Honestly, I'm too stressed out to eat real meals and to eat 3 square meals a day - i am prob averaging 1 good meal a day and lame snacks and a ton of water throughout, and that plus nursing around the clock i'm assuming is how i lost the weight. I lose weight VERY slowly in real life when i am dieting/exercising at the rate of 1lb/week. I gained 25lbs this pregnancy. But my body does not look the same as before.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886864 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:52:10 +0000 JennyG 1886864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LomaLinda: Right now the pants I bought when I first went back to work are too big, but my pre-pregnancy pants are still too small. We're TTC #2 so I hate spending money on pants that might not fit for long. Basically, I either need to lose a few more pounds or get knocked up quick to fit in some pants. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886849 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:44:26 +0000 Mrs. M 1886849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 weeks pp and I have a feeling it's going to take awhile! With my first, the weight came off the fastest around 4 months and then stalled. This time around I have 25 lbs to lose (I gained around 45) and my hips and thighs seemed to get much bigger with this pregnancy. My goal is to just comfortably fit into my fat pants that I bought after my first pregnancy. I'm trying to be easier on myself this time around and plan on rejoining the gym soon. When I start having a "moment" about it, I look at my LO's and remind myself it's more than worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886846 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:43:04 +0000 coopsmama 1886846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 weeks postpartum and still have 20 to go. I gained about 50lbs. :( I am, however, 30lbs up over my weight from before my first pregnancy. Grrrrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886843 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:40:18 +0000 Grace 1886843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost all of it within the first month, then was insanely hungry with breastfeeding, so got very used to eating a lot. Then after LO started solids, I wasn't as hungry anymore but had got so used to eating all the time even though I didn't need it. Now, at a year later, I'm 10-15 lb over pre-pregnancy weight. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886836 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:31:18 +0000 LomaLinda 1886836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyG: me too! My LO is 16 months old and I have only lost half of the weight I gained while pregnant... And I gained a lot. I have recently bought some jeans that fit me instead of trying to squeeze into too-small jeans, and it makes me feel so much better about myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886766 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 20:46:27 +0000 DillonLion 1886766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still waiting 2 years later lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886760 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 20:42:27 +0000 JennyG 1886760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I have 14 month old and still have too much weight to lose to even write it. I am running again and working out, but the weight is not coming off. I eat fairly healthy but it doesn't seem to matter. I try to get too down on myself, but it can be so depressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886623 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:26:48 +0000 mrskc 1886623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel ya! I feel so gross about myself. I'm 7 weeks pp and have 20 lbs to lose. I gained about 40 total and my weight loss has stalled since 2 weeks pp. I can't even fit into my "fat" jeans that I bought for pp last time. Ugh. I'm living in leggings right now and have been trying to find cute tunics. </p> <p>With DS I gained about the same, maybe a little less. I started weight watchers at 12 weeks pp and lost all the baby weight in a couple of months. I want to do WW again. I'm anxious to get started. Thinking of starting at 8 weeks pp this time. I'm trying to remind myself 9 months on 9 months off and to be kind to myself. But it's hard!! I want to wear my old clothes again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886598 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:15:47 +0000 MrsKoala 1886598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took 7 months to lose it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886592 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:14:08 +0000 blackbird 1886592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I'm with ya girl. Many many 5am gym sessions, heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886485 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:19:35 +0000 lilteacherbee 1886485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost all of the baby weight and an extra 10 lbs somewhere between 4-8 months. I hate that in between stage when maternity pants are too big, but pre-preg stuff is way too small. I ended up buying yoga pants one size up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886476 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1886476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 10 months when I weaned :( and it took a lot of work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886471 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:01:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1886471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't lose weight until I worked it off. Totally sucked that it wouldn't just fall off on it's own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886408 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:59:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1886408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel extra awful about my body. I gained 60+ with Chloe and it took me over a year to lose it all. </p> <p>My hips got so wide with her. I eventually dropped to about 10lbs under my PP weight, but was still up an entire size. Now my hips are even bigger, so I would have to go up another size!</p> <p>My tops fits. It's my bottoms. Maternity pants are too large (I have all full panel) but my regular pants are waaaay too small. I can't even fit into my regular yoga pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886376 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:47:24 +0000 catomd00 1886376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plateaued at 4 w pp then dropped the rest around 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886373 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:45:48 +0000 mauxie 1886373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 55 lbs with LO2 (50 with LO1)..... For both, I lost all the weight by about 12-13 weeks. I think for me, a lot of it was just crazy fluid retention? Bc I tried both times to watch my diet and stay active, and both LOs as newborns were small to avg weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886370 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:45:08 +0000 lamariniere 1886370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I was under prepreg weight by maybe 4 months PP. With my second, I'm finally to prepreg weight at 10 months PP., but my stomach is still squishy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886365 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:42:19 +0000 kes18 1886365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm..2 weeks postpartum I was up about 17 lbs (gained around 40-43).. It kind of stuck around there (I think I lost maybe 3 lbs?) until about the 2 month mark and then I think about 10lbs dropped off during that 3rd month. So I was only 3 or 4 lbs heavier than normal...6 mo pp and still stuck there! I won't really complain about that but I was up about 4-5 lbs anyway when I got pregnant so I'd still like to lose another 5lbs.<br /> .<br /> BF and pumping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886359 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:39:23 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1886359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took maybe 6 months? I was lucky though that breaatfeeding never made me hungrier. Plus being forced to eliminate dairy and soy for Lucy's MSPI helped the diet too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886351 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:35:12 +0000 avivoca 1886351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still hanging on to ten extra pounds at almost one year pp. Every time I try to clean up my diet or cut calories, my supply plummets (actually maybe I should do that since I'm trying to wean). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886349 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:29:46 +0000 autumnlove 1886349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost it but then I gained weight when I went back to work and it won't budge with just exercise. I need to clean up my diet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886346 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:28:26 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1886346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Liam was about 9 or 10 months, I was down to my pre pregnancy weight, then lost more (because I had gained before I got pregnant) and stopped losing when he was around 14 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886341 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:24:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1886341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the weight was harder to lose after my 2nd pregnancy! I still have these 5 pesky pounds that won't budge. I didn't lose most of the weight until after I weaned though. My body likes to hang on to all the fat when I'm breastfeeding, so I definitely didn't get any of the weight loss benefits of that. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886329 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:16:32 +0000 blackbird 1886329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bahaha....i gained 60. You're pretty close :). I got really serious when E was almost 9 months old. It was right after Christmas. It took me the full first year of her life to lose every bit, plus a few more pounds. I shouldn't have waited so long, but I just was stuck in a funk that whole fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-lose-weight#post-1886321 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:12:36 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1886321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4w PP and have 16lbs left to lose. I gained 34 this pregnancy. My hips exploded this time &amp; I feel like an icky blob!</p> <p>How long did it take for you to lose all the weight?<br /> I am breastfeeding but it makes me ravenously hungry. Like I could eat a four course meal at 4am then eat breakfast again at 7! :shocked: </p>
