Hi all! I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy, so "ongoing weight loss" is on hold. I'm still gaining but not too much, which is a good thing. (Did you catch that huge sigh of relief? LOL)
Thus far, I've gained — from the weight I was at conception to now — only 17.2 lbs. However, from my "lowest recorded weight" that occurred at the 2-month pregnancy mark, I've gained back the lbs lost in those first two months for a total weight gain during pregnancy of 23.6 lbs. Again, not bad, considering I have only 2 1/2 to 3 months left to go.
The uncomfortable part is that ALL of the weight is centrally located in my belly! I'm feeling really S--T--R--E--T--C--H--E--D right now! LOL Which means this 20+ lbs, I'm surprised to say, is sometimes harder to deal with than the 58 lbs I used to carry around on my frame when I was at 203 lbs. I never thought I'd say that, but I guess it's like the difference between wearing a 60 lb weight suit close to the body versus carrying a 25 lb barbell at arm's length.
I'm sure this May, it'll all be worth every moment though! :)
