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!
I wear all my pre-pregnancy clothing just fine but just knowing theres an extra 5-8 pounds on me bothers me!
Have you lost the weight, what did it take?

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.
It took me going to the gym consistently, and eating sugar free/gluten free for the last 3 months.
-
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.

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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
Breastfeeding did the trick for me. And going for 1-2 walks w babe a day. Lost all 62 baby lbs in 5 months.
-
six weeks out and still working on it, have about 10 pounds to go. sighhh...
-
@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.
-
14 wks post Partum and 5 lbs to go (I think) though frankly a good pound or so is my boobs which went from a B to an E. I gained 30 lbs and Was on bed rest for 7 wks so pretty happy. Have worked out moderately and EBF.
-
I lost all of the baby weight by 2 weeks pp. I still have a lot to lose, but being under my pre-pregnancy weight is okay for now.
-
@Sweet T: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??! I praise yoooou:)
-
12weeks pp and I have lost 22 lbs but I still have 25 lbs to lose. I cant even talk about it
-
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
-
@TurtleDoves: Haha thanks! I was so lucky that it came off as easily as it did. I only gained 26lbs and drank water 90% of the time.
-
I'm 10 weeks pp and still have 20 pounds to lose to be happy. I gained about 45 during pregnancy.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!
-
No idea. The last time I weighed myself was at my 6wks pp visit.
All I know is all my clothes are fitting! -
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!!
-
13 weeks pp now and still have 10 ish to go... and have been working out at least 5x/week (5x running for 30 minutes, 1x yoga, 1x pilates) since 10 weeks pp.
My fat pants fit, and I can SQUEEZE into my prepreg pants with major muffin top now.I gained 44 pounds and worked out like crazy during pregnancy. 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.
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.
LO is EBF.
YET I blame myself. I haven't really gotten off the couch.
