[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would encourage you to just focus on making each meal as healthy as possible rather than losing weight. Ie for breakfast instead of cereal have oatmeal with fruit and nuts, scrambled eggs with avocado and sliced tomato and a small piece of 100 percent whole wheat toast. For lunch instead of a sandwich have a big salad with lots of veggies, lean protein, nuts, and oil and vinegar. For snacks, have fruit, veggies, and/protein. Like cottage cheese and berries, string cheese and an apple, almonds and a clementine, carrots and hummus, etc. For dinners make sure you have a complex carb (ie sweet potato, quinoa), protein, and that half your plate is veggies. Cut out sugary drinks, refined carbs, etc. Swap out white pasta for whole wheat or better yet, zucchini noodles. Swap white rice for cauli rice, etc. Focus on eating as well for the baby as you can, and staying hydrated. Small changes to your diet (like swapping out refined carbs for complex, or adding more protein and veggies) can really add up. That should be your focus, not weight loss. Also, walking is a great exercise program. Getting a fitness tracker and aiming for 10,000 steps a day is a great place to start. Focus on just being healthy and eating healthy in your pregnancy. Don’t worry about the scale! [/quote]
