At 38 weeks I am at 20 lbs- I was at 25 lbs two weeks ago and regularly gaining about 5lbs a week, but apparently lost 5 along the way.... 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?
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!
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.

33lbs @ 33 weeks thus far. I'm aiming not to go over 40 & have been trying to walk more & am really watching me portion sizes, but my dr hasn't been worried as all my stats have been good

38 lbs!!!! I'm 5'7 and was 136 prepreg, weighed 176 at highest point, down to 174 going into l&d.
Thankfully I've lost it at 8 months pp.

I was up 16.5 lbs at 24.5 weeks. My home scale is broken so I don't know how much it's gone up since then!

*60* pounds . . . although that includes the 8 pounds of fluid I gained in my last week (38). I was beyond swollen. *augh*
I'm 5'7" (and some change) and was 135 pre-pg, weighed 195 on the day I was induced (it was a surprise induction). I have 20ish pounds to go (15 to my pre-pg weight, and 20 to my ideal weight)
I am 11 months pp (today!)

43 lbs! Eeek! I was only supposed to gain 25 max!
BUT, 1 week pp, I was down 25 lbs.
Now at 5 months pp, I'm still up 10 from pre-preg weight, but I'm not too concerned.

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).
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!

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..

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.

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.
I lost it all by 6 months.
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.
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.

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.

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!

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.

I started at 145 when I got my BFP, my weight at my 10 week appointment was 154, and at 30 weeks I was looking at 168 on my home scale (171 at the midwife's office). I'm on the GD diet, so I've lost weight over the past couple of weeks.

I'll go with 44 because I choose to not count the 6 (!) lbs I gained thanks to massive swelling in the last week I'm 3 months pp and I *think* I still have about 10 lbs to go to get back to my pre pregnancy weight.
