Hello everyone! I am new to this site, and am planning on starting PP. I have had a weight problem pretty much my whole life and in the last 4-5 years have been at my heaviest weight ever, not to mention in the lowest of spirits!

Now, I am really scared because I am 205 llbs and 3 months pregnant, with my second child.......which means the weight is only uphill from here! Also, I have gained 8 llbs or so in these 3 months alone (which is maybe because i thought i had a reason to eat without watching what i ate) and now my blood pressure has increased. The weight is already getting quite uncormfotable and I think I better do something about it.

I understand everything about carb counting, but I am confused about calculating protein portions, and do they have to be followed?

pls help
