What amount of coffee is not safe to drink for a pregnant woman?

"Caffeine: Although most studies show that caffeine intake in moderation is OK, there are others that show that caffeine intake may be related to miscarriages. Avoid caffeine during the first trimester to reduce the likelihood of a miscarriage. As a general rule, caffeine should be limited to fewer than 300 mg per day during pregnancy. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it helps eliminate fluids from the body. This can result in water and calcium loss. It is important that you are drinking plenty of water, juice, and milk rather than caffeinated beverages. Some research shows that large amounts of caffeine are associated with miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and withdrawal symptoms in infants. The safest thing is to refrain from consuming caffeine."http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/foodstoavoid.html

Why is it better to loose inches and not weight?

Lost inches are a more objective way of measuring a movement towards a fitter body. A looser fitting pair of pants is a sure-fire way to tell one is losing weight. Weight loss can vary greatly with water weight (a function of salt consumption, medicine intake, caffeine intake), the amount of food consumed recently, the amount of waste carried in the bowels, the clothes being worn, the accuracy of the scale, and so on.
