I dont think u should focus on losing weight. Just eat healthier. Im 5'4 28w n i just turned 299lbs. I gained about 15 pounds so far this pregnancy. I do try to eat healthy no matter what some weight will come from the baby. My focus is a healthy baby n after ill worry about losing weight. And even though they consider me over weight i dont look that big and me and baby are in great health.

I was 235 pre pregnancy weight and I'm 5ft so I'm very over weight and in the beginning yes I did loose some weight and was eating right but right now being 36 wks  I honestly just don't care if I loose or gain..I still eat right but I'm not afraid to eat my oreos in the middle of the night or to eat a big slice of chocolate cake..my baby is healthy and besides being overweight I'm healthy and thats all that matters

I was 245 pre-pregnancy and 5'4". I am 22 weeks and down 20lbs. :) I'm hoping to keep it up so I weigh less after birth than I did before pregnancy.

I was 230 pre pregnancy and im 5'9, i had horrendous morning sickness from 7 weeks until 22 weeks, and I ended up losing 17 pounds. And after I got over the morning sickness I gained 3 back. My doctor said as long as I dont gain over 15-20 pounds I will be fine. I wouldn't worry about it to much unless you are rapidly gaining weight.
