How much did Lucille Ball weigh when she was pregnant. She looked very heavy, despite the unflatteing maternity clothes she wore. I think she was close to 200 lbs.

Geez, since March, that is the most original question i've ever heard, and one of the few i dun't know the answer to, it's always said that she got big as an elephant but i dun't recall them ever mentioning a specific weight!

Actually she only weighed around 150 when she was pregnant. It is said that smaller women tend to blow up like balloons when they're pregnant. Who knows?

SPLAIN · 10-16-2002, 03:16 PM

Gee thanks Mel, never knew that!

Wow...makes some sense though. My mom weighed like 100 pounds before she got pregnant and gained like 30 pregnant.

I think it is 153.

lucyfan1983 · 10-17-2002, 11:02 PM

why do you think that it is 153? did you read it somewhere?

I'm not sure...I think I asked it on another board a long time ago.

153 isn't very much, in an episode of the show she said she was
132 and she wasn't even pregnant. My guess is that she was
about 180lbs or so.

I think you were talking about the episode The Diet, which they said she was 132. But just because that was Lucy Ricardo's weight, it doesn't mean it was her weight in real life. But who knows.

akirafan · 10-25-2002, 08:43 PM

So how much would be your guess, Ricardos4Ever?

dawsongirl · 10-25-2002, 09:30 PM

Is it just me, or did she look a lot heavier than 132 in that episode? I'm guessing remaining baby weight was the culprit.

akirafan · 10-25-2002, 09:47 PM

You're probably right, she looked heavier than Ethel in that episode. Probably 140lbs.

lucyfan1983 · 10-25-2002, 10:13 PM

i always thought it was just padding, b/c she seemed pretty slimmed down during the cuban pete/sally sweet number at the end.

ricardo/mertz · 10-26-2002, 01:02 AM

I don't think her arms and legs looked that heavy. Those maternity "tents" she wore were not too flattering. She was all baby.
