2 months post partum weight gain?

Question

I gained 30 lbs in my pregnancy, lost 15 within the first week of baby being here and then plateaued, now noticing the scale creeping back up by 2-3 lbs! I’m breastfeeding and working out every other day, but I guess I have to chill on the sweets I’ve been indulging in. What are your experiences with weight loss after birth?

Answer

I am also gaining. I was down to 154lbs a month ago and now I am at 160lbs steady for a week. I don’t eat much and drink a lot of coffee

Answer

I gained 21lbs and lost 25lbs with this baby l. I’m actually underweight now, it’s kinda the opposite problem you’re having. With my first baby I gained 20lbs and lost 30lbs, and was very underweight. As soon as she weaned, I gained 15lbs. Dr chalked it up to nursing, my body just eats itself to provide I guess. I eat a lot. It’s weird.

Answer

I gained 35 lbs during pregnancy. Lost it all by my 6 week pp appt. Im at 10 weeks pp and i’ve no idea how much i weight. I dont have a scale at home but i dont eat that healthy cuz i dont have time to cook so i just eat junk cuz u can eat it with one hand and no dishes- ice cream bars, chips, cookies. I do eat fruits and yogurt to “balance” it in my mind. But im afraid to know what the scale says now.

Answer

Gained a ridiculous amount of water weight during my pregnancy. Overall I gained a total of 40lbs and lost it by day 11 pp. Since the birth I’ve EBF and now I’m down 13 more lbs at 10 weeks. I was very low carb pre pregnancy, and low-mod carb in the first half of pregnancy, heavy carb in second half, and now back to very low carb. 
This has been great but I started my pregnancy overweight (164 at 5’5), and this makes it easier to shed pounds. So far I’ve been happy with the loss but my tummy looks deflated.

Answer

I am following low carb keto diet, tons of water and I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks, now I am loosing more inches but slowly getting of 1 pound every 3-4 days. Meanwhile I breastfeed and my milk supply even increased. I also do intermittent fasting 16/8 from 8 pm to 1 pm and during that fasting time I breastfeed like every 2-3 hours and still lots of milk. 
So really will recommend low carbs (0sugars and 20 -50 grams of carbs), lots of lean proteins,
Veggies and healthy oils/ cheese/nuts/plain yogurts. So healthy and I feel great

Answer

Both pregnancies I gained 45 lbs 😬
My first I was back to my pre pregnancy weight by 3 weeks
With this pregnancy I was back to my pre pregnancy weight around 10 weeks
I EBF with both babies.  With my son I did gain 10 lbs after I stopped breastfeeding. 
Just keep an eye of what you are eating. Small changes will make big differences.  Good luck.

Answer

I gained 35 pounds in my pregnancy. I lost 15 super fast. These last 20 pounds are not budging! I fluctuate between 140-143... pre-pregnancy was 120. I’m 5’6 so my weight is still considered healthy... just not looking like I used to. I work out 3-4 times a week. I will say I crave sweets like a crazy person!! I’m not stressing about it. Baby girl took 9 months to grow, so I get 9 months to get my body back!! Oh I also had a csection so my workouts are still modified.
