I could fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes by the time I went back to work at 12 weeks pp, and was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by 4 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up/page/2#post-1084184 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 22:03:23 +0000 betsyboop 1084184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a rail by 6 months pp, really noticed the weight loss at 4 months pp. At 6 months, I could pull my pre-maternity jeans on and off without unbuttoning or unzippering (is that a word?). Probably the skinniest I've ever been. But once I weaned, I put some weight back on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up/page/2#post-1083875 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:11:35 +0000 Pink Champagne 1083875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to do WW to get rid of my extra weight when my weight loss stalled (at around 3 months pp). After I quit nursing for good I lost another ridiculous amount, like 6 lbs (I'm 5'3, that's a lot of weight for short little me). it was awesome, I was like, "Look at meeeeeee, I'm so skinn-nay!!"</p> <p>And then I got pregnant and gained it all back. Whomp whomp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up/page/2#post-1083862 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:06:47 +0000 hilsy85 1083862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happened to me! Weight loss definitely picked up around 5/6 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083540 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:06:47 +0000 sunshine83 1083540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I'm 8 months post partum and am back to my pre pregnancy weight. My clothes fit...jeans tell you no lie. So when I could get them on and they felt comfy again I knew all was right with the world. Ha. I was in shape before I got pregnant and slowly but surely my body is going back. I gained. 33 and had 10 to go 8 weeks post post partum. Those 10 have taken the past 6 months to come off. I workout but I think Breast feeding is causing my body to hold to some weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083452 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:27:10 +0000 birdofafeather 1083452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well, i don't want to be the dissenter, but i lost my pregnancy weight around a month out and now at 8 months, i'm down 12 pounds from that! so it's definitely been ramping up for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083343 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:33:11 +0000 LomaLinda 1083343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 4 months this week (EBF) and my weight loss had stalled too, and then I lost 5 lbs in this past week! Not sure what to credit that to since I have also started eating much better (low carb) and walking more. I hope that, combined with BFing will help the weight loss continue. I've got 25 more lbs to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083279 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:05:01 +0000 mamimami 1083279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started Weight Watchers I started to understand how much BFing was helping. Before that I wasn't losing much but I was also eating like a hog at the trough so that wasn't working for me. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083259 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:58:16 +0000 Boheme 1083259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Me either! I lost 25... And still had 35 hanging on for dear life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083165 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:35:18 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1083165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread kinda makes me feel better because I couldn't lose the remaining weight until after I weaned with my 1st. With my 2nd, I'm still hanging onto some extra pounds and have a feeling it's going to stick around until I wean. Though I have been feeling smaller in just the past week or so - after the 6 month mark. I really think the decrease in breastfeeding now (we just started solids, we're eating every 4 hours instead of 3, he is taking in less) is jumpstarting the weight loss.</p> <p>I was starting to think I was the only one because some of the other threads make it seem like all the breastfeeding made the weight magically disappear. Not the case for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083150 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:29:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1083150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: you are totally right. Can't even chat properly anymore. Paleo is in my blood I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083107 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:17:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 1083107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Hmmm I'm pretty sure chocolate covered almonds ARE paleo, if it's dark! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1083043 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:59:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1083043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: yes I did. At 3 months I was still a size bigger even though I was close to PP weight and by 6 months I was back in PP jeans. Now that I have to chase after him it's dipping even lower. Cut yourself slack :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082982 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:46:38 +0000 purrpletulips 1082982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't lost weight but gained it while BF. I did the same thing when I was nursing DD; apparently my body feels it needs to hold onto every calorie while I'm BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082956 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:40:44 +0000 keiki_mama 1082956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around the second month. I didn't weigh myself for the first six weeks and I was so surprised to see I had lost 25lbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082854 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:12:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1082854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: do it! I totally drank the koolaid after my crossfit/paleo/fitness model sister dictated my meals on vacation and I lost six in a week without exercise. It's way easier than I thought and I feel so much better.</p> <p>@chopsuey: just had a few chocolate covered almonds.....whoops. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082845 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:11:06 +0000 sslm 1082845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure because I started WW at 6 weeks. I've lost 30 lbs since then! Before that my weight loss was stalled. I have about 5 or 6 lbs to go and I'm 5 months pp next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082844 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:10:59 +0000 dagret 1082844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 7.5 mo and I just got down to my pre-pregnancy weight this week.

FWIW breastfeeding isn't doing anything for my weight loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082832 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:07:59 +0000 Boheme 1082832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I think that's what is next for me if this sudden quick drop of 5 lbs was a fluke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082831 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:07:43 +0000 chopsuey 1082831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ditto!

Since then, despite going to the gym 4ish times per week, walking with the stroller every day, and completely changing my diet, I have not lost one. single. pound. We are at the 6 month mark....here's hoping something starts changing soon, because I don't know what more to do haha! Unfortunately I have quite a bit more I want to lose above the 10 of pregnancy weight, so I am ready to get this show on the road! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082817 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:04:50 +0000 Adira 1082817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months and still waiting. BFing doesn't appear to be doing anything for me in the weight-loss department. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082806 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:01:57 +0000 mamabolt 1082806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 7-9 months for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082798 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:58:49 +0000 dojo 1082798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started losing more around 4 1/2 months - I still have a little ways to go and my doctor had mentioned that she often sees the last bit of weight hang around until you wean. I am about 5 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight now about 6.5 months out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082785 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:56:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1082785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: @rachiecakes: Yep, I gained 60 pounds and lost 30 of it in the few first weeks (it was gone by the time I went back for my 6 week checkup . . . crazy town swelling!) . . . but the last 30 has been different. I still have 15 to go (20 to wedding weight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082783 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:55:53 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1082783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My weight loss flatlined from 6 weeks to 6 months. I went paleo at six months pp with no effect on supply and have dropped 22lbs in two months. Before that NOTHING was working to shift the weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-moms-when-did-your-weight-loss-ramp-up#post-1082757 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:50:49 +0000 rachiecakes 1082757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pre-e, so I lost a tremendous amount of weight immediately that I doubt had anything to do with breastfeeding. I didn't lose anything after that immediate loss until DS started weaning (around 9/10 months, we were done breastfeeding at 11 months). </p>
