Losing weight pregnant

I heard a woman can stay fit while pregnant well I did 40 mins on the treadmill today felt great. I wanna lose 9 pounds because this fat girl is gonna be honest lol I am 9 pounds over what I should be pregnant over all until 30 weeks and Ive seen alot of women develop alot of health issues pregnant. Im gonna keep healthy and do this. I think the eating thing is all mental. I have fat girl stuffed now I have to be healthy. No more fast food :-) lol Wish me luck Ima need it lol

I don't think u should try to lose weight... If ur gaining weight too quickly try changing ur  eating habits... When ur pregnant u should never try to lose weight..

Thanks Ladies, I am finished with the junk too :-) @Ivan thats not bad because most of the weigjt is baby the placenta gets up to 15 pounds and the baby can be from 5 to 9 pounds so your just all baby mostly when you give birth youll be thin again fast

Good Luck
At 26 weeks I've only gained 3.5 Lbs
Honestly it's what you chose to eat that makes a huge difference. Get the junk out of the cabinets and fill your fridge with fruits & veggies. I'm known to sit in front of the TV with a bowl of grapes. I don't really have the time to work out since I work 6 days a week 8-13 hours a day.

I was very active before I got pregnant. I weighed 135 and 5ft5inches tall. I used the treadmill, elliptical, my bike about 4-5 days a week. Then became pregnant and felt sick and couldn't work out. When I started feeling better and I'd walk, which lasted a couple weeks, then felt yucky again. Then I lost motivation because I think what's the point? I won't use weight so I've decided to just wait till after I have the baby. I have a pretty active job so I am getting exercise daily. I've gained 26-27lbs.
