in Introduce Yourself
My husband and I just went through a round of IVF and it was successful.... but I need to lose some weight because of a medication I was on this year really put weight on me. Anyone else pregnant but trying to lose weight? (healthily, by eating better and being more active?)

My profile picture is where I need to get back to. I got lazy when I started putting the weight on to where I as depressed and didnt care, and I am almost 6 years post gastric bypass surgery. I have lost 10 lbs in a month, 3 of them are since I started using the MFP app on my phone. It just helps to be aware of what im eating, so I make better choices. :)

I hope to make some friends on this journey :) Good luck to everyone!

    I wouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant, I think though asking your doctor for advice would be the best and safest option.

    I would discuss this with your doctor. I was overweight when I was pregnant, and ended up losing a bit of weight in the first and second trimester without really changing my habits. Usually some exercise is ok. But honestly...each woman is so different that I think it is really smarter to just discuss your concerns with your doctor. Best of luck, and congratulations on your pregnancy!

    Its ok to lose weight while you are pregnant, just not going on any crazy dieting or over exercising to do it. I am just becoming more active and cutting out the crappy foods in my diet (ie: candy, chips, soft drinks, etc)

    so thanks for the advice about not losing weight, but that wasnt a question, it was an introduction. :)

    thank you for the congratulations.

    FYI TO EOE: I already have talked to my doctor. This is an introduction, not a question. The only question was is anyone else trying to lose weight while pregnant. Thanks! :)
