How much weight did you lose after birth?

Question

I know it's shallow and expect negative comments for it,  but I also thought it would be a great idea to start a discussion on weight loss for those of us that want to have it: I put on 50lbs total, lost 30lbs in two weeks after both. The remaining 20 was obviously food weight, not baby.  I don't want to go to the gym or diet with a newborn. Is anyone else postponing weightloss until baby is a few months older?  And those that are dieting, are you breastfeeding and dieting? Share.

Answer

I gained only 10 lbs. my baby weighed 9 lbs 6 oz. I weighed myself a week ago and lost 25 lbs somehow

Answer

i lost all of my weight...

Answer

I gained 30-34, lost 24 and have stayed there since 3 weeks pp, I'm now 5 wks pp. exclusively breastfeeding.

Answer

I gained 30 with pregnancy and am now about 5 away from pre-pregnancy weight (4 weeks postpartum). I'm not dieting necessarily since I'm breastfeeding and need more calories, but I am trying to make healthier decisions. The last month of pregnancy I really ate whatever I wanted. So I'm working in getting back in control but won't do any dieting until I'm done breastfeeding. At my 6 week appointment I'm hoping to be cleared to workout again. I hope to start that back up slowly as soon as possible.

Answer

I gained about 39lbs and I am down 33lbs at 3 weeks PP. 😊

Answer

I was 182 when I gave birth 3 and a half weeks ago . I was 156 when before I got pregnant I’m now 152. I have no idea how it happened . I know I’m not hungry hardly ever. I almost have to force my self to eat most of the time . I miss my appetite . I do breastfeed as well and pump .

Answer

I didn't gain a pound with my pregnancy  and have lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks...so I'm 26 pounds below pre-pregnancy weight

Answer

Gained 12 kg and lost 10kg within 2 weeks after birth

Answer

I gained 18kgs and lost 8kgs straight after birth.  I'm not dieting or working out until my six week pp check up when the doctor says I can.  I'm breastfeeding and will be starting off restricting my calories to 2000 with training three times a week, and will gradually decrease my calories unless my milk supply decreases, then I'll just stay where I am and continue working out.

Answer

Gained about 40 and lost 20 ish. I’ve only stepped on the scale once. I don’t really like looking at numbers. I go off of how I feel and look for now. But I’m back to working out, and I’ve always eaten pretty good, it would definitely be a “diet” to some, but it’s normal for me. Just clean and healthy foods!
