Answer 1

My weight before pregnancy was 105 lbs.

During my pregnancy I gained 40 lbs. Then I had baby and lost 20 lbs. immediately following the birth.

I am 11 months post partum and have just started losing the other 20 lbs...but I honestly wasn't really trying to until now.

Giant hilarious roar from me on your nickname!!! Make up a t-shirt!

Just in the spirit of diversity, I'll answer the weight gain thing so other big women know there are differences.

I was totally hugely obese when I got pregnant. I have PCOS, so it was amazing I got pregnant at all, with no meds or tech help.

However, under the care of my primary doc and a specialist - I actually lost weight throughout the first two trimesters, simply because I quit the junk food, began eating healthily and exercising more.

Overall, I gained five pounds, which is about what an obese women should gain. My healthy son was 8 pounds, 3 ounces, and the day after he was born they weighed me and I had lost 13 pounds. So there I was, back where I started!

Hope no one is offended that I answered this question. Sorry if you are.
