I saw someone on Reddit ask - what was your most memorable weigh in? I thought I'd share mine, as I've never felt heavier!

I knew I'd put on quite a lot of weight when I was pregnant. I lost maybe 20lbs in the year or so before we started trying, and tbh the trying only really got serious after I gained most of that back. I kept up the new habits while I was pregnant, and added some. Eating carbs again turned into eating industrial quantities of chocolate biscuits, etc. I also had a skin infection on my foot that laid me up for a couple of weeks. I knew I'd gained the recommended 25-30lbs after I hit 5 or 6 months, and kinda shied away from the scale after that for a bit. After I hit the 8 month mark, I thought I'd better weigh myself. Was just at home, in the comfort of my own bathroom. It was a fairly hot day, so I was wearing some maternity shorts that were on the small side, and a light t-shirt that was pretty tight around the bump. The scales flashed up 14st 4lbs. I felt mortified - I'd barely ever been over 11st before I got pregnant, this felt huge! Even worse when I realised that converts to 200lbs, bang on. 50lbs up from when I got pregnant, and still a few weeks off the due date!

I felt huge, I knew I was kinda chubby at that point but seeing such a big number was a shock! Not like I changed any of my habits at that point though - even took chocolate in the hospital bag!
