Talking Has Anyone been pregnant and lost weight?

Hey Everyone how's it going today?
Yesterday I wrote a message and I got some helpful replies, thanks you to Slim and Barb

I still would like to know though, has anyone been pregnant and either maintained or lost weight through there pregnancy. I know, it's not a good idea to try to lose weight when you are pregnant. I wouldn't want to do anything to my baby.
It's weird because, when I was pregnant last time my doctor told me since i was over weight, I didn't have to gain that 15-20 people normally put on. Of course I gained a whooping 40. (I eat really bad) when I was 7 mth preg, my doctor told me to cut out the carbs, she actually said carb's do nothing for your baby, its the protein they need. So I was like, "crap, I could have been doing this through my whole pregnancy and not gained anything."
Anyway, after the baby, I just couldn't get my self motivated to lose weight. My husband was like, "Hun, ahhh, weren't you planing to lose weight after the baby" now its eight mths later and I am still over weight only losing the initial baby weight - 38 pounds. I am soooooo depressed. Now I might be pregnant again. UGH!
So I really need people to help me out here. Please tell me anything you've heard about woman who are pregnant and are overweight. I think I can do some lite Atkins, without the whole ketosis thing, right?
Right now I am doing the intro (starting today). If I find out I am preg, I will stop.

So what do you guys think? Can I lose weight or maintain during preg?

And here is a question I asked last time, but I don't think anyone answered me so here its is again.

What is the most weight possible to lose during intro?
I think 15lbs. What do you guys think?

Thanks for ready my rambling, sorry just desperate for knowledge.

Tima
