I'm almost the same weight as you. When I first got a positive pregnancy test, I was 164.0. Today I'm 166.4. So that's up 2.4 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm kinda freaking out since I only want to gain 9 more lbs...I still have 33 weeks to go, so not sure how that's possible :ohwell:

I know me too! My husband bets I'll pass the 200-mark this time around. I'm determined to prove him wrong. I went in with my first child at 182, my second at 185. I was hoping for 175 or less this time. I've seen some posts from pregnant women in the forums...some of them only gained 5-10 lbs their entire pregnancy.

I want a healthy baby, so I'm not going to try to lose weight, but hopefully I can get the speed at which I gain weight under control.

Another reason I may be gaining quicker is that I've put off working out until after my first ultrasound. Once the pregnancy is confirmed by my doctor and she gives me the OK to work out, I'll slowly start exercising again.

I have maintained at 184.4 since finding out we are expecting (and will be 8 weeks tomorrow). Some days the scale is as high as 188 but is usually back down to 184.4 again the next day. I feel like I should have been gaining, as I have not been doing any exercise (too exhausted!) and have been inching over my maintenance calories almost daily.

I am hoping to get on the treadmill for a light walk tonight and if all goes well, I will continue to get some low-impact walking completed on a daily basis.

If I can make it through this pregnancy and not see 200 on the scale, I would be so excited, but the reality is baby's needs come first and my goal is to stay under a 25 pound weight gain.

I am certainly looking forward to the second trimester and hope I have loads more energy to be much more active!

I started at 155. I stepped on the scale today and I'm 158 at 8w1d. I too feel like it's much more and I had to use a hair band to button up my jeans. Even after doing that my jeans still felt tight by the end of the day!

I wouldn't worry too much. There's no way you gained 3 pounds in half a day! It's from all the clothing and if you ate before going.

You're doing great Lulu!

I started off at 164.0 at 4 weeks. I'm 7 weeks now and down to 163.2. My weight was as high as 166.4 just this past Monday, so I think our weight is going to fluctuate a lot. A more realistic goal for me would be 180 at 40 weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to lose it much quicker this time around.

Is anyone else just hating their body right now? I have gained about 5lbs already and I am constantly bloated. I feel like I look 6 months pregnant and I am only 10 weeks. I'm tired all the time and the only foods I can seem to get down are carbs. Veggies are just grossing me out lately. I don't know how to make this better.

Same here. At 9w3d today and no weight gain, but I've had to pull out an older pair of jeans that are one size up and have been living in yoga pants when I'm not at work.

The other day I was complaining about feeling fat and my boyfriend said, "If you don't like how you feel, do something about it!" And I cried. Do what? Diet and exercise? I feel tired and sick every day! And I doubt that would even help this crazy bloating that has been with me for months now.
