PP weight loss??

Bent827 · June 2009

How long did it/is it taking you to lose the baby weight? I still have 10 lbs to go. Mine hit a plateau and I just started to work out but it still doesnt seem to be coming off at all. So frustrating!!

Everyone is different. Are you BF? Are you working out?

I'm about 4lbs. from pre-pg weight right now. Just started 30 Day Shred to tone up what is there.

It's frustrating, but remember, it took 9 months to put the weight on...it's not going to come off immediately.

I'm almost 6mo pp and I still have 16.5 left to lose.

I about 3 mo pp and I'm roughly 12-15 pounds from pre-p weight. I gained 50lbs, but 30 of those came off immediately - and I did nothing to spark that These last lbs are not budging as easily...and all of a sudden I'm addicted to sugar - mostly chocolate! I'm working out more now - mostly so I can fit into my shorts without buying anything new. I'm doing 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph & the 30 DS 5-6 days a week.

Prepare yourself to get the "it's only been 2 mo" and "it took 9 mo toput it on, it will take 9 mo to take it off" posts.

I think it depends on how active you were before and during pregnancy and how much weight you gained.

I gained 28 pounds and worked out until delivery. I lost all but about 5 pounds by 6 weeks; the rest of it by somewhere between 2-3 months.

Everyone is different. It melts off for some people and others have to work harder. I am one of the lucky ones. I gained 18lbs and lost it all by 10 days pp. FWIW, I am now convinced when we have #2, I'll gain 65lb and never lose any of it.

I have 12 lbs to go. I gained about 35 during pregnancy. 15 came off almost immediately. The rest of it sat there until I started exercising again. Now that I'm weight watching and exercising, the scale is finally moving in a good direction. I did have thyroid issues though after having the baby that really affected my weight loss. I did weight watchers for 6 weeks and gained 2 pounds. Now that we've gotten the thyroid issue worked out, I'm happy to see the weight coming off. I'm with you, it's incredibly frustrating! I don't care what the scale says as much as I need my clothes to fit.
