1st - 50
2nd - 60
3rd - 60

And it got harder to lose the weight with each one. I'm really working HARD now to get back to pre-pregnancy, pre-marriage, pre-engagement weight.

pregnancy gain?

I was extremely careful. I was not going to go over the 25 I was allowed. I actually gained 27 pounds, 6 were in the last month. After 3 weeks I was at my pre-pregnancy weight.

I gained a total of 35 pounds. Lost 22 pounds within a week , and then lost an additional 10 pounds within the next two weeks. I have since gained 10 pounds back.

My sister, my cousin and I both gained 92 pounds exactly (at different times). It didn't matter what we did, either...unfortunately it just runs in the family. BUT, finally after 4 years, my cousin and I are both starting to lose the weight.

Wow, 92 pounds? I don't want to be mean but that is a huge amount of weight. I don't want to burst your bubble but do you really believe that it runs in the family? There is no proof that it does, in fact just the opposite. Doctors, nurses, people I know who have gained to much weight while pregnant all say that it was from over eating and unhealthy eating. I knew a girl who gained 85 pounds while pregnant, just blew up like a balloon, all she ate was Jack in the Box, McD's, Taco Bell, and tons of sweets. If you eat healthy its impoosible to gain that much weight. After all you have to eat an extra 3500 calories above what you normally eat to sustain your weight to gain 1 pound. So lets be honest here, this doesn't run in your family, you just ate why too much and made bad choices.

Easy there, tiger.

Above poster raises some validity here. It does take consuming an abundance to gain that much weight, even in a pregnancy, where all bodies do react differently to being preggers. And I agree with being honest with yourself but maybe a the post could be a little more gentle with the delivery?

Gaining weight in your pregnancy is about choices and with the raging hormones ripping through your body, the body and the psyche is usually better off with more healthy selections with water rich foods and energy building calories.

Actually...

I ate mostly salads and fruit. Despite the pushing of my mother and law, I only ate for 1. I don't like sweet stuff, like candy, nor do I eat junk food. I avoid salt when possible, and I cooked my own meals. Before my pregnancy, during and to this day, if I eat at McDonalds or other fast food places, I get nauseated by the smell. I also exercised 5 times a week for 1/2 an hour a day until the day before I gave birth.

My sister on the other hand, ate junk food (I don't think she knows what a salad is) and never exercised. I can see why, in her case, she gained that much weight.

I have no explanation why we were taking care of ourselves in different ways, yet ended up with the same results, other than genetics. I asked my regular doctor (the one during my preganacy had no answers for me) and she had my thyroid tested, and although it was off, it was still within limit. She thought that it was probably a combination of that, and water retention.

Either way, I find your comment offensive. The fact that you would automatically assume that I did not take care of myself and compare me to someone like my sister who did pig out and who does to this day eat a sickening amount of junk food is repulsive.

Thanks for making up my mind about this website. I don't think I will find any friendly support here. Thanks to all of you who were at least polite!

I found the comment offensive as well

This is really over the line and unlike any experience I have had on Peertrainer so far. We really need to be as supportive as possible.

You have to also think about the fact that you can gain quite a bit of weight and not be over weight.

For example I used to weigh 115 (slightly under the normal range of 117 for me). When I got pregnant, I gained 40 pounds, which is still within my weight range. I was not considered overweight until I started getting above 40 (155+ lbs). Even then, I was "just overweight", and had not reached "obese" yet.

I don't know about y'all, but 40 lbs is alot to me!!!

