I gained 15 lbs with the baby, and lost a total of 30 two weeks after having him. I didnt do anything special . . . but my mom said the same thing happened to her after all three of her pregnancies. It hasnt come back and our son is six months old.

I gained 26lb during pregnancy and lost only 8lb when I got home. Although, they had pumped me with lots of liquids while I was in the hospital (lost too much blood), so I lost a lot of that water as soon as I got home. I lost all my weight by 3 monhts without doing anything but breastfeeding and walking with DD. I started running 3 months pp, and lost another 5-7 lbs.

I gained about 55 pounds (my mom and sis gained 50-60 in their pregnancies too - we all became very swollen). I exercised until about 34 weeks and ate carefully until the last 4 weeks or so. I would have been a blimp if I hadn't! Anyway, I'm currently 1 week postpartum and have lost 30 pounds. A lot of it was water weight.

I started at 147 before I got pregnant, dropped to 143 from morning sickness, then at the end I was right around 170. About a week after I gave birth, I was 152 lbs. Most of my gain was swelling, baby, etc. GL.

loveyoubean · October 2010

I gained 45, I lost 15 immediately after... but I lost 55 lbs. by the time she was 12 weeks! I am 10 lbs. down from my pre-pregnancy weight and was never really a big girl (5'2'', now 110 lbs). For me, BFing and lots of walking totally melted it right off me. I am not BFing anymore and haven't in 2 months, still at the same weight and not gaining!
