I didn't work out during my first tri because I was sick and exhausted. I didn't work out in my second tri because I was working my butt off. I've been walking and swimming in my third tri (heck of a time to start, btw), which feels amazing. We will see how it shakes out in a month! I've gained about 22-24 pounds so far.

This is my first pregnancy. Since I heard a lot good thing about exercising, I do exercise.
I used to run - but now since i'm weaker and always feel tired and sick, I try to walk using Walk away the pounds (4-5 miles/hour video) everyday or every other day. But as I feel tired faster than before, I only manage to walk around 3 miles instead of the whole video. But at least I'm still exercise. I guess it still counts.

I'm only 7 weeks but have gained 8 pounds, and it's freakin' me out!
I KNOW it's because I'm eating horrible food. for 3 weeks I couldn't look at a veggie without gagging. I went two days eating nearly nothing and then another two days eating cereal and real milk (which I haven't had in over a year) it was a week after that that i found out I was pregnant. Because I was so sick I dropped a good amount of weight, only to have it shoot up 8 pounds. I'm eating meat now. (was a veggitarian but unable to stomach the veggies right now) and lots of simple carbs. I'm trying to switch to more complex carbs but at the moment finding it hard to find something i can stomach that's somewhat healthy.

I was working out pretty good before I was pregnant and even the first couple week that I was. But I'm soooo tired now that it's hard enough going to my job (a very active job) I can't even look at my treadclimber without wanting to take a nap. BUT i'm really freaking out about gaining the weight I worked so hard these past years to lose. I really don't want to get any bigger than I am right at this moment. I'm going to start out slow...some extra exercise is better than nothing right now. And I can hope that in the second trimester I'll have more energy.

I'm working out five days a week and eating right again, now that I'm at the end of the first trimester and the sickness has dissipated. Still gaining weight. Up from 147 to 155 on average. For no reason. Even when I was eating too many carbs, the calories weren't astronomical and I wasn't eating a ton.
