    Hi ladies! I am 9 weeks along and so excited to find friends who are going through this process too! I am scared that I will gain too much weight (over 40 lbs) and not be able to lose it in a decent amount of time. I have always yo-yoed and am finally at a comfortable weight! Feel free to add me as a friend or maybe we can all join a group together?

    I'm 22 weeks with my second. I gained about 55lbs (not counting baby, etc) during my first pregnancy and am determined not to do that to my body again this time! I've gained a little more than 5lbs so far and am hoping to keep it under 20lbs but will be fine with 25lbs. I've had trouble with appetite. So often I feel like i can't eat anything and then all of a sudden I could eat a whole cow! So I've started (today) to plan out my meals the day before (like i did when I was losing weight) so that I don't have to think about what i'm going to eat, i just eat it. And it keeps me in check so that I don't go vending machine shopping at 3 in the afternoon.

    That's what I do, and I find it really helps a lot!

    I'm on the same journey with you! Love my intense workouts and trying to stay very mindful of eating! Currently 12 weeks-looking forward to 2nd trimester energy boost!!
