how much weight have you gained

Starting out I was only 2.4 lbs off from having a "normal" BMI so I thought it best to aim for the regular 25-35 pounds rather than for the 15-25 pounds recommended for being overweight and pregnant. I wasn't super sick in the beginning, thankfully, so there was a fair bit of weight gain in the beginning.
Height: 5'7"
Starting Weight: 162.3
8W: 166.1
11W: 167.1
14W: 169.2
17W: 175.2 (yikes!)
18W: 176.0
Total gain: 13.7 lbs
We're SUPER similar! I am 5'7" and started at 165 (healthy BF%, which i think is a better guage than stupid BMI anyways
) I'm 17weeks and 175-176 0 -

This makes me more excited than I probably should be. :happy: Most people I know seem to have had a difficult time gaining (which happens, I can totally understand that). It just makes me feel like a whale sometimes to be gaining as rapidly as I am. I agree, BF% is a much better way to gauge our fitness levels.0 -
Saw this article today and decided to post. :flowerforyou:

I pretty much feel the same way except I am keeping track of what I eat most days...and not so much calorie wise, but more so making sure I eat enough fruits, vegetables and protein and that I get my walks in. I'm 22 weeks and so far I've gained about 15 lbs. At first I was terrified of seeing the scale go up and realized that this is normal. Since I started this journey overweight, my goal is to not to gain more than 25 lbs. My OB has said I'm doing well so far.
At the very beginning of my pregnancy I felt the need to still diet...gaining weight was a daunting idea especially after the progress I had made. But then after much thinking...I decided I wanted to enjoy my pregnancy and besides...I realized I am creating another human!! So as long as I eat right and keep active I'm sure after the baby is born I'll slowly get back into my running and weight lifting routine and the weight loss will follow. :drinker:0 -

Disappointed I'm gaining so much so quickly, but I enjoyed the holidays, hopefully I'll get my eating better under control now without as many temptations. Hoping to gain 25 lbs or less, but that hope seems to be lessening since I'm halfway and already up 11 lbs. I know bigger weight gains are yet to come! (At least after 20 weeks is when I put on more weight with the last 2 pregnancies.)0 -
I'm 19 weeks and down 14 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. Doctor said he's not "too concerned" with my weight at this point. I'm definitely not trying to diet by any means but I am still working out multiple times a week.0

Doctor is really happy with my weight gain as am I so I took this week off logging. Still trying to watch what I eat and if I feel like I am out of control (ie: gain more than a pound a week without significant belly increase) I'll go back to logging. I just don't want to add more stress to these last few weeks since we have nothing ready yet.0 -
I still gained 60 pounds with my pregnancy. It just kept piling on no matter what I did. So I just let it happen. I have since lost ten. I must now graduate b/c I had my baby in December, but I wanted to give some final input on the forums. Don't worry too much about your weight gain, as long as you're not just sitting around eating all day. The average weight gain is about 20-30 pounds depending on your start weight... So if that's all you've gained, you're really in good shape because that's not a lot. Most important is just that you stay active and eat right. If you do that, you really shouldn't focus so much on weight gain.0

I really need to start logging my food again. I know that this is really my first post with a gain (I was under my pre-pregnancy weight until I weighed in today. I just think 3.6lbs is a bit too much and I know it is from drinking regular soda and the baptism that I splurged at on Sun. Oh and prob the snacks that I ate during the football game Sat. night. Ooops, that's a lot of treating myself. Back on track - I really need to start walking again too. Chalking it up to a bad week and will make better choices going forward. How is everyone feeling?0 -

I've been good with meeting my calorie and nutrition goals, so I am not too worried about the way I'm gaining right now. I think the water weight is starting to accumulate, if the sausage fingers are any indication.0 -
I just joined and just found out I was pregnant after the holidays... I am 5 weeks pregnant and I gained weight over the holidays. I am hoping to stem the weight gain and keep the weight gain healthy throughout.

I'm week 28 and gained 25 pounds0 -
28 weeks, 17 pounds. All gained in the second trimester. I'm only eating 200 calories a day above maintenance (as recommended), healthy BMI to start, so hoping it slows down. My goal is 25 pounds. Not sure I like my chances!0

I am 3 days away from my due date with Baby #3 and my weight gain is as follows. Pre-pregnancy weight 125 lbs at 5''2'. First trimester about a 2 lb gain. Second trimester 17 lb gain. And third trimester about 6 lbs gained. As of yesterday morning i weighed 150.4 lbs so I am looking at a 25-26lb gain this pregnancy. I ate well and logged my food most of this pregnancy. I also have a set of DVDs called ''Body by Trimester'' by Joy Southworth which includes two challenging30 min prenatal circuit training workouts plus one 15 min express workout. I did these workouts 3-5 days a week (including this week). Cant wait to have this baby already! Will let you know if my labor is any shorter this time since with my other 2 i had long labors and i started off overweight, did not exercise or eat well with those pregnancies. Good Luck everyone!0

-6.6lbs right now
I've been sick with a cold off and on for the past month or so. (I have a toddler and a 9 month old.. we keep passing it back and forth) It has caused me to gain then lose weight repeatedly. I seem to fluctuate around 193. I have definitely gotten a lot bigger, and baby is definitely growing! My doctor checked her growth last time and she was actually measuring ahead, so that makes me feel somewhat better about losing. Getting near the end so I am a little nervous about my weight shooting up. I keep trying to remind myself how quickly most (if not all) of it comes out afterward. It's just so hard to be that close to 200 for me. Not to mention 191 was my 2nd prepregnancy weight and 187 my original prepregnancy weight before baby #1. It's exciting to be close to those goals, but I have to remind myself that right now, they aren't goals, a healthy baby is the goal.0 -

You are my hero currently! I'm 5'2"/5'3" started 135 and on my 3rd baby. I would LOVE a 25 lb weight gain! I feel like I'm a little off track, but you did so awesome your third tri (weight gain wise) you give me hope! I was overweight starting both of my other two pregnancies too, much better this time around. Best of luck on your next labor!0 -

Thanx! I found that setting my calories at maintenance and logging my food intake consistently together with regular exercise helped keep my weight in check. I did gain most of my weight during my 2nd trimester, i guess thats just the way my body works. Wishing u lots of luck and a happy and healthy pregnancy.0 -

First gain and it's a lot. Not too happy about it. Was hoping to keep to 1lb per week. I was sick this past week and wasn't able to exercise. Hopefully getting back to the gym will help tame this for next week.0 -
I'm 21 weeks and am down 16 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. Started at 185 and am now 169. Baby is growing though! At my ultrasound at 17 weeks he was 6 ounces and the anatomy scan last week at 20 weeks he was 13 ounces so definitely gaining the way he should be.0
