    Did your doctor tell you to lose weight?

    Hey,
    Im 16 weeks now and the exact same weight I was when I got pregnant. This is something Im very happy with even though it has fluctuated.
    Are you actively trying to lose weight? I'm not- Im just making sure I dont blow out on my calories too often, but my calories are set for maintenance anyway. I dont believe having low calories is good for the hormones- Id be a nightmare if I was eating any less than I am now- plus I am starting to feel hungry!. Im just making sure I get plenty of goodness in.
    I think I have a similar BMI but I dont know as I don't believe in it- but I did read that if you are classed in the obese section of BMI chart a healthy weight to gain in pregnancy is 10-16 lbs.

    My pre-pregnancy BMI was 35 as well. I’m 24 weeks and up 6 lbs. - amazing job on keeping your weight on track! How many calories would you say you’re eating a day? I’m a little nervous my gain is going to speed up and want to do my best to stay healthy as I’ve already had a nasty flare of carpal tunnel from swelling in the first trimester.
