Weight loss while pregnant?

I know it isn't recommended and frowned upon  but I'm sure it isn't killer completely. I want to lose eight because at 2 months pregnant I already gained 6 pounds. Call it selfish. Call it what you will. I do not intend on blowing the heck up. So any suggestions on how to diet? (No not like starve, but what foods to avoid and what portions of what) I should start walking now!

I was doing insanity as well up until I found out I was pregnant again. I used to have a motorcycle that I rode with my first pregnancy until I was too uncomfortable to do so anymore.

Well I was doing insanity workout and I ride street motorcycles but I had to stop. So doctor said as long as my HB stays below 140 and I stop if I feel dizzy or nauseous and drink plenty of water and  stay off my back for the most part I'm okay.

I plan to gain 7.5 pounds for the baby, 1.5 pounds for the placenta, 2 pounds for the amniotic fluid, 2 pounds for uterine enlargement, 2 pounds for breast tissue, 2 pounds for blood volume, 4 pounds of fluid in maternal tissue, and 7 pounds of maternal fat stores for an average total of 30 pounds.
I already have a diet plan. And pregnant friendly exercises. Y'all seem to be extremely upset about how much I can care about my weight. I'll be fit after birth. Y'all negative nancy wait.
