  I haven't lost any weight, but my doc did want me to gain more than I had at my last appt.  And in the 2 weeks since I have managed to gain 5 of the 10 lbs she wants to see at my 16 week appt.  I've been eating bigger meals and I continue to snack in between.  Things higher in fat will help you pack on some pounds. Try ice cream and fast food a couple times a week. I'm reading a book on being pregnant with multiples and it says it's perfectly fine to do that!  (I realize you aren't carrying multiples, but if you're not gaining weight, I wouldn't see why it wouldn't be okay for you as well!)

  Since my 1st appointment ivge lost about 15 pounds, the dr isnt alarmed and im not either. She said the baby is doing great and has plenty to feed on. She also said that I will start to pick up more weight as the 2nd tri goes on through the end of the 3rd. I have noticed my appetite has picked up this week, ive been eating two lunches since Monday.. ) good luck.

  Are those of you who are losing all of this weight overweight to start with.  I am just curious because I couldn't even imagine losing that much weight now?

  This is what I was wondering. I didn't want to be rude by asking. But honestly, if I lost that much weight now, I'd be borderline anorexic. But as long as your baby is fine and your dr isn't worried then I guess I wouldnt be concerned either.

  I'm 5'3, my starting weight was 147 & I'm down 4lbs.  I asked my doctor about it today at my appointment & he isn't concerned.  He said the baby is doing great (got out see our little munchkin again today) & that my weight is fine.  He said I should start to pick up weight after 20wks.  I feel like I should gain at least a few pounds, but if he's not worried, then I won't stress myself too much.

  I haven't lost anything with this one, my weight gain is on the lower side but still normal.  But with my son I lost close to 20 lbs.  He ended up weighing 8lb 6oz and was perfectly healthy.  My doctor was never overly concerned.  Just try increasing you high calorie foods.  And of course add more of the good fats.  If you don't start picking up weight soon you might ask them about sending you to a nutritionist.

  I am 20-25 pounds over weight, I have lost 12 pounds, my doctor said everything looks great, no worries there, just that I should try to gain 5 pounds by the end of my 2nd tri, and that I should also start drinking ensure to make sure baby is getting the vitamins it needs, but only until doc sees that Im begining to gain.

  I was 124 lbs pre-BFP and have since lost 18 lbs (now gained 2 back) so my total weight loss is still down 16 lbs.  I was really concerned, but none of my doctors are.  Thanks to zofran I'm eating and keeping food down, so I don't know why I haven't really gained anything back, but no one else is worried.  They all kept telling me Id catch up in my second trimester, but nothing yet. 

  I guess I'm not going to worry since no one else is.  But if you're still concerned I'd sit down with your doctor and see if you can't come up with a solution.

  Thanks ladies, thats good to know that I am not the only one. I am 5'5, and weighed about 147 right before BFP, and now I am about 127. At least I know I am not the only one, my appetite has picked up a little this past week, but its still not where it used to be.

  I'm down 12lbs still and have not gained one of them back yet. I was carrying extra weight before I got pregnant though and so far the doctor said it's ok. We'll see what she says next week at my 17 week appt. though if I haven't gained.
