This thread JUST. WONT. DIE.

18 pounds

25+1 with twins

That number should probably be higher but I've really cut back on alcohol lately so I'm not getting as many empty calories as I was previously. Also, the smoking is helping to keep my weight down.

I've heard if you REALLY want to drop the weight, meth is the way to go. Because really, who needs teeth??

I didn't bold it. Yes I have bad self images about myself but that's y before I got pregnant I was all about being healthy. I didn't mean anything by calling myself a fatty at 140 lbs. I've gained a lot of weight in the past an I don't carry it well. I know that the weight I gain now I'm suppose to gain to make sure my baby is healthy. @AKPuffin

@Meandthey. So I think it's safe to say that at some point in their lives most women have had some sort of body image issue. That being said, most of us here seem to care enough about the others to realize that posting a number and then attaching the word "fatty" to said number is terribly insensitive. There are lots of women who are quite healthy at 140 so your comment about "getting healthy before getting KU" is yet another slap in the face to those of us who were also healthy before our BFP and weighed your magical "fatty" number. You should just stop responding. ETA: edit to tag

::trying so hard to be good. Must not respond. Must not climb on soapbox. Don't do it don't do it don't do it::

ARGH!! I can't help it! Must speak!!! I so so so hate posts like this. I can't think of a single instances under which they would be created for a positive, supportive, intelligent reasons. I think they lead to things like this: https://www.cnn.com/2013/11/20/living/pregnant-dieting-pregorexia-moms/ And give us as women another way to feel good about ourselves by putting down other women. I think it contributes to self esteem issues and body image problems / dysmorphia.

There are probably some wonderful, amazing, strong women out there who aren't struggling a bit with their changing body shape a weight, but I'm not sure I believe it's the majority. Posts like this encourage us to compare ourselves to one another in a completely irrelevant way. This isn't apples to apples. Or even apples or oranges. This is apples to doorknobs.

::sighs and somewhat sheepishly climbs down off soapbox::

24 weeks and have gained 13 lbs.

mah0113 · November 2013

why are people so defensive about this post? if you dont want to discuss your weight gain, you can just not respond to the thread. really, nobody is holding a gun to your head. and more importantly, it was abundantly clear from the title of this post what its about---so why did you click? just to piss and moan?

to answer OP, I am 22w3d and have gained 14 pounds. I seem more worried than my doctor..I started out very overweight and she told me to gain between 20 and 25...a little anxious that i have already passed the half way mark and not even at the "gain a pound a week" point yet. But hopefully I can ease up on the chocolate and slow things down.

My boobs have never been this big, I'm loving it and so is hubby.

Miliska · November 2013

This is the first time I got through a weight gain post and that really just made me sad about how much weight I've gain so far. I'm 23w1d and I gain 20lb, and I think I'm just going to go away and cry and eat a homemade chocolat chip cookie.

*Must remember I'm pregnant and I should not to open these weight posts again!!*

SassyFlats · November 2013

@miliska that makes ME sad! I hate that about these posts.... that they make people feel bad. 20lbs is not crazy for this point! Everyone is different, and as long as you're eating (mostly) healthy and trying to get some activity in, please try not to worry.

Yeah... I fully understand everybody's different, but I can't help to ''compare''. I should know better, since I know I eat healthy and I know I will lose the weight after the baby is born, but old weight struggles are coming back to my mind when I see posts like this. I'm definitvely not opening weight posts again! lol

Every time I see this thread pop up all I can think is:

This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends, OP posted it not knowing what it was, and it'll keep on going til forever just because this is the thread that never ends....

AriaAmante143 · November 2013

I wish mods had a way to lock threads. OP was either a drive by or a troll that had no desire to share her weight or actually discuss anything. It's a dead thread, except to the people who only read the OP and reply.

Take away our fun

Hey I've been on here enough I think you know I'm always down for fun! I just think this thread has lost its fun potential. I need someone else to ask to guess the sex of their baby, or if Riylyeeeeeee is an appropriate name for their daughter.
