It's really motivating since I know it helps her reach her goal, and she is so gentle and patient with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103982 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:49:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: How awesome. Ya, I've done ZERO WORKOUT. unless running after a toddler is considered cardio ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103953 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:35:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 103953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: haha cool! So we ARE really similar... yay! </p> <p>I went all the way down to 145 with weight watchers a year after my wedding, but I know I'm older and after 2 kids it'll be a lot tougher this time around. So 150 would be fantastic for me... but at the same time I want to stay realistic. I think an initial goal of 160 would be ideal, and then getting those last 10 pounds off will definitely be a challenge but SO worth it. Plus this time I hope to do it with exercise, not just eating right-- when I lost the weight with weight watchers, my clothes looked so much better but I was still really flabby and very much not happy with my body even after losing 25 pounds!</p> <p>I have a friend who is training to be a yoga and crossfit instructor, and she's been doing prenatal yoga sessions with me for her training, and it's been awesome. We were doing crossfit before I got pregnant, and I really surprised myself by being able to do things like box jumps. So I'm excited for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103945 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:30:48 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I'm so with you!!!!! I need motivation. A buddy because otherwise I slack off! </p> <p>Actually now that you say it, my highschool weight was about 140 and college 160. ha. so we are right there together. I would LOVE to get down to 150, but I don't want to discourage myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103935 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:28:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 103935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I agree, it's a perfect motivation tool!! Your progress during your pregnancy is definitely inspiring... keep it up, mama! And post baby we'll definitely have to lose it together! I don't see myself getting back to high school weight (135) but getting to college weight (150) would be perfect. So our goals are pretty similar! Let's do it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103922 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:25:47 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I think rewarding ourselves with "material" stuff is PERFECT!!!! ;) Hopefully if I keep gaining the way I am right now, I'll leave the hospital thinner then when I got pregnant. But I've been working on getting back to my highschool weight. 160 lbs. So thats 30 lbs more to lose. yikes!</p> <p>I told myself a shopping spree would be the end prize, seeing my current clothes would no longer fit. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103913 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:21:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 103913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: let's do it!!! I decided that for every 5 lbs I lose post-baby, I'll treat myself to something nice. Right now it's yoga clothing from lululemon-- SO pretty, and motivation to work out to be able to wear it! At first I thought wait, that's so expensive... but hey, if it gets really expensive, that's a GOOD thing because then I'll have lost 20 lbs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103909 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:19:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I'm with you on the MILF status. ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103903 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:14:49 +0000 regberadaisy 103903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last 34 week appointment I had gained a total of 33.6lbs. I'm happy and healthy so I'm not worried! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103883 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:57:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 103883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I did! I lost all but 5 lbs in the first month just from the breastfeeding, and I had zero appetite the whole first month. I slowly lost the last 5 over the next year or so. I'm really really hoping I can keep my weight gain to about the same and lose it exactly the same way as last time.... and then getting to MILF status after that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103861 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:47:10 +0000 joyjoy 103861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: Good to know I'm not alone! I'm not *trying* to lose weight, and the baby is doing/growing fine. I figure as long as the baby is healthy the weight will come on where and when it needs to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103836 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:31:30 +0000 calsmom 103836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: For me, ignorance is bliss :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103820 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:10:26 +0000 kokobee 103820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i gained 40lbs :X... so hard to lose the last 10! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103814 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:06:42 +0000 jennylynn 103814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! Good to know ahead of time! I know I need to re-evaluate my eating habits after baby. I've really slipped on healthy eating since becoming pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103791 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:51:45 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: Oh that's a great weight gain. I wouldnt worry about it. ONly advice, is that when you stop breastfeeding be sure to watch was you eat because I kept eating the same and I gained back a 10 lbs I had lost. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103774 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:33:17 +0000 jennylynn 103774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28 lbs at 37 weeks. I don't have an easy time losing weight at all, so I'm really hoping BF will help me lose it after baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far/page/2#post-103645 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:55:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: Really? I love knowing how much i've gained. Motivates me to lose once baby arrives. I guess everyone is different with their weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103643 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:54:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Don't worry it will come off! Did you lose your baby weight before having baby #2? I still had 5 lbs to lose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103429 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:52:08 +0000 calsmom 103429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too scared to weigh myself! The nurses weigh me with me facing away from the scale. I know that it is at least 40ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103416 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:40:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 103416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really want to keep count but with the last number on the scale I had to go back and figure it out so that I can be more careful. I gained a total of 35-40 lbs with Wagon Jr., and at 22 weeks I've already gained 20 :( That is, 20 since my 10 week appointment, so it's actually more. Yikes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103373 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 19:39:04 +0000 cyndistar3 103373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing really good until the last 2 weeks now Ive gained a totalof 18 lbs at 28 weeks :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103366 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 19:28:36 +0000 aunt pol 103366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: thats pretty much where i was, early on - my ppetite was shot so I was losing weight, even though babies having no trouble, growing fine. They do most of their fattening up in the third trimster - up to about a half pound a week - so unless you were borderline underweight to start with, don't worry about it. You'll surely make up for it later on! I lost 15.5 pounds between end sept and end jan, and i have them back on now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103354 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:48:02 +0000 pastemoo 103354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happymama: I try hard to wear light clothes to the doctor, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103352 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:45:48 +0000 banana 103352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 21 weeks and I've gained 8 lbs. I gained 20 lbs with my 1st pregnancy so I'm hoping to do the same with this one. Gestational diabetes will definitely keep your weight under control. :( Good but bad because I can't give into my cravings!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103340 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:37:58 +0000 Happymama 103340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Getting weighed at the dr's office is the worst!! I carefully chose the lightest weight outfits when going to dr's visits. Then I'd take off anything extra like jewelry, sweaters and SHOES!!! Those extra ounces mattered to me!! ;))</p> <p>I gained 40 with my first, 45 with my second, and 32 with my third. Watched my calorie intake with my third. Tried to have no more than 1800 calories a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103322 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:26:56 +0000 pastemoo 103322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'0" with not a whole lot of room for baby. I've gained 32.2 pounds at 32 weeks and I feel like a huge blimp/whale/monster.<br /> My mom said the weight gain would slow down 3rd tri... it did until this week--I gained 4 pounds since Friday. SO OVER IT.<br /> I now weigh 140 pounds, and everything hurts. Frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103313 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:15:50 +0000 joyjoy 103313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 weeks and according to the doctor's scale, I'm -1. Not sure how that works since I don't fit any of my pants or underwear anymore, and I've gone up two cup sizes already. So I'm getting bigger but not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103249 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:57:24 +0000 aunt pol 103249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 weeks now, according to hosp scales have gained 2 lbs. (I already had plenty spare.) Appetite vanished in first trimester, and between 30th sept and 30th jan I'd actually lost 15.5 lbs, now I've put the buggers back on again:( Could be worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103213 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:51:14 +0000 chopsuey 103213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So crazy how you've only gained 8.5lbs! I gained 50ish by my last appt. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gained-so-far#post-103151 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:59:52 +0000 mrsjazz 103151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: 38wks1day!
