I'm on the GD diet, so I've lost weight over the past couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981830 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:39:17 +0000 Mrs. Blue 981830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained just over 40, but my OB was happy with that since it was twins. Not that it's made losing the last 15 lbs any easier. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981355 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:49:47 +0000 maybebaby 981355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Around 53 and I was 123 to start. That is a lot of weight on my frame! I am down to 142, so over 30 gone at 8 weeks PP, but I wish I had been better about the weight gain--I really pigged out toward the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981186 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:13:37 +0000 deerylou 981186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 20 pounds; 10 fell off while I was still in the hospital. At two weeks pp, I've got about 6 pounds left to shred with exercise and clean eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981165 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:10:10 +0000 lindseykaye 981165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 40 lbs but I voted for the 40-50 category because it very well could have been more by the time I delivered from my last appt. beforehand. I do know though that my gain slowed quite a bit at the end and there were even weeks when I lost a couple pounds.<br /> I lost it all by 6 months.<br /> I had an ugly-cry freak out when my midwife started talking about her concern with my weight gain. I think I made her feel bad but she's a tough cookie :) We talked about my eating habits and decided that as long as I continue to make good choices, this is just what my body does during pregnancy. Truthfully, I could have made better choices as I let myself have a full pass for a long time at the beginning (past the morning sicknes) and didn't exercise regularly during a good part of it thanks to the Florida summer heat.<br /> I hope I gain less next time but now that things are over and done with I won't worry if the scale seems to creep up like it did with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981160 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:09:13 +0000 Chillybear 981160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As i sit here eating a soft pretzel....i'm at 30 weeks and i've gained 20.5 lbs. but i was also overweight when i got pregnant. I'm hoping 5 more pounds but i've been taking some pretty big 2-3lb jumps the last few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981127 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:01:46 +0000 Revel 981127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>41 lbs. 20 came off in the first two weeks with no effort. At 8 weeks PP I've got 15 to go. I've only just started to exercise and clean up my diet.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981113 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:58:15 +0000 Turd Ferguson 981113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest, I have no idea where I'm at right now (26 weeks). I feel like I don't have a good "starting" weight--I was NOT eating right/healthy/really at all up until I got my BFP, so my body and metabolism was pretty messed up at first! I only find out my weight at my doctor's appointments (I don't weigh myself at home at all).</p> <p>I'll have to remember to ask them when I go in next where I started at and what my weight is so I can find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981072 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:45:36 +0000 Adira 981072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>43 lbs! Eeek! I was only supposed to gain 25 max!</p> <p>BUT, 1 week pp, I was down 25 lbs.</p> <p>Now at 5 months pp, I'm still up 10 from pre-preg weight, but I'm not too concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain/page/2#post-981068 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:44:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 981068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*60* pounds . . . although that includes the 8 pounds of fluid I gained in my last week (38).

I've been walking ALOT to start labor up (after sitting on my butt for the entire pregnancy), but I've also been eating more, so who knows? </p> <p>I also started out with some extra weight and had really bad morning sickness for a couple of months and lost 10 lbs- don't hate me, I should have really gained more!</p> <p>My doc was a little concerned this morning at the weight loss (I'm hoping it is impending labor, I've read that some people lose right before labor... fingers crossed!!) But water is intact and baby is big, so we are going with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-45904 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:44:30 +0000 cyndistar3 45904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time I gained about 30 and right now Im 16 weeks and have gained 6 lbs so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-45896 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:54:02 +0000 littleveesmommy 45896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got three weeks left and have gained 33 lbs so far. It's more than I was shooting for (under 30) but my midwife seemed ok with the numbers. I did go up 7 lbs in 3weeks at my last visit though. Hopefully I don't gain much more before this little girl comes out, because my back is already pretty achy. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-45794 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:37:28 +0000 DpeachLu 45794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gained 13 pounds at 26 weeks... but it feels like sooo much more :(. Seems like I have now been gaining a pound a week.. so if I keep it up and I should reach around 27 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-45785 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:17:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 45785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gained 10ish pounds at 21 (almost 22) weeks. It honestly feels like much much more because hardly any of that weight is in my baby bump. My boobs have grown three sizes, my thighs have gotten huge (I am getting stretch marks on the outside of my thighs), and my butt and arms are covered in a thick layer of fat. It is pretty depressing.</p> <p>All that negative stuff being said, I think I am on track to gain about 25-30 by the end of my pregnancy. Hopefully no more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-42686 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:26:01 +0000 Clementine 42686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 33 weeks, so far I'm at 25 lbs but I really wanted to stay under 20 because I have back problems. I'm crossing my fingers, I stay within 30 if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-42474 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:09:46 +0000 polkadots 42474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 42. My dr. told me at about 30 weeks that I needed to slow down, so I did even gain an ounce for a month.(not on purpose, it just happened.. since I was eating the same). I'm 4 pounds away from pre-baby weight, + I need to lose 10lbs that magically appeared before pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-42466 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:50:46 +0000 CameronsMomma 42466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained about 45 pounds so far and I've still got 6 weeks left so probably will be at about 50 total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-gain#post-42370 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 06:35:12 +0000 pastemoo 42370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Isn't that the worst?
