According to this chart I'm already over weight.... I'm 5 foot and about 120. I have really large breasts, and am actually very fit and thin, I am not going by this chart AT ALL.

Hi Everyone, I am a mother of a three year old boy and I gained 70 pounds over the pregnancy and I have lost 50 pounds so far. Right now I am STUCK! So I created a blog that shares with everyone my daily diet, exercises, challenges, and feelings. I did this to make myself accountable as well as others. I invite everyone to my blog so you can share your experience. Please comment and ask questions. Lets do this together! This is not spam. Please do not erase this. This is a sincere thread. You can view and comment on my blog at: http://myfitnessjourney2011.blogspot.com/ I will be posting daily! Take care,

So this is my first pregnancy and I am 32 weeks and 5 days, I have technically lost 8 pound throughout this pregnancy and haven't gained any, has anyone else had this happen?

i wouldnt worry about gaining too much/too little. the only time i would worry is if you gain A LOT of weight really quickly which can indicate another problem, or if you lose or dont gain weight and you are already underweight to begin with. I was overweight according to the bmi chart technically obese when I got pregnant, I am now 38 weeks and am actually 9 lbs lighter than when I got preggo! Even though this indicates I've lost a lot of weight (since part of the weight I am carrying now is a 6-8 lb baby and placenta and all that) my dr. is not concerned. Your baby will take everything it needs from you. I worry more about me not getting nutrition than her, she's totally fine and growing perfectly!

At 5'9 and weighing 175 when I was PG with my first baby, I gained 65 lbs. Three weeks after I had my baby, I was 185. I didn't breastfeed so the weight came off pretty quick because I was put on a liquid diet due to the meds they gave me for recovery. I had a c-section. Now, PG with baby#2, I'm still 185 lbs and I'm hoping my exercising each day, I will only put on half the weight with this baby. =)

according to this I need to have put on another 8 pounds by now, but I think I'm losing weight elsewhere as my legs and face is thinner, so trying not to worry! K.

Oh dear, according to this, I have gained 5lbs too many. I guess that's not necessarily that huge of an off. I just want everything to be perfect.

Hi everyone... I am new to this forum. Just gave birth 8 days ago... my first. I am soooo in love. I came to this forum because I am really wanting to lose my pregnancy weight. I want to lose it fast & am looking for a community where we can do it together. I have actually started my own blog and soon to come forum (and am trying to eventually make it my at home job so I can be a stay at home mommy). I don't think I am allowed to post it here, but please send me a message if you are interested in joining me there. In the mean time, I would love to get the conversation started here... I want to talk about what the biggest frustrations & challenges are in losing pregnancy weight. My frustration is that my whole life I have been a yo-yo dieter... the only way I really got down to my goal weight was by doing juice fasts (I know it is terrible)... I can't do that now because I am breast feeding. I have to find a healthy way to lose weight... ack! I guess you could say that is also my challenge on top of the fact that I am going to have to watch my gym membership go to waste! I used to love going to the classes & that is a complete impossibility right now, at least until my little honey baby is a few months old. Anyone else?

MommyToZoey - 593 days ago.
Oh boy, I'm completely off from this. I only weighed 107 pounds before pregnancy and now at 33 weeks I still only weigh 124 pounds! This says I should weigh 11 more pounds than that by now. But I'm not worrying, my doctor has yet to complain about my weight and said he only expected me to gain around 20 pounds for being such a tiny person. According to him I'm doing good, so that's all I'm worried about. (:

armycavwife - 595 days ago.
Well it says I'm obese I def don't look it to me or any one an don't feel it but anyways I'm suppose to only gain 15 lbs which I thought would be hard cuz with my daughter I gained wait fast I gained 35 with her but this time I'm 18wk4d and I've lost 9lbs since before I was prego haven't gained anything yet so maybe a boy?!

yay looks like I'm right on track for weight gain.. I was worried I had gained too much! I'm sure I will still have to work some off but I don't feel so bad now :)

To young stay at home mom, I'm not in the exact situation you are in but I feel your pain and guilt. I put on over 50 lbs. w/ my first pregnancy and got pregnant w/ #2 5 months later. I had not lost all the weight and just figured I'd make sure this baby was healthy then worry about my body after the baby was born. At the beginning of the year I started working on mom. I was very proud of myself, loosing the weight and getting in shape. Apparently I was doing a little too good, because b4 I reached my goal and lost all the baby weight, surprise! baby # 3 is on the way. And one of the first worries (after how in the world am I going to do this) was about the weight gain. I am going into this pregnancy w/ a similar attitude as the last one. Priority #1 is this baby. I'm still working out a couple times a week to try and keep off the weight but whatever happens happens. I can only do so much. Don't be too hard on yourself, and take care of yourself and new baby. You have the rest of you life to loose the weight. btw - I'm a sahm too and I understand how hard it can be to get a little time to work on yourself. You'll get through it.

