese, my pregnancy weight gain goal will allow for me to gain anywhere from 11pnds to 20pnds, by the end of my pregnancy. That feels like a long shot for me, but I am definitely game to meet the task. I do exercise regularly and have started myself already on a diabetic diet, because I know that I will have to deal with gestational diabetes and my doctor will recommend one anyways. I check my blood sugar regularly and to date I am on spot with my glucose levels and have actually lost a total of 8lbs as of today. So really excited about that. I am also a mother of 5 children and the bun in the oven will make for a total of 6 for my husband and I. As well as be our last kiddo to add to our bunch (Yea!) Super excited about having our last one and definitely ready to embrace a new chapter to add to our lives. Looking forward to beginning this new journey with all of you!
