Anyone maintain weight loss by just walking?

Question

Anyone exercise while pregnant? I’m hoping I can keep some weight off by walking on the treadmill and using some light weights for my arms.

Answer

I was working out 6 days a week before pregnancy and now only 4 days a week. Weight gain is natural during pregnancy. Even with working out and eating healthy I still have gained 15-16 pounds and I’m 30 weeks pregnant. Staying active is great for your body and pregnancy but not really meant for weight loss or even weight maintenance.

Answer

Its good to stay healthy while pregnant but in regards to weight loss I wouldn't worry to much about that while your pregnant. Unless you were maybe overweight prior. It comes off pretty fast. I gained about 35 pounds and at 4 weeks PP I'm only 10 pounds less than I was pre pregnancy and I haven't even tried to do anything to lose weight yet!

Answer

I'm 30 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds! Which is a shock cause I gained a lot with my last baby and both of them I walked a lot! This time I am definitely walking more though eating a bit healthier. Mainly not eating so much fast food.

Answer

I thought I was keeping weight off by walking everyday. Now from 18 to 20 weeks I gained 10 pounds. I haven’t done anything different.

Answer

I lost all baby weight I gained (27 lbs) by 4 weeks pp. I wasn’t cleared for exercise yet, obviously, so I just walked when I felt up for it from about 2 weeks pp. I did resume other workouts once I was cleared for exercise and ended up about 10 lbs thinner than I had been pre-pregnancy. I maintained that with working out and walking for 17 months until I fell pregnant with my second. I also eat healthy 75% of the time, but am not overly strict and still eat plenty of pizza and beer (and other calorie dense stuff) on occasion.

Answer

I’m 16 weeks and haven’t gained anything yet. I have a little stepper machine I do everyday for anywhere from 10-20min a day. I’ve skipped a day here and there. This is my second pregnancy and with my first I gained 28lbs and weight just fell off After. I’m hoping for the same this time ha . Hoping the exercise will help with labor as well.
