So I recently weighed myself and now I'm back to my regular healthy weight.
I had gained... 62 lbs during pregnancy.
I just wanted you Mommas to know breastfeeding really does take the weight off! It took 7 months to be back in the real skinny jeans but I was in regular clothes pretty quickly.

As of 22 weeks I had gained 13 pounds. I go back Friday for another appointment. I'm hoping it hasn't gone up too much but I haven't exactly been the healthiest eater.

45 with the first, lost 20, gained 30 with the second and lost 20 (I'm 12 weeks pp). Breastfeeding does crap all for me losing weight (but excellent things for the baby, not to complain), I think my body wants to keep all the fat it can to make sure the baby gets enough. Hoping to get back to normal soon!

WOW to getting back to prebaby in 7 months!!
I gained about 50-55lbs. Was about 5lbs shy of getting back to pre-baby weight when I got pregnant again!

I gained 32-33 lbs and it was gone in about a month and a half. Still flabby though!

I gained 37lbs and I'm 9 months postpartum and I'm STILL carrying 12-15lbs. It makes me sad.

I gained 55 lbs with my first and 28 lbs with this baby (at nearly 35 weeks).
But, I'm 5 pounds away from my delivery weight with baby #1...that means the 2.5 years inbetween that 22 pounds slowly crept up on me! I was down to prepregnancy weight fast after my first but shortly after that I gained 10 and that stayed for awhile...then the 12 more was entirely from buying our first house, stressful.

I gained 26 lbs and was down to my pre-pregnancy weight by DS's 2 week appointment. I was extremely fortunate that the baby weight fell off like it did but, at 8 months postpartum, I still have a long way to go.

I gained 24 lbs & was back in pre-pregnancy clothes right away but not *all* of my pre-pregnancy clothes 
I am a bit nervous that with this baby I won't be so fortunate....

I gained just over 40lbs.. I havent weighed myself since the baby came but I'm guessing I've lost quite a bit already since I fit into a lot of my old clothes. Breastfeeding definitely makes a difference because my belly seems to have just shrunk over the past few days.

I gained 25 pounds and 5 weeks pp I just need to lose another 5ish pounds to get back to pre-pregnancy.

I've gained about 35 +/- and I'm at week 34. I've been going up and down recently after a large weight gain at 28 weeks. Congrats to you for losing it all so quickly!

30lbs with DD1 which took a bit to come off (8-9 months) but I ended up 10lbs under pre-baby weight!
Right now I'm 37 weeks and +29lbs so we'll see where I end up. I'm hoping just to lose and end up right around pre-baby weight but don't need to be any smaller.

11 weeks only, I've gained a fluctuating 2 pounds. I have a lonnnng way left to go though. I hope I can be right around 30 pounds.

I only looked at the scale at my very first visit so I could have a goal weight for once this is all over. I seriously have NO desire to know how much weight I've gained and I probably won't look at the scale again until three or four moths after baby is born.

I gained 36 lbs, but at 2.5 months pp I still have 16 lbs to lose. I am EBF but I can't seem to lose the weight, even though I'm working out 2-4x a week! I still don't fit into my old clothes, I think part of it is that my thighs and hips are so much bigger now. I'm so jealous that EBF works so well for so many other moms to lose the weight and not me

I gained around 45 lbs. At 2 weeks postpartum, I'm down about 30 lbs, so another 15 to go, though Id really like to get down another 10 after that. So another 25 I'm hoping to lose. Any wait until I'm released for exercise from my csection! I'm ready to get back on it.
