I finally broke a barrier I said I never would. I am officially over the 200 pound mark. I cant believe it. I am a tall girl (5'9) so I carry it fairly well but I made a promise to myself that I would never reach that weight and I am only 27 weeks pregnant. What does that say for the future? ahhhhh.

Re: I am a fat fatty fatso :-(
Don't worry, it will come off - I am 5'6", was a "normal" weight before DD and gained 40 lbs!!!! Breastfeeding, lots of walks with baby and later jogging with her, and it all came off. I'm on track to gain the same amount this time and not thrilled about it (this baby LOVES chocolate!!) but am committed to working hard to get it off again. Cut yourself a break, you're growing a HUMAN And I'm sure you look beautiful.
I also passed the 200 mark w/my last pregnancy & probably will reach it again this time. It's hard to see those numbers on the scale, but remember that most of that weight is baby related (increased blood volume, amniotic fluid, placenta, milk & fat stores &, of course, a growing baby).
Like the PP said, you'll be amazed how quickly most of that weight comes off. While BFing DS, I dropped below my pre-preg weight, a 40+ lb loss, w/in 6 months.
ah that is very good to hear as I plan to breast feed! :-)
I almost wish the doctor had just lied to me and let me face the music when I am not so hormonal. couldn't he just say 195 and holding? lol
Don't beat yourself up at all....i too am a tall girl (5'11) and im at 195 right now at 20 weeks
When i gave birth to my son i weighed 225 at the hospital, a week after birth i weighed 197.....so most came off before i even thought about eating right or exercising and i didnt breastfeed.
Stick with it, eat healthy and you will do fine. The better food yo ueat, the easier it comes off. Lean meats and veggies.
