I had a mc a couple months prior to this pregnancy and had gained a few pounds with that pregnancy, and then gained a few more stress-eating after the loss. I hope to get down to my ideal weight after I have this baby, but I know that it'll take awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/3#post-884793 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 01:36:39 +0000 SweetMamaM 884793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can never work out pounds from kilograms but I was about 15 kilograms heavier than I would have liked, but 10 kilograms lighter than at my heaviest. My aim is to try and not get too far over that "heaviest" weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/3#post-884763 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 00:33:05 +0000 sarac 884763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I had lost 35 pounds out of 55 that I wanted to lose. So, I felt great, and beautiful, and strong. But not done. 21 months PP I'm sitting at a few pounds above my pre-preg weight, but I can't lose any more while I'm still breastfeeding. It's a drag, but not the end of the world.</p> <p>If any of you are like me and unluckily not able to lose weight despite breastfeeding often ( :sad: ), you can at least focus on your fitness! I'm in the best shape of my adult life, now, and that feels amazing. I know that when I'm done breastfeeding and I can actually diet again, I'll do awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884746 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 23:46:35 +0000 daniellemybelle 884746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not, and I'm sad about it! I was about 50 lbs over my ideal weight, and at my heaviest ever, when we got pregnant. I've since gained another 10 lbs (24 weeks) and so I am going to have AT LEAST 60 lbs to lose, probably quite a bit more... I'm hoping breastfeeding will help with the first bit, and then I'm going to join WW. I'm committed to at least getting within the healthy range for my height (30 lbs lighter than pre-pregnancy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884679 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:51:51 +0000 MrsRcCar 884679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was not at my ideal weight, not even close. Now however I am about 15 pounds away from my ideal weight. Having N has got me motiviated to get healthy and drop weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884676 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:46:05 +0000 luckypenny 884676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was my ideal weight (although DH thought I was too thin). I think this time around I may not be MY ideal weight but I'm much healthier and taking care of myself so I think it'll make for a better pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884630 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:20:27 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 884630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at the time i thought i was not....now i would give anything to be at my pre-preg weight, wahhhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884613 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:11:32 +0000 Grace 884613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 20 lbs over according to my scale and 40 lbs over according to my doctors (I choose to believe in my scale ;. ). It did take a year to get pregnant, but whether that's to do with overweightedness or not, I don't know. So, I say, for sure work on getting healthy (because you'll just feel better), but if you don't lose the whole 45, remind yourself that you lost 5 or 10 or 20, 'cause that's awesome too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884598 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:04:39 +0000 bisous 884598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nooope. Getting pregnant in September meant I never had time to lose my summer weight in the fall and winter! I was about 10 more than my ideal weight. And almost 20 more than my lowest on Weight Watchers. I don't think I will ever get back there though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884562 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 21:47:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 884562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Lol I have been waiting forever! I seriously can't wait! I feel like I've been a member on here the longest who doesn't have a LO or TTC yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884441 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:36:44 +0000 Mrs Spoon 884441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at my ideal weight when we started TTC but got my BFP soon after the holidays so I was about 5ish lbs above where I normally am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884415 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:26:24 +0000 photojane 884415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Good plan! I know you've wanted to TTC for a while... I'm hoping/praying everything falls in place for you soon. The end of the year is only 5 months away -- I'm so excited for you!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884351 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:02:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 884351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: awww you are too sweet! Well right now, DH is job searching, and if he gets a new job making more than what he's at now. I think we might start trying at the end of the year! So I'm just focusing between now and then on getting healthy! I'm not going to put a number on it though. I've come to that conclusion. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884339 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 19:57:59 +0000 mrsbookworm 884339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. In fact, I weigh less now 7 weeks after having a baby than I did when I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884320 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 19:48:27 +0000 photojane 884320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Girl, I was probably 40 pounds off my ideal weight. I didn't want to wait a year to have a baby so that I could lose weight - life is short - so we just went for it. I had no problems TTC and a healthy pregnancy &amp; baby. If you want to lose weight, then go for it! BUT, don't put so much pressure on yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884247 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 19:14:01 +0000 T-Mom 884247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at a good weight but not fit. After DD turned 2 I lost the baby weight and also got fit and felt great. I then got pregnant with DS haha. I'm back down to my original weight pre babies but am working on getting fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884202 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:46:54 +0000 Purpledaisy 884202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 10 pounds over my ideal weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884194 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:39:49 +0000 autumnlove 884194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Me too. I need to find motivation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884181 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:34:59 +0000 FarmWifeGina 884181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't TTC, this pregnancy kind of happened by accident BECAUSE of my weight loss (it can really screw with your hormones, mix things up). I had lost 70+ of the 95-100 lbs. I was working on losing. Hoping to get back on the bandwagon when I'm done nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884176 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:32:26 +0000 anonysquire 884176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am continuing to TTC while getting to my ideal weight. I am not going to let anything else come before TTC. Since we first started trying I have lost 50 pounds but have still not fallen pregnant. So I guess all I can do is lose more weight so I hopefully get pregnant when I reach my ideal weight and then have a baby and get to lose it all over again? Not sure if my thinking is rational. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884166 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:26:59 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 884166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh no! I got KU at 238. 2.3.8! I wish it would have happened when I was fit at 150 with 12% ish body fat. BUT I'm going to the gym now with the hope of not gaining to much &amp; so labor &amp; recovery may be easier for me. All that matters at this point is that we have a healthy LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884086 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 17:55:58 +0000 Honeygold89 884086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all I had just started getting serious about losing weight and got my bfp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-884083 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 17:53:17 +0000 deactivated_account 884083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Haha! This made me laugh so hard... I fear this will be my situation, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-797009 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:00:29 +0000 LulaBee 797009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was okay with my weight when I got pregnant, gained 55 while pregnant, still have 10 lbs to go but my body LOOKS so different- I still look pregnant. So my goal now is to lose 30 lbs before NTNP when DD turns 1 in August. Probably not going to happen, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-796959 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:56:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 796959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 5-10 pounds from my ideal (depending on what day you asked me).</p> <p>Now that I'm almost 4 months post partum, I would do just about anything to be there again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-796940 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:59:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 796940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty close to it, but still a little above it. I still have a ways to go to get back there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-796923 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:01:12 +0000 illumina 796923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had about 7lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight pre-preg, which I wanted to do. It didn't happen beforehand, but morning sickness through week 15 or so made sure that weight fell off anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-796475 Mon, 20 May 2013 18:47:06 +0000 lamariniere 796475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was completely happy with my weight at the beginning of my 1st pregnancy. I gained 29lbs and it all came off quickly, I credit breastfeeding. I'm thinner now for the start of my 2nd pregnancy, but not as fit, I'm just hoping the extra weight will slide off like it did with #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-at-your-ideal-weight-before-you-got-pregnant/page/2#post-796177 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:37:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 796177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was...I was in the best running shape of my life just before I got pregnant. I'd like to eventually get back there! </p>
