Hello,
Iam five months pregnant but was recommmended by my doctor to lose weight instead of gaining weight, so I am giving myfitnesspal a try and hopefully I can lose weight but still maintain a healthy pregnancy. :love:

    Do you have gestational diabetes? I did and as soon as I started watching my sugar/carbs, I stopped gaining weight in my pregnancy. I found portioning healthy snacks in baggies helped. I could grab them on my way out the door. I also posted a menu on my wall so I could have quick healthy options rather than staring in the fridge. Just try to focus on helping that unborn baby with controlling weight gain and how much easier it will be to take the weight off after he's born! Breastfeeding REALLY helps that weight come off after. Good luck!
