Pregnancy= Weight Loss?

I went to the docs today because I had been feeling so miserable. Turns out my sinuses are out of control and she thinks everything else is pregnancy related. Good to know. I stepped on the scale....and wowza! I lost 5 lbs in 9 days! I had noooo idea because my clothes definitely dont feel that way! I am also really overweight and she told me to enjoy the pregnancy and eat what I want. LOL idk about that but I like the weight loss! Thanks for the well wishes this morning, ladies.

Re: Pregnancy= Weight Loss?

  • Pregnancy does all kinds of interesting stuff to your body.  When I was pregnant with DS, I only gained (please no one hit me) 15 pounds.  And honestly, I ate what I wanted when I wanted it.  I have a history of eating issues and I think for me it was just that I stopped focusing on food in the way I always had before and used it more as fuel.

    Now, if only I could get that to carry through to times when I am not pregnant . . .

  • I hope I have the same kind of pregnancy as you!!  I stepped on the scale last night and WOWZA in the OPPOSITE way.  I am actually hoping that since I've started eating really healthy now that I'm pregnant I will actually drop some weight during first tri before the gaining starts, not intentionally but I could see that happening just from the diet change.

    Congrats though, that is pretty awesome! Enjoy the loss because it may be a distant memory a few months from now lol

  • When I was pg with ds, I lost 15 lbs in my 1st tri cause I was so sick all the time. Then I gained it all back and put on an additional 35 lbs by the end of the pregnancy.
  • I lost 6 lbs the 1st week but have since put in all back on :)
  • My gf is 14 weeks and has lost 17 pounds while pregnant.  I have been eating everything in sight so I'll probably take on her 17 pounds and then some.
