Pregnancy and weight loss

Just read a great quote about pregnancy and weight loss by Jonny Bowden, M.A writing for iVillage.co.uk and wanted to share it with you -
Pregnancy and weight loss: iVillage

Here's the question

"I'm nearly three stone overweight and have just found out I’m pregnant. My doctor says I can walk on the treadmill three times a week for twenty minutes and then build up from there. Can I lose weight while I’m pregnant?

Here's Jonny's answer

"I get nervous when people talk about weight loss and pregnancy in the same breath. Pregnancy is not the time to worry about weight loss. You should concentrate on being as fit as you can, increasing or maintaining your aerobic capacity, keeping up your strength and endurance and eating well. There's plenty of time for more serious exercise and weight loss after you give birth. On the flip side, you shouldn't use pregnancy as an excuse to eat every kind of food in sight."
