I lost weight in the first few months too, but my appetite was a bit off. I wouldn't say that it's abnormal since I've seen a lot of posters on here with the same comment. Has your doctor shown any concern?

I've lost almost 15 lbs. because of severe m/s and my doc doesn't seem to be worried, he just said to try to snack and eat more.

I'm just 19 weeks and am still down 2 pounds from my PP weight.  At my lowest I had lost 6 total.  From what I've seen women vary greatly on how much weight they gain and when it starts, so as long as your OB isn't concerned and you're eating well, I wouldn't worry.

thank you! i saw my ob 2 1/2 wks ago, and she wasnt concerned, but everyone else seems to be. maybe i need to quit listening to everyone else....they are making me crazy!

I lost 8 lbs and have only gained 1 of it back. It's pretty normal to lose weight/not gain any in your first trimester. I wouldn't worry too much about it right now.

I haven't gained any.  I'm plus size, so hoping not to gain much.  I know bigger women often lose all the way through.

I havent gained any weight yet either.. and am actually down a few pounds from my pre-pg weight. I've gotten sick several times.. but I actually think the reason I havent gained any weight is because I've drastically cut out sugar (I just havent wanted it like I used to!) and I eat more healthy snacks. I'm 5'3 and 120lbs.. so.. pretty average built.

I lost 3 or 4 pounds in the 1st trimester too, and wasn't sick AT ALL. I think it's pretty normal.

I'm pretty petite and have lost 20lbs total (only 10 or so could I really afford)....I'm now 16 weeks and still down 20 lbs, the scale said this morning I'd lost another 1/2 lb.  My whole body shape has changed, so I know baby is fine.  I now have no butt, legs, arms, etc....just a belly.  Nothing fits thanks to this wonderful shift in weight!  I go to the doc on Thrusday, and I'm curious to see what they say about weight since I'll be 17 weeks by then and gained 0.  I think I've only lost about ~3 lbs this month though,  much better than the 1/2 lb I was losing every other day in the first trimester.  My sister is 5 weeks ahead of me and has put on 25 lbs....if you saw us next to one another you would never guess I was pregnant and you'd think she was closer to 7 or 8 months.   Everyone is just different.
