Anyone NOT losing lots of weight?

Question

I gained 35lbs during my pregnancy and then lost 8lbs while in the hospital. Now I'm 2weeks out and 13lbs down...but I seem to see lots of posts about women who are already almost down to their pre-pregnancy weight! I could be eating better but the exhaustion and lack of time don't help, plus lack of exercise. I am breastfeeding. Anybody else just feel fat now? :/

Answer

I've gained weight... I lost like 12 pounds then gained back 5. Unless it's muscle from lifting my 10 pound six week old Idk what's going on because I'm breast feeding

Answer

I gained 30 and had a 9 lb 2 oz baby. I thought for sure I left a ton of weight in the hospital, but when I stepped on the scale at home I had only lost 5lbs 😩 (how?!)

Answer

Thank you guys!! I appreciate hearing about a variety of experiences - I kept feeling like all I was seeing was women who had almost lost all the weight :) I'm ok with it taking several months as long as I hopefully keep losing!

Answer

I'm with you. My daughter was born the 8th and I've lost a total of 16lbs and kinda just been sitting there. I'm breastfeeding as well. Try and give yourself some grace though. With my last daughter I didn't get down to pre-pregnancy weight until 3 months.

Answer

I gained 43, lost 27 in the first two weeks. Thought it was all going to keep melting off but now by week 3, nothing has changed- even with walking and watching my diet. . I've read a few posts and the trend amongst a lot of women is losing A lot within 2 weeks and then the rest within 3-6 months. I have also read with breastfeeding the peak of weight loss and burning calories comes at 3-6 months so that makes sense. Hang in there!

Answer

I gained 75-80 😬😬😬 she's 20 days and I've lost 33 lbs. hoping to keep up the pace because I have a LOT to lose.

Answer

I gained 48 pounds during pregnancy and lost 24 over the last 4 weeks. Hoping to lose the rest (or get close) by our family vacation over the 4th of July. :(
