I'm just curious how much weight you ladies have gained during pregnancy and how long it took to lose.
1st pregnancy- I gained 35 pounds...it took almost 2 years to lose
2nd pregnancy- I gained 40 pounds and lost it in a year
3rd pregnancy- I'm currently 18 weeks and have gained 18 pounds....scary I know!

    This is my first child and I gained about 50 lbs during pregnancy. I was 135 when I found out I was pregnant and I was 187 the day I delivered. I am currently 13 weeks post partum and have lost about 30 lbs so far. I am 154 now.

    I only have 1 child who is 16 months now (he was born at the end of September 2010)and I gained 36 lbs and worked out every day while I was pregnant up until the day I went into the hospital. I was 171 when I gave birth

    1 week post partum I lost 22 lbs (alot of it was water weight)
    I was back to my pre pregnancy weight of 134 by the beginning of February 2011 and lost another 6 pounds after that.

    I had my first and only child 2 years ago. I was 135 pre-pregnancy and 180 in the delivery room. So I gained 45lbs. After I cave birth to her I dropped to about 170 in less than a month. However I am here today because I have been gaining weight so fast now. I was 201 when I joined here to try and lose weight. Before I got pregnant I couldn't gain weight for anything then I just started packing on the lbs

    My daughter, who is my only child, just turned one on January 7. I gained 28 pounds during the pregnancy (was 112 when I started). By May/June 2011, I was several pounds under pre-preg weight. I will admit though, that my body changed a little (although I don't think anyone noticed but me) and really I needed to lose those extra few pounds in order to feel comfortable in all my pre-pregnancy clothes. I'm only 5' 2" so every little bit shows on me.
