Weight loss in pregnancy?

[Adia]

Great! The walking is wonderful, but it's cardio and not really muscle building. I'm happy to see that you've added some weight work to your routine, that'll help! Keep going with that and you'll probably start to slim right back down without losing an ounce.

You don't even need much equipment - some of the most efficient strength building exercises are bodyweight only. Seriously, just add some pushups everyday - takes no time at all and it works your entire core and most of your upper body.

Thanks girl! I can add in push-up and other resistance exercises. All I need is the floor for that!

If my arms are going to be bulky, I'd rather it be muscle than fat!!

You wont get bulky, just tonned

I know you ladies are right.

I am running out of clothes that fit and if I could jump into maternity clothes, that would be great, but until then....I feel people I know looking at me too.
I am not a super fit person but I make a big effort to stay fit enough so I feel the curious eyes on me when I am chit chatting with a neighbor or a friend....ugh, I know this will be worth it if I get a healthy baby, regardless of gender, but it is getting frustrating to be gaining weight with no good 'obvious' reason.

Thanks for the feedback, it helps tremendously. DH keeps telling me I look fine, but I know how men operate, they fear for their lives so they tell us what we want to hear.

Not to be a big annoying nag but that is why I want blue swayers to drop the Shettles "one attempt only right at ovulation", because that does not yield the best odds of pg and for blue, the longer you go on diet, the more you tend to gain. I suggest 2-3 attempts up to as many as you can squeeze in, starting at pos OPK.

Women CAN'T get bulky unless you are taking some pretty scary supplements (none of which we are using.) or are starting out on the burly side to begin with. It's physically impossible without assistance from Dr. Feelgood.

yikes, my baby isn't going to be healthy I guess because I lost 15 lbs when I got pregnant :-( Now I am worried....

Don't worry, people do lose weight sometimes and strong healthy babies of either gender do just fine. We are trying to help the ones who are a little weaker from the get go to have the best chance possible.
