Hi! Have you tested yet or find anything out? Yes you can work out while you are pregnant and the doctors ENCOURAGE you to do so. The losing weight while pregnant would depend on how overweight you are (how far away from your ideal weight medically speaking). I don't think they recommend "dieting" per say, but eating a very healthy diet and no junk, if you are overweight, would slim you down to gaining HEALTHY weight during pregnancy. The amount of weight you are recommended to gain depends on how far away from your ideal weight you are. Your Dr will cover all this with you and you can ask them how much weight you should gain, amount and intensity of exercise and so on just ask. Hope you got your BFP!

What are you doing to lose the weight ? X

 

[amber87jones]

dieting, working out 5x a week, all the same things I use to

If you're working out, eating the right foods and still not losing then maybe pop to the docs and have a word as you really should lose if your exercising and eating right

Whats your typical daily meal plan ?

 

[ds0910]

What type of foods are you eating? What type of exercise? If you are doing all the right things then I would definitely speak with your Dr about it. I'm sure that's very frustrating.

Hello there , I am also plus sized and trying to lose the weight!. If you are indeed pregnant your doctor may suggest you only gain what is absolutely needed during your gestation, about 15lb depending on your overall condition. I've heard of women losing weight during their pregnancy but I would be very careful.. You only need an extra 300 calories for baby each day anyways and most of the weight you will put on is just amniotic fluid and placenta along with the extra blood you will have circulating around. Just continue to eat healthy foods but don't be too restricting, You should do low-impact exercise like swimming and walking that are gentle on the body, aqua-aerobics is also good if you are preggers . good luck!.
