I think of the “eating for two” like this. You ARE eating for two, meaning that you have to think of somebody else, not just yourself, while eating. Your choices are effecting two people. Not eating double the food.

I am 5’5 269 pounds and 17 weeks pregnant and my start weight was 289 😃

[@ConfidentMuzicTalks]

Crystal Vrba Howwwwww???

[@Crystal-vp7wr]

ConfidentMuzicTalks No soda, little to no sugar and very little carbs. I also switched to organic if I do eat carbs like bread. It’s little changes every day also at least 75 ounces of water and I take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and juice one lemon everyday (I mix the ACV in with 25 ounces of water and the lemon then I add a 1/2 a tablespoon of truvia) stevia) that’s what helps the most drink it every day. I learned to love it. But mainly I have been slowly changing my diet and not eating out which is what does the trick. If you look at processed foods and deep fried food as poison and not food then it’s not so hard to avoid them. I stay away from all oils except olive oil and coconut. So I am looking at all the labels and have dropped soy as well and I know that is what’s helping. It’s been a journey I got very sick two years ago so overtime I have been learning what foods are truly good for you and what foods though labeled healthy are actually bad. I like to listen to informational stuff in my spare time to learn and refresh (all health related) this is my second baby and I was six months postpartum when I got pregnant so my body wasn’t very happy with me getting pregnant so fast. I have leveled out at 268 and am praying to maintain that at least until he arrives then hopefully loose more. It really is one day one moment at a time reminding yourself to make the right choices. Easier said then done. and I try to eat good 80% of the time and give myself 20% breathing room.

Girl that's great! Unfortunately I have gained almost 10 pounds In 3 months now I know that 2 of those months was due to choclate lol but my start weight was 224 and I'm currently 230..I wanted to cry. I began dieting/juggling trying to eat more proteins and fats to make up for what I'm burning by doing daily 20 min excersise... but I'm not seeing any changes. I really hope to go down

Jenny Benny I lost 10 pounds during the 1st trimester naturally. Most women tend to lose 5-15 pounds before they even know they're pregnant. Once people find out their pregnant they tend to eat more than they need. If you don't you may not gain to much weight if any.

I’ve lost 30lbs from my prepregnancy weight And I’m 6 months pregnant. I worked out for an hour per day high intensity workout and ate 1500 calories per day. Now I’m so far along I need to slow down the workouts and my weight loss has slowed to 1lbs per week.

[@sarahasan7299]

Hello can u give me details on how u did that Im 6 week pregnant and obese

[@lunayoureright]

@@sarahasan7299 it’s sort of complicated but also simple in a way. . .well I stuffed myself with fruit 🍉 in the mornings and veggies at night. No matter WHAT I ate and how fattening it was I always made sure 50% of the plate was veg. (So keep prewashed salad in the fridge plus any pickled salads you like, in the fridge) When I craved something “bad” such as pasta I would make sure it included equal parts vegetables. So I would make mushroom garlic zucchini olive oil bow tie pasta and eat it with a half plateful of salad. The third thing I did was realize everything I was craving was either salty and savory, or sweet or Carby. So that made it easy to substitute fast food burgers for salty cheese and crackers with prosciutto. It’s a very salty snack and hit the spot. The fourth thing was drinking at least 2 glasses of milk per day plus having yogurt and string cheese snacks to prevent binges. And one glass of milk was always with dinner. I hope this serves you well because it DOES work. If you have fruit then if still hungry granola yogurt then if still hungry oatmeal you give yourself healthy road bumps. Then for lunch do pasta with veggies then for dinner do fish or chicken breast with equal parts veggies, you’ll be golden. I’m actually in my last month or so now according to my doc( in my original post I assumed 6 months because I didn’t know I was pregnant until in my 3rd trimester due to only having 3 periods for all of 2020) and I’m still losing half a pound per week while the baby is growing half to a full lbs per week. * and if you do eat naughty things, no matter what, Make the effort to serve fattening food with equal part veggies and you must eat all of the veggies 🥦

A TIP: I’ve heard that when you are craving something, eat it AFTER eating healthy nutrients. That way you don’t fill up on just cravings, but you also don’t deprive yourself. You can use it as a reward for a healthy choice! Also you can reward yourself with a nap or spa treatment if you can say no to cravings! (Also some cravings can be from a deficiency of certain vitamins or iron or something, so if you have a persistent one, maybe ask a doctor if you need a supplement or test.. otherwise they are pretty darn normal! :)

Just started the video! Right now I’m 5’4” I was 152 at the time of conception, I went up to 163 overnight (which happened in my last pregnancy as well, I weigh myself daily) and started dealing with hyperemesis. I started to lose weight, THEN I got prescribed a medication that made me feel like a new woman, no more sickness. What came with that was the overwhelming need to eat constantly because “I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat again” my weight shot up to 170, I’m so uncomfortable with this weight gain. I’m finally not feeling like binging anymore and making better choices, I want to get some of the weight off now. I’m over weight now, and was 3 pounds over weight when I conceived. I’m sick of feeling fat and uncomfortable, my kangaroo belly from my last baby is bulging out now like never before. My booty that used to be toned is flattened and nowhere near as “epic” I used to have women come up to me and compliment me on my booty 😭. It’s so hard to fight insatiable hunger. I’m finally getting active again, I was active before pregnancy, like CrossFit going, on my feet 8-12 hours a day active, my goal is to get back to at least almost as active again. I also have low blood sugar and my midwife wants me to stay away from sweets and carbs in general, but dang! It’s hard!!!

