EBF Mamas! How much wait did you lose PP?

Question

To my fellow Exclusively Breast Fed (EFB) baby mamas, I'm curious how much weight you've lost PP (Post pregnancy). Many have said they're eating more to keep up with demand, but others feel normal. Comment it share as needed and if you work out! I don't and have lost 10lbs in addition to the baby weight. I feel good about that! 😌 no matter what, know that you're beautiful and doing an amazing job!

Answer

I am going on 11 months breastfeeding this week, I barely lost any weight until 6 months pp and it all fell off by 9 months pp with an additional 3 pounds. 130->170->127 and I’m 11 weeks pregnant now and still 127.  Also I’m 5’6 for reference.

Answer

Trust me as long as you are exclusively breastfeeding, it will probably come off. Mine basically came off in the hospital. However, most mommies, especially the ones who EBF shed weight REALLY fast! 👌🏾

Answer

All of my weight basically went away in the hospital. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I weighed 124 the day I delivered. The day I was discharged, two days later, I was 112. By three weeks postpartum, I was back at my pre-pregnancy weight of 110. I wanted to get down to 105, which I was able to do in about three months. I didn't want to put a lot on my body. I did eat a little more, however, my husband and I eat very healthy so maybe that helped out as well. I resumed my workout regimen at six weeks postpartum, but it was just to basically to tone. My husband developed a plan targeted at toning, which was basically the same regimen I had been doing.

Answer

I’m 2 weeks pp and have lost my pregnancy weight of 25 pounds already.

Answer

I’m 16lbs down at 3 weeks pp.

Answer

My baby is 10 weeks old. Ive lost all the baby weight plus 15 pounds without exercise. Just normal mommy duties. Ive never felt so good in my life and im going to keep it up.

Answer

With my first, I gained 30 pounds. I lose 15 pounds within the first couple of weeks. The remaining 15 pounds came off over the first couple of months as I worked out and was ebf. With my second, I also gained 30 pounds. I again lost about 15 pounds within the first two weeks or so. The rest has been slowly coming off with time, ebf, and exercise. In my opinion (from observing myself and friends), ebf will not make you lose weight magically but will help. Exercise is needed to lose all weight and tone muscles back up

Answer

I'm down 20lbs at 7 weeks but I lost weight while pregnant because I was so sick

Answer

I only had baby weight. 20 pounds total. It was all gone within a week of giving birth.

Answer

I lost the baby weight plus a few extra pounds (amniotic fluid and placenta, presumably) right away... And have lost nothing else since. I’m 3.5mos PP and I’m so frustrated. And sick TO DEATH of my maternity pants. But I refuse to buy other clothes, because it seems like giving in, and I’m hopeful I’ll still lose the weight.
