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.

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.

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).

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.

BF and pumping

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.

Not until 10 months when I weaned and it took a lot of work

@Mrs. Pen: I'm with ya girl. Many many 5am gym sessions, heh

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.

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!

Still waiting 2 years later lol

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.

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!

I am 6 weeks pp and just about 3lbs above pre-pregnancy weight. 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..
