My goal isn't to loose weight trust me. LOL. I just happen to be. As long as baby is gaining weight that's all I care about. I have a history of preterm labor so I try to make sure baby is getting fat. If I gain that's fine, but I wanna keep it at no more than 20lbs. LOL. I have about 17 weeks left!!

I am not trying to point you out in particular but when I asked my doctor if I had to gain weight (I weighed 165), he looked at me like I was a horrible person. So now I feel I have to gain weight, when in reality... maybe I didnt?

Some of that is bloat and water weight. With my first I gained 63 pounds, so I understand your worries. I was determined not to gain that much with my second. I watched what I ate, how much I ate, walked and did stairs, and swam a lot. I eat pretty good, I just have my moments. With my second I ended up gaining a total of 25 pounds. I was much happier with that!!
  Now I'm pregnant with number 3 and didn't loose all the weight... So I'm trying hard not to gain too much or too much too fast. I'm 20 weeks and so far I'm down 5 pounds from when I found out I was pregnant.