Forgive me for offending anyone, that wasn't my intention. I thought this site was for support but also so people can comment and make other people think about things, I thought it was for holding other people and ourselves accountable for our own choices and downfalls. I myself have lost 50 pounds and still am working on the last 30. I could blame a miserable marriage that I finally left, the type of people I was hanging out with, the environment I was in, and countless other things but what it comes down to and what I had to face was that I did it to myself. Once I admitted that my life started changing for the better. Within the 1st year of leaving my ex husband I lost 50 pounds, I felt free and happy and that was how I did it. I think people need to start taking responsiblity for themselves and stop blaming others or the world for things they have the power to control. I know that once I get to my goal I will never allow myself to lose control again. So my point was that even during pregnancy, unless you overeat its almost impossible to gain that sort of weight. I think women in general think that being pregnant is a license to eat whatever and however much they want to eat. Its a fact that if you eat healthy and exercise not many gain more then 30-35 pounds most even less and usually after 3-4 weeks after giving birth they are back at their pre-pregnancy weight. I myself gained 26 pounds while pregnant and I was extremely careful of what I ate and walked every night. 2 weeks after giving birth I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
You should try to be less sensitive, it was only one comment and its silly to think that you wouldn't get any good support here. There are a lot of people more then willing to give you the support your looking for. I just thought if one was honest and didn't play around with sugar coating their thoughts it might make another take a second look and question themselves and actually hold themselves accountable.
Sorry I offended anyone. And to the original poster of this thread, you should be proud of your success and I hope it continues.

Pregnancy weight

I gained about 40 lbs. with pregnancy and was already overweight. It took me five years to take all the weight off! Something that is hard for me to figure out too is that some people have morning sickness (and we all know this is not limited to the morning) and they still gain weight. I was nauseaus with acid reflux and didn't want to eat and I still gained weight.

To the poster who gained 90 lbs... there are some GREAT people on this website. Don't give up on us! I'm in three groups right now and have gone through a few others to find the right people for my needs. Stick with it. You'll do great! :)

Baby weight

1st time 40 lbs - eating anything, everything and little exercise

Baby was only 5.12 -- lost 20 within 1st two weeks, went to Weight Watchers when she was 2 yrs old and lost another 30 lbs

2nd time gained 40 lbs -- eating Weight Watcher's for breasting feeding women and exercising 3 or 4X a week, baby was 6.12 -- lost all 40 lbs by the time she was 5 mos doing WWers

In the last 5 years I got lazy, happy and a man who loves to cook so I have no babies and 30 lbs to lose.

Ugh dreaded weight gain..

Let's see. I gained 30 lbs with my daughter (who just turned 2) and then got prego right away with #2 (just turned 1) and gained another 20 lbs. :( I had gestational diabetes with both pregnancies.. my babies were both born on the large side of the scale .. daughter was 9 lbs. 4 oz. and son was 8 lbs. 13 oz. .. both were early too.

The "pouch" is my problem.

Baby weight should be called super glue:o)

1st baby I only gained a whopping 40lbs (for a 16 yr old who only weighed 100lbs to start with I was devistated)
2nd baby I gained another whopping 55lbs (lost almost all of this weight and then wound up preggers agian)
3rd baby I gained a slightly smaller amount of 33lbs (with this pregnancy I walked on the treadmill and tried to limit my sweets. I also stopped using my pregnancy as excuse to "eat for two")

I am now 25 yrs old and my youngest son is 18 mos old. I weigh 130lbs and would like to lose 15 more. It has been a long hard road but I know I am not alone and together we can make it!

I also have a "pouch" problem:o)

i agree with the person who apparently offended people. I believe that people should not lie to themselves or sugar coat it. Maybe more people would try harder if they stop making exceptions and less of us would be unhealthy. It is hard to swallow that she gained 93 pounds from eating salads and fruit during pregnancy. Thats why i am commenting on this and i am sorry for offending anybody by this but i am just saying is when somebody said that i was unhealthy looking i did something about it. So i lost 50 pounds and became a personal trainer of my own gym.

I gained 33 with both my kids and lost 35. But not long after I started eating alot of junk food I was a stay home mom and didn't go to work until my daughter was 5 and started kindergarden. I was in a bad marriage for many years and once I finally had the courage to leave I lost 25 in my first year. I would hide at home never go anywhere (only to work and back) cause I was ashamed on how I looked. Nothing fit me and wore shirts too big for me to hide the fat etc. I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder and besides looks are only skin deep it's whats inside that counts.

