    Congrats! I'm in the same boat- 10 weeks as of yesterday and realizing that the last month has been a little too indulgent. Trying to get back on track for a healthy and happy pregnancy and baby!

    Hey, I m 12 weeks and looking to really just eat well and continue with light activity throughout my pregnancy. I used to be a competetive athlete but my activity levels have gone done severely in the past 5 years. So just trying to take it slow and be healthier all around.

    Me too. This is #4 for me and although my pre preggo weight was considered overweight (155 at 5'6") I'm more fit with this pregnancy than any of my others. I'm doing all kinds of fitness classes at my gym & loving it. It really helps me feel strong enough to birth another baby. That being said my weakness is the amount of food I eat. I'm doing my best but would love to journey with y'all! Maybe we will do better together than alone?! Plus we all have to adjust to the other side of pregnancy as well!

    I'm 10 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. I was trying to lose weight before getting pregnant, but it just didn't happen that way. So, I am much heavier than I would like to be and my goal is not to gain more than 10 lbs with this pregnancy. I am using MFP to track my food and exercise and to try to keep myself honest.

    Hello,
    I'm in the same boat @11 weeks pregnant. My Focus on MFP to eat better & real food limit the sweets & salty foods, Im craving! I've added too much weight in the 1st trimester (12lbs/5.4kg), and was told to Only gain 15-20 lbs from here on out. So I really gotta reel it in. Please add me too! I would love support!

    Congrats to all you ladies. You have a most wonderful journey ahead of you. I am a mother of two boys 17 and 19 who are the joy of my life, and have been since the months before they were born into this world! One piece of advice ... talk to your doctor about maximum heart rate during exercise. I often see pregnant women at my gym going all out, forgetting that as they lose their breath they are depriving oxygen from the same blood stream that feeds their baby. Exercise is FANTASTIC during pregnancy. I exercised with both of mine ... just monitor your heart rate and do all things in moderation. Brisk walks every day can do wonders for keeping your weight gain in check and helping you feel healthy throughout the coming months. Swimming is another great choice and with summer coming, accessible to many. Best wishes to you all!!

    11 weeks here and feel the same. Not happy about where I started so the thought of packing on more pounds is SCARY. I just don't want any of the complications that can come with being unhealthy during pregnancy, like gestational diabetes. I would love the support! Anyone can add me! Is there a group started? Maybe we should start one?

    I am 10 weeks as of yesterday with my first and just found out over the weekend that my slacking on exercise (meaning pretty much none in the 5 weeks since i found out i am prego) has not helped me at all! Shocking right?! The doctors told me to gain max of 25 lbs thru the whole pregnancy, so i'll be back on here tracking nutrition and walking 30 minutes a day from here on out. Add me please! I could use some support in this new phase of my life!

    Congrats to all of you! I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I am trying to get in shape by swimming twice a week and taking walks. My BMI before my pregnancy was around 25 and I gained two kilograms so far. Feel free to add me, I'm new here :) Lisa
