This will be my pregnancy accountability thread to keep myself on the straight and narrow over the next nine months.

I'd like to end this pregnancy at the same weight I started -- as I'm obese with a BMI of 32, this should be possible without harming the baby's growth. I'd be happy, though, if I gained a maximum of 15lbs.

So here we go.

4 Weeks: 182.4 (blaming the rapidly expanding BBs!)

5 weeks now, and my weight goes up and down by a couple of pounds a day. I blame the bloat this time.

4 Weeks: 182.4 (blaming the rapidly expanding BBs!)
5 Weeks: 181.4 (still higher than when I started)

[Crow]

6 weeks and I just hope it's fluid retention!

4 Weeks: 182.4 (blaming the rapidly expanding BBs!)
5 Weeks: 181.4 (still higher than when I started)
6 Weeks: 185.3 (what?!!)

That definitely seems like fluid retention to me - there's tons of fluid gains/drops in pregnancy, some of mine have been pretty dramatic!

Thanks! I want to keep myself accountable without being stupid, but so far it's all going the wrong direction.

[Crow]

A bit better, but I'll need to work hard to get my weight gain under control.

4 Weeks: 182.4 (blaming the rapidly expanding BBs!)
5 Weeks: 181.4 (still higher than when I started)
6 Weeks: 185.3 (what?!!)
7 Weeks: 184.6

And no more baby, so looks like I'm back on the treadmill.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Crow. Best of luck with your weight loss efforts <3 Go easy on yourself while you heal physically and emotionally.
