Losing weight after baby?

Question

Hi ladies,
I know every one is different, but I'm just curious.

What was everyone's starting weight/ending weight and how long did it take you to lose the baby weight? And how much did you lose breastfeeding if you breast fed? Thanks in advance :)

Answer

I was 115 with my first and I gained like 50 pounds if not more. I stopped paying attention cus I was depressed lol But I had my baby in June, and I never weighed myself until September and I was 120. I breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months and I didn't diet as in restrict calories I just ate lots of fresh foods and not too much processed.

Answer

I gained a lot I was 90 pounds pre pregnancy by 39 weeks I was 170 after baby 11 months postpartum I'm 130 lbs and honestly can't seem to lose it..

Answer

I am 5'5 and weighed 125 lbs pre-pregnancy. I gained 20lbs with my first. I walked out of the hospital in my normal pants and breastfed. Within a week I was at my normal weight and then eventually lost 35lbs and ended up too thin at 108lbs. It took me a couple years to get back up to my pre pregnancy weight.

Answer

1st pregnancy: started at 120, gained 19lbs, back to prepregnancy weight within a week.
2nd pregnancy: started at 112, gained 19lbs, back to prepregnancy weight within a week
3rd pregnancy: started at 120, currently 33weeks and have gained 12lbs, looking to go the same but we'll see

Answer

I started at 170. I was 189 at my 37 week appointment. I gave birth to a 7 lb 12oz baby at 37w2d and I was 166 (4 below my start weight) at 6 days postpartum. At my 6 week appointment last week I was 159!

I have a chronic illness and had to take steroids that made me go from 150 to 170 that I couldn't get rid of no matter what I did. Apparently breastfeeding is doing the trick. It's better than exclusive cardio. All I do is occasionally walk on sunny days (which isn't much because I live in Seattle), eat crappy food, and breastfeed.

Answer

With my daughter I started off at 160 when I delivered her I was 230 so I gained 70 pounds. I lost 30 breast feeding. I just started this pregnancy at 200 I'm 12 weeks and haven't gained anything yet

Answer

I gained about 50 pounds when I had the baby. My weight didn't budge at all till about 6 months after I had him. I just had to keep persisting with eating healthy and trying to get back into being a little more active after not being able to do a lot while pregnant. I did breastfeed so I think it helped speed it up but sometimes it does take a while to lose weight and not everyone bounces back so quickly. Those first 6 months were frustrating and I didn't like my body at all but now I'm between 5-10 pounds heavier than my pre pregnancy weight and I feel so much better about myself and still working on being healthier to lose that last bit

Answer

I was very lucky (must be genetics) but also extremely careful about only gaining the recommended amount ... started 104, gained 25. Lost all of it except for two lbs within ten days of giving birth. Considering how much my breasts grew when my milk came in, I consider myself back at my starting weight lol.
