Monday Weigh in

Woohoo Erika!  Good job!  I sent you an email :-)
I stayed the same this week.  Hey, I will take that over a gain any day!

Not to bad, I gained the most in the second trimester I think. You are rebounding from starvation and sickness LOL.

Well I wasn't going to weigh until Savannah's birthday but Friday night I worked the gym and that scale was calling my name. I had just worked out hard for 2 hours, jumped on and was shocked to have GAINED 2 pounds. I ran home and weighed, indeed I had gone from 168 to 169.8. It was devastating. So I have weighed every morning since Friday and the weight slowly came off.
Saturday 168.3
Sunday 167.8
Monday, this morning 166.2.

I don't know why I had such a huge gain. Maybe my muscles were retaining water. I am relieved it went down but pretty disappointed overall in the weight loss of the last month. For the first time ever I wanted to give up. The funny thing is there is nothing to give up. I don't want to pig out or stop exercising. This is my lifestyle now and I will just keep plugging along until I am a normal weight.

So total weight loss since I weighed last 2 weeks ago 1.8 pounds. Total since 2/9/09 almost 74 pounds.

FREAKING AWESOME! I am so incredibly proud of you, and you should be of yourself. I suck and gained 2 pounds- pigged out this weekend seemed to be a complete understatement for me this weekend LOL I want to do it your way, I just don't know how you find so much time to exercize! Maybe when DH gets home, I can get on that eliptical 3-4 days a week.

It is really a challenge to exercise daily. The kids come with me when I walk outside. They are protected from the weather in a Burley that has plastic windows. Paul will watch them when he is home and I pay Savannah to watch them if he isn't and I only do 45 minutes. I have a Wii Fit but I don't use it and I have a treadmill I have never used. It sucks compared to the gym one. I think next summer I might buy an eliptical because the gym closes for the summer.

You all make me look awful!!!  I am 30 weeks and have gained 23 pounds.  I have just under 10 weeks to go and am trying to stay under 30 pounds.  This is my 4th pregnancy and I have never gained during a pregnancy before.  When I was obese, I always had hyperemisis and had terrible pregnancies.   I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy, but the weight gain is killing me!!!! I keep telling myself that I can have my band refilled after the baby gets here, and lose it again, but it doesn't help much!!

Hello everyone... I am down another pound now at 368. at least my weight loss is slowing down like the doctors wanted...lol ooo and last night I splurged and ate 3 mozz sticks from a pizzeria...eeek  I have lost 44 lbs sense beginning of sept when I found out I was pregnant. I'm not to sure if thats a good thing or bad.

I'm still down 3 pounds since I found out I'm pg...at 12 weeks tomorrow.  I expect that to start changing soon, though, because I see the light at the end of the morning sickness tunnel.
