Hi all My name is Melissa. I had my second child In March. He is now 5 months old. Trying to lose the baby weight then get to my ultimate goal weight! I am currently breastfeeding so I cannot overly lower calorie intake as it would affect my milk supply, but I am trying to work out lots and I am still tracking my food.…

Hi All!, I had second baby April 13th. Before getting pregnant I had lost 33 lbs using MFP and was 9 lbs away from my goal weight. I am now 26 lbs down. I have 12 lbs to go to get to pre-pregnancy weight then another 9 to get to my ultimate goal weight!!! 21 lbs total to go and I've been stuck on a plateau for almost a…

Update for me: 26 Weeks Pregnant and a gain of 20 lbs. I was hoping to gain about 25 lbs during the whole pregnancy, but looks like I'll be going over that which is fine. If I gain 1 lb a wk until the end, I'll have gained 34 lbs. It's still within the 25-35 lbs recommended, but one of the docs at my maternity clinic gave…

Well 18 weeks for me today and 15.8 lbs up! I was doing good the last 3 weeks, but this week I went up 4 lbs! YIKES. Am hoping to gain 25 lbs during the whole pregnancy, but i also know i cant "diet", i just need to make better food choices...Wish me luck! Melissa

New to this thread as well. I'm 16 weeks and I've gained 10.8 lbs already. I'm hoping to gain around 25 lbs, but my first trimester gain was quite high. It's slowing down a bit now. I knew carbs would do a number on my weight gain, but the last few weeks I've actually lost 1.4 lbs. I'm not starving myself or trying to…

16 weeks and 10.8 lbs gained. My first trimester gain was quite high, but now it seems to have slowed down some. I'm trying to gain about 25 lbs. I gained 27 lbs in my first pregnancy and I was really paying attention to my food intake then. This time around everyone keeps telling me I'll gain more than my first pregnancy,…

I'm 13 weeks 4 days pregnant and I've gained 7.8 lbs so far. This is my second pregnancy. I gained 28 bs with my first pregnancy. I am hoping to stay healthy and not gain too much as to stay healthy.

I am 13 weeks 4 days pregnant and so far I've gained 7.8 lbs. This is my second pregnancy. I gained 28 lbs with my first child. My initial weight with baby #1 was 170 and I weighed 198 the day before her birth. Before being pregnant with baby #2, I had lost 30 lbs using MFP. My start weight was 159. I was still considered…

Hi Ladies, I'm 12 weeks and already gained 8.2 lbs :( I had lost 30 lbs before this pregnancy (took 1 year), so it's a little hard seeing the weight creep back up, but I know this weight gain is for baby. This is my second child. I gained 27 lbs with my first without really knowing how to eat healthy. The first trimester…

Way to go all!! I've also decided yesterday to maintain until the Fall. I've been on this journey since Sept 4th 2011 and lost just under 31 lbs since then. I recently have just started plateauing for multiple weeks in a row. So I decided to up my calories to maintenance and try and not gain instead of beating myself up…

PW 159 CW 159 Also am stuck!! I haven't been working out as much, but I'm not ready to be in maintain mode just yet...9 lbs to go!!

PW: 159 CW: 159 Glad I didn't gain. It was Stampeded here in Calgary last week and I ate like a pig for a few days. Slowly getting back to healthy eating in the last few days which is why I'm sure I undid the damage those few days had done. Here's to going down next week ladies!!!

Challenge SW 165.2 PW 156 CW 158 GW for this challenge was 150 :( I feel sad I did not reach my challenge goal weight, but I am thankful I have lost 7.2 lbs since the beginning of this challenge. I am now 8 lbs away from my goal weight and I'm finding the last 10 lbs the hardest to lose permanently, but I'm not going to…
