You know I weigh daily too, I'm kind of obsessed. I've had a lot of fluctuation, maybe it's just an upward swing for now but will come back in a few days. I'm sure you are beautiful even with the extra!

I should stop weighing daily
Then I wouldn't know that I gained 2 lbs in one day.

WTH? It seemed to take me forever to gain with my DD, but I'm already up 10 lbs at 15 weeks with this one. I'm not eating so terribly much and it's mostly healthy stuff, but I'm not getting much exercise this time. But still, 2 lbs in one day?! It must be bloating.
So how much have you gained?

I like to weigh myself first thing in the morning after I pee because that's when it's the lowest of the day!

I've gained about 5 lbs. this pregnancy and I had gained 10-15 by this point with my DD.
I'm really glad I've been better about eating this time. Hopefully I won't look quite as big in the face toward the end. I'm in my sister's wedding in June and would like to be one of those cute pregnant women that just looks like they have a belly!

At least my older sister who is also in the wedding is only 3 weeks behind me, so we can be matching whales in our dresses.

I've gained in between 40-50 lbs with each and it's all come off eventually, so I'm not too worried. Although, I did go into this preg differently because med-induced weight gain last summer and then a misscarriage in Sept. So I'm starting at 140lbs instead of the customary 125-30. I don't own a scale either (bad, bad things for me psychologically--or they used to be!) so I won't know til Wed what's goin on. I eat well, I don't stress it much. (BUT! I don't like being so big towards the end--big babies, lots of fluid in a short torso, it all pokes out)

I weigh myself every few days. I'm about a pound below my starting weight. By this point in my pregnancy with my daughter I was significantly lower because I was super sick. I'm just grateful I'm not sick.

My EDD is Aug. 1, and thus far I've gained zilch. I consider this a great thing for two reasons. 1) I started this pg overweight because of a medication I was taking and 2) By this stage in my pg with DS I had LOST thirty pounds due to Hyperemesis Gravidarium and am so grateful to not have had such severe sickness this time around.

HA! I was back down 2.5 pounds this morning. That's it! I'm not doing this everyday anymore. Maybe once a week. Or no more than every two days, anyway.

Non-preggo I'm a daily weigher (bad I know!) and I've quit for now. I usually gain 1 or 2 lbs. in the first tri and I'm up to 8 or 9 at 14 weeks. I will admit that I haven't been watching my diet as closely as I should be. Like those 6 cookies I ate today

I'd rather be packing on the pounds than worrying that I'm messing with my health or the health of the baby because losing weight is a sign of insufficent nutrition. Sigh. Just goes to show that nobody should weigh themselves every day. No matter what it says it just makes us crazy! |

I have been eating like crap. I smoked, bad habit, I know but it's been 15 years or so, and I just never seem to fully kick it. Anyway, I obviously quit smoking when I, suprise, found out I was pregnant. I feel like I am eating to make up for losing smoking and eating because I'm hungey or sick feeling. I have not gained very much up until now, but this morning I was pretty high. I have not been weighing everyday, but I am going to start so I can obsess and drive myself crazy on a daily basis. Plus, i will start eating better. I just finished off a bag of reese's pieces so I wont have that temptation anymore.

- I've gained 12 pounds already. I'll be 13 weeks in 2 days. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted, to deal with morning sickness in the first several weeks, and just got on a roll. It's time to cut that out so I am no longer eating sweets or anything fried!
I gained 57 pounds with each of my 2 previous pregnancies (lots of it water weight). It took me a year and a half to lose the weight with my first daughter. I lost 37 of the 57 pounds in a year and three months with my second daughter (who is now 18 mos.)
So I still had 20 left to lose when I got pregnant again. Sigh. Now if I gain 57 pounds again (seems likely at this rate!) I will be the hugest blob everseen in my mirror!

So I gotta get it under control. I rarely weigh, but I'm thinking I need to, maybe twice a week? Ugh.
