    5' 3/4", started at 179 (yeah, I definitely needed to lose weight before I even got pregnant, but he was a little bit of a surprise...)
    weighed 204 right before I gave birth.

    It took me 2 1/2 years to a) work off the pregnancy weight and b) get down to the healthy weight for my size (a total of 57 lbs).

    I intend on being this weight whenever we decide to have kiddo number 2, so we'll see what happens weight wise with the next pregnancy.

    For all to see...lol.

    With my boys from 160 to 225.

    Second time around (one year later)...175 to 230.

    And I'm 5'5"

    My youngest is now 4 and I finally weigh less than I did when I got pregnant for the first time.

    My heaviest was pregnant with my 3rd. Got up to 135. (Started at 110)

    The military hospital I worked at made me take an exorbitant amount of parenting/ nutrition/ health/ budget/ finance classes! lol We learned the whole myth behind "eating for 2" :tongue: Plus, I was single and didn't have anyone to run out for fries or ice cream. And was working a 2nd job at night... :grumble:

    At 5ft tall, I was 148 lbs 5 days before delivery. BUT, I had a complicated pregnancy. I spent a lot of time in the hospital and while there, was on a calorie controlled, low sodium diet. I didn't have the ability or choice to eat what I wanted, when I wanted. I hated it at the time, but I was grateful for it afterwards. I was back down to my regular weight of 115 lbs and pre-pregnancy clothes in 2 weeks.

    5'4" 180 before pregnancy. Weighed in at 250 the week I went into labor. Now almost 5 years later I'm back down to 180. Hoping to lose another 30 before we try for another next year.

    First baby 140->165lbs . Lost all the weight in 2 weeks as I lost too much blood during delivery and my body was frantic. Note--couldn't breast feed for a month either..but eventually got there.

    Being stupid I thought Baby #2 would go the same way. Hah!

    145->180+ I stopped looking after 180lbs.
    Hovered at 157lbs at the 6 month mark.
    Got back down to 143lbs around 2 year mark

    Went back up to 169 at 10 year mark (oops!)

    Now at 152 on my way back to 143-145 by the 11 year mark. (ojala!)

    2005 Baby 1 - I was 185lb per pregnant & went up to 227 (gained 3stone)
    2007 Baby 2 - Same
    2012 Joined MFP lost 20lb. Yayyyyy
    Baby 3 (currently 16wks pregnant) - Starting weight 165lb ... currently 175lb

    Don't mind what I gain, presume it might be less than 3stone with the previous pregnancys as I`m exercising & pretty much eating healthier than I ever have :-)
