Answer

I'm on the smaller side and for 4 years my husband and I follow the paleo diet. Honestly, it's hard to switch to but once you do it and your partner is on board it helps so much with weight management. It's also really healthy for the baby. High protein, no sugar, no preservatives, only water, no dairy. Basically the hunter  gatherer diet. Crap. Now that I type it, it sounds so bad and hard. But I have to have treats like
Pizza or a burger once a week or I'd be hangery. lol.

Answer

Girl, you look great! Weight is just a number and you carry it very well. 
I'm 5'9" and was 250lbs at the beginning of my first pregnancy and the doctor only said to eat healthy and maybe do some light exercise like walking. They don't want you to "diet" while pregnant. When you are a heavier weight you don't gain as much either. My doctor only wanted me to gain 10lbs and I gained around 15 but it all came off after I gave birth. I would definitely focus on losing after you give birth if you're unhappy. It is very easy to pack on the pounds when you are sitting around all day with a baby.

Following! I'm also 5'9 & 220 just found out I'm 4 weeks! My cousin who is 14 weeks is still smaller than me! I just want a healthy pregnancy & baby!

Answer

I would talk to your doctor and see what he/she says first. The first trimester is so important for the baby's growth and development. If you try "dieting" they may not get the nutrition they need. With that being said turn all your foods into health choices. If you want dessert eat fruit, fill up on greens and vegetables, only have one "cheat" meal. You maybe able to cut your calories "barely" just enough to off set your gaining weight but not losing it either. The way I see it is my baby needs me to be healthy and responsible for 9 month while he/she is developing in my body.  If I gain excessive amount of weight during I can work it off afterwards. I am in the same boat right now and trust me it is hard to even take my own advice. I want to lose weight so bad but it's too late now. By the way you all look great just keep making health choices then if your unhappy after the baby is born cut calories and step up the cardio. Good luck ladies 😊
