So much has been going on. I was without a computer for a while. I was on the east coast in early April, and my laptop was stolen from my mother's apt while we were at the funeral.. Nice huh? Someone literally broke in through her ceiling. She lives on the 3rd floor of a 3 floor walk up.. blah. My weight is up. But I put that to baby. I log what I eat and it's what I should be eatting. when I say up I am still 10 lbs less then I was when I got pregnant but not near my low anymore. Then again I am almost 30 weeks pregnant and i know that I have some fluid starting to settle on me. It's so hard to see that scale go up. It's all I can do not to fight it. I have to relay on the fact i KNOW I am doing all I can.. otherwise I could be doing something to harm the baby by trying to loose it again... Speaking of baby.. at 28 weeks I had another ultrasound. She's fallen even further behind. She was on time .. then 2.. 3.7. and now 10 days behind. She's still int he 'normal' range but it's hard to hear your body seems to be failing this little life inside you. The don't tend to 'worry' until the baby drops below 10% (1% behind small 99% being big) and she's rocking or was 2 weeks ago at 27%.. I go back on June 7 for yet another ultra sound to see where she is. what I can tell you is she was est to be 2lbs 1 oz and she already had some hair It's hard not to compare my pregnancy's. Sterling always measured right on. She came at 39w1d on her own and she was 7lbs 12 oz and 21" she's always been off the charts since month 1. she's at about 105% in both weight and height. She was 35lbs and 40.5" at her 3rd bday.. I am not sure how I will be able to deal with a peanut. It's going to scare me. But on June 7 they will see where she is at and decide from there. It may get so she does better out then in. I hope to hang onto her until 36 weeks... 37 weeks is term. I am not sure why I have 36 weeks in my head. but it seems so much less scary then 34 w

I am not at goal yet. I am guessing that I need to lose about 20lbs plus or minus a few since my scale differs from my surgeons. One to two pounds a week at this stage is great for your weight loss. I seem to lose in stages, none for several weeks then 3-4lbs. Some months nothing. I plan to keep trying and hope what ever I do end up losing will stay off with all the lbs lost. From everything I have heard many people end up gaining 15 -20 lbs from their lowest weight so maybe if it comes off slowly it will stay off. At least I hope so. Sher

Whoohoo! Great WOW moment Susan! Lizzie

I'd like to get down to 140 which is about 18 lbs away, but if I stay at this weight, I'm fine, too, because except for the excess skin, I actually look a bit skinny. And, i don't know how much excess skin I have in terms of poundage. I am now weighing myself twice a month so I'll see what I weigh next week. Sue

It seems like most of you are pretty close to where you want to be. I was a year out on April 20. I'm down 141lbs and still want to lose another 40 or so. My weight loss has slowed down to 1-2lbs a week. I'm happy with that as long as I still keep losing. I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum is still aways from goal? Best of luck to all of you.
