Is it possible to gain 7 pounds in 3 weeks?

AMYfromKY · August 2009

The answer is YES. I can't believe I actually gained that much in such a short amount of time. Yes, I am a tiny bit swollen, but not 7 pounds swollen. I am not constipated either so I can't blame it on that.

I can blame my love of 5 meat pizza, chocolate milk, and french fries though.

Looks like the next 8 weeks will be full of fruits, veggies, and lean proteins.

Oh I gained 8lbs in 4 wks and got the side eye from the nurse!

There will always be a big jump somewhere! Don't sweat it!

I'd think so. I had gained nothing til 20 weeks, then 8lbs between my 20 wk appt and my 24 wk appt.

Indifferent

You can have my current aversion to meat! That'll help melt the pounds!

6lbs in 2 weeks is my record

I put on 9 pounds in 3 weeks about a month ago! Thankfully, it has slowed down quite a bit. I only gained two pounds in the 4 weeks since then.

I blame my 9 pounds on my love of Snickers.

Yes, I couldn't believe it!! At my last appointment, I had gained 7 pounds. The appointment before, only 1 pound! It works out to 8 pounds in 8 weeks, but still... yikes!

Yup. Me too. That was not a fun weigh-in. But dr still wasn't concerned. Whew. ?

I gained 8 in 6 weeks and then swore off my daily ice cream and two weeks later I lost .4 of a pound! Today is my next weigh in.........wonder what the verdict will be.

I gained 10 in a week so it is definitely possible.

Me three. That's when I decided to stop looking at the number on the scale and let the doctor worry about my weight!

in the early stages i gained all my weight, once 8lbs in 4 weeks. now i'm losing weight/haven't gained anything in over 6 weeks. it'll balance out... hopefully
