Is it safe to lose weight while pregnant?
I am about 8 weeks pregnant. I am also about 50 lbs. overweight. I don’t want to do anything to hurt my baby, but I was wondering if there was any safe, healthy way to lose some weight while pregnant. I have read that being so overweight while pregnant can be dangerous to both mom and baby.

Wait till after the baby comes and just try to maintain a healthy weight gain through your pregnancy which is 15 to 25 pounds. If you are losing weight during your pregnancy then your baby will not get enough nutrients and this will cause your baby to have low birth weight which could lead to other defects as well. So just hold off for now. I say this just so you can keep mommy and baby healthy.
Hope you find this helpful!!

Lisa asks…
is it possible to lose weight while pregnant?
I know this seems like a stupid question but…
I’m over weight and about ten weeks pregnant. I plan on joining a gym after my baby is born but I want to exercise while pregnant since its good for you. So, is it possible to lose weight? I would mostly be focusing on my arms and legs since they are really chunky. (no, I am not like 300 pounds)
so, is it possible? if so, how?
weight loss cardiff answers:
It would be healthier if you didn’t try to lose weight while pregnant. Exercising and eating right would be fantastic for both you and the baby though. I would concentrate on not GAINING over 16 pounds while pregnant, which means you wouldn’t put ON any weight till you are about 5-6 months along. Congratulations!

Tone up but not lose weight while pregnant?
I know it’s not safe to diet or lose weight while pregnant. That’s not what I’m trying to do! I just want to tone up some areas if possible while I’m pregnant. I’m currently only 6 weeks, so I can still do crunches for the next few months. Any other suggestions or idea’s for -toning up- NOT losing weight.

Stair master, walking, jogging if u did that pre pregnancy? You don’t want to exercise to much harder then you did before you got pregnant
