I gained 32 lbs. I was 134 lbs when I got pregnant (10 lbs overweight, I'm 4'11") I got down to 128 lbs with absolutely no effort about 8 weeks after I had her. At the end of February I started working out and eating healthy and I am now down to 109, I've got between 4-9lbs left to lose, I'd like to be between 100-105.

I gained like 46 lbs. 2 years later and I am still trying to lose it! How did you lose yours OP? I was 108lbs before I got pregnant and I am stuck at 138 and can't seem to lose any more! HELP ME! LOL

I only gained 17lbs..I weighed 132lbs when they induced me..still in a size "0"...no stretch marks...yay!! but now I gained almost 15lbs from working..that was bc I would come home around 11p.m. and eat a full course meal in bed the go to sleep..bad idea..=/

you look really good..after I had my son I went under weight..like 102lbs..bc the medicine they gave for the c-section made me sick..and i could not eat=/

I purposly didn't pay too much attentionto my weight gain. I try to not pay attnetion to the number and just focus on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I know I lost about 10 lbs in the 1st tri b/c I couldn't eat much. BUt with my son being 9lb, 6 oz and having a TON of new boobage and fluid in my belly....I believe i went over the 50lb mark, but not sure how far over. I have hovered around 175 since high school...by about 2 mos PP I was back to 175. I am 6'1 though and at 175 am at the top of the recommended weight. I would like to try to get down to 160, but I love food, and am on a new BCpill that is making the weight creep on no matter what I do!!! But it's fixing a diff problem, kind of, so I'll stick with it for now...
I started at a very healthy weight and gained 24 lbs. and lost it all in 3 weeks. I'm now 25 weeks pregnant and I've gained 9 lbs. so far.

Thank you so much. I don't know. I just don't like them. I can't even look at your belly picture. :0(

Quoting Hybrid:
With both of my pregnancies I only gained a total of 16 lbs. I was very healthy and so were my children, both over six lbs at birth and both were premature. I ate very well through out my pregnancy, did a lot of yoga and walked. I didn't "eat for two" I ate enough to sustain both my life and the life of my child.
This was exactly one month before I had my oldest.
the day before I had my youngest.

day before i had ds
day i went home
now
I gained 7 pounds. I went from 96 to 103. I had lost all the weight and then some when i left the hospital.
