STM+ moms-weight

Did it take you longer to lose the baby weight the 2nd+ time? I know I am only 4 weeks out and it takes time, I know it takes a lot of people way longer to lose the weight. But I gained more weight the first time around (like 15lbs more) and I think at this point I only had like 10lbs to go. The weight fell off last time. The only thing I had to work for last time was that last 10lbs. Right now I still have 20lbs to lose. It's so annoying because I see these friends on facebook who lost the weight so quickly, are wearing jeans a week PP... granted, they wee probably in better shape than I was before pregnancy and didn't gain as much, but damn it is frustrating. I just made the mistake of trying on my jeans... my fat jeans. I couldnt even get them past my thighs. Did they leave a twin in my thighs?! LOL. 

I feel like I am going to be wearing maternity clothes FOREVER! Also, I don't really have warm weather maternity clothes and it's starting to get warm! LOL

Anyway, I guess I just wondered if it's harder / takes longer to lose the weight with 2nd+ pregnancies as opposed to first pregnancies...

Psh. I haven't lost a pound since I left the hospital. My face looks like it dud when I was 15 too. I'm sexay... not. I need to get off my azz and work out.

I think I am pretty lucky when it comes to weight. Mine are 11 months apart and I lost the weight in between pretty quickly. This time, it took a tad longer, but 3 months out I was at pre pregnancy weight. Now I am below that. Pretty sure eping for two ki

Please don't be so hard on yourself. I never lost 20 pounds from Ds1 and then gained about 45 pounds with Ds. I breastfed DS2 but I didn't lose any weight doing that. I finally got my butt in gear at the beginning of the year and started doing zumba and c

I am about to order the tankini top that matches my bathing suit bottoms from Lands End. Last year I was rocking a two piece but I don't think it is going to happen this year. I've always had a nice stomach, too. To top it off I have these horrible, bruis

Not a second time mom, but it took me a while to lose the weight with my first (I gained 60 lb. during my pregnancy, so had 40 to lose after baby. Yikes!)  I couldn't fit in my fat jeans either and cried every day until I went to some discount sto

With my second the weight shedded off within two months of having DD. With DS it took much longer.

Yes.  The weight fell off the first time.  Second time truthfully it never fully came off.  I'd get within 8-10lbs and then let some creep back on.

Up and down, up and down these last 4 years.  It's certainly not pregnancy wei

I lost the weight with both quickly because I was walking but I then gained it all back and then some with both because I stopped walking. I've just started working out but had to take 2 weeks off due to getting sick. It's hard but you also need to give y

I gained 60 some lbs with my first, and it came off pretty easily - I was only stuck on about 10 lbs.  With my daughter, I gained a lot again, and it took forever for it to come off and I was still +20 when I got pregnant the 3rd time.  It bette

I hear ya. With DD the weight fell off and I was back to PP size at a month. This time around, I still have 15lbs before I reach PP weight. I gained around the same amount of weight for both kids, around 40lbs.

I EBF too and heard that some women

IDK yet. It took me over two years the first time and I was 10 years younger then.

Don't be so hard on yourself. My DD is over 3 now and I STILL haven't lost all the weight Doesn't help that I put on 55 lbs with her and started my pregnancy overweigh

Yes, it was definitely slower the second time around but it came off and then some. Not what you want to hear but it took a lot of time-it wasn't until over six months until my hips shrank and over a year until my body got closer to what it was like pr

Haven't popped out the second yet but here's my tip from my first time around.  Watch for an ON 30% coupon and get yourself some non maternity shorts in a size that makes you cringe lol  There's no sense sweating to death or feeling bad by tryin

I didn't bounce back or quickly nor as completely the 2nd time around. I gained 30lbs and lost 20lbs almost right away from breastfeeding, but the last 10lbs took a bit longer. By 3 mos, I was up 5lbs from pre-preg and slowly lost that by 9-12mos pp. My s

Definitely slower this time. With ds I gained 22 lbs and was actually worried because I lost too much weight. I ebf resumed my normal exercise and are like a horse and I dropped weight like crazy.

This time I gained 26 lbs. I lost 20 lbs b
