30 Pound Mark

I'm not even trying to lose weight right now, due to being 18 weeks pregnant, but since my appetite changed so dramatically during the first trimester, and even in the second trimester, my body is continuing to lose weight from before I got pregnant. It's seems pretty odd, because I can tell my tummy is growing, but every time I go on the scale I weigh less. It worries me sometimes, but at the same time I am happy as well, since I was so afraid I would gain a zillion pounds when I got pregnant. I spoke to my doctor about it and he said not to worry because the baby is growing fine. So I'm focusing on the positive side. It will be a heck of a lot easier losing weight after the baby comes!

Weight Loss Statistics:
Lost before Pregnancy- 18 pounds (lost 20, gained 2 back)
Lost during Pregnancy- 12 pounds
Total Weight Lost- 30 pounds
My Original Goal- 85 pounds
Pounds to Go-55 pounds

I suspect to gain weight as my pregnant belly continues to expand, but I'm hopeful that whatever I gain will be easier to come off, since I'm already at a good start. We'll see. It's not my number one priority right now, since I need to eat enough to keep my body and Chili Pepper happy.
