Is it possible to lose weight while pregnant?

Q: I’m 28 weeks pregnant and have gained 42 pounds!!! I was 130 (at 5’6, slim with muscle mass) and now I’m 172!!! I’m a junkfood junkie so have been giving in to my cravings without mercy and haven’t been excercising regularly. I haven’t gotten wider really – I just have a beachball belly and have gained fat in my arms, legs and face mostly. My question is – is it possible to lose some of the “bad” weight that I’ve gained and tone up now? Not by going on a diet (as in starving myself or cutting out essential carbs or meats) but as in eating completely healthy (no more junk food) and excercising by walking, swimming, and light strength training.Will this help me lose the ugly fat? Or will this just only let me maintain where I am? I really want to slim down my now-chubby arms and thighs.Any advice?Okay – I’m really wondering how many people on this thing can actually COMREPHEND a question when asked? Telling me that I’ll jepordize my baby’s health by eating healthy and excercising is ridiculous! That’s what I’m SUPPOSED to be doing and haven’t been. Also, telling me to give in to my cravings is a stupid idea. A few of them,yes…but if I gave into them all I’d be 250 pounds by now!! And since I crave nothing but junk what good does that do for my baby??? Nothing!! There are no nutrients in junk food!!!Before you answer – read the question above carefully – it’s very simple. It’s a yes, you can tone up and lose some of the fat if you start doing what you’re supposed to. Or no, you won’t gain any more bad fat if you eat right but you can’t tone up or lose it just yet.By the way people – my doctor TOLD me to cut the junk food and start excercising!!!! I’m not a high-risk pregnancy. I’m perfectly healthy and young!Okay – I can see I’m not going to get anywhere with people on this thing. Comprehension must not be a strong point on here. And swimming is one of the best excercises you can do during pregnancy.

A: Yes, you can lose weight while pregnant, but do so VERY slowly. As in, about 1 lb per week. From what I was told while I was pregnant, burning that fat releases toxins into the body. Doing too much at once could be harmful to your unborn child. I gained quite a bit of weight the first few months, realized I had to cut out giving into cravings, and lost a few pounds. By the time I had my daughter (39 weeks 5 days) I had only gained 19 pounds total. Working out will make labor easier. Walking and yoga are totally safe but one you get to the last six weeks you may want to stick to swimming because it is so low impact. Don’t forget to do your kegels they do help quite a bit. Good luck!! Even if you don’t ‘lose’ weight, you may be losing fat. As the baby grows, and the fat slowly dissipates, your weight may even out. As long as the baby continues to grow and have healthy vital signs, you should be fine. And stay hydrated!!

Q: Obviously, you gain weight while your pregnant, but is it possible to lose weight?

A: Yes, I did. With my first son. I gained a total of30 pounds during the pregnancy (baby weight only) and when I checked my weight at 4 weeks post-partum, I was 40 pounds lighter. You could tell during the pregnancy that I was losing as well because my arms got skinnier. I did not do this on purpose, I’m just diabetic and was forced to eat extremely healthy to maintain my sugars.
