Boy moms and weight POLL

I voted for the one that is 126 at the low end. I am usually around 125-130 but I gain a bit before I ttc. I am 5' 9" tall.

 I was 123lbs. before I got pregnant. I'm only 5' 2. I lost a lot of weight because I was sick for 8 weeks straight and still have no appetite. I got down to 115lbs. and now weigh 121. I'm 19 weeks today.

 RingosDrum...I am finding these results very interesting!!

I was between 185 and 210 for an average between all the three of them so I voted 202-216. First I started out around 185. 2nd about 205 and 3rd about 212.

I am 5ft 6 and I think I was between 103-105 lbs when I conceived DS.

 I think the results are intersting-The majority of the woman who conceived boys were at very healthy and fit weights, slim but but very thin.

Backs the theory that good nutrition and fitness =boy!

I was about 123 lbs when I got pregnant with DS....BUT I had gained about 10lbs in the few months leading up to that.  Supposedly it doesn't matter what weight you start out with, if you gain weight, that will sway towards a boy. 

wow this is very interesting..I think the boy diet is not healthy! I am eating way more unhealthy then with my 3 DD'S with my last DD I was in the best shape(5'6 127)...of course I was drinking crystal light like it was going out of style And I gain ALOT while being preggo too!

 I put 111-125 but it's not completely accurate, because the 126-144 could have worked too...I maintained my weight around 120-130 constantly after my DD. Not doing anything, it just shifted up and down a lot in that region. Mostly 125, though.

Compared to my weight and health when I "oops" concieved my DD through pullout in a different relationship, I was a constant 120lbs with her. Never less, never more. I rarely ate (maybe 1 time a day, if that, maybe an actual "meal" 3-4 times a week) and consumed 7ish sodas a day, ate junk food. I was no-where near "ideal" and it was sickening. Since finding out my pregnancy with my DD, I've eaten a lot healthier (although probably still not ideal, but it's not all junk and I eat more often -like twice a day, sometimes 3 times).

Maybe you should rewrite this poll to ask the BMI when conceiving boys?... cos at everyone's different height, the "heft" will differ. For someone who's 5'2", 130# is chunky, while it would look anorexic on someone at 6'0". BMI would make it a bit more accurate.

But for what it's worth, I'm 6 foot, and weigh currently 155#, up from 143#. I hope the weight gain landed me a boy. We shall see.

 I am 5'5" when I got pregnant with ds1 I was 115, ds2 I was 124 and ds3 I was 118.  I am 110 right now.

I thought about that, but I figured a lot of people didn't know their BMI without calculating it. You should start a new poll with BMI since they could calculate it on some website I am sure. That would be more accurate. BTW, I love your avatar!

Thanks! 5 min in photoshop. I think this is what Ima print on a card to send to me mom via post as the announcement. She'll sh*t a brick. lol

Ok then, I will make a BMI poll. I'm curious about the results!

 I was around 117.
