1st Trimester

Any weight watchers ladies?

Now that im pregnant (almost 8 weeks) i cant figure out how to get my eating under control! I feel like my whole plan has gone out the window. I am not sure what weight watchers recommends once you become pregnant? I looked on line and couldn't find anything.  On the new plan I was on 29 points a day. Any suggestions? Im eating like a horse!

  • You are not allowed to be on program while pregnant.  You can go back after you've given birth.

  • I was on WW for over a year. Although I'm not counting points anymore, I'm still writing down what I eat so I can keep a handle on it. If I don't track, I get completely carried away. I need the accountability.

    Basically, I plan to (loosely) follow the guidelines of the old Core or "Simply Filling" technique. It's a basic, healthy eating plan...more whole grains, lean protein, fruits & veggies. Less processed foods, added sugar, etc.

  • You should be eating a lot - most pregnant women require 2000 cals a day right now and 2300 starting 2nd tri. As someone used to dieting it's really hard to eat that much, especially when I feel like crap.

  • I was doing WW before my BFP, and was also on 29 points per day.  I just cancelled my subscription since they advise you not to follow while pregnant. They do have a program after delivery if you're breastfeeding (and obviously the regular program if you're not).

    I am by no means dieting now (and loving every second!) but I still like to keep track of what I'm eating in an effort to eat/drink enough fruits/veggies/whole grains/water.  I use the "Lose It" app on my iPhone. I figure it will be helpful for keeping track of weight gain later.

  • Thanks ladies. i had no idea we were "booted" once we became pregnant. lol.Although I really do understand for health and liability purposes. Im just so used to using that as my accountability. Maybe i will stick to the points on my own but just up it to like 35 points a day. They say we  need an extra 300 cals a day.

    Keep in mind the point amount you were using was to lose weight - you would need to up that to a maintenance point and THEN add the 300 calories. I use My Fitness Pal since I was pre pregnancy - just changed my goals from losing to maintain. I do it to make sure I'm eating enough since DD is still nursing.

    You actually don't start needing more calories until the second tri. So just eat to maintain for now.
