I gained "too much" and lost 29 pounds in the first 2 weeks (no, really). Then I lost the next 5 pounds slowly over the 11 weeks, and with 10 pounds to go, I'm guessing it'll be 20 more weeks at this rate.<br /> I feel decent about my body composition and my obliques are pretty strong. My upper abs are improving and my lower abs still feel almost separated! :( I healed slowly from my c-section and wasn't allowed more than walking for 10 weeks pp.<br /> LO is EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267449 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:36:35 +0000 Sammyfab 267449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a scale so I never weigh myself. I probably lost my weight at 8-ish weeks and all of my pre-pg clothes fit by then. My body however, is not the same at all. I have no muscle anymore!! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267443 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:33:24 +0000 regberadaisy 267443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea. The last time I weighed myself was at my 6wks pp visit.<br /> All I know is all my clothes are fitting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267441 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:32:44 +0000 mrsjazz 267441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 months PP and I've got 8 lbs. to go to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 42! The first 30 came off in 2 weeks PP and the other 12 has come off slowly but surely because of breastfeeding. I just started taking walks with LO strapped to me in the carrier because I figure a nice 20-minute walk with 15 lbs. on my chest will help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267391 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 07:54:03 +0000 Goldilocks1107 267391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lost 40-45 of the 50 or so pounds I gained. But a lot of it was water weight, so I peed that out in a few weeks. And at 3 months pp, my boobs are still 2 cup sizes larger than pre-pregnancy. And I weaned after 4 weeks of pumping. So the boobies might be carrying the 5 lbs I still need to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267339 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 06:31:08 +0000 heffalump 267339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 13 months and I still have ten pounds to go :( plus I gained a lot before she came so I have a lot more to lose than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267204 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:13:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 267204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 weeks pp and still have 20 pounds to lose to be happy.

I was so lucky that it came off as easily as it did. I only gained 26lbs and drank water 90% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267196 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:01:28 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 267196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine is gone and then some at 12 wks pp - but sadly i atribute most of it to a horrible stomach bug less than 3 wks pp - extremely un-fun way to lose 10 lbs in a couple days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267151 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:03:04 +0000 Magilnyc 267151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12weeks pp and I have lost 22 lbs but I still have 25 lbs to lose.

I gained 30 lbs and Was on bed rest for 7 wks so pretty happy. Have worked out moderately and EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267134 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:56:06 +0000 cvbee 267134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: 4 months in and I lost it all quite a while ago already....and I didn't really do anything. I go for a 30 minute stroller walk with the dog and baby every day and I EBF. I think a lot that has to do with weight is genetics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267125 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:53:58 +0000 stargal 267125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>six weeks out and still working on it, have about 10 pounds to go. sighhh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267109 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:44:04 +0000 IcebergMom 267109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding did the trick for me. And going for 1-2 walks w babe a day. Lost all 62 baby lbs in 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-267103 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:35:29 +0000 Weagle 267103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost all of it by six weeks, but it wasn't until about 10 weeks that I felt comfortable in my old jeans. Things aren't in the same place though, so I definitely need to work on toning up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-266948 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:28:48 +0000 autumnlove 266948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost all 33lbs by six weeks. However, I still haven't put on a pair of regular jeans because I am afraid of muffin top! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-266945 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:26:30 +0000 KT326 266945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunday I will be 5 months pp and I am actually 5lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. I didn't do anything except breast feed. However, some clothes still don't fit right since my body shape has changed. I'm still about 20lbs heavier than I would like to be so eventually I will get back to working out.... I just need to find the motivation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-266943 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:25:51 +0000 mediagirl 266943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 weeks pp and well, I'm still in elastic waist pants. :( YET I blame myself. I haven't really gotten off the couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-266937 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:22:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 266937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 6 months pp today and have about 3 lbs to go. To fit into my old jeans I'll need lose another 5-10 lbs because my body shape has changed.</p> <p>It took me going to the gym consistently, and eating sugar free/gluten free for the last 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-lost-the-pounds-gained-during-pregnancy#post-266933 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:19:36 +0000 DpeachLu 266933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 20 weeks today and I still have 5-8 pounds to go! I definitely do not work out as much as I did before pregnancy. I attend a bootcamp twice a week for an hour and I eat horrible!<br /> I wear all my pre-pregnancy clothing just fine but just knowing theres an extra 5-8 pounds on me bothers me!<br /> Have you lost the weight, what did it take? </p>
