Postpartum weight loss tips?

Question

I’m one month postpartum and I’ve been pretty depressed about my weight. Its hard to see my body this way. I haven’t lost much besides my baby’s weight and want to lose 20 pounds. Any tips? 😫 what did you ladies do to lose all of it?

Answer

Don’t put so much pressure on yourself and don’t worry so much about your weight.  It took you 9 months to grow your baby, so it’s going to take some time to get it off.  I didn’t do anything (except PT) and I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight at 6 or 7 months postpartum.  Just eat healthy, stay hydrated, and start some exercise once you are cleared by the doctor.

Answer

Are you breastfeeding? You should try to lose til after 3 months to establish supply. If you’re not then great, you can start SLOW. Food is a big thing, eat the right stuff, be in calories deficit and you will lose. But you’re only 1 month PP. it took 9 months for a baby to grow. Take it slow.

Answer

Some lose faster than others, I’ve never had any issues losing weight after birth, but it’s definitely all about calories in vs. out. If you aren’t exercising, what you eat will greatly determine your weight loss, if any. If you eat in a deficit you will lose. There are so many factors. If your exercising or BF then there is a little more wiggle room in calories. It takes hard work and discipline. I just bought my whole family Taco Bell tonight and I got nothing. I’m having a can of veggie soup and carrots for dinner 😞 it sucks but if you want something you’ll make it happen good luck!

Answer

It’s hard looking in the mirror nowadays.  What I have been doing is just going for walks and watching what I eat.  With this pregnancy I gained 36lbs 😩.  I know it will take some time.
