Postpartum weight loss?

Question

Is anyone else having trouble losing weight after baby? I thought it would be fairly simple for it to come off but that is not what's happening and it's discouraging. I've actually gained weight since baby was born 3 months ago. Any other mama's dealing with this also?

Answer

I was doing great with my weight loss before going back to work. Now I'm so stressed and tired and short on time I'm not doing so great. Gained 50 lbs during pregnancy and still have 13 pounds to go. However, I was in great shape before pregnancy so while only 13 lbs away from previous weight I have like zero muscle which weighs more. So I probably have more than 13 lbs of fat to lose. I have back fat rolls 😳 and my butt is ginormous. I know my boobs will stay huge until I'm done breastfeeding but someone needs to tell my ass it's holding on for nothing.

Answer

Yes. :( I'm trying not to get depressed because of my weight. I have PCOS and I gain extremely easy. I was taking metformin and had lost 130 lbs but I had to stop taking it when i got pregnant and can't take it while breastfeeding. I gained 60lbs while pregnant and another 10 since I've had my baby. I'm so sad and angry that I've gained back half the weight I tried so hard to lose. Trying to eat healthy and be as active as possible but it seems I can't lose any lbs. :(

Answer

I'm back at pregnant weight! 😪 I ate a lot of junk food initially to get through the stress of having a newborn but I haven't for a month and the weight just won't come off. I don't get to exercise so maybe that's why but I've never had too much of a problem before. Maybe it's hormones. I've never felt so disgusting. The stretch marks I can deal with, but the weight is just awful. I'm still wearing maternity clothes!

Answer

It's harder! I am 10lbs away from my pre pregnancy weigh before I got pregnant with my daughter and 17lbs away from my pre pregnancy from my 2year old 😫😫😫

Answer

I have found that I have to pay way more attention to what I eat than before I got pregnant. I fact, just today, I'm back at my prepregnancy weight and baby girl is 13 weeks old.
