How long did it take you to lose the baby weight?

Question

I'm 6 weeks postpartum- I had a c section and just wondering how long it usually takes to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. I'm reluctant to buy any clothes to fit my slightly curvier figure, but am kinda getting sick of wearing sweats all the time! Any tips are appreciated too!
Pre-pregnancy: 115 lbs
40 weeks pregnant: 146 lbs
6 weeks postpartum: 124 lbs

Answer

For me it took 6 months. The last couple pounds for some reason just would not go away. I didn't either want to buy clothes. But I did buy one pair of jeans so I did feel more comfy and normal not a muffin when I went out in public.

Answer

I'm starting to believe the answer is never.....

Answer

I lost all the weight but still don't fit into my regular clothes. My body just isn't the same I bought new clothes. I also got tired of being in gym clothes

Answer

I have a tiny bit of extra fat on my belly and a couple of pounds extra but I am basically there at five months pp. I fit into even the skinniest of my skinny jeans again.

Fyi I looked seven months pregnant until 3-4 months pp so I thought I'd never get back to how I used to be.

Answer

5-6 months

Answer

Answer

Pregnancy weight 254
2 weeks PP 232

I am already weighing v less than when i was pregnant. Due to an emergency c section I am not able to exercise yet.

Answer

Almost three months before fitting all my pants...I think it's going to be different for everyone...I workout a lot and eat really well so I was able to shed the last 15 after starting my normal healthy life...however, I wore my maternity pants till I was comfy in my regular ones! No shame in taking time to get back to normal! I would set a timeline...if you aren't fitting by (x) months, go buy some new clothes so you can feel confident and sexy! No need to rush, but also no need to hold yourself to a standard of your old clothes and feel bad about your figure if it's just not happening!!

Answer

I had to buy new pants since I went back to work. But I am still not in my pre-pregnancy pants. I breastfeed, but do not work out. 140 and wearing size 4/6 before 190 squeezing into my size 10 maternity clothes at the end, and last week I was 153 wearing size 8. I am going to be 14 weeks pp this Thursday. When the weather is warmer I will start walking.

Answer

I was 128 prepregnancy gained 52....I'm 5 weeks post partum and lost 42 already. I'm definitely NOT the norm. My LO was in the NICU for 2+ weeks and I was pumping like crazy so I think that is what did it for me.
