A tough weight loss question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: Before i found out i was pregnant i had an eating disorder for 3 years and also smoked.
I got better and got into a habit of keeping my food down and i quit smoking as soon as i found out i was pregnant. Im overjoyed because i had been trying to quit and get better for so long and struggled but knowing im responsible for another life helped me.
Anyway, its been 5 weeks and ive gained a bit of weight. Im very self concious but dont want to hurt my baby.
Is it okay for me to diet healthily to lose a few pounds or atleast not gain any more?
I’m 18 years old. I’m 5"6 and weigh 185 pounds.
I weighed about 140 pounds 8 weeks ago.
I dont want to be overweight.. I want to be able to see my baby belly and i want to be fit and healthy when my baby gets here.
I know you gain weight during pregnancy, I can gain the actual weight of the baby, I’d just like to lose some fat. I won’t have time to do it once baby is born.
Any advice is appreciated. <3
Answer: You are already gaining too much weight. 45 lbs in 8 weeks is a lot. It is more than what a woman should gain during the whole pregnancy.
Given your history, ask your doctor for a referral to a nutritionist. Ask the nutritionist for an eating plan that is healthy and will meet the baby’s gestational needs. Considering you gained so much weight so quickly, the doctor is also going to want to monitor you for gestational diabetes.
Right now, I would just concentrate on eating as healthy as you can–the nutritionist will help you with that- and doing low impact exercises such as walking and water aerobics. Do NOT start an exercise routine such as running or anything high impact if you were not exercising prior to the pregnancy.
Congratulations on your baby.
What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Hi there! Well I asked Many questions about how to lose weight and stuff But Never go through with it. But I Finally decided, I REALLY Do want to get in shape and Lose weight. I Haven’t Been Doing gym in school for maybe 2-3 years. :\ I’m 15 in july & I want t join YMCA to lose 5-15 pounds. 
I’m not sure how much i weigh tho. How Long should I work out for? I think That If my Mom does agree, That I’ll Mostly workout during a week,Take breaks On weekends. How Long Till I see Results? I’m 5′4 & I think, 130-145.
Thanks!
Also, Does YMCA Have Showers? Cause I don’t want to bus home all gross. XD
Answer: It all depends on your body, every one is different. It also depends on the effort you put forth. You could start seeing results after maybe 2 weeks-1 month. Just stick with it and before you know it, the numbers on the scale will be shrinking. GOOD LUCK [:
We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of weight loss. Let’s take a look:
Question: I’m trying to lose a lot of weight, but last time I lost weight they told me I was way too skinny and I wanted to exercise to lose more, but they would lecture me and tell me I looked like I was way too thin and If I exercised Id be a twig..so I didn’t exercise but I gained all the weight back because of them.
I’m now 160 at 5′4 and a size 11!!! Talk about morbid obesity, UGH!
3 years ago I was only 122.
My goal is to get to 115 and a size xsmall, but was wondering.. how can I do that without my parents noticing? What are some tricks to make myself look heavier when I get down to like 145..I want to like look like I’m 145 while i am in my house so they dont say anything and I can still exercise. Let me know thanks.
