Weight loss safe?

I know i need to talk to my dr about this when I go in but I'm curious if any other ladies lost weight during pregnancy if you were chubby or over weight. I'm not saying like 10 lbs bc you were sick. But got back down to a normal weight for you?

Did your dr okay it? Or were you told to just wait till after your pregnancy?

And I don't mean like dieting I mean like working out eating healthy and the weight just came off with leading a healthier life style?

*watching* been wondering the same thing.

I got lazy and gained some weight. And I want to start working out again after drs ok but I'm not sure if it would be totally terrible if I ended up at a healthier weight during pregnancy. As long as I'm not cutting calories and such.

I was a chub before I got pregnant. I lost 22lbs in my first trimester and gained 8 back in the 3rd.
Buttttttt I was sick, I wasn't exercising and eating well lol.
I kept the weight off by eating well and walking (But again, I only ate well because if I didn't I'd get sick).

Your dr wasn't worried or anything?

Nope because DD was growing perfectly. I never got big. I always measured small, but DD was fine.

Ah okay. I don't go in until the 16 th so I guess I'll ask if I have the clear to work out, and what level of exercise I can do.

Working out keeps me sane -.-

If you worked out before, moderate exercise is fine. Some women run up to the third trimester.

Hmmm. Yeah I did a lot of yoga and body weight training before.

As long as you're still within the healthy weight gain scale, your doc will tell you not to worry about it and not to do anything different. We all slip up and have weeks or days where we aren't as good as we should be. Just go back to your normal routine and don't change anything. You have to realize that atleast 10-15 pounds of what you gain is from baby. You really shouldn't be doing anything that could be considered a "diet" unless the doctor has mentioned that you need to slow your weight gain or stop it...and usually they will refer you to a dietician or give you some sort of plan that they normally give patients that are overweight. I had a friend who was obese during her pregnancy and her doctor's goal for her was just that she wouldn't gain ANY weight. He sent her to a dietician and set her up on a meal plan. If your doctor doesn't mention the weight gain, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Yoga is great during pregnancy  

Before I got pregnant this time, I was working on getting healthier. I cut calories down to 1,800 ish (I work a strenuous job) and had lost about 20lbs. Baby was a surprise, so I am still way overweight. My doc gave me a limit of gaining 10lbs this pregnancy but she said that if I lose too due to the healthy changes I've made that it's ok too. I can continue exercising but just have to be careful not to overdo it.

Definitely discuss with your doctor when you see them.

I am currently 17 weeks 3 days pregnant and have been at the same weight from beginning until now! I have not gained 1 pound. I did ask my dr about it and she said because I was overweight before pregnancy my body is just using the energy it needs to help baby grow. I am amazed at this with this pregnancy because with my previous 2 children (boys) I stayed extremely ill and gained over 20 lbs each time. This time I am staying at same weight and have not been sick at all (knocks on wood) and I can't wait to find out gender lol! I do try to eat healthy and walk as often as possible! I would definitely talk to your dr about it and see what they say!

I also started my current pregnancy carrying around 20 extra pounds of baby weight and was overweight (my daughter was only 3 mos old when we found out we were expecting again.) I talked to my doc about it and he said to keep doing what I was doing, moderate exercise is good for you, but that my goal should be to try to keep my weight gain under 20 lbs. Seriously, if its an issue, the doc will talk to you about it. He said that if I started gaining too much weight towards the end like I did with my first, we would talk about a dietician to get me through the rest of the pregnancy without any more weight gain, but for the time being we wouldn't worry about it.

before i got pregnant i weighed about 250. i was a big girl. i lost 60 pounds in the first tri. i was not sick or anything and i was eating but i don't know what happened my doc was not worried about the weight loss i guess due to how big i was. now i have only gained about 8 pounds back and i am 23 weeks.
