Expecting Momma!

Hey y'all. I'm Angelica and new to MFP. I am not here to lose weight, but rather to get healthier. I am 30 weeks 4 days pregnant with my first child: a girl. All through this pregnancy I have used it as a reason to gorge on any and everything in sight. Before pregnancy I was about 155 (the smallest I have ever been) I was 210 before that. I am terrified of still looking pregnant a year from now. Any and all supporting friends would be lovely!! :)

    Also, if you do join up, I would avoid the "How Much Have You Gained"-type threads. I stopped looking at them a while ago. I lost 82 lbs after my son was born (I had gorged myself during my first pregnancy) to get to 153.8 (my lowest in quite a long time), and I gained back a few before getting pregnant again. I've gained a lot more than I'd have liked to even though I'm eating much better this time around, and, like you, I don't want to look pregnant a year after having this baby! I found this thread really helpful (it's pregnancy-specific):

    Also, send me a friend request if you like, and best wishes!
