Three weeks left (hopefully). I had secretly hoped to end at 165 out of vanity but that's out the window now. I'm going back and forth between caring about my weight and trying to log and be responsible, and just saying F it and enjoying the last 3 weeks. I just really don't want to be above 170 since that was when I started looking/feeling fat with my first pregnancy. That would be 30 pounds so it's not a bad number to end at.

Soooooo....apparentyl I gained 2.4 pounds since last week I'm 33 weeks today and I weigh 137.8. Starting weight 115 @ 5'4. How in the hell did I gain that much in one week? I haven't been doing anything differently and I though it started slowing down in third trimester. If I keep gaining 2 pounds a week I will gain like 50 pounds!

2 lbs in one week when your hormones are in full swing growing a human... seems totally normal! I know with my first I had a 7lb gain one week, to the concern of my providers, and then went in the next week and weighed exactly the same. I didn't restrict food intake and was probably eating way over what I was supposed to be. It was just my body doing its thing. We can only control so much.

I'm 20 weeks today and my weight is fluctuating so much that I'm not sure how much I've gained exactly but it's about 8-10lbs.

So for the final results. I logged my food and exercise most of my pregnancy and i did a circuit training workout 3-5 days a week. I started off at 125 lbs at 5 ft 2 in. pre-pregnancy. I gained 2 lbs the first trimester. 17 lbs the second trimester and 6 lbs the third trimester for a total of 25 lbs. Last weigh in before delivery i was about 150 lbs. Baby Daniel born on Jan 20, 2014 weighed 8 lb 2 oz. At my weigh in one week postpartum i weighed 139.2 so i am down 10.8 lbs. I am trying to stay within my calorie goals and exercise as much as i am allowed, mainly walking. I cant wait to get clearance to exercise so i can get toned and fit again. I have about 2 inches to lose off my waist and about an inch off my hips to lose as well. I know its just a matter of time. I will get there. Good Luck to you all!

This is amazing! Congrats! 2 inches off your waist is nothing! I know I've already gained more than an inch in my hips and I'm only 24 weeks, I shudder to think how many inches I will have to lose when all is said and done (I had about 7 inches to lose after my daughter from my hips alone!). Best of Luck getting back down to weight, I know it'll happen!

Even if you gained 2 lbs every week (which i'm sure you won't) you'd put on 14lbs. You've gained roughly 23 already, so that would put your total weight gain for the whole pregnancy at 37lbs. So, even if that worst case scenario happened, you've only gained 2-7lbs more than the recommended weight gain. Baby is growing so much, I really wouldn't worry about it.

Hi, i will be 15 weeks tomorrow (sunday) and so far I haven't gained any weight. I have remained 119 since before i got pregnant. I am 5'7" Wondering when I will gain and start to show?!

Goal: Just stay under 200!

No gain this week, no rhyme or reason according to my food log

Starting Weight: 186lb (5' 9 1/2")
Week 16: 200
That's 16lbs in 16 weeks ladies. Boo!!

ETA: Oops, I guess I'm really bad at math, 186-200=14lbs. Still 14lbs in 16 weeks...boo.

Last week (week 19): 159.8
This week (week 20): 163.6

total weight gain is now 6.6 lbs at the halway point.

I know a lot of it was super bowl snacking and I hope that at least SOME of this is gone by next weeks weigh in.

wow, did you lose a lot int he first trimester?

Love4fitness- I'm not sure it was "a lot" but I lost almost 8 lbs with morning sickness. I wasn't even throwing up. I was just so nauseous and had so many food aversions, I could barely eat.

I'd say 8 pounds is a lot. Lol. I wouldn't be able to lose that much if I was trying.

I lost around 8lb in my first trimester. 4lbs were intentional, before I knew I was pregnant. The other 4lbs were lost over the next couple of months while I was figuring out my nutrition needs as a pregnant woman, also breastfeeding, also running and doing other workouts. I actually ate a lot of food, the aversions weren't too bad and I tend to be less nauseated when I have a full stomach, so I had plenty of snacks.

Never would have happened in my other pregnancies, though! I gained like crazy from day 1.

I've just been hoping to maintain through the first trimester--I don't weigh myself at home though. I don't want to get scale obsessed while pregnant as I don't think it's mentally healthy. I also don't want the scale to dictate how much I eat if/when I'm hungry. So, I just get my weight every 4 weeks and kind of just accordingly (although I haven't had to make any adjustments).

Well, the nice thing about this particular thread is that, if you ARE scale obsessed, you can come here and freak out a bit... other women who totally understand the fear of gaining too much weight will a) tell you it's okay to feel how you feel and b) more importantly, reassure you that you're supposed to gain weight, you're pregnant

It's nice to have that support system. I was once as scale obsessed as the next--now my focus is just on having a healthy baby and being the healthiest mommy that I can be.

Had an appointment today and doctor is extremely happy with my exercise, he was a little concerned about my lack of weight gain but as soon as I told him what I'm doing for exercise he didn't say anything else except how proud of me he is for my exercise. I've got the 1 hour glucose test on Wednesday, let's see if my lifestyle change over the last year helps me where it really matters.

What kind of exercise are you doing?

I was supposed to gain a few pounds this week from my indulging at the SuperBowl party, but that didn't happen. Oh well. Maybe next week will be better. I asked my MW about doing the 3 hour glucose test instead of the one hour and she was fine with that. I'll do that on 2/17. I've been testing here and there with my meter the last couple of days, but the strips I have expired so I can't really go by them.
