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

Question

I guess what really matters is getting back into a healthy BMI range- so how long did it take you to get there? Has anyone lost ALL of their baby weight? Anyone still holding on to 10+ pounds more than 6 months after having baby?

Answer

Even if you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight, your body will not be the same. I am slightly below my pre-pregnancy weight and some of my old clothes still don’t fit right.

Answer

I was back to my pre pregnancy weight at my 6 week checkup. I started then doing yoga and watching what I eat and now two years pp I’m in the best shape of my life

Answer

Took me 8 months to lose it with my son except for 10lbs. I gained 50 with him...with my daughter I gained 30 and so far I’ve only lost 10 but I’m only 5 weeks pp. I’m trying to eat less and do as much exercise as I can, which is pretty much just going on walks because my body is still weak as far as a full work out goes. I want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight this time since I don’t plan on having any more kids at this point and I hopefully it’s easier having a little less weight to lose this time

Answer

I’m back down to prepregnancy weight after only a month but I was overweight when I got pregnant so still overweight! I need to lose 2 stone to get to a healthy weight but breastfeeding is making me hungry and I can’t seem to shift it. Going to give myself 9 months to try and change my diet and lose it all. At the moment priority is eating well to feed baby and then when I get the hang of it I can start focusing a bit more on me x

Answer

I weighed 120 before I got pregnant and 2 days after my baby was born I weighed 110. Four weeks later I was down to 104. 
It took me 6 months to get back up to a healthy weight. 
I lost a lot of weight from severe morning sickness during the first 20 weeks and at the end of my pregnancy I only weighed 125.

Answer

I got back to mine a few months ago I was 120 and now I’m pregnant again so gaining it all back

Answer

I literally (well almost haha) went back to my pre-pregnancy weight in the hospital. I weighed 110 lbs before getting pregnant, I weighed 124 lbs the day I gave birth. When I went home, I weighed myself and I was at 112 lbs. I started back working out five weeks postpartum and I was at 111. My husband and I developed a workout plan to help with toning. I am breastfeeding so I tried (and still do try) to be really careful and not lose a lot of weight. My goal was 105 lbs., which I reached by three months postpartum. I still work out and eat healthy, but I've done that my whole life so it's no big deal. I'm trying to maintain my weight between the 105-110 range, which isn't hard with a healthy diet and exercise. I'm very short so I feel better with that weight range.

Answer

I'm almost 4 weeks pp and have lost it all already. but I credit that to a GD diet, because I didn't really gain that much to begin with and I'm breastfeeding so what weight there was just fell off.

Answer

Pre-pregnancy I was 120
At birth: 170
2 months postpartum: 155
😩 I’m not really doing anything to lose weight but I hope more trims off soon. I’ve never been this big in my life.
