Has anyone lost weight or become more healthy since becoming pregnant!?

Question

I am well aware that I was overweight before I got pregnant. I've always struggled with my weight. I wasn't working out as much as I needed to and I was eating like crap. On top of that I was taking a few medications that made it difficult to lose weight. I also retained a lot of water.

I decided when I got pregnant to start eating healthier. My doctor only wants me to gain 10-15 pounds during my entire pregnancy. I started my pregnancy at 205. Right now I am weighing in just under that at 23 weeks.  I've had a few people tell me that I look more toned up now than I did before I got pregnant so I found an old photo to compare the two. The top photos are from about 2 months before I got pregnant and the bottom three are from today.

I'm so glad that I continued my membership at my Crossfit gym once I found out that I was having my little girl. It hasn't been easy and I've had to modify a lot of my workouts, but I guess my hard work is paying off.

Answer

I've actually lost 50 lbs since becoming pregnant (and I have it to lose) and I'm much healthier! although I'm left with some consequences of rapid weightloss but that can be dealt with in time I guess.

Answer

I got pregnant at 200lbs. Am 37 weeks along and only weigh 213. My doc is very pleased and so am I. Hoping to drop 30lbs after baby gets here.

Answer

You're doing great!!

Answer

My sister was the same way through pregnancy. She only gained 8lbs. And 7 of that was the baby alone!! Way to go! As long as doctor isn't worried than I wouldn't be worried. Have a happy healthy pregnancy!

Answer

Answer

I lost 20 lbs out the bricks. Still haven't gained any. Don't want to exercise and lose more. But this shortness of breath is kicking my ask. Hopefully next week at my appointment the doctor will say I am finally gaining. Or at least not losing. I was 200. Now I'm 180.

Answer

I started at about 200 pounds before I got pregnant, I lost about 30 pounds because of morning sickness. I still haven't gained more than 5 pounds since the morning sickness has stopped. I feel fortunate to have lost all that weight. My doctor said that she doesn't want me gaining more than 20lbs during the pregnancy. So I guess since I'm technically down 25 I'm doing alright. 
On the other hand, I've heard that your body craves certain things and will gain or lose weight in different ways through out your pregnancy. I'm sure that some people no matter how hard to gain they can't, and some people who work hard to lose or maintain they can't. I'm sure it just depends on your body.

Answer

Yes! when I got pregnant I started out at 200 and now I weigh 193. I've been trying to eat healthy ever since before I've gotten pregnant but I really started once I found out I was pregnant knowing that they wouldn't want me to gain more that 15 lbs. I'll be 17 weeks on Sunday and have yet to gain anything.

Answer

You look great!  Before I got pregnant I was 228. I lost weight by working out and eating good. I started my pregnancy  at 211 and then went to 214. Then I dropped to 207. Mine is caused by not be able to eat from severe nausea. I am on some meds now and i have been eating more. I am hoping to stay healthy by eating right and continue to do water aerobics. As long as the baby is healthy that is all I really care about. 
Lots of luck to you!!!