I tend to not gain enough weight during my pregnancies. With my first 2, I gained 15-20 lbs on average. With this pregnancy, I am 30 weeks and have gained about 8 lbs. My previous babies birth weights were about 6 1/2 lbs so not too small. I eat tons all day, I don't really exercise much... I just work full time and have to children to run after (ages 5 and 7) so I'm not usually just sitting around. This doctor, just like my others, is starting to get very concerned with how my belly is measuring and how much weight I've gained. I'm severly anemic, but have been trying sooo hard to get that under control with iron enriched foods and pills. Has anyone else ever had to deal with this?!?!

mommotwokiddos - 685 days ago.
I was 180 pounds when I had my first child 10 years ago. I am now 314. This is not ideal, but overall, I'm in good health. No diabetes, no heart issues, no high cholesterol. I am told to try not gain anything, although I'm not sure how that's possible. I eat right (at least 4 servings of fruits and veggies a day, lean meat, fish, etc). I'm nervous though because this is the heaviest I have ever been and it's hard enough carrying myself around. I think as long as I stay positive and keep track of my food and weight I should be alright.

military~mommy - 691 days ago.
RockyMountain~ Lol I am 4'11' and also put on 45lbs with my first. Inever lost all the weight and until 26 weeks gained no weight this time.

shanonholtz - 693 days ago.
ive gained 21 lbs and im 32 weeks thats not too bad right???this is my fourth baby...

RESamantha - 695 days ago.
I gained 49 with my 1st pregnancy and 38 with my 2nd. NOw Im on my 3rd and Im 18 weeks along and gained 4 lbs. I am really trying this time to only gain 30lbs. HOwever I did weight watchers after both babies and went to the gym. I also started training for half marathons which really helped witht the weight loss. It gives you a goal and running is so fun.

Cherryb0m - 695 days ago.
oh yes... i am also a vegetarian now so that cuts out a whole bunch of junk i was eating last time, no cheeseburgers for me - if i want one it's a veggie burger :-)

Cherryb0m - 695 days ago.
i started out about 5lbs less with this pregnancy than my first. i gained about 35lbs, but if you count the weight that i lost due to morning sickness then gained back it would be 40lbs. i ate lots of fruits and veggies but i also ate lots of cheeseburgers and fries LOL. i didnt exercise at all much either, especially in my 3rd trimester. this time around i am keeping a food journal, making sure i'm not over doing it on calories, exercising about 4 days a week on a tredmill and one day of prenatal yoga, and eating much much better. lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains. i let myself give into my cravingings once a week - the hubby, DD, and I will go out to dinner or something and i order whatever i want w/out feeling guilty. i was able to loose the baby weight in about 4 months. a lot of my weight was fluid, but about 15lbs was pure fat that i had to get rid of.

MKristen1984 - 711 days ago.
I am 19 weeks with my second child (last pregnancy was 8 years ago) and have gained 10 pounds. I am 5'6" and prepreg weight was 133. I started out 15 pounds less with this pregnancy than I did with the first, so I'm doing much better in comparison. I didn't start gaining until 10 weeks and have been gaining approx. 1 pound per week since then. I jumped 2 pounds yesterday which is not encouraging!! I gained 60 pounds with my first pregnancy and was overweight (even while breastfeeding) for about a year. Eventually, I did lose all of the weight but it was very difficult. My goal is not to put myself through that again by being smarter and healthier this time around. My goal is 30-35 pounds... If anyone is struggling with weight gain, try keeping a food diary for a few days- it will hold you accountable for what you eat and will help you see how many calories you are consuming. There is an awesome calculator at the following website that will let you know approximately how many calories you need to have each day based on your height, prepreg weight, age, due date, ect: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/pregnancy_calorie_calculator.htm Take it from someone who knows- do not let pregnancy be an excuse for creating tough habits to break later!! Good luck to everyone.

I gained 50lbs. The last 6lbs were very difficult to go. But, with sensible eating and (maybe breastfeeding?), I am 2lbs lighter preprego weight(my weight 7 years ago). I thought I can't do it too.

aliwhalen - 728 days ago.
I gained 45lbs with my first pregnancy - and 18 months later have lost 39 of them! Now I'm pregnant again, and am feeling good so far, if only the weather would get a wee bit warmer I could be out exercising at the lake! I'm not feeling ravenously hungry yet, so I'm hoping to control my caloric intake and exercise and stay fit before the nausea and appetite kicks in!

sallyfd - 728 days ago.
I have a question for anyone who has already had a baby. How much was your total weight gain? I'm on pregnancy #2 and starting out 10lbs heavier than last time and a little worried I'll never get back to my old body!

Lissie - 731 days ago.
now 7-8 pounds to go :)
