Im about 5 weeks pregnant with our first child. WE have had 1 miscarriage last year but this one is going well. I am about 100 pounds over my ideal weight but my cholesterol, blood pressure etc is all normal and good. I know youre supposed to put on a certain amt of weight while preg but how much of that is baby, placenta, water etc and how much is just weight? How can I not pack on extra pounds beyond what Im supposed to (15 pounds), and stay healthy? I know you cant diet while pregnant, thats not what Im asking, Im ok with waiting to lose these pounds after I give birth, I really just dont want to increase those 100 pounds to 150! Id like to be low carb if possible (starches etc) focus on the healthy greens and veggies, fruits and also not always eat meat, maybe beans nuts soy tofu etc….
I just dont know what the guidelines are! Im new to pregnancy. Any suggestions, website links, book recommendations etc?

So heres how it starts. I just turned 17 in december. Im in my last year of high school and i will be graduating in june 2010. I am very overweight. Im about 5′10, a girl and weigh almost 300 pounds. I never had a boyfriend, im pretty sure that no guy ever had crush on me in my whole entire life. I have very low self estieem , i ate taking pictures, i hate looking at myself. I think that i am not pretty. I ate when i will be like walking in the mall or anywhere public and people will gave me a look, or will whisper something to their friend beside them and look at me. Or laugh at me. Im sick of this. I have been a heavy girl since grade 4. And i still remember the teasing and being called fat girl. I want to change, i want to have a better life style, i want to feel pretty for once, i want to be healthy, i want to keep my tomboyish look but still wear really stylish clothes. I have lots of friends and socialize alot but i seem to be putting restrictions to things that i could do. Like dont want to go somewhere where people will be like what is she doing here, shes too fat and ugly to be here. I have learned how to skate but i want to be better at it but i am always afraid to go to a skating rinks and have people looking at me and giving nasty looks or comments. I want to be able to walk down the streets without people passing with their cars and saying mean stuff. I want to have a boyfriend, i never kissed a guy in my life. I want to know how it feels to have a guy call you baby, and tell you that you are hot, your pretty, i want to know how it feels to be kinda loved even tho girls my age dont know and are to young to really know what love is. If i were skinny, i know that i would be different and more open to do things that i know i wouldnt do before. I want to have guys look at me, be interested in me. I want to be able to go snowbording, skiing, go on does skiing lift things with out people looking at me and saying i dont think this thing can lift you up. I want to be able to where shorts, go to the beach in summer and have a blast with a bunch of people, have a fling. I want to be able to go in a roller coster for once. I never even tried going cuz i just wouldnt feel comfortable and i know what people would be thinking or saying about me, i didnt want to hear it. I want to be healthier. I have this leg problem for about 4 years now. My left leg, well the area above the knee all the way down is swollen. Dont know why and its hard for me to find nice shoes to wear. It will fit in my right foot but not the left one. I told myself i bet that if i were skinny, i would not have this problem. i just want to be a healthy teenager, a comfortable teenager. I want to feel better and look good. And these days the word prom pops in my head. I really dont mind me not going to prom. like i dont see whats the point of it only being a very big waiste of money, but i know that if i went to prom, i would have no one to go with, and no guy will go with me, it would be super hard for me to find a dress, i would not look good in a dress. I really just want to be healthy before its too late. I dont want to have heart problems at a young age, im to young for that. i dont want to become diabetic or have high cholesterol problems. I want to be HEALTHY, PRETTY and BETTER.
So i have decide for the past week that im gonna be on a diet, and set myself a goal to what i can eat and how much weight i have to lose. I want to be able to lose at least 150 pounds and weigh about 150 pounds. I completly cut out juice from what i drink. I will and will only drink water. I started this for 3 days now. So i have been on a diet for almost 4 days. I only drink water, only eat fruits and veggies. I will try to excercise more. Like i have been walking to work for the past year every weekend which is like a 30 minutes walk, so thats a good beggining. no more chips, cookies, mcdonalds, pizza, shawarma, kraft dinner. only fruits veggies, healthy nuts. But right now im just changing completly on how and what i eat. I never eat in the morning before going to school, i heard thats bad to to do. Ive always been like this, its not that i dont want to eat, its cuz i have no time and i am not hungry in the mornings anyways. I heard that i have to change that. no more salty things, chips, chocolate, fries, burgers, candy. They only food that would be hrad for me to gave up is chesse. i really love cheese. i know that in a way it is a healthy product but very fattening at the same time.
I know i have to excercise more
eat less
watch wat i am eating
when i eat
no more eating past 7 o clock
no more mcdonalds
no more pizza
I just wish that right now i am so pumped and motivated inside to do this but in a way i wish there was like a prize at the end of this because i achieved my goal. Like if you lose all the weight that you want to lose you will win a car, or a good scholarship, or a very big amont of money. i guess that i am convinced now tha
