re: weight gain during pregnancy

jejeje for sure eating is a lot of fun!!!

Quoting catrachita2008:“ hello ladies out there...well i am worry because i am only 29 weeks and the doc already told me i reached ... [snip!] ... to weight 150 b4 i got pregnant and now i weight 182 so i have gained 32 pounds...please help or give me some advice. thanks!!”

I gained about 70 lbs during my pregnancy. The first few months I went a little crazy with the fast food but the last 4 months I started eating more healthy stuff. I would just try to stay away from the junk food and exercise (I walked the last 3 months of my pregnancy.) Although I do regret the way I gained....I sure had fun and enjoyed myself (eating) I decided not to worry about it until after I gave birth. Now I'm 8months pp and have 12 lbs to lose (I'm doing Weight Watchers)

Bosbeans-thats what I need to do is Weight Watchers. I gained close to 60 pounds with my baby. But I have also had a lot of water retension in my last tri mester. I was 140 pre prego. And I am tired of having this extra weight on me. It makes me feel like crap.

For those of you watching your weight during pregnancy, all I can say is EAT. But just watch what you are eating. I think I put most of my weight gain early on in the pregancy & then after that it was mostly water. I need to start walking every morning. Get Joey out, put him in the stroller & get to movin.

Perfect Advice

I'm having the exact same problem... my dr. didn't say anything about my weight. I weighed 158-160 pre pregnancy and now only 7 weeks have put on 10lbs and im showing threw everything. I just want a healthy pregnancy, so im trying not to let the words of others bother me. A lot of friends are like wow ur already showing and wow your gonna get really big!! But i have to think of my baby and me and not other people!! So ima try to stick to eating healthy and excersing.

People said the same thing to me. I was showing way early too and I gained alot of weight during the first few months. I had people say " Are you sure there's only one in there?" My little girl was 8lbs 6oz and my husband and I are not big people (I'm 5' 3" and my husband is 5' 7") Try not to listen to what other people say just listen to your doctor (which I didn't for 6 months) and eat healthy and exercise.

well that's good to hear!! I have to friends who are pregnant and one is 8 mths and she started showing at 4 and one is 5 mths now and same with her. The one who is 8 mths is the one that said i was big. I told her she couldn't compare my body to hers. That every pregnancy is different. And Im 5'5" and my bf is 5'11" so we are tall people and my bf weighed 8lbs when he was born!! Plus I think im retaining a lot of water

Yeah I retained alot alot of water.I had massive "log legs". And yes every pregnancy is different for different people. I gained a total of 70lbs during mine (YIKES!) But, i didn't worry about weight loss until 6 weeks after giving birth.

HOw much have you lost since having your daughter? Your the one doing Weight Watchers right? I am seriously thinking about doing that. I have done that in the past & I lost about 20 pounds. I need to get to walkin also. I topped the scales @ 200 when I delivered & I have only lost about 20 so far. I need another 40 off to be where I was pre-prego.

Lets see I weighed about 187 right after I deliveredand I've hit a plateau here at 142 so 45lbs altoghether (if I've subtracted correctly). I was on it prepreggers and had lost 20lbs and had maintained my weight loss for over a year and then got pregnant. My goal is to reach around 128 - 130. I love WW I'm doing the flex plan and altough I'm losing slowly they say it's best to do so because youre more likely to keep the weight off (and this was true for when I had lost the 20) I don't go to the meetings i do the online program which works for me being a sahm.....and I can weigh myself naked....hee hee.

OH wow. SOunds like you are doing a great job in losing weight. I would need to go to the meetings. That is my motivation for me. Idk. I could probably try the online ones. Like I said, 140 is a good weight for me. Maybe even 135. If my weight gets below that, then people will think I look aneroxic(??). When I was like 22 or 23 I was at a size 5 & people said I look too skinny. But I didnt think so. I am 5feet 4 inches. Just one 1 inch taller than you. All I know is I gotta do something. Need to lose in my belly, thighs & arms.
