Weight Loss

Shawnee11507

When was your LO born and how much weight have you lost so far?

I haven't been eating especially good but have been eating less and breastfeeding. I weighed myself last weekend and was down 14lbs. Weighed myself this afternoon and was down 20lbs. LO was born on the 6th. I gained 27lbs this pregnancy and had a c-section.

How you doin?

LO was born on the 16th and so far I've lost 30 pounds, but I gained 70 so I have a ways to go. My mom has been staying with us so I've been eating really well. I'm sure that'll change once she leaves.

DS was born on Feb. 10th, and as of last night, I was down 15.5 lbs, and I only gained 21.  So, I have high hopes!!

He was born 6 weeks ago today and I'm down 21 pounds. I gained 35 total. I feel like I'm at a stand still now and need to get my butt in gear if I'm going to lose the rest.

I gained 30 and have lost at least 20. I'm hoping that EBFing and getting  back to dog walking helps me take off the last ten or so pretty quickly. NONE of my clothes fit me right now. My maternity stuff is huge and my regular clothes are still way too tight.

DS was born 2 weeks ago and I am down 23 pounds.  I gained 30.  Today my Wii Fit finally stopped yelling at me for being "overweight".

I feel very lucky. I've lost all my weight plus 2 pounds. I was in shock at my 3 week check up!

 I am down 38lbs in the 4 weeks after the twins were born. I only gained 23 during the pregnancy. I had bought a pair of jeans last fall, but grabbed a size 8 by accident and I never returned them because I was embarrassed. Well now they fit and are actually a little loose. I guess BF really works! I just hope to keep it off!

Lauren will be two weeks old on Sunday. I gained 27 and have 8lbs left to lose until my pr-preg weight.

I gained 26 pounds and today im down 30.  I EBF and do weight watchers.

I gained 15 pounds with DS because I was GD and had to follow the diet and actually ended up losing a few pounds in the end.  I weighed myself Wednesday and I'm 4 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight.  I dropped the weight fast after my first son was born too - not sure what it's from but I am EBF'ing so that is probably part of it.

DD was born 11 days ago on 2/13. I gained 45 pounds with the pregnancy, and so far I have lost 26.  I am EBFing.

How are you finding the WW whilst BF? I did WW years and years ago, and was considering getting back into it. 

Do you feel like you have enough "points" to sustain yourself? I'm ravenous all the time at the moment.

Do you feel like your milk supply is ok?

The WW website recommended waiting 6 -8 weeks before actively trying to lose weight to allow milk supply to fully establish. 

Any other thoughts or comments??

Thanks

DD was born on the 17th of January and I have 4lbs left to lose. I am by no means happy with my body. I still have a tummy bulge that I will need to work off. I had complications 2 weeks pp so she told me not to work out at all until my 6 week check up so she could check everything out. So I am looking forward to slowly getting back in shape. We have not been eating the greatest right now either which does not help. We will get back on eating better eventually too. But overall, I am pretty pleased with the loss so far.

DS is 3 days old and I weighed in today at 14lbs down. I am still feeling swollen from the fluids I received after his birth, and I gained 36lbs during the pregnancy.  I am curious to see how my body responds to EBF and if I'll hold on to an extra 10bs or end up below my pp weight...time will tell.

I gained 16. DD is 4 weeks today. I have lost 34lbs. I EBF, and dropped weight quickly with DS, but not this quickly or this much. I am still hoping to lose about 20 more.

DD was born on 1/31 and I've lost 25 pounds so far (gained 35 total). It has definitely slowed down now (only lost 2 pounds this past week)- thinking it will take some work to lose those last 10 pounds.

I had gained 16 lbs (had gd) and as of this morning I have lost 13 lbs so 3.5 to go. My pre pregnancy clothes are fitting but my belly does bulge a bit. I have been eating way too many sweets but after eating no sugar for 15 weeks I feel like a few extra sugary foods are warranted! :-)
