Trying to lose weight while pregnant?

Question

I have a question on losing weight while pregnant. I'm 5'3" and 215 lbs so I'm a big girl. I've been trying to lose weight and have lost 8 lbs since Jan 7th. Today I just found out I am 4 weeks 6 days along. I'm trying to lose wigjt the healthy way through weight watchers. My MD told me before I was pregnant I needed to lose weight to avoid complications. Should I stop trying to lose or keep going and be healthy and sensible about it??

Answer

I lost 30pounds during my last pregnancy and was fine, just don't go nuts and talk to your Dr. I was walking a lot and eating healthier and a lot of water lol. Good luck sweety❤

Answer

In the first trimester I think it would be safe to lose weight as long as you are eating enough and not introducing any high intensity exercises that your body isn't used to. I would reach out to your doctor and see if she or he might be able to recommend a more specific meal plan that you can go by.

Answer

Don't eat sugars, fast food, breads/carbs, no pop...you'll probably lose 5-10 within a month if you cut all that stuff out. I too am trying to maintain a healthy weight since I have gestational diabetes I stopped eating and drinking that stuff and I've only gained 10 pounds.
You can also do light workouts while pregnant that will help too just try to burn as many calories as you take in.

Answer

Tell your WW meeting leader you're preg and they will tell you how to alter the program to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need with out all the crap.

Answer

If you stick to a healthy diet and low impact exercise your weight will be what it needs to be. Keep your doctor informed and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Answer

Healthy and sensible! Definitely talk to your doctor before continuing any exercise though! Just keep eating healthy for now ☺️

Answer

I'm 5'2 210lbs and 4w5d. Your post is pretty much identical to what I was going to post! I'm going to stick with my healthy diet and exercise with the hopes of losing weight and keeping baby and me healthy. Good luck and congrats!
