in Motivation and Support
Hi my name is Ashley I'm 16 weeks pregnant and looking for friends for motivation and support during this journey. This is my first time being pregnant and I have no idea what to expect. In 2012 I decided to start losing weight, eating right and exercising. I went from 153 to 126 in 2 years before I got pregnant I was 133 and now I am 16 weeks and for some reason I'm packing on the pounds and have gained already 18 pounds. This is crazy but I am trying to eat right and exercise to do the best that I can to enjoy my pregnancy and do all that I can to be healthy. Just looking for friends for motivation and support that's all :)

    Hi Ashley.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm 21 weeks and gained weight during the first trimester too because of being insanely hungry. But that's what happened during my 1st pregnancy so I wasn't too worried. I'm having tons of trouble curbing night time eating though and have already outgrown the maternity pants that fit last time so I'm looking for an accountability buddy. I seem to do better when I know I have to check in with other people and share results. Would you be interested in checking in weekly? Nothing to elaborate. Maybe just a message sharing the stats for the week - like, "met workout goal, met eating goal" or "didn't go so well this week and why".

    Hi my name is Stefanie and I am 27 weeks 2 days pregnant and just recently re-joined MFP to maintain my current weight of 241. Before I became pregnant I was on a weight loss journey and lost 51 pounds to start a family and God blessed us with our first little girl! I am due the end of June and cannot wait to meet my little girl! I have started back to walking at least 1 1/2 miles a day (if I am feeling up to it energy wise) and once the dr. releases me I am back to training for my very first 1/2 marathon next April! Congrats to all the expecting mothers on here!

    Hey ladies my name is Jennifer and I'm also pregnant with my 4th. Almost 27 weeks. I'm struggling to keep my weight gain down during this pregnancy. Last weigh in at the dr was 248. Seems like we have some very similar goals. LOL Feel free to add me I could use someone in the same boat as me to keep me motivated!! I just had my 3 hr glucose test yesterday and I'm pretty sure it will come back that I have gestational diabetes since I had it with my last son. That makes me even more high risk for diabetes in the future and I DO NOT want that. It's time for me to get very serious about my own health and lose this weight!!