Yes we know we should be doing exercises we are aware but it’s so easy for men to say that when they have no idea what it feels like you have no idea what it’s like for every part of your body to ache. I used to run 30 miles every week now when I try to jog with my dogs I feel like my knees are going to break. So please sit the fuck down and quit acting like you males have any fucking idea what your talking about I’ll trust a male doctor that’s had a pregnant wife but not some dumb ass machismo infested men try to tell any pregnant woman what the fuck they should and shouldn’t be doing.

[@ElohimsLily]

I'm confused. He literally didn't say anything mean. He just gave suggestions about types of exercises you may enjoy. He didn't say you have to exercise or you shouldn't be eating this or that. He wasn't condescending. He wasn't offensive or anything close to it. And keep in mind, some of the women commenting may have never been pregnant either so why be so ready to beat down on someone that wasn't even mean just because he has a penis. That's so odd.

[@zeniabautista6589]

1,700 calories a day is what you should be doing depending on your height and weight when not pregnant lol plz ask your ob what the recomendable caloric intake is before you even act like what he just said is even moderately correct. Women gain 15-28 lbs while pregnant. My weight gain has only been 20 and I eat at least 3,500 calories a day

[@ElohimsLily]

He said no fewer hun. Not that you should only be consuming 1,700 calories a day. Whether he is right or not, his delivery was not rude at all. You just went off.

With both my pregnancies I started at the same weight (already overweight). With my first baby I ate whatever I wanted and gained about 40lbs. With my second baby I ate plenty of calories but chose the absolute healthiest things I could and gained 15 lbs. I can definitely tell you which I prefer! I'm hoping to START my next pregnancy already at a healthier weight.

[@jahblessangelina8707]

I visited my gynecologist this week and after she asked how is my pregnancy going (12 weeks) I told her that I’m very fine thanks to God and that the only concern is that I don’t have appetite. As I am l lightly obese (95 kg with 1,71 m) she was happy and told me oh it’s totally fine! It would be good if you loose weight during your pregnancy, you don’t need to worry your baby will not starve. I was happy but then I researched on the internet and many people are totally against loosing weight during pregnancy so I was confused. To see that you did it and other did too and everything went fine just gives me hope and makes me happy because now I know, I can just listen to my body without concerns and that I don’t need to eat if my body doesn’t want that

I appreciate you addressing this. I started off a bit overweight due to recovery from back surgery in the year prior. I am only 12 weeks now, and am determined to stay strong and not gain much weight as that will not be good for my back! Of course, I will eat enough and nutritiously. I just want to stay active and healthy.

I think it's also important to remember that water retention is also a big part of it. I didn't overeat and I still got huge! Then after I almost deflated, and it was just water retention. Great video, thanks for talking about this topic.

I am 5'7" and weighed 228 when I found out I was pregnant.

I follow a pretty strict diet with it and yet I'm still gaining weight. I'm 33 weeks now. I've been diagnosed with GD, chronic hypertension and a myriad of other issues. I was working out but started spotting and was told to take it easy

[@wordsme]

I recommend noticing if you have heartburn (which happens a lot to pregnant women) because it may make you feel hungry and you’ll eat something just to ease the discomfort. If you treat it by making life style changes or taking some meds, weight loss will be so much easier.

I started 97.6kg, now 33 weeks into pregnancy I am currently weight 92.6kg and my OB is happy with that. It all started from when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I went from high starchy diet to completely cut off carbohydrates, I do full keto lifestyle, it wasn't hard, I wasn't starving at all, just have to resist temptation for any guilty food. Since my babe is still large (85th percentile) I plan to do intermittent fasting as well, predict further weight lost and I am looking forward.

In order to keep the weight off you just have to eat healthy..first pregnancy gained 50lbs..ate everything I wanted or that body would tolerate..last pregnancy only gained 10-15 lbs.i made better choices and I was not eating a lot of fastfood.

Second trimester was definitely the most gain! 202->214 ish between 12w and 27w. 27w to 32w I’ve ‘only’ gained 2 lbs to 216lb. 8 weeks left and I’m still 6lbs under starting weight. Baby is definitely most of of my 14lb gain, he measured 5 and a half pounds at 31w5d 🥴 he’s definitely getting what he needs!

This is actually what you should be doing pregnant or not.

[@crystalwolfe6794]

Well yes, but being pregnant is a great motivation for woman to stop doing things they know are terrible for them, because they know it’s now effecting their little human. I was a really bad smoker since 14 till 19 years old, and I tried so hard to quit all the time, and just absolutely could not, as soon as I got a positive pregnancy test I quit immediately and never touched another one. For a lot of woman, getting pregnant is exactly what it takes to ditch bad habits they’ve had before. It never hurts to hear things we should be doing for our bodies, even if we already know. Reminders are good