We are all in this together not to judge anyone. Congrats to all those who have lost weight and to those who are going to. Take care.

too many pounds!!

81 pounds!!

120 to 201.. I was working non-stop while I was pregnant and ate on the go... bad decision. Went on maternity-leave on Friday-went into labor on saturday- had him sunday!!
Lost 36 within 2 months.... then my kidneys failed (due to pregnancy) and blew back up to 195.
He just turned 2 in December and I with my new clean bill of health am struggling to get the rest of the weight off. Currently at 167.

60 lbs!

140, 5'8" toned with 6pack for abs! , then........200 lbs. AAAAnd I Never ate healthier in my life than in those 9 months. gained 30 in last month. my son came 16 days late-could be that had a little something to do??
Anyway, love the site, love the support-and have to agree with some being oversensitive. Hey, we're women talking and sharing about something that can depress us in 2 mins of thinking about it. Let go of the guilt, and welcome the work to make it better!
yes, it's hard, but very worth it.

middle age pregnancy


I gained 40-some odd pounds during my late 30's - then decided to have a baby. I managed to unhealthily drop 15 before getting pregnant. Excercised daily during and ate well but with lots of indulgences. I just stopped breast-feeding last month, and am wondering how on earth to change all the bad habits (binging, feeling bad about myself and eating etc) and face these twenty pounds that mean a lifestyle change. I'm reading your posts here and feeling like maybe I can do it. thanks

I'm a newlywed, trying to lose these 28 lbs. before we start trying to get pregnant. I have 16 more to go, and we are going to start trying in October of this year. I was wondering if anyone else had tried losing before getting pregnant, and if that helped you gain less? Or did you just gain those pounds back plus baby weight? Just curious.

I haven't been pregnant yet, but I am trying to lose weight first too. I have to imagine that, if you develop healthy eating habits in order to lose the weight, and you keep those healthy eating habits during pregnancy (but consult with your doctor about how many calories you'll need to add due to pregnancy), that you'll gain appropriately and be able to take it off afterwards.

If you have the idea in your head, though, that once you reach the goal weight, you're "done," then, you'll probably gain a ton.

Well, Technically, I lost weight AT the end of my pregnancy!

Since you probably are asking, BY the end of my pregnancy, the one I gained the most with was my first, I gained 50 pounds, the doctor fussed everytime I saw him, and the child weighed over 9 pounds All 3 babies were large, my last one was my smallest at almost 9 pounds.

I gained 44 with my first, 50 with my second and 35 with my last. My last child was 8 weeks early so I think I would have gained 50-60 with last had i'd gone full term.

Well I gained appx 40 lbs with both pregnancies but had preeclampsia both times and ended up gaining a ton of water weight due to the swelling. At 8 months I had only gained about 15lbs then started gaining weight at anywhere from 2-5lbs a week.

I myself haven't been pregnant, but I'm watching my best friend go through it now and she is struggling to keep from gaining too much. A lot of people on this thread have mentioned that it's up to the choices you make whether or not you gain weight but the struggle my friend is having is she can't stomach anything but junk food. I'm not relaying this story aas an excuse, I just though it was pretty funny and maybe something those of you who've gained weight through pregnancy can empathize with. She's usually a health freak eating salads and fruits and veggies and other healthy options. But even the sight of an avocado or other healthy snacks sends her retching into the bathroom now. She's been really frustrated by it as this is her 1st pregnancy and she was planning on being one of those super mom's who eats fantastically and exercises and gives their baby the best jump start but sometimes your body just doesn't want to cooperate.

