growing normally and I am increasing in size as I would expect I have read many articles and books which tell me that I should be gaining between 0 5 and 1Lb a week but this is not happening for me I have a pre pregnancy bmi of 23 which is within the normal range eat a very healthy and varied diet and still do weights run and do aqua aerobics 3 4 times a week as well as walking daily I work with children so am always on my feet but can't even say I overdo it as I have plenty of rest time do forego some of my exercises if I feel too tired I have even given in to my cravings for black chocolate and mint icecream on occasion and have increased my calorie intake by around 3 400 calories a day but am not gaining the amount of weight considered healthy I mainly snack on nuts seeds and soft fruits which is no different to before I got pregnant I feel fantastic and dont look small for my dates so do I have anything to worry about with only gaining a few pounds so far your advice would be welcome Answer collins argyle 1 784 9/26/06 1:14 pm   Losing Weight Question Hi I started my pregnancy off at 136 lbs and gained 34 lbs total I am now at 132 lbs from dieting and seem to be stuck

It has been about a year now since I ran on a regular basis I try to stay fit by walking swimming doing out door activities and just staying active I noticed more and more lately that walking is really bothering my knees I have balls behind both of my knees and it feels like the blood flow from my knee to my feet is constrained Now I am afraid I will gain weight due to the lack of activity Do you suggest any cardio that I can do to stay fit that will not bother my knees Answer Sundy Visbal 1 1034 9/20/06 3:01 pm   Gained 55 pounds Question I gained 55 pounds during my pregnancy (I just had
