Pregnant Mommas

lol

Congrats!! I am really exhausted this time around, it's hard to get up in the morning to work out. I keep telling myself that I will be more comfortable in my third trimester if I don't gain 40 lbs again

Yes. I just came back to mfp. Weight gain has attacked. Although I eat pretty healthy the exhaustion has caused me to be a couch potato and its just piled on. I'm about 4lb over what I should be at the maximum and about 6lbs over where I want to be. So I downloaded mfp again today to try and slow down my weight gain not lose. And I do have energy back so I have started hitting the gym again. I'm 19 weeks

Also, (I am entirely new to this app, forgive me if this isn't news) there is a group for pregnancy at the bottom the forums list you can look for it under "my groups..." I tried looking for pregnancy posts under the search tool but couldn't find much. Anyway, the group is pretty dead; not much action since September, but maybe we can change that. (:

I lost weight and was doing ok. Lost my job got pregnant and all the stress I got lazy and binging started again. Hoping it'll get warmer here soon and I can do more outside. I also just got a new job and hope it'll help keep me moving and my spirit. I too just entered second tri, feeling about same but even more tired sleeping is awful for me. Hoping to eat better amd get a bit on track.

I was in the midst of trying lose weight as I'm obese and had been struggling to get pregnant for several years. The 5 days after I first spoke to a doctor about the struggle, I found out I was pregnant. I'm 8 weeks in and ecstatic, but really concerned about carrying all my extra weight and what impact that will have on my pregnancy and the baby. I have constant nausea (though no actual sickness) and that, along with fatigue means I mostly want to sleep and eat junk. I've come back to MFP from Weight Watchers to monitor what I'm eating on maintenance calories.

Okay...not sure where the rest of my message went but anyway; schellies, I am so sorry about your job! That is so stressful and completely understandable how the experience has shaped your eating habits. I am so happy you found a new job! I have recently found these prenatal videos on YouTube and I am doing the "Body by Amy" videos. They are 20-30 mins and they are great no matter your fitness level or trimester (I am pretty put of shape this time around. I had a broken foot and was on crutches for 12 of the first 15 weeks) and the first video killed my legs and upper abs. The choreographer of "Black swan" also has prenatal dance/ballet videos on YouTube if that's more your jive. Even if you only do 10 mins of a video, it's a start and could be all you need to get out of a junk-funk and great for the mental state. I hope you find the motivation to do it once and it will get the ball rolling so you will be ahead of the game when the weather warms up. 4legsRbetterthan2 thanks for sharing the links! Its hard to find pregnancy boards around here.

With my first I gained 50 lbs, this time I am 29 weeks along and have only gained 10 thus far, while baby is measuring ahead. I would love to have some friends for encouragement. I'm having trouble keeping focus this last 10 weeks and not deciding to just binge, haha. I have a 2000 cal intake which I will be sustaining through the 4th trimester to help me feed my son. After that I plan on reducing my calories to my TDEE before determining when to start my loss again. I don't exercise, but keep moving and active. Feel free to add me.
