I just lost 2 inches off my waist and am starting to reshape to my old self again! It ROCKS. I have 1.5 waist inches to go (I gained 16 inches in the waist and lost 11 by simply having the baby--the rest has been a FIGHT). And I mean... in the time I lost those 2 inches and have lost less than a pound so I know it's the pilates. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-324048 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:17:31 +0000 winniebee 324048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I did! I worked out like crazy from 6-14 weeks post partum (pre-30 minute naps) and was producing so much milk from pumping. Things are not in their proper place and I have pancake butt, but as of a few weeks ago I was down to my pre-preg weight. Which is 5 lbs more than I want to be ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-323851 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:50:44 +0000 pastemoo 323851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: You already did?

Migraines are the worst.<br /> @Baby Boy Mom: What do women without fat pants do? I was wearing my maternity pants for a long time and then moved into my fat pants (I still wear some of them)....If I didn't have fat pants I would have had to go shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-323590 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 22:03:37 +0000 heffalump 323590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: well the big problem is I gained a lot of weight before I got pregnant with my lo.... so I have a lot more to lose before I'm back to my old self. Before ttc I had to get off a certain med which caused me to gain a lot, then I got pregnant and gained and miscarried, then I comfort ate and gained, then I got pregnant before losing any of that weight. So yeah..... 8 lbs to pre lo weight but 28 lbs to my happy weight!</p> <p>Migraines are better than when lo first came... but still pretty bad :( not looking forward to what's going to happen when we decide to get pregnant again. Thank you for asking about me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-323588 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 22:02:47 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 323588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure because I never stepped on a scale at that point but I think it was around 10 lbs. I was not happy to still be in maternity pants then. But somewhere closer to 2 months I switched from maternity pants to my old "fat" pants so it wasn't that bad after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-323526 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:27:44 +0000 pastemoo 323526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Being female is a major head trip!<br /> @artbee: 8lbs to go with walking induced migraines? You're doing great! Are the migraines getting any better yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-322021 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:21:07 +0000 luckypenny 322021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 50 to go!

Two month pp I still have about 20 lbs to go :( I really don't want to have to buy bigger clothes but I may have to because its getting chilly and all of my maternity clothes? Are summer ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321811 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:49:53 +0000 heffalump 321811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 40 lbs and after a month still had 20 to go. Now LO is 14 months old and I still have 8 lbs :(</p> <p>But I get crazy bad migraines, have had them my whole life and even worse since she's been here and exercise is a big trigger so I can't even take a walk without my head blowing up. It's been hard to try to lose the weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321797 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:39:52 +0000 cvbee 321797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yeah, I think that's when I did it. Oh, wait, no, I didn't have my PP til 8 weeks (they coordinate it with baby's 2 month check up here). So I stepped on the scale before then because I wanted to 'find out' in private. :) I don't know why I was so anxious about the PP weight. I thought I was going to be 'fat' for the rest of my life or something. I remember first being so shocked about how small my tummy got after the birth that shortly after coming home from the hospital I put on some (loose) pre-preg pants thinking they'd for sure do up and I was HORRIFIED at how far from doing up they were. I decided then and there that I would be fat for a long time. I wore maternity pants for a super duper long time after that, until I finally started seeing pics of myself (maybe 6 weeks PP) and thinking how darn frumpy I was looking and then I tried on my pants and they fit. And then I checked the scale and I was maybe only 8 pounds over pre-preg weight. Being a girl is such a head-trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321543 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:44:45 +0000 googly-eyes 321543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following this as I will be 1 mo pp in a week and a half! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321507 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:13:04 +0000 matador84 321507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 7 left to pre preg and LO is 1 month old.

I guess I should have done at 6 weeks, huh? Since most people have a pp check at 6 weeks... And most people don't seem to lose much between 5 and 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321432 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:54:12 +0000 cvbee 321432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 weeks I was still to afraid to check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321430 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:52:22 +0000 pastemoo 321430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: :) Yeah, I sense a common theme--lose a lot in the first week or three and then stall out for months. Ah, well. Still. Totally. Worth. It. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321428 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:51:19 +0000 pastemoo 321428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would be easier to get back to "zero" but my clinic said I was doing great (I have lost like 3 pounds since the 3 week mark--so 3 pounds like 3.5 months). They said that is actually really good.<br /> I plan to replan my diet (not go on a diet but rather reevaluate my food choices) if I don't reach "zero" by 9 months post partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-weight-did-you-have-left-to-lose-after-1-month#post-321427 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:50:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 321427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oops I voted wrong... sorry!!</p> <p>I still had about 20 lbs to lose. I was stuck at +20 lbs for like three months.
