thanks everyone! a little. not as much as some people might notice. im so tall so losing weight (and gaining thank goodness!) doesnt necessarily show up as fast. but i have noticed, yes a little looser and less muffin top only about 30 more lbs to go :0

funny - i think i am finding all of the weight you're losing! we're heading in opposite directions. i know, i am supposed to be, but i think i am ahead of schedule.

 

and have fun in PV!

dont worry too much about your weight gain. listen to your dr. i gained 60 lbs with the first one and 27 with the second. my second dr threatened me within an inch of my life about my weight every time i went. probably because of the weight gain with the first one and the fact he was almost 10 lbs. he just didnt want me developing the problems that can come along with a lot of weight gain and a bigger baby.

 

wanna hear the worst thing though....when i started weight watchers i weighed 1 lb MORE....yes....MORE than i when i was 9 mos. pregnant with my 10 lb baby - blech!!!

 

youre pretty active and healthy. youll be fine. just watch your diabetes stuff. do you have special appoints for that while youre pregnant?

 

and of course some of my motivation is we want to have a baby and I AM NOT gaining 30 lbs in top of where i am and breaking the 200s while pregnant!!!

my doc hasn't said anything about the weight yet - so she must not be too worried! I think I was probably up about 7-10 lbs at my 12 week appt. But hell, that was Jan 4th - right after the holidays! Not fair.

i can't believe that - you are still small. you talk like you're some huge whale, and you're not! but i also know how hard it is to adjust to a new size, whatever that size is. if you're not used to it - it's hard.

i do have lots of doc appts for the diabetes. my doc there is seeing me once per month. plus he has me seeing a dietician/nutritionist (awful spelling, i know) pretty often too (annoying!). so i am definitely being monitored!

i told paul i want him to gain weight ... i DO NOT want to pass him up, and i definitely could!

well thanks ann. with both kids i seemed to have gained 10 lbs right off the bat before i even realized i was pregnant!!! definately within 8 weeks. so with that second one i only gained another 17 lbs the other 7 mos.

 

yeah i hear what youre saying about passing the hubby. down these 10 lbs now i know i weigh less than ryan does again - thank goodness! i want to get back into all that sexy stuff you wore at your chicago shoot that fit me at one time!
