If you don't mind sharing, of course! How long did it take you to lose the baby weight, and how much did you gain during pregnancy?
-
I gained 33 and I lost all of it at 6 weeks pp. I wanted to tone up but I never got around to it!
-
I gained 35 lbs and lost it by 12 wks pp
-
I gained 18 and lost it by my 6 week appt. I was up 5-10lbs when I got pregnant. I think I lost that too by 12 weeks.
-
gained 60lbs (pre-e at the end nearly doubled my weight from 36 weeks to 40 weeks when I was induced)
Couldn't lose the last 10lbs until DS weaned to 2 feedings per day at 9.5 months.
Lost the first 50 by 10-12 weeks. -
I gained 23 and lost 32 at two weeks pp. Still have 17 to lose for pre-TTC/wedding weight. Things are definitely flabbier than I remember them being.
-
Lost the first 40 in two weeks, the final 10-15 isn't budging. I'm 3.5 months PP
-
@rachiecakes: Holler for pre-e. I gained 40 lbs in the last three months.
-
Gained 32lbs, was down 24 at my 6wk pp check up. Don't know how long it took me to lose the rest, but I was back to pp weight by 14wks pp (may have been there for a while).
-
Gained 20, down 20 two days PP, down 40 now (3.5 months PP). 7 pounds to go until my drivers license weight!
-
Gained 55, still have 10 to go 7 months PP. But my issue isn't the weight, it's that it's all in my belly and so flabby! Ugh.
-
Gained about 28 or 30 lbs... Lost all of the weight by 6 weeks pp.
I think it was the breastfeeding!i definitely have some flab in the tummy that I need to loose, but hoping if i ever work out again that will cure it - but I am in all of my old clothes.
-
You are all giving me hope! I'm at nearly 28 weeks and just chugging along with the gain no matter how healthy I eat and how much I exercise.
-
Gained 32ish, lost the first amount pretty quickly (a couple weeks after? Hurricane Sandy helped) but the last 10-12 pounds won't go away (LO is nearly 5 months old). I assume breastfeeding is making my body hold onto the weight, so I'll work really hard on that once I'm not EBF.
-
I was at my fittest before i got pregnant, so i knew it would be difficult to get to my pre-pregnancy weight quickly!
I gained 35lbs and lost about 20 in a month. It took me 2 more months to lose another 10. I would say it was around the 9 month mark that i lost everything and no longer had a muffin top when i wore my old jeans. Even DH says i pretty much have my old body back (minus some loose skin).
-
I lost most of it by 3 months PP, but took me til 7 months PP to lose the last 10#. I blame the holidays, I honestly didn't put any effort into it for a solid 6 weeks!
-
Gained 26 lbs and lost it all within around a month to six weeks.. But I've gained a little since then, yuck. (Abt 5 lbs... The holidays and being busy w LO led me to eat unhealthily!)
-
I gained 40 pounds and at 7 weeks pp I have lost 30 pounds. I have 10 more to go until pre-preg weight. But like @Freckles: I was the fittest and leanest prior to getting pregnant with twins so I need to tone a lot to get back to that body.
-
I gained about 20lbs and it was mostly gone by 2 weeks pp. Now (at 4 months pp today!) I am down 10 from my pre-pregnancy weight. I have no idea how except for the breastfeeding. I still have a lot of "flab" though that I would like to lose!
-
I gained roughly 30 lb both times, and lost it both times by 4 or 5 months. However, after I stopped nursing, I gained 5-10 back. I'm a few lb shy of pre-baby weight now though at 18 months. The weight is the same, but the body is not the same, sadly.
-
I gained around 45. I lost it by 4 mo PP, but definitely had to put effort into it. It didn't just fall off...but maybe its because I"m 32?
-
Gained 35, am currently 4.5 weeks pp and have lost 23 of it. Ideal weight is 20 lbs away still.
-
#1: Gained 40ish, lost all but 5 6 weeks postpartum. Finally dropped the last 5 a year later when I went back on weight watchers but it crept slowly back up.
#2: Gained 35ish, back down to pre pregnancy weight by 4ish months postpartum (didn't pay as much attention this time, and it was more gradual). I'm now almost back down to pre-pregnancy weight from before #1, at almost 8 months postpartum.
