I was more than 2 years out when I got pregnant, and my weight had stabiklized for months, though I had never gotten all the way down to my personal goal of 150 (I stayed within the 180s, usually 184-187). I'm 11 weeks tomorrow, and I'm now down to 177-180, so I've lost about 5-10 pounds. My appetite is starting to come back, though (I didn't have much in the way of sickness or nausea, but first trimester really threw my appetite and tastes for a loop), so I don't expect to continue losing.
First off, everyone is different, don't get stuck comparing yourself to everyone else, it will only torture you! That being said, I'll play along... I'm 31 weeks on Thursday and I've gained about 14 lbs so far. I was 6 months out when I got pregnant and about 6 lbs from my goal weight. Being that I was still "overweight" when I got pregnant, my 14 lbs is right in the normal range for this stage of my pregnancy. Some weeks I feel like I gain a lot, other weeks I lose a little... just never know which way the scale is going to go. Good luck with your pregnancy!
