So pregnant and afriad of gaining all my lost weight

Go speak with a doctor.

Losing weight while pregnant (or trying to) is not healthy for you or baby. Keep doing what you were doing. Keep some exercise going while pregnant.

You can follow slimming world whilst you're pregnant.

lost 60lbs before finding out I was pregnant, now my cravings and appetite are getting me away from all the healthy habits I had been forming before, more veggies less sugar, less carbs. I know I'm going to gain but how much is too much? Would it be realistic to set goals to stay under? I know my health comes first but I can eat much healthier and scrape off 500-800 cals easy. I don't want to be one of those women that gains 80lbs for a 7lb baby.

I'm 5'3'' and 140lbs now i'm right at 14 weeks and its been hell so far, the only way i can describe it is that I feel like I have the flu, my muscles feel weak and achy and my bones and joints hurt. I'm super tired all the time and if it weren't for my anti nausea meds I'd be frolicking to the toilet half the day, I had morning sickness ALL DAY and frequently even now wake up from a dead sleep feeling like I may get sick.

The smell of some of the foods I used to eat scrunches my nose and sugar seems to settle my stomach. I had such a sweet tooth before and I made great stride toward curbing that but now it's the only thing I know will help. I've gained 6lbs after losing 15 since i got pregnant and I don't mind the pace now but if I continue I know the sugar is going to catch up with me.

I started a group called Fit, Fabulous, and Pregnant while I was pregnant. It is an awesome group of women who support each other and hold one another accountable for staying healthy while pregnant. I now have a beautiful, healthy baby...had gained 33lbs and have lost all but 5 of it and my baby is 2 months old today! I stayed active and worked out throughout my entire pregnancy and ate healthy 75% of the time. So it can be done! I'm an average woman who values being healthy so I'm not some freak of nature with abnormal genetics that I can eat whatever I want and am still thin... This group is a great place to have like minded women guide you through a healthy pregnancy! I hope you join!

With my first son, I had morning sickness soo bad. The only thing I knew wouldn't come right back up was McDonald's early on. I felt so guilty, but 3 months in, I had lost almost 20 pounds and needed any calories at that point.

I'm pregnant right now, at 31 weeks. I had to stop cutting back on calories. As well as most of my exercise as it was to intense. I was on Insanity when i found out I was pregnant. I have 9 weeks to go and at first I hardly gained anything, because of morning sickness. However, I did start gaining weight but not to much thankfully. Until the holidays came. I gained a bit more then I would have liked but I am back on track with what I should be gaining. Your doctor will def know what you should do. My doctor actually gave me a list of how much of everything I should eat. How many carbs, fat, protein and so forth.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Just try to enjoy the roller coaster you are now on. And everything will work out.

it's normal to put on 20-30lb in a pregnancy. The weight is more than just baby http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/eatingfortwo.html

Talk to your doctor and figure out what an appropriate diet for you would be.

well i was one of "those women who gained 80 lbs for a 7lb baby" i really was. my son will be a year old on the 20th and ive lost 120lbs so far. you're going to gain weight. no if ands or butts about it. you could probably gain 30 lbs and thats ok. just focus on your pregnancy right now. plus you gotta remember alot of the weight you gain will be placenta, umbilical cord, the baby. and breastfeeding helps alot to lose weight after you have the baby

Do your best to eat healthy, drink lots of water, walk regularly and do some moderate strength training. Keep up your diary, and don't fall into the myth of "eating for two" - that is talking about quality of nutrition, not quantity of food. If you're a member of a gym, their staff ought to be able to help you with a modified program that would be safe to follow. Being strong and healthy throughout pregnancy will help you to have a healthier baby, an easier delivery and a quicker recovery.

The question of losing weight while pregnant is kind of a loaded one - you should speak to a professional who actually knows you, like your doctor or prenatal care provider. But you absolutely should be tracking your diet and your weight gain to ensure that you and your baby are both healthy.

Toward the end of pregnancy #1, I had a doctor tell me I needed to stop gaining and that he'd be even happier if I lost a few pounds. I had gained about 40 pounds by that point and was at 232 pounds, which was starting to affect my blood pressure, etc. After I had my daughter, it took a long time to take it off. With my second pregnancy I gained nearly as much, but it came off much faster, and I credit a lot of that to my having exercised a bit more while pregnant, and having paid a bit more attention to my eating. Between breastfeeding and walking, the weight pretty much fell off after that pregnancy, so I was down about 60 lbs within 6 months.

My kids are now 7 and 4. I didn't even know I pregnant with the first until I was 13 weeks. I just thought I was gaining a little bit of weight. I was doing circuit training then and had to stop. Then the guidelines were about 250-500 extra healthy calories a day. and that sticks with you when you breastfeed afterwards. Breastfeeding makes the baby weight come off like quick silver. You want to keep exercising but you need to avoid anything that gets the heart rate too high. Brisk walking good, full out running may not be. Weight training is EXCELLENT. Again, always consult your doctor before doing anything, especially if your are pregnant.

Chat with a doctor about this, but keep in mind that you only need 150 extra calories until (I believe) either the second or third trimester, when you can have 300 extra. Sticking to those limits will help keep you from gaining more weight than you need to. I hope you feel better soon!
