Weight Issue How Much Did You Gain/lose?? Posted: 11-07-05 12:31pm
I was curious what everyone's experience
has been so far. I am at about 5 months
w/ my first pregnancy. I've gained about
5lbs. I am overweight, by about 50lbs. I
am mindful of what I eat. I don't eat
fast food. I put the fork down when I am
full.
I was curious, is there a time when the
weight "snowballs". I'm shooting for a
gain of about 15-20lbs. So far so good, I
walk about a mile 3x's a week. If I can
find a prenantal yoga class, i'll go.
Many people i've spoken to gained 60 ponds
or more. Some didn't feel concerned at
all about it. My fear is being able to
lose the weight in a timely fashion. Oh,
I also plan on breastfeeding :)

Looks like we are both doing ok (so far
:0) ideally I should be about 130-140lbs.
I was feeling starved until recently.
They all say everything evens out at the
beginning of the first trimester.
Well......It was more like the first four
months!
It seemsed at times if I didn't get my
mid-morning snack (apple,banana,cheese,
crackers) it was a national emergency.
Now I carry snacks everywhere, as well as
a 16 oz bottle of water. Water makes you
feel full, and is great for the baby.
Hopefully having a baby will amp up my
metabolism. I'd dearly love to shed some
fat :)

Yes, my fiancee would get mad at me
because he said that I would wait until I
was really hungry to ask him to get me
some food (i was on bedrest) because when
I asked for the food I kept telling him to
hurry up, hurry up, i'm so hungry! But I
told him I didn't wait until the last
minute it's just that one second I won't
be hungry and the next second I feel like
I am starving and I need food at that very
moment!
I've calmend down a bit but i'm still
always soooooo hungry!!

I've gained more than it should be. I am
now 152 lbs (used to be 110 lbs). I am
on my 8th month of pregnancy. 8 more
weeks to go.. And think I will still gain
more! Dear, oh dear!!!! My dr said that
our baby might end up between 8-9 lbs.
Definitely a serious workout after my
delivery.

At my last appt. I lost the only pound I
had gained. From what I hear, you gain
weight really quickly in the last month.
I am expecting the weight to start piling
on soon with the way I am eating.

I lost about 8 lbs in my first tri then
gained about 60-65lbs with my preg (but
when giving birth found out I had 2
amniotic sacs) so I blame it on that-lol.
I'm back down to about 145 now-got about
15-20 I wanna lose.
