Hi, I have an idea....First of all you
should work out...I hate to do it but it
works, also what you should do is watch
your carb intake(breads, pasta's, chips) I
would think of meals like this...
Breakfast-peice of fruit and then like
oatmeal or raisin bran cereal
lunch-turkey slices or ham with carrot
stick
dinner-any meat-fish is really good for
you unless pregnant, a vegetable, you
could even do rice.
Pretty much just eat healthy....Sorry not
very good at explaining things.Good luck.
And I think you are a good weight right
now if you even just exercised 3 times a
week you should be fine.

I would say you're at a healthy weight
right now, but I know how it feels to be
self-conscuous about your body. In all
honesty, the only way to keep weight off
is to cut calories - exercise can help,
but unless you do it on a very regular
basis, you won't keep the weight off.
Eating healthier and a bit less can help
you in the long run.
For example, if you normally take in 2000
calories a day, try cutting back to 1500 a
day. Doing this, you could lose a pound a
week, even if you do nothing but sit on
your duff and watch television all the
time. How's this work? Very simply: 1
pound is equal to 3500 calories. 500
calories a day x 7 days in a week = 3500.
If you want to really go nuts, cut out
1000 calories a day - eat lots of lowfat
or nonfat foods so you can stuff your face
silly and not take in a sickening amount
of calories. Drink lots of water because
water will make you feel really full and
will discourage excess between-meal
snacking.
But, since this topic is in the getting
pregnant forum, if you are indeed
pregnant, don't follow any of what I said
at this time in your life. You should
actually be taking in at least 400 extra
calories a day for your child and doing
maybe a little bit of light exercise.
