I think OscarBoo does Zumba too if I remember correctly.

Yep there is plenty of exercises you can do while preggy, however the general rule is not to start anything new, i.e. if you weren't running (or doing something like Zumba) before hand and haven't been during, then it's not the best time to start. But walking and swimming are both good exercises to do during pregnancy.
In terms of calorie intake, it's recommended during the 2nd trimester to eat maintenance calories and during the 3rd tri to up it by 200-300 calories.
My Fitness Pal is really good and can give you a good estimate of how many calories you should require. I haven't been tracking my food all that accurately recently as I felt I was getting too obsessive with it.
Also definitely talk to your MW and let her know how you are feeling, she may have resources available to help you too

I have only just seen the posts in here. I'm like MD - just trying hard to not gain too much during this pregnancy. I was a bit like you with my last one sharlene by 14 I had gain around 12kg if I remember rightly. By the end I had gained a whooping 25kg. I got it all off in the end but took about 2 years to do so. I am gaining again this time as well but am almost 20weeks now and only gained between 7-8kg so a big improvement on last time. I don't do zumba - tried a while ago but just too un-co but try to get out walking whenever I can and with being a Kindergarten teacher am on my feet most of the day anyway. I don't really have any advice for you other than to try and make healthy choices.

Escadachic your body might be happy where it is since you have lost 26 kilos. Changing what you eat/exercising can put your body to overdrive. It is really hard on how much we want to do lose the last few kgs but our bodies say enough is enough.

Honestly Jazzy you need to get off those scales, my trainer always tells me that I'm addicted to getting on them and it's hindering my weightloss and he's so right, I'm trying only to get on once a week now and it's made a hell of a difference!

I know how you feel Jazzy.
I've decided to ignore my scales for a while. I was addicted to checking them and would get super pissed off if they didn't tell me something good.

Have you heard about losing weight without exercise mine too just kidding. I have worked a lot on my weight and yes right now I feel comfortable and satisfied with my weight. As I always preferred green tea, green vegetable, Yoga, 3-4 Liters of water on daily basis and trampoline exercise because I don’t have much time for gym. I love to play with my kids on mini trampoline. Am not doing exercise am just playing jumping with my kids by using trampoline with enclosure net. You all can try this once it’s really good for you and for your kids also. https://www.happytrampoline.com/combo-specials.html

I know this may be the wrong place to write this but....
I am quite annoyed by the fact that I've put on so much weight during this pregnancy. I have no idea how much I weigh but it can't be good. I feel like going on a diet the moment I give birth (of course that's not practical).
| I put on 15kg and most of that was put on in the first trimester because of MS And then in the last trimester a lot of my gain was also fluid retention. 7 weeks after birth I am now 3kg off my pre preg weight I read somewhere that 12 - 18kg is the normal range. If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose weight even during your pregnancy. The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week. Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster. Yoga burns calories when done the right way. If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week. This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me during my pregnancy when I started gaining too much weight. Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level. If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results. Good luck! Mandy
