How did you lose weight quick after pregnancy? (I won’t be breastfeeding)

Question

Any tips/tricks?

Answer

I gained 16 lbs during pregnancy and lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks I quit breads, sweets,  soda and pastas.  it made a hell of a difference. I did breastfeed however I honestly think it also helps losing the weight.

Answer

Give yourself grace, you didn’t gain the baby weight quick! My advice is to fuel your body with healthy wholesome foods, allow your body to recover the 6 weeks, you can do pelvic floor recovery exercises in that time frame, and then begin to ease back into exercise when you’re cleared. Goodfortheswole on Instagram has a ton of postpartum exercises and nutrition tips.

Answer

It took me about a year to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. I gained 70lb in pregnancy. A lot of it was water weight and I sweated an unbelievable amount for months after birth. The rest of it just came off on its own, I just ate reasonably healthy, indulged when I felt like it, and enjoyed the most amazing year of my life with my baby girl. 
I think the main thing is to not rush the weight loss, I'm not an expert but I know a lot of people who have been left with lots of loose skin through rapid weight loss. For me a little at a time was better and my skin bounced back very well and my stretch marks are almost invisible now.

Answer

Literally you should not worry about it... Eat healthy,  indulge in moderation and move as much as you can when your body feels ready! I wanted to hit the gym as soon as I had my first baby but after a 3rd degree tear my plans changed lol I gained 50lbs and lost it within 6 months without any vigerous exercise

Answer

Don’t pressure your self into losing it quickly. It will take time. ❤️

Answer

It just happened. I gained 26lb during pregnancy and lost it all in less than a week. I wasn’t allowed to eat while I was in the hospital for almost 4 days because of the magnesium drip I was on, so I think that had a lot to do with it. When I came home I felt so sick still that I had trouble eating, so the only thing I could keep down were Boost shakes.

Answer

My mom said going on 3-4 30 minute walks a week, watching what she ate (bot not too carefully- chicken, veggies, etc) and breastfeeding for 6 weeks she lost all the weight and plus +10 lbs.
