Weight loss okay while pregnant?

Question

Okay so I am considered “obese”. 5 foot 4 and 195 pounds. 
Before I found out I was pregnant, I was working out, eating about 1500 calories a day, and steadily losing weight. 
Is this okay to maintain? I called my doctor to ask, and I still haven’t gotten a call back 🤷🏽‍♀️
I’ve read that losing weight can be healthy for pregnant women, as long as they are getting all of their nutrients, and not starving themselves/ working out too hard.

Answer

I’m in the same boat! I was working on losing weight before I found out. I was told to just keep doing what I’m doing.

Answer

You can keep doing what you were doing before you got pregnant if you were doing it for more than a few months. As far as calories, this can vary... but your baby doesn’t actually start feeding off your nutrients until around the 2nd trimester. So eating at a deficit is okay until then! Keep up the good work!

Answer

I’m in the same boat. 5’4 and started my pregnancy at 180. Last summer I was 155 😩 so before finding out I was pregnant, I was on a healthy diet and losing weight trying to get back to that. From what I’ve read, it’s completely healthy to lose a few pounds so long as your not starving yourself. 1500 calories is plenty. In the first trimester we’re not really supposed to up our calorie intake yet anyways so you should be fine with what you were doing. I’m sticking to my ‘diet’ as well even though I don’t really like to call it that. I’m eating 3 meals a day and working out. I know I can’t and won’t get back to what I was right now but I’d even be happy if I just lost 5 more pounds. I’m also considered obese which is crazy bc we are definitely NOT obese! Just keep doing what your doing! Losing a couple pounds a week isn’t going to harm your growing bean right now. It may even benefit ♥️

Answer

Yes, I’m nervous about this. I was steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week before I found out.
They say do what you were doing before regarding calories, but I’m confused if that includes a calorie deficit or not.

Answer

I'm in the same boat I had weight loss surgery in Oct and so I am still losing weight and from what I understood if,you are overweight it is fine to be losing weight in the first trimester and then maintaining your weight the rest of the pregnancy

Answer

I read that you shouldn't go under 1700 calories a day. I was doing 1450 a day and increased to 1700 when I got pregnant.
