Hi! I'm 30 and 5'7" and 175 lbs. I have a 5 month old baby girl and am hoping to get down to the 140's. I was overweight when I got pregnant and loosing beyond my pre-baby weight has proven difficult. Hope we can help motivate each other!

Solo here! My hubby is pretty fit and can eat and drink whatever he wants to. One of my biggest challenges is saying no when he suggests eating out/ordering food!

Water Water Water! MY Dr told me to be sure that I'm drinking at least a gallon a day. Also, tracking on here has really helped me with portion control and keeping myself honest about making healthy choices.

Thanks for all of the support ladies! I went to my nutrition class and got my glucose meter this morning! So far so good on my numbers!

Yea, my fasting was 104 so I'm thinking that I may end up on meds too. We'll see though and hopefully I can do alright with diet :) How does being on medication effect your birth plan? I was originally going to use a water birthing facility on base, but have already been told that's no longer an option. Will medication…

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm 29 years old and 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I had lost about 50 lbs using MFP and then gained about 20 back in the 6 months leading up to my pregnancy (my then fiance, now husband, came back from a 6 month deployment and we got married shortly after so there was a…

This sounds terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that! This is my fear exactly - being scolded for something you didn't even know you were doing wrong! My husband is in the Air Force and I was seeing a nurse midwife until this diagnosis. Now they have me classified as high risk and I am being assigned a new physician who I will…

Thanks for the information and support! I wish they could have scheduled me with the nutritionist a little sooner as I spent most of the day looking up information online and feeling like I had done something wrong to cause this. I don't know anyone else with GD, so this has really helped! Steph
