Hi there! There have been a number of posts lately regarding weight gain. I believe everyone is entitled to choose how they manage their weight during pregnancy and that choice is extremely personal and unique to each individual. Even whether or not a woman tracks her weight during pregnancy should be completely up to her and her medical team.
That said, I would love to connect with some Bumpers who use MyFitnessPal to track nutrition, calorie intake, and weight fluctuations for the remaining duration of my pregnancy and postpartum period. I've found great comfort in using MFP as a tool to control my weight gain ever since I failed the 1-hour glucose test and started gaining 2-3lbs/week. I've been using it for almost 3 weeks now and have slowed my weight gain to 0.5lbs/week and am back within my comfort level for total weight gained to date. Thankfully, my pancreas and placenta aren't total fuck-ups and they passed the 3-hour test.
What's lacking for me from the app is a social component. If anyone would like to add me, my username is sarahellenlipinski and if you want me to add you (because sometimes we're lazy and that's cool) you can post your username below or PM it to me. I keep my food diary public for anyone to peruse and I have added a lot of recipes (I have a Blue Apron subscription). If anyone else has their food diary set to public, that would be sweet as I would love to see new meal and snack ideas because I am not the most creative lady. I also created a new group in MFP called Reddit Bumpers and Beyond. It's set to to public for now, so please join! It will make it a lot easier for us to find each other.
I think those of us who manage our nutrition in a similar manner could benefit from being more connected. I also plan to xpost this to /r/postpartumprogress which I love as a subreddit and hope to make more active after I deliver my child. Health and fitness is important to me and I want to surround myself with like-minded moms and moms-to-be!
Thank you!
