    I put what I weighed a week or 2 after birth since I weighed more then I weighed right after birth due to the water weight from my c-section.

    Gosh I hope not. I was 200lbs with my kids two of 3 were 9lbs and the third 8lbs. My highest weight not pregnant was after my third at 159lbs 6 months after she was born. My pre-prego weight was 132 thats where I want to be. I'd def use the 159 as my starting point, 200 just makes me feel bad lol.

    Well if you were me, it wouldn't matter. I actually weight more now than I did when I was 9 months pregnant! I was my goal weight before I got pregnant and only gained about 30 pounds. But what I did was put my starting weight as the number I weighed when started MFP. Don't put pregnancy weight. Those aren't pounds that you gained from eating unhealthy, not exercising, etc., but pounds you gained from a baby. You automatically know you're going to lose some of it. If anything, wait until after your recovery (avg. six weeks) that way everything is back to normal inside your body. That would be the weight I'd start with. Personally, it wouldn't feel like more of an accomplishment to me anyway. The accomplishment would be the weight you lose from working it off - not from having a baby.

    I did the same, starting weight the day I started logging here again. I'd be 70 pounds down if I started with my highest pregnancy weight!!

    I used my weight from when I signed up, though when people ask how much I lost overall, I subtract from my highest post partum weight, since I lost 20 before MFP

    I wish I could put my highest pregnany weight, since then it would look like a 60+ lb loss and I could do my success story! :) But since with both babies, I lost the 40+ lbs of pregancy weight within 4 months (just through giving birth and breastfeeding), I don't really feel like I could justify it.

    I also put the weight I was when I started. My highest pregnancy weight is about 20 pounds higher than my highest post-pregnancy weight (figure 3-4 weeks to really get rid of all the extra fluid and stuff and really be able to nail down fat pounds) which is about 6 pounds higher than the weight when I finally started MFP after my daughter was born. I wouldn't add in anything over and above what I weighed when I started....I guess I could kind of see if someone was to add in a little weight they had before they started here, but not what you weighed while pregnant.

    I used the weight I was when I started, which was not my highest ever (pregnant or non-pregnant) weight.
