I am 77.3 kg (170.4 pounds) currently 17 weeks 5 days.

I have found a couple of sites that estimate healthy projected weight gain (based on your height and weight before conception).

I found one site which was quite good as it listed minimum, average and maximum weight gain every two weeks. According to the table I should be between 75.93 and 77.21kg with the the average being 76.57 kg. So whoops a little over.... I think everything should be taken with a grain of salt though. Still however its good to have some kind of a reference.

Net gain: 0lbs

I was up 5lbs last month and now I'm back to prepregnancy weight. Guess I went a little overboard? I mean some of it has to be I'm not constipated anymore (sorry, gross I know) but my doc asked a few times if I was eating. I had two breakfasts this morning so yeah, definitely eating. I guess now I just up the portion sizes?

I"m at 20 weeks and up 5lbs. Dr. is not worried as I'm sure I'll be going up now that baby's job is to gain weight.

Still in a few of my PMS jeans but they are getting slightly uncomfortable. I have a few prego jeans but somehow holding off on wearing them, not sure why but the idea of not wearing a belt for the next 5+ months scares me

Amyj - You are doing great and your almost half way there with a small weight gain. I know it's such a mind game with accepting the number on the scale.

SW: 184.4

11w: 188.4
14w3d: 188.6 (+4.2)
17w1d: 191.5 (+7.1)
18w4d: 193.2 (+8.8)
20w0: 194.4 (+10)

Half way there!! I have managed to sneak in at exactly +10lbs! These past 10 days or so have been much better and I am not as tired anymore and am doing much better at getting more regular exercise.

I will be very pleased with myself if I can get to the end at this same pace of averaging 0.5b per week!

bburg - I generally weigh myself every few days, and "count" the weight once it's stabilized and remained the same for a few days. A day with more salt or less water, or no bowel movement can make a huge difference, and it evens itself out again quickly.

Try not to get too discouraged, (I know, easier said than done) but you may find tomorrow or the next day you drop back down a pound or two.

So I was in the ER on Thursday night with flu-like symptoms...luckily it wasn't the flu, but I did have strep throat. They treated me with shots of penicillin. The next day I was three pounds lighter. I know it's going to come back quickly, but I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts....hehe.

I know what everyone here is going through. The first time I got pregnant I was 120 lbs and a size 0. I gained 60 lbs and have never been able to lose it all. My second pregnancy, I started at 140 lbs, gained 45, but also didn't lose it completely before getting pregnant 4 years later. This is by far the heaviest I have ever been pre-pregnancy. I started at 164 lbs and at 20 weeks, I'm 173 lbs, up 9 lbs.

I feel so unattractive and blegh. Had to go buy some granny panties the other day and it was the worst feeling ever

My husband says if I can get down to 130 lbs and 19% body fat, he will take me on a trip anywhere in the world. I'm very motivated now, but I'm scared I'm going to be unsuccessful just like in the past. I'm getting older now, so it takes much more effort for my body to lose weight.

I read somewhere that Beyoncé was 195 when she went in to deliver her baby. She worked hard and was able to drop the 60 lbs in a matter of months. I wish I had Beyoncé's personal chef, trainer, and nanny so I can accomplish the same feat...

Sonali - you're doing great!

Prepregnancy - 157
Continued to lose until week 14: Down to 151
Week 16: 156.8
Week 17: 157.0
Week 18: 160.2 (+ 3.2)
Week 19: 159.8 (-0.4 from last week)

Total gain at 19 weeks: 2.8 lbs.

I am pretty happy with this. I am trying so hard to not gain more than 25 lbs! My step sister gained about 90lbs so as bad as it sounds, i'm trying to do better. It took her nearly 3.5 years to lose that 90 lbs!

That's a pretty cool way to look at it!

I'm def expecting a gain on Monday. I didn't get to the gym at all this week to walk.

SW: 184.4

11w: 188.4
14w3d: 188.6 (+4.2)
17w1d: 191.5 (+7.1)
18w4d: 193.2 (+8.8)
20w0: 194.4 (+10)
22w1d: 198.4 (+14)

small jump, added 2lbs per week for the last two weeks. Doctor said this is normal for this stage of pregnancy, as baby practically doubled in size at about the 20-21 week mark. Let's hope it's not a trend and I can resume with the 0.5-1lb per week onwards and to the end!

You're all doing great ladies, I think most of us are reaching (or just past) the half way marker!

I'm at 19weeks and have a total gain of 5lbs. I'm pretty pleased with that considering I actually lost 5lbs back in December after the gestational diabetes scare talk... I'm still not having sugar and ice cream is something I'll only day dream about but I'm now letting myself give in a little more to my cravings. I'm still doing a lot of salad but I'm not feeling quite as guilty if I want to eat a juicy hamburger too.

Heh we'll see what my doctor says next week about my weight gain. I'm beginning to think I'll get a lecture no matter what my weight is...

SW: 185lbs
CW: 190lbs

Weighed in today.I am 19+4 days today and weigh 8 pounds up from my prepregnancy weight.Gained almost 5.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks itself. Weight gain seems to be on an icreasing trend once i crossed the 18th week mark.Dont know how I would be able to manage within 20 pounds up in total till the end.I also ate twice out in the last 2 weeks which means it might be due to sodium as well.

HI,i am happy to see a group for pregnant women.My Due is on july 29th .

Pre-pregnancy weight: 137.7 pounds

8 weeks : 133 pounds

15 weeks : 137.7 pounds (pretty gud so far)
