How quickly did weight loss go the 2nd time?

craziheazo

I still had about 10 lbs left to lose after having DD (I only gained 25 too... I hate PCOS) and am wondering if the weight came off any easier the second time?

TIA!

For the weight came off at about the same rate - I nursed #1 for 6 months and lost the last 10 pounds after I stopped.  With #2, I didn't nurse and it took me about 6 months to get back to my pre-pregnanacy weight.  Granted, I have lost the weight but my body shape is totally different than it was before the second pregnancy.  After #1, I looked pretty much the same as I had before but with #2, the boobs sag way more and the little baby belly part is still there.

It took longer for me but... I also nursed longer.

I can't really drop the last 5-10 lbs while nursing or my supply tanks.

But... it came off VERY slowly post-weaning #2.  I had to work out to get rid of the last of the belly roll and thighs and I didn't have to with the first one.

Go figure I'd just gotten to a weight/size I was happy with when we had a shocker BFP that didn't stick around so now I'm back to struggling with trying to get it back off again.

I don't even want to think about this...I've got most of #1 and whatever I gain during #2 to lose. Ugh!

Eh, about the same for me....

After having DS I still was up 15-20 lb's from my normal weight when I got my BFP for DD.

I was back to this weight 2 weeks after having DD so I started WW and doing 30DS everyday. I've only lost 3 lb's so far =/

I'm not huge (size 8) but I want to fit back into my old clothes and it's not happening. I told DH, maybe I'm at my NEW weight. Ughghg.

My son is 3 weeks old and I have 6 pounds left to lose of baby weight (I gained around 35).  I think I have actually dropped the weight more quickly than with my daughter - at least so far.  Non-baby weight there is a whole lot more to lose....

I am still newly pp, but am having issues getting the weight off!! I FF, so that doesnt factor into things. I had 10 pounds left to lose when I got pregnant too...and now I have about 25 pounds to lose to get back to pp weight. I have started the south beach diet and just started back at the gym...I will let you know how it goes!!

DD#2 - I gained 24lbs also and lost it by 2 weeks PP

DS - I gained 18lbs and lost it by 2 weeks PP

I was back to my pp weight after #1 (had put on 35lbs) after 6 weeks.

I am still 10ish pounds over my pp weight from #2.  It has been much harder for me.  Usual reasons: skipping breakfast, eating poorly, lack of proper rest and strenuous activity.

My body is much different than after #1.  Softer.  Saggier.  I think I need to do about 350 crunches a day to get my waist back.

MUCH faster. I did not lose anything of the 50 I gained the first time. Lost 32 in 5m this time.

I agree with most of the PP's...it came off faster the 2nd time.  I gained about 50 pounds both times.  I lost 30 or so instantly after giving birth both times, I lost 10 more by about 5-6 months, and have about 10 more to go (which I hope will go when I wean DD at a year).  Last time I was already PG again and lost the last 10 when I weaned.  I was at PP weight for about a week before I started gaining again with #2...so far, not PG again and I don't plan on it before DD turns 1!

I have just now lost all my baby weight.  I didn't have enough time in between pregnancy to get down to my pre pregnancy weight and am just now there and DS#1 will be three in November.
