@Kendra - I've eaten whatever I want for the most part too (including a large over indulgence on EVERYTHING the other day). So far since CD1 (Start of my LMP) I've dropped 9.3 pounds.
For everyone else who is watching what they eat/weight gain because of doctors orders:
I got WIC because OH lost a lot of hours and we can use the help through the winter. Through both WIC and my doctors I've been told that for us bigger girls (more than average weight) you'll be asked to gain only between 15 and 25 pounds and for some between 11 and 20 depending on your weight. They state that in your first trimester you should gain just a few pounds if ANY. They even say that if you're eating enough and a balanced diet that some weight loss (if you're not trying) is okay and can be beneficial. I've been eating more than enough calories on a daily basis but Bean seems to have set my metabolism on fire. Instead of the average persons "1 pound per week" gain in the last 6 months, they say to gain 1/2 pound per week. If some weeks you gain more, and others less, that's okay as long as it balances out.
I'm not concerned about losing the weight after, I'm just concerned about having a healthy pregnancy. Too much weight gain can be bad, more so when you're already big. It can increase the risks of: preterm labor, gestational diabetes, hypertension (which can lead to preeclampsia), and a larger baby that may be too large to deliver vaginally. It can also lead to post c-section complications as well, and trouble with breastfeeding. If your doctor isn't worried so much about it, don't go overboard, but don't worry too much. Your baby doesn't like the stress.
Now, after all of that... I've been to the doctors for 3 ultrasounds I've been weighed at each and they haven't said anything to me. I know how much I weigh and I've kept it in check so far. They like that. They also send all of us to an early pregnancy class. Where you learn about everything first trimester (and some second and third) including weight gain and what not. My blood pressure is always high when I first go in and then drops considerably while I'm there, they'll be keeping a closer eye on me but they're not worried about it for now (because it's a false high).
At our early pregnancy class we had to fill in a paper regarding what we had eaten the day before ("not what you think you've kept down")... They say that in the first trimester they're happy that you're eating. And, though no one keeps a food diary they gave us suggestions for eating a bit more balanced... they encourage not completely cutting yourself off from what you really want (chocolate, yum!) but not over induldging on a daily basis.
I'm too lazy to scan the paper so I'll just type it up on here (which actually seems like more work).
--This is from Kaiser--
Bread, cereal, rice (grains): 1st tri - servings daily; 2nd & 3rd tri 8 servings daily
**1 slice of bread, 1 tortilla, 3/4 c dry cereal, 1/2 c hot cereal, 1/2 c cooked rice/noodles/pasta, 8 crackers**
Vegetables: 3 cups daily
**1 c raw cabbage or leafy veggies, 1 c green salad, 1/2 c other veggies (cooked/raw), 3/4 c vegetable juice**
Fruit: 2 cups daily
**1 medium fresh fruit, 1/2 c chooped/cooked/canned fruit, 3/4 c fruit juice**
Dairy: 3 cups daily
**1 c low or non-fat milk/yogurt, 1.5 oz cheese, 2 c cottage cheese**
Protein: Meat/poultry/fish/beans/eggs: 6 servings daily
** 3 oz cooked lean meat/poultry/fish, 1 c cooked dry beans or tofu, 2 eggs, 4 T peanut butter** - it's so easy to take in more protein, which isn't bad! --
And, remember that 2-3 servings of dairy comes out to be 1 serving of protein. If you've been told to watch your weight closely, "double dipping" in food groups can help save you those calories if you wish.
Since being pregnant I haven't been much of a veggie eater, the smell and texture of them make me a little nauseated, they say that's fine for now (I can eat them in a meal that's like a one-pot-meal where they aren't as potent). I have no problems with the other food groups. I was really good about watching what I eat before I got pregnant (trying to deal with the PCOS) but I've been super lax with it since. I ate way too much the other day, but that's fine. I don't do that every day.
My prepregnancy weight on 9/2 was 285. I didn't weigh myself until week 4: I was -5.1.
So far my weight has done this.
Week 1: 285
Week 4: -5.1
Week 6: -5.3
Week 7: -4.8 (I gained half a pound)
Week 8: -5.7
Week 9: -8.9 (not sure how that happened!)
Week 10: -8.9
Week 11: -9.3 (current weight 275.7)
I'll be 12 weeks on Friday... I'm not good about weighing myself on the same day every week but I get in a weight once a week.
I have an application on my phone that lets me keep track and also keeps track of my pregnancy.
I am thinking if it is another boy (I have three sons) then I just will do the usual and text/fb people. If it is a girl (i'll be shouting from the roof tops!!llol) I was thinking of getting a super girlie outfit and having my mom unwrap it like a present. IDK. I still have plenty of time to figure it out 
I just don't want the people on here worrying about their weight to take it too far. I will try to keep my weight gain in the range, but I won't stress out about it either.
