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

Question

I’ve gained 35 lbs so far. I’m short so it kind of just stacks on me like a stack of pancakes 🥞. I’m literally ready to pop this baby out. It’s been fun. Lots of sleepless night because of backaches, never ending uncomfortable positions, lots kicks to the ribs BUT I’m ready. I miss my body being my own. 😤. It was fun sharing. I. Want. It. Back. Now. 
With that being said, how long did it take you to lose baby weight? Was it harder or easier? Any tips? Anything honestly??

Answer

Took me between 3 and 4 weeks to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. I didn't work out or diet or anything. I just breastfed my little one. I do plan to do some workouts to tone my body when I'm 7 weeks postpartum. Right now I'm exactly 5 weeks postpartum.

Answer

Oh man forever. I couldn’t lose weight until AFTER I stopped breastfeeding. I tried all sorts of diets and nothing helped.

Answer

1 month, no diet, no working out, exclusively breastfeeding. They say breastfeeding helps you so much to lose weight and I can prove it. I’m less than I have been before pregnancy

Answer

I don't breastfeed. I'm nearly 12 weeks postpartum and I have 20 lbs to go. I haven't found a routine with my baby yet and it's really hard to get in time to exercise. I'm working on it. I lost 40 lbs in the hospital. I actually don't feel I look that bad which is surprising because I've always been thin and 20 lbs is a lot of weight gain on a short girl. I'll be happy if I lose it by my child's first birthday.

Answer

I was 140 before pregnancy 170 at delivery and I am 150 3.5 years later.

Answer

I gained about 50 lbs with my first.I lost 15 right away and then another 5 within a few weeks. I tried dieting but it didn't really help. I started to walk/jog every morning in the summer time wheb I was about 6/7 months pp with my daughter and I started to slowly lose more.... then I found out I was pregnant again a month later and there went all my progress 😓😅 I didnt eat the best with her so its my fault I put so much on and thats why it was so hard to lose. I've been eating better this time around so hopefully it won't be as hard to lose after I have her 🤞🏻 i heat a lot of stories about people losing weight right away in the snap of a finger, but it doesn't happen for everyone so don't get discouraged too quickly. It took 9 months to put it all on, it's gonna take some time for it to come off ❤

Answer

13 months later I’m still 18lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight 🤷🏻‍♀️ everyone is different!

Answer

I lost all mine at delivery.

Answer

With my first I lost all the baby weight plus extra just by breastfeeding.

Answer

Breastfeeding. It melted off. I was 178 pre-pregnancy, then 202 after. When I got pregnant 13 months later, I was sitting at 138lbs.
