    Had my parents in town this week so my snacking was under control. Too bad they leave today and are leaving TONS of cookies behind, I hope my self control keeps up!

    You are doing great! I need to get my exercising back in gear! I feel like my weight gain is picking up too much pace!

    Thanks! I've been doing a lot of walking this week with my parents and in general I'm more active this pregnancy. I don't "exercise" but I'm home all day with a toddler so it's already more moving than my first pregnancy when I had a desk job. I need to start my squats and elliptical back up though, my bum is getting too flabby!

    Starting weight 115 @ 5'4. Currently 19 weeks as of yesterday and jumped from 121.8 to 123 over night. Wasn't going to count it since I thought it was water weight. But despite healthy eating, exercising, and drinking loads of water I remain at 123.2 this morning bringing my weight gain to 8.2 pounds today :( I wouldn't care about the gain except I want it to be way more gradual. Apparently even eating healthy and working out doesn't keep a Prego body from doing what it wants LOL

    Since 20 weeks, it's been harder for me to regulate my weight and no, it doesn't seem gradual at all!!

    Starting weight 115 @ 5'4. Currently 21 weeks and weigh 125 so a gain of 10 pounds now. I'm still getting in at least 45-60 mins of exercise 5-6 days a week and logging my food as honestly as possible LOL. I still weigh less now than I did when I conceived my first son so I'm happy ????

    Ugh, dreading the challenge of being pregnant during the holidays. Too much eating and too cold for walks will not be good for me.

    Starting weight 115 @ 5'4 and the last time I posted I was just at 21 weeks and weighed 125....well that jumped up to 126.4 and I still have 4 days until I hit 22 weeks! Which means I will probably gain at least 2 pounds this week if not more! This is depressing considering I just started following a more "primal" diet and cut out all processed food and white bread/rice. I feel like I drink water like a camel and I'm always thirsty. This is depressing now :|

    I understand. It's hard to accept, but our bodies are going to gain at their own rates now. Keep up the good work with the primal diet and lots of water!

    Here's my depressing update:

    HEIGHT: 5'4"
    SW: 139
    11 Weeks: 137 -2.0
    13 Weeks: 137.6 -1.4
    15 Weeks: 137 -2.0

    24 Weeks: 146.8 +7.8
    25 Weeks: 148.7 +9.7
    26 Weeks: ???
    27 Weeks: 151.2 +12.2

    I've been traveling for work for the past week and a half, so I didn't really expect a good number. Hoping to work out a better eating plan and get myself on track!

    25 weeks: +5.8 lbs
    26 weeks: +7.8 lbs (currently 148.6 pounds)

    Another 2 pound gain this week, luckily my entire body grew so I can see the difference. Not feeling too great about it though, and on top of that I had a doctor's appointment this morning and I have gained 7.5 pounds in a month, plus I'm slightly anemic. I knew when I finally gained weight it would be rapid, but I wasn't quite prepared for 2 pounds a week! At this rate I'll be heavier than I was with my first and I started lighter with this one. Time to really get serious and start logging/exercising again.

    Just checking in! I started at 202, and I am 5'4"... Already in the "obese" category, so 11-20 pounds for me. Today at 29w4d I weighed in at 210.9.

    Total, I am up just about 9 pounds. My midwife says from here on out a one pound gain per week would be great.

    I haven't been logging food or exercise since the start, but I really haven't felt that hungry. Maybe it's the fuller abdomen? I dunno!

    Well, I just posted in the larger group, but maybe I'd prefer the smaller one..

    Height: 5'5"
    Starting weight: 112lbs
    Current weight: 148lbs (I'll be 34 weeks on Wednesday)
    Total gain so far: 36lbs

    I actually had a really weird jump this week where I put on 7lbs, which surprised me. It's not water weight, and it's not me-weight. Baby definitely had a huge growth spurt - my belly is significantly larger and tighter than it was a few days ago.

    (I won't be surprised if this baby is 10lbs, though. He's feels heavier to carry than my girls did, like he's going to be more solid.)

    Luckily no gain for me this week. I haven't had that happen in a VERY long time. Hoping maybe I'll slow down for a bit. I definitely don't want to get out of control here!

    Only 1.5 pound gain this week, still too much but at least it's not another 2 pound gain! I started tracking my calories again last Thursday and the first day I was 1,000 calories over my goal! I've only had 1 day where I was within 50 calories of my goal (which is to gain 1/2 pound a week) so I have some adjusting to do, I've definitely been "eating for two" while I wasn't tracking.

    Hello ladies!

    Starting: 130 lbs, 5' 2
    25 weeks (almost): +14 lbs
    30 weeks: +22

    Things have been crazy here with an unexpected death in the family and my father-in-law more or less moving in for an undefined period of time (these past 2 weeks have been...interesting...to say the least)

    Anywho, I'm still hoping to shoot for 25-30 lb gain total but with 10 weeks left we'll see how that goes. I found my weight spiked last week but has gone back down and stabilized now so hopefully I can hang around 150-155 for a while longer. I am finding that I get fuller faster and I'm making a better effort to eat more fruit and veggies and less junk food.

    For those with lower gains so far, I'm curious what your goals are and why? Sometimes everything in pregnancy feels so arbitrary (ie. the 25-35 lb recommended gain for people from 4 ft to 6 ft pretty much) I wonder if your dr. is saying something else or if it's personal preference. No judgement either way (it's your body and your baby!) I'm just nosy ;)

    Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well!
    Mid-way through week 27 and I'm officially up 20 pounds.

    mrs_n0rris - I was sort of wondering the same thing (because I'm nosy also, lol!!). I was really worried about the weight gain, but my Dr is happy with how things are going so far, so I'm less concerned than I was. I think it is kind of funny though that I am on the low end of the height spectrum (4'11), but based on the responses we have in our group, closer to the higher-end of the weight gain. :ohwell:
