I'm 24 weeks 2 days!! Still getting surprised reactions when strangers find out I'm pregnant! I find I still just look like I need to lose the baby weight from my first (14 months).
OT question: you guys are all so cute with your bumps. I have a bump but I've also gained A LOT in my arms and legs. I didn't work out much before my pregnancy, but if I were to try doing some arm and leg exercises, would it help/make a difference? Will my body burn fat at this point? I also have a lot of back fat. I'm just doughy all over now

Exercising your muscles will make a difference, and so will watching what you eat. If you are eating all the "food porn" then your not going to see much of a result. Also remember you are going to have some water weight and swelling with pregnancy. If you do start working out keep it light (since your just starting) and nothing that stresses on your back. Also check with your doc to see what they recommend.

Urgh, I was afraid I'd have to start eating healthier...haha.
I've definitely kind of let my eating habits and activity level fall by the wayside, and it's shocking how quickly your body changes shape, so I definitely want to get it under c control for the last 20 weeks as much as I can. Thank you!

In general, you shouldn't start a new exercise program during pregnancy without getting the ok from your doctor first. They may have some restrictions specific to you and can help you determine what is a healthy rate for you to lose fat. ETA: forgot to specify - during pregnancy

FWIW, I had my a/s today. Everything with baby was great, but I got the stink eye for not exercising. I exercise 0% I really hate it. My doc told me to do prenatal yoga. I can do that. Just the thought of cardio makes me hot.
