Normal range- 145-152.
the day I got preggo- around 162 (booo)
the day I gave birth- 202!!!!!!

one year later- 165

so, I have 15 lbs to go at least.

anything lower than 145 and I don't look that great.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I was overweight before getting pregnant. My DD is now 3.5.

I'm now 20 lbs. below that. The good thing is that I lost all the pregnancy weight almost right away probably because I breastfed. It's been REALLY hard to lose that 20- but if I lose 15-20 more pounds I will be very happy.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I am a human yo-yo

I usually hover around the mid 140's. A month before I got PG with Alex, at my wedding, I was around 130lbs.

Got up to 180lbs during my pregnancy, and hovered in the 150's afterwards until Alex was 2.5; then I lost a lot of weight and got down to the 120's.

Got pregnant a few months later with Yael and ballooned up to 185lbs by the time I delivered.

18 months later, and I'm officially at 128lbs. So I don't really know where I am relative to my pre-pregnancy weight since it changes so much!

I would still love to lose another 5lbs or so, but I am really happy where I'm at... or, at least, my DH is, that's for sure!

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I gained 35lbs with my twins and lost all the weight before getting pregnant again.
This time I was up 2lbs at 20 weeks, so we'll see what I gain with this pregnancy.
After this baby is born i plan on making conscious effort to really get into shape.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I gained 45 lbs and lost them all. I am the same weight as I was before pregnancy. But, now that I'm pregnant again I can look forward to gaining and having to lose again!

Can I just say that I would give my left boob to weigh any of you before weights.

ditto

prebaby - fat
pregnant - fatter
postbaby - back to being fat but look fatter still

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I was underweight when I got pregnant (i think i was like 120-122?) for my height i think the dr. said i was borderline.

I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy..i wanted to die..

Im back to 125 but it took almost a whole year to get back to that. My shape is definitely not the same though.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

Wedding day - 125 (130 by the time I came back from my HM... my wedding gown was a sample, I needed to be SKINNY!)

Pre-DD - 138 (and had been working out like a maniac to drop 8lbs, didn't happen)
Got up to 189 (and stopped counting)
Lost all but 5lbs..

Pre-DS - 143 (coincidentally was on a diet the month I got pregnant)
Got up to 188
and now I'm stuck at 150.

10 lbs to go before I'm happy...
20 lbs to go before I walk around naked all the time.

DITTO! and a little for me

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

Before I was preggo w/ DS I was 182. During my pregnancy I hit 206 at the highest. DS was born 12/29 and by 4/26 I was 172. I've stayed there.

I want to get to 160.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I am not giving out numbers, but, will say, I joined WW back in July.
I am below my Preggo and Pre Preggo weights with both kids.

I have a lot more to go, but, joining WW helped me tremendously.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I gained a ton of weight after I got married for a variety of reasons. I had been at my heaviest right before I got pregnant. I gained 45 lbs during pregnancy and lost it all by 6-8 weeks PP. I hated my body though. Towards the end of BFing and after I weaned DS, I gained at least 8 lbs back. I finally went back to eating right and exercising when DS was 18 months old. I've lost about 35 lbs and feel so much better about myself. I'd love to lose another 20 lbs to really get back to the old me.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

I should have added to my post...I was never a small girl, but slightly overweight, nothing too bad, and also played sports a lot. In college I was in a bad relationship, up to no good etc and was the smallest I was ever.

Then when I left that lifestyle, my weight went up, then my brother died, and my weight just kept going up. That's not an excuse, but kind of how it started to downward spiral then when I met DH and we became more serious, I just kind of let things go and now after DD....yeah I need to start taking this seriously now. It's beyond a weight thing for me now, its a mental thing, a health thing, for my future.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

Normal weight: 165 (I'm 6'1" for perspective)

When I got pregnant with #1: 155
At delivery: 224

Pregnancy #2: 165
At delivery: 220+

Pregnancy #3: 165
At delivery: 216

Now 4 months PP and I'm back at 165. I'd like to get down to 160-155.

FWIW, I make a conscious effort on my intake. I think the biggest culprits for my weight gain during pregnancy are cheese fries and Pepsi. When I'm not pregnant, I keep fries to a bare minimum and rarely drink soda...it's usually water for me. AND I usually make myself "earn" my wine/champagne/mixed drinks, meaning if I don't run, I can't drink.

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

Before kids 115lbs

after DD#1 104lbs
(gained 21 during p/g)(DD was 7lbs 12oz)

after DD#2 108lbs
(gained 32 during p/g)(DD was 9lbs 3oz)

I had hyperemesis with both p/g's and my boobs shrunk afterwards

Re: Lets talk prebaby weight

Wedding day I was around 110 pounds.

When I got pregnant, I was around 120 pounds. I gained about 20-25 pounds during my pregnancy.

Think I was back down to 115 about 10 months pp.

When I got pregnant with #2, I was once again about 120 pounds.

I'm going to try to get back to 110 after DC#2 is born. We'll see how well that goes.
