At my 6 week postpartum checkup, I was a pound less than my starting weight, but my body looks nothing like pre-pregnancy. I am very lucky to not have to worry about the number on the scale, but I hate seeing my body. :( Hoping that it'll return back to normal once I wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-get-back-to-your-pre-baby-weight#post-9896 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 08:12:00 +0000 Wondermommy 9896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll let you know when it happens. My youngest LO is 3 years old. Ugh. </p> <p>Fwiw, I gained 50 lbs with both pregnancies. Genetics played a large (Ha!) part, because with my first, I ate junk food and pigged out. With my second, though, I ate much healthier, watched my portion control, and drank tons and tons of water. Still gained 50 :( Boys were 8lbs 11 oz, and 8lbs even, respectively. OB said sometimes, women just gain all over, and clearly, I was one of them. No gestational diabetes, either, we thought that at first, too. But nope, just good ol' genetics -.-<br /> ETA: I bottlefed with the first, but BF'd with the second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-get-back-to-your-pre-baby-weight#post-9892 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 07:44:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 9892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>your body holds onto extra weight when you're breastfeeding. a lot of women aren't able to lose the last pounds until they wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-get-back-to-your-pre-baby-weight#post-9875 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 06:22:54 +0000 L2sweetpea 9875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I with your Rubies...I'm at 6 weeks PP, and currently stuck. I did go for a jog the other day and the very next day I was a pound lighter...so I'm definitely going to start putting in workouts...I just wish it was warmer so I could go out for more runs with my little one...I find it so hard to get a workout in at home with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-get-back-to-your-pre-baby-weight#post-9820 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:14:41 +0000 chopsuey 9820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies I was stuck at my 6 week pp appointment til month 4. I realized I wasn't losing any weight so I started working out. Lost 10lbs between months 4-6. Stuck again so eating healthier and stopped eating after 7pm. I used to eat late at night. :) Weight's slowly starting to decrease again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-get-back-to-your-pre-baby-weight#post-9794 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 21:22:04 +0000 Rubies 9794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been the same weight since my 6week post-partum appointment.
