I swear I've been eating like a pig and I just weighed myself. I've lost the 3lbs that I have gained since I found out I was pregnant. When I was about to step on the scale I was scared I'd gained like 5 more lbs. I've never been concerned with my weight gain during pregnancy really, but this time I want to keep a close eye on it because I am starting off pretty overweight.

I did that with baby #4, I ate all the time but really only gained 7 pounds total.

Well I know if I eat everything and anything... I'll get HUGE :lol I have been eating a lot of bad stuff though :blush We had Pizza last night and Chinese the night before :teehee That's why I was scared of what the scale was going to say. I was just shocked I had lost weight not gained a ton :lol

I weigh right now exactly what I weighed full pregnant term for Wyatt... That is scary... I am not obsessing over it, but I definitely want to be careful this time around. I could easily go over 200 lbs this time and I am only 5ft tall

Haven't you had morning sickness? Maybe you're not really eating as much as you think you are. I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks and it's mostly just from being so nauseated that I can't eat much without being sick.

Plus, you're burning extra calories growing that new life. So, maybe the baby is just sucking you dry right now :giggle

I've felt sick but haven't thrown up in a couple of weeks. I know sometimes I stop eating pretty quick because I start to feel like puking... but I'm in and out of the kitchen all day grabbing something :lol

Maybe you eating less at each meal but more often is working better for your metabolism. I know my main problem when I diet is that I'm soooo bad about not eating often enough but eating too much at each sitting when I do eat. Pregnancy changes that for me b/c I can only seem to tolerate very small amounts, like half a sandwich... but then I'll eat the other half a couple hours later. This seems to be keeping me satisfied, helping me not puke as much, and it's obviously making me lose weight even though I'm eating enough. So, maybe your metabolism is just liking that you're eating more often and snacking more.

That is probably it. I'm hungry all day and stuffing my face with something but I'm not eating huge portions at a time because it makes me sick. Shit.. I've even had a couple decaf iced coffees loaded with regular half and half and 2 vanilla shakes this week :lmao I seriously still wonder how i didn't gain 5lbs :teehee

Same here! I've lost 8lbs so far and I'm eating like a cow! I dont get it but I'm not complaining LOL

I did that with this one..All I ever do is eat but up until the last month I hadnt gained anything. Well they told me at my last appointment that if I didnt gain any weight then they were going to look at my diet and i did not want that. Welp according to my scale ive gained 5 lbs:lol
