Wow really? I’m 170 so it seems reasonable I’d burn a bit more but maybe mfp wasn’t as off as I thought. I suppose all the jumping would burn extra calories.

Oh yeah that makes sense to some degree im probably not going to worry about hitting a certain number of grams of fat or protein just cuz it seems complicated to me but thanks for the explanation of the calculations. But I'll definitly change my calorie goal and see how it goes for a bit

Ok I think that is making sense. So i used an online calculator and put in my info, it says my TDEE is 2152, so minus 20% is 1722. In 4-8 weeks if I'm losing more than 2 lb per week or whatever my target is, I raise the calories by 100 is that what you mean? Just clarifying ...and thanks for the help

I have been at the same weight for 2 or 3 months not just a week or two. I don't have any issue with making the meals tasty or whatever that's fine. I just can't eat a lot of carb because I've had insulin resistance issues. If I eat much of them I gain weight unfortunately so I'm not able to eat more than 20-30% carb but…

I had GD with my baby. I'm not pregnant anymore and it did go away. I did use insulin. Add me if you like.

Thank you for the replies! I am definitly trying to lose weight because of the diabetes and other reasons. I seem to only have issues with it during pregnancy but having gestational diabetes puts you at higher risk for diabetes overall.

I agree a doctors advice might be needed but I don't think it's anything to worry about. I was trying to conceive and read that excercise is fine. But my routine was kinda mild though. I had a miscarriage also and can see how it may cause concern. Def talk your doctor I bet it's fine
