how did you lose your baby weight?

Question

My son is now 4 months old and I still have all my baby weight. I gained 50 pounds. I'm walking most days and doing a few exercises at home. Just curious about how other mommies lost their baby weight. I am not breastfeeding.

Answer

Clean eating, and working out. The eating is the biggest though...avoid processed foods. Stick to lean meats, veggies, fruit, and nuts as much as possible. Cut out sugary drinks like soda, energy drinks, and juices that aren't homemade. It really helps, and you will feel so much better! Good luck!

Answer

I didn't. lol you're not alone

Answer

I gained weight after I had the baby 😂

Answer

I'm 32 and it's my first baby and I gained 40lbs and 2 weeks after I had him I had lost 20lbs and I was breastfeeding and the last 20 wasn't coming off until I had to stop drinking milk and then it came off pretty quick after that. It took me 2 months to get back to pre preg weight which is actually the fattest I've ever been bf getting pregnant. Unfortunately I was my heaviest weight when I got pregs I've been eating bad and I'm stuck at 170lbs now and I've been stuck for the last 2.5 months. I'm too tired to exercise

Answer

I gained 60 this pregnancy. I lost 30 within 2 weeks. The next 15 I lost from adding longer walks and adding a lot of veggies and nuts to my diet. I kinda forget to eat so I have trail mix everywhere. I also have an alarm on my phone for every 3 hours. I have a small snack. I'm ebf. Baby girl is 4.5 months and 18lbs.

Answer

I gained 44 lbs during my pregnancy and am down 40 at 16 weeks pp. I am breastfeeding and had to cut out dairy, soy and nuts for my baby, so that has basically forced me to eat heathy lol. I do workout a few days a week, but nothing crazy. We go on walks/jogs to get some fresh air and sometimes I go to the gym and lift weights (whenever I can). But really it's my diet that has made the biggest impact.

Answer

I gained about 50lbs and lost about 40 of that so far. I am snacking less and breastfeeding. I also came to the conclusion that if I was a SAHM I soooo would not have lost any of the weight.

Answer

I lost then gained. I'm having an issue too. I just went to my ob because i have had periods every two weeks. She said my hormones and a bunch of other things, but pretty much I'm not being the benefits that moms get breastfeeding but my baby is. Which yay for him bummer for me.

Answer

I lost it all in the first two weeks after delivery due to eating somewhat smaller meals and breastfeeding! If your not breastfeeding try limited calories in your diet on top of moving around! Breastfeeding really worked well at increasing my fat burning and dr said it was fine for me to lose 32 pounds in two weeks... which really scared me!

Answer

Very clean eating! I had to give up dairy for baby from mid-December until 2 weeks ago. That meant no ice cream, chocolate, etc. While on my 12 weeks of maternity leave, I took as many 60-90 minute walks as I could. I started light strength training a few weeks after having the baby. I also kept running the entire time (took off 11 days after having the baby). Honestly, the food is what did it. I still try to get the long walks in on the weekend. I lift MWF and run TR. Between feeding baby, getting showered and ready for the day, etc, my workouts are only 25-30 minutes after I warm up.

5 am 1/2 c oatmeal with 1Tbs peanut butter and a handful of blueberries pre-workout.

630 am 2 eggs with a big bowl of greens for post-workout.

1030 am 1/4 c nuts and apple

1230 pm 1 serving of protein  (chicken, beans, turkey, fish) with a starch (sweet potato, rice, quinoa), and about 3 cups of cooked veggies. We cook with olive oil usually do that's my main fat source.

2 pm guacamole with rice or corn crackers or carrots

6 pm dinner is similar to lunch

I was heavy when I got pregnant  (171). I feel best around 155-160. I gained 46 pounds. I'm now 167 and still losing weight. It has slowed down now that I don't have daily 60-90 minute walks but it's still coming off.
