Weight Loss During Pregnancy

I am 21 weeks pregnant today. My pre-pregnancy weight was 278 and my current weight as of July 10th is 244. I have been eating 3-4 times more than I used to and walk almost everyday. My ob says my baby boy is growing at a healthy rate despite my weight loss so he is not too worried about my it. Are there any other mommy to bes or mothers who have also lost weight during their pregnancy?

My bf says my baby bump stands out more and I look amazing with my baby bump. So I guess thats is one possitive thing. I have deffinately become more comfortable in with my body since I found out.

Don't worry. As long as baby is growing normal, consider yourself lucky! I'm 29 weeks and lost 15 lbs. just recently starting gaining barely any weight. I eat normal and healthy and also walk a lot. Our metabolism is on overdrive :)

This is letterally the first time I have been able to lose weight in the past 4 years since I was 15. It feels good but it still worries me a little.

I was 206 before I got pregnant now I'm between 211-212 but I'll lose like 2-3 pounds for a few weeks but then I'll gain it right back...it's pretty normal to have your weight go up and down
