More about weight gain
I had my 20 week appt on Tuesday and I gained 9 lbs in a month, which
definitely raised the eyebrows of my OB! I hadn't gained any weight up until this point so my total is 9 lbs but this is what happened in my last pregnancy, too. I didn't gain any weight until about 16 weeks and then I started packing it on like crazy. There is just something about pregnancy that makes me want to eat all kinds of foods I wouldn't normally eat that I KNOW will make me gain weight. (the wrong kind) Suddenly I am eating cookies, ice cream, peanut butter toast, pasta, mac n' cheese, waffles, fried chicken, cheese and crackers, pop tarts, tacos, etc. These are foods I would not normally care if I ate or not but while pregnant it's like I can't resist. I am looking for a way to get through this pregnancy and not put on 50+ lbs like last time, not only for cosmetic reasons but to keep myself from feeling miserable. I go for daily walks but not doing enough exercise to keep up with my eating. Food is just so darned GOOD right now it seems impossible not to enjoy it.....SIGH.

Wendy,
Obviously I have no advice about not putting on weight, but you and I can be WW buddies after it is all over. :-) Leslie Emily (2/4/91) Jake (1/27/94) Teddy (2/15/95) William (3/5/01 -- VBA3C, 13 lbs. 5 oz.) and Lorelei, expected 11/2/04 "Children come trailing clouds of glory from God, which is their home." ~ William Wordsworth |

Leslie, sounds like a great idea. I have always wanted to try WW because
it sounds like a really reasonable way to lose weight. Thanks! Wendy |

It is like the body is storing it for fuel. Of course, water retention may be a huge issue as well. |

I don't feel so bad about putting on weight right now because I KNOW I can take it off again with WW.
