You shouldn't try to lose weight while pregnant. That will release the toxins stored in the fat and isn't good for baby. You have gained 50% more blood supply which weighs a lot, that is where most of the weight in 1st tri comes from + fluids. What you can do is to eat a healthy diet and stay away from junk and then you will gain only what baby needs. Plenty of time after baby is here to lose weight

even if you lost the weight you're going to gain it back AND more anyway.. Focus on losing weight AFTER your LO is born. I lost 14 lbs from week 6 to week 14 due to morning sickness, I was 144 when I found out I was pregnant at 4wks.. Now I'm 23 wks and I'm 153. So too me it's pointless to try to lose any weight cause you'll gain it back very fast.

I agree, it's not good to try to lose weight while pregnant, though often we do (I lost weight for no reason, I was eating heaps). You've got all the time in the world to diet once baby is born.

all you need to do is eat sensibly and make sure you don't overeat. You're going to gain some weight during pregnancy but you can keep it to a minimum.

Definitely shouldn't diet during pregnancy no matter HOW overweight you are!