I was about 145 pounds, 5'8" in the best shape of my life & then I got pregnant. I am a former college athlete & I knew what it took for my body to stay in shape. I ate fairly healthy (occasional fast food), but overall I continued to workout and try to eat healthy food choices. However, I gained 65-70 pounds!!! I was so depressed & am still fighting to lose the weight. I've lost 40 so far (son was born 3 1/2 months ago) & have a ways to go. My son was 3 weeks late & 9lbs. 4oz. but it was so hard for me to see myself get so big. I'm still having a hard time dealing with the weight gain, but I'm eating healthier then I've ever ate and working out 6 days a week, so hopefully with time & dedication this weight will finally come off. Good luck to all of you!

1st baby: Start weight 242. Gained 26 pounds. Baby was 8 lb 6 oz. Back to pre-pregnancy weight at 1 week checkup.

2nd baby: Start weight 238. Gained 24 pounds. Baby was 9 lb 8 oz. Back to pre-pregnancy weight within a month.

Both pregnancies I ate very healthfully, carefully following the diet plan outlined in the book "What to Eat When You're Expecting."

I lost 15lbs the first trimester, and then gained 10 back

I burned my body fat through. But after she was born, nursing made me ravenous and by 6 mos post partum, I had nearly achieved my highest pregnancy wt and I wasn'tt prenant.

Same thing happened with second child. I get very nauseous while pregnant and even after the worst of it passed, I was not really liking food much, so I ate alot of fruit and drank tons of soup.

Weght Gain During Pregnancy

Ive gained almost 60-70 lbs ( im not sure of my pre weight) and im only 34 weeks! Im depressed about it. I know i shouldnt be but i am! And all around me i feel that im the only pregnant women that has gained that much. And my mother ( though just trying to help ) is constantly on me about it! Am i the only one?

Don't worry,

My wife (5'5" 110lbs) gained 55lbs with our first and lost it all within 8 months- most of it right away. Now she's 38 weeks (about 40lbs up) and I'm sure she'll do the same thing and drop the weight soon after. If you were skinny like her before you'll more than likely be back there right afterwords. Your down to the home stretch. Having the baby will make the weight gain stuff seam silly.

I have a similar problem as your friend. I gained 8lbs during the first trimester and I really did try to eat salads and veggies, but I seriously couldn't stomach them. I had a particular bad episode after eating some Brussels. Same with Tofu, much to my husbands dismay because I used to make super healthy tofu veggie stirfries often for dinner. Its getting better now that I am in my second trimester but for awhile I ate stuff I NEVER ate before I was pregnant like beef ravioli, mayonaise sandwiches, whoppers and high calorie fruit drinks. My hubby is so sweet and jokes about the alien who took over his wife, as long as I take my vitamins he's glad I'm gaining weight and the baby is healthy.
Oh, I dont have any problems eating fruit however, I eat lots of oranges, cherries, bananas etc. all the time.

Weight gain during Pregnancy

No you are not the only one, I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have gained 55 pounds. "All I Think About Is Food!" I am so depressed I don't even want to leave the house, I am banning everyone from coming to see the baby when he is born just because of my fat self....I have been on modified bed rest for two months wich does not help the situation.
I have two other kids I ate horrible when I was pregnant with them alot of salt and fast food. This time around I have stayed away from the FF joints, but I am still a sweets and fruit junkie....
Good luck and don't be so hard on yourself....like my husband says pregnancy will only last 40 or so weeks of your life!

I gained 33 pounds. Daughter is now 5 weeks old and I haven't weighed myself (don't have a scale) and am nervous about it! I feel like I lost a huge amount that first week and have been gaining some back ever since, as I spend all day sitting in my rocker, feeding her and trying to stay out of my kitchen. (I do go for walks now but I used to be very active during my pregnancy. I hope to get back to that but am not sure how to with the baby around!)

I gained 36 pounds. My son weighed 6.5 ounces and 3 days after he was born I only lost 12 pounds. He is now 6 months old and I have lost only 15 pounds. so i still have 9 pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight which is 162 but my my normal weight is 140 so I actually have about 20 pounds to lose but my goal is 15.

