Answer

Hi, congratulations!!
When I found out I was pregnant I weighed 180lbs (5’3) (August 2019). To me this had been the heaviest I had ever been as I really let myself go by eating so much fast food (literally every meal). 
My dr had concerns because my BMI was too high, she suggested I not do anything drastic but to watch my weight a bit. 
I cut out most bad foods, and instead of going to a diet of 1,200 cal/day (recommended to lose 2lbs/week) I went to a 1,700 cal diet that included fats & bread for growing baby! I blocked my morning sickness with Diclectin too, so just by eating properly at my next Ob app (13 weeks) I was down to 170lbs! 
At 17 weeks I weighed 169lbs, and now at 22 weeks I weigh 172lbs (baby is growing) but during this time my Husband has been saying I look much slimmer (minus baby belly) and even my MIL says she can tell I’ve lost weight in my face, and legs! 
I wouldn’t recommend starting to exercise if you haven’t previously, that could cause complications, but walks are super healthy for you and baby! I try to walk if it’s within reasonable distance as well, and have a rule I never say no when asked to to help a family member grocery shop/ Christmas shop etc to get that extra walking in! 
Focus on being healthy food wise, and you’ll see a difference! When baby is born do some baby and me classes for weight loss and get into a habit of walking (that’s my plan) 
There’s also water aerobics classes I plan on going into I think that would be beneficial to you as well!
I know I haven’t loss a ton of weight with my method, but it’s not safe to while you’re carrying your baby! Focus on health now and if you keep it up after baby is born you’ll see a huge difference faster afterwards! 
Hopefully I’ve been some use! Good luck & regardless of your weight, you’re absolutely beautiful and your body is doing an amazing thing right now!

When I found out I was pregnant I was 6 weeks along. 
I lost half a stone just by cutting out the fizzy pop and upping my fruit intake (was still overweight) x I’m now 36 weeks and have put the half a stone back on but that’s it.