Now that I'm done having kids, it's time to get back down to college weight!
-
I gained ~35 lbs and I lost all plus some prior to 6 weeks pp. However, I was nursing around the clock for my comfort nursing nursling and ended up have to go on a super restrictive diet when he was 8 weeks that got me down to a dangerously low weight (underweight for height and age). I've gained some weight back so I am closer to my pre-pregnancy again, but I would like to get in shape.
-
I gained 20 and lost it all by 1 week pp. I'm now 3 months pp and down 9 from pre pregnancy. Still about 10lbs to goal weight. But I EBF and am on an extremely restrictive diet because of LO's intolerances. I'm worried about gaining weight when I wean...
-
Gained 30 all gone by 12 weeks pp
-
I gained about 30 and lost it all by about 10 weeks pp. It's all redistributed though, so while my face looks much thinner my stomach is a disaster. I'm waiting til I wean at a year to really work on toning and losing a few more lbs.
-
I gained 33 and had lost about 40lbs by 12 weeks PP.
Now at 8mo pp I am back down to my wedding weight!
-
I gained 18 pounds and lost it by my 6 weeks appt.
-
Man, this board is filled with some very motivated ladies!
I'm 9 months postpartum and still probably about 10 pounds up from my pp weight. AND I was kind of heavier than usual when I got pregnant. So I would like to lose 15 pounds by the time LO turns one.
-
@littlebittyhouse: Wedding weight is my goal! I have a blank workout/food journal to use after baby is born with one of our wedding pics as the front picture. I got pregnant at about 10 pounds over my wedding weight due to indulging a little too much on vacation
-
@grizz: yeah i had gained 20lbs post wedding whoops! it actually worked out though because with our MSPI i dropped a ton of weight and the extra 20lbs i think helped me nurse as long as i have been!
-
I gained 26lbs and lost it all by 2 weeks postpartum. I lost an additional 15lbs but have slowly gained it back over the last 18 months. Ugh!
-
I've been having such a hard time losing weight
i gained 45, lost 20 within 2 weeks pp, but then gained 10 back! now i have lost 5 of those and since i wanted to go 5lbs less than pre-preg, i currently need to lose 35 pounds still and i am almost 4 months pp. sigh, i am not giving up though, just need to be more disciplined.
-
gained 42 and lost it in 2 weeks. I have no idea how but my body is not where it was before
-
I gained 30 lbs and have lost 23 by almost 3 wks pp. Is that weird? I'm not going to complain but it seems strange. My belly is a little loose but I feel like I look the same as I did pre-preg with clothes on. I had a c-section so maybe that makes a difference??
-
I'll be the odd ball here.
I gained 38 total, carried well throughout pregnancy, was shocked when DS was 8.11 at birth! Following birth, I walked out weighing the same (iv edema)... was down only 10 ish lbs for the first two months. And I do EBF!
the third month I buckled down started moderate exercise and modified paleo... now (16 wks) am down 25 of the 38 lbs... I fit into my prepreg jeans with no muffin top and haven't had to buy new clothes.
13 lbs 'til prepreg weight and 21 lbs 'til zexy mama prewedding weight!
-
I gained 40 and was the same weight as when I found out I was preg by 3 months. Haven't lost any since.
-
@mrsjyw: I won't leave you hangin'! (FWIW, I also had IV edema - it was awful - I thought I was done being swollen after I had LO!)
I gained 60 and now (at 6 mos. pp), I still have 2oish pounds to go. I still can't wear my pp jeans, but I don't have muffin top (my abs have rebounded nicely). Once I get the rest of the weight off (I really need to tweak my diet, but I didn't want to before now to make sure I could keep my BF supply which has been difficult for me!), I am pretty sure I will be back to ma old selfs . . . really looking forward to it!
-
I gained 35 lbs. Lost 20 of it by 12 weeks, then lost the rest by doing WW for a month. I've lost another 10 lbs in the 5 months since then by doing nothing but BF.
i gained 45, lost 20 within 2 weeks pp, but then gained 10 back! now i have lost 5 of those and since i wanted to go 5lbs less than pre-preg, i currently need to lose 35 pounds still and i am almost 4 months pp. sigh, i am not giving up though, just need to be more disciplined.