I gained 80 pounds with my first, 60 with my 2nd and 4th and 30 with my 3rd. I know why I gained the way I did with all, because I took advantage of eating. With my 3rd child I ate normal and exercised regular, and didn't gain half as much as I did with the others. Most women will gain that is just part of being preg. but how much you gain is up to you and the food choices you make.

19 with my 1st child
12 with my 2nd--which put me in at weekly weigh in's at the clinic because i wasn't gaining enough weight, but i had plenty of extra in the first place.

However, i gained at least 20 pounds AFTER each child was born because i hated the baby stage and staying home with them.

62 lbs, and I never lost it. Then I continued to gain a few lbs every year until one day I was 195 lbs heavier than I was before I got pregnant! What a rude awakening. But so far I've gotten rid of 53.5 of those excess lbs and I'm working on eating well, feeling better and trying to get rid of the rest so I can be somewhat the same size, shape and fitness level I was way back when...

I gained 35 pounds,I wasn't super carful about what I ate but mostly it was home cooked.Not that homecooked is always good for you but it can be better than eating out.I did get exercise and worked my hiney off on my parent's farm so that is probably why I didn't gain like crazy.

My mom gained 85 lbs with me so that kind of shocked me back into reality! My lucky sister barely gained anything,she makes me sick! In fact until her last month no one could tell she was pregnant and she still wore her regular clothes!

41 pounds gained for a 7 lb 4 oz baby

i gained a whopping 41 pounds. for an 18 year old who is 5'2" and weighed 115 pounds pre pregnancy, this is A LOT. i used to want to gain weight to be volumptuous, and now all i wanna be is skinny again! i gave birth 5 weeks ago and ive lost 25 pounds so far just from breastfeeding, but i hope to lose at least 10 more pounds!! although i did quit smoking and i eat healthier now, so i can say i am healthier over all now!

more than losing weight i want to regain my measurements. they WERE 34a-25-36.... and they are now 36c-31-40. id love to just lose a good 6 inches off my waist and id be set!!! hopefully it turns out ok!!!!

100 the first time and 60 the second. With the first one, I had a very difficult pregnancy and joined WW right after he was born and dropped 40 pounds. Then with the second, I did much better and lost 30 pounds within the first month b/c it was all fluid and I'm still trying desperately to get back to the 150 I weighed pre baby!

there is something about pregnancy...

I gained 65 pounds, eating only lunch and dinner. I did eat more food than normal, bigger meals, because I was worried about getting the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Now I wish I had just taken lots of vitamin pills!!

You know how, sometimes, once you are fat all you have to do is look at food to release insulin? Well I started out pregnancy thin, but I had that insulin overdrive situation going on. People who have never experienced it, don't believe it. To those people I say "have some compassion" or life might arrange for you to learn the hard way...
Best of luck losing the baby weight.... remember, its about insulin

With my first I gained 40 lbs, I gained 20lbs of water weight in the last month and a half of pregnancy. Lost 20 lbs the very next day after delivering and I lost the other 20 about 9 months later.

Now, 3 yrs later, Im 14 weeks prego, started out 20 lbs lighter pre preggo than with my first, and I have lost 2 lbs, so no weight gain yet.

I have been eating a lot healthier and not as much, I was living by the "eat for 2" motto with my first, not this time around!

pre-pregancy weight loss

yes, before my hubby came home from his TDY i had just lost 10 lbs. I'm just starting week 29 and have gained that back plus an additional 30 lbs. i eat only when i'm hungry and it's been kind of a rough one with constant vomitting, which i got medicine for. But she's very tempermental, if i don't eat i puke, if i eat i puke. so pretty much a lose-lose situation. now i've actually started weighing myself, and it's funny cause it can fluctuate about 5 lbs in a day (i'm guessing water weight). The doctor hasn't said anything about it other than i'm on track with the weight gain. so i'm just trying to steady it out over these last stretch.
