How much weight did you gain when you were pregnant? Did you lose it all?

I gained 40 pounds when I was pregnant. This is a little more than the recomended 25-35 pounds, but I was small to begin with. I lost it all within 6 months and weigh even less now than when I got pregnant. I'm curious about how much weight other people gained and how long it took to lose it.

I gained WAY too much with my girls. About 55-60 with each of them. I only gained about 40 with my son. But I had no trouble losing it afterwards. I just wouldn't recommend gaining that much if you don't want to live with all the stretch marks afterwards, lol.

I gained 50 pounds during each pregnancy. I was pregnant 3 times, that's a total of 150 pounds gained and lost. Yes, I lost all weight in between pregnancies. My children are 5 years apart. It is not so much how much weight one gains, as why they gain it, and in how much time. Also, it is worse to gain too little weight.

When my wife got pregnant, I put on 15 pounds (I didn't want her to eat alone). After 2 years, I finally lost all of it.
