  • Hey guys!
    I am new to this group. I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second child. During my first pregnancy I somehow gained 70lbs!

    I ate healthy and exercised the first 6 months, then just gave up I guess after that. This time around I want to do it "right" and eat healthy like i should. I've been using MFP, so I'm hoping it will help me with this!! I'm glad there is a group like this on here!

    I'll post a picture once I Figure it out!! ;)
