    I'm not preggo but I've thought about how I would log calories and stuff if I was. I think you should just talk to your doc. or a registered dietician about how many calories you should be consuming... I haven't looked at how much weight you want to lose but it might be possible to keep losing or at least maintain your weight through the pregnancy. I know you're supposed to gain around 30 lbs from your healthy weight while prego so if you figure out what your bmi weight range is you can probably figure out how much you should gain. (if you need to gain at all) I don't know if that made a ton of sense but I'll stick to my original statement... definitely talk to your doc and/or a registered dietician. :o) And CONGRATS!!! :flowerforyou: I can't wait til it's time to get prego for me and my hubby! (one day far far away though! :wink: )

    I know! Sometimes it's hard to even eat 1200 calories! 2000 seems like a BIG number! But at least you're already 7 months so in two more months you can work on losing... haha... fun stuff. :wink: Breastfeeding will help with that though! :o)

    You need to check with your doctor, however, your main concern right now should be eating enough for your baby.....not LOSING weight!

    Also, you need to watch your exercise in these last two months as you need to keep your heart rate to a minimum amount ..... again, something your doctor will advise you of.
