5'2"

Starting weight 125

Weight at 12 week appointment 126

Weight today at 13 weeks 125

0 weight gain in my first trimester - changed my MFP settings to gain 1/2 lb a week ago and actually lost a pound

Starting height weight (by my home scales that I've always weighed on) 5'5", 133pds.


Week 8- (my scale, 135) (doctors scale, 140) HATE the doctors scale!
Week 12- (my scale, 138) (doctors scale, after eating lunch, 144)
Week 16- (my scale, 140) (doctors scale, after breakfast, 147)


I always weigh myself at home first thing in the morning, nude, and after I've used the bathrom so I know the doctors scale with clothes and after eating will be more (at least I hope). Anyone else do this? lol All in all, I guess you can say I've gained 5-7 pounds at 16 weeks. Which is MORE than what I wanted but the way I look at it if I gain 1lb a week for the next 24 weeks it will still be in the 25-35 range. Crazy to see the scale change considering I've ate less AND healthier than I ever have due to lack of appetitie and I've continued working out. Anyone else seeing THIS prob as well? I'm hoping to stay 160 or below throughout my whole pregnancy. I started 10lbs more (but a lot healthier) than I was 5 years ago with my first pregnancy and I only gained around 20 with my daugher but lost very quickly. I hope to do the same this time!

I never go by the scale in my midwife's office. I just tell her the # I saw on my scale that morning. I also saw a lot of weight gain despite eating healthy and working out 4-5 days a week. At 28 weeks i am up about 19 lbs. I hope to only gain 25 lbs, but i am not sure if its possible at this point. I know that as long as i am doing everything right the weight will come off easily afterwards.

allison0820, I also started lifting heavier in August..right before I found out I was preggo and have continued to do that since my doctor said it was fine for me to do so I've kinda wondered if that's some of my extra gain. I don't feel or look like I've gained weight and actually I'm not even showing yet except for my recently HUGE boobs!! I'm still in all my same clothes so I've been really surprised to see that I've gained this much already. Although Im eating healthier, I LOVE salt now so I need to be careful with that...my appetite has change so much, I went from being a sweet/fruit eater to now more meats, veggies, cheeses, salty things, etc.

I am 25 weeks and as of my last appt on Oct 18 I have gained 5 lbs. But according to my scale at home I have put on another 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks.

Start 185.5

Weight at week 16. 3 days - 178.5 ( -7)
Week 19- 180.0 (-5.5)

I always lose at first just started walking again every other day. Hoping that I can avoid pre-e for the 3rd time......my goal is to stay under 200 and I would really like to stay below 195 or 190 if I am really lucky. Things go down hill when I hit 190 for some reason so I am just going to keep walking every other day. Ultrasound this next week!

Baby Rosanna born 40+6 and was 8lb 4oz

1 wk pp: 86kg (189.6lbs) Woohoo!

Congrats on Baby Rosanna! It is amazing how you managed to only gain 9 lbs the whole pregnancy and even more amazing that you are 9 lbs lower then your pre-pregnancy weight at one week postpartum. Very Inspirational! Keep up the great work and enjoy your adorable baby.

Thank you. I aimed to eat at maintenance the whole way through, but I did go over when hungry. Maintenance was 2140 but somedays (more frequently towards the end) I consumed 3500+. I also carried on walking upto my delivery date, at least 40 minutes a day for 5 days a week.
