Tips for losing weight Postpartum?

Question

What’s everyone’s plan to help try and shed a few pounds after baby? Anything that worked really well for you in the past?

Answer

Breastfeeding helped me with my second born. I was back to pre pregnancy weight by 4 months pp.

Answer

Breastfeeding, I'm already down to my pre pregnancy weight in 10 days

Answer

I didn't gain as much with this baby as my first. I am 4 days PP and I actually weigh less than I did when I got pregnant. I was able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans to babies first pediatrician appointment today. I am breastfeeding and hoping to stay as active as possible post c-section to shape up even more. I wasn't where I wanted to be before getting pregnant, so even though I have lost pregnancy weight, I still have some to go! But I am happy with where I am at this point!

Answer

Breastfeeding. 2 weeks postpartum and I’ve already lost my pregnancy weight (14 lbs) plus more. My weight is the lowest it’s been in 5 years. 😳 
But I also had great luck last summer doing Zumba and eating low sugar and low carb. You can easily baby wear and dance. I found great videos on YouTube.

Answer

Breast feeding brought me to pre- pregnancy weight last time in less than 4 weeks.  But I was completely plateaued and couldn't lose even more no matter what. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Lost 55 pounds with my first breastfeeding (45lbs gained during pregnancy + 10 extra - no working out and I was eating a ton). Hoping for the same effect this time around!

Answer

Breast feeding, diet and exercise. I was cleared to exercise upon discharge from the hospital and am hoping to start again by 3 weeks pp.

Answer

Since having my son all I want is healthy food, I had an emergency csection so guess it's my bodies way of wanting good food for healing? Stick with whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats etc. I obviously can't exercise for a while but I've already lost 2.3kg in the past 10 days. 10kg to go till I'm back at my pre pregnancy weight and I'm 3 weeks PP as of today

Answer

Breastfeeding I’m a month PP and im down to pre pregnancy weight. But my body isn’t tight and firm like it was before so I plan to go to the gym as soon as I get the ok I had a csection so I know I have to let me body really heal before going all crazy at the gym. Now that I had my baby I’m back to eating like I use to before pregnancy just adding a few more calories for breastfeeding. I don’t have crazy unhealthy cravings anymore.

Answer

I've been exclusively pumping due to latching issues and I've lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks. Now I did put about 50 pounds on during this pregnancy but I definitely lost a lot in a short amount of time.
