Moms Who Gained More than 40lbs while PG...

DesignsOnYou · July 2009

I gained about 45 lbs ::shudders::

I've only lost 22 leaving a good amount for me to get rid off.

Was it easy for you? When did you hit your goal? Did BF'ing hurt or help?

For what it's worth, I never got grief from my MW about the weight and surprisingly, (I have to AW this ;-) didn't get any stretchmarks, weird huh?

(Btw, I'm reposting this on 0-6 too)

I have lost all 50 lbs plus an additional 5. BFing has certainly not hurt.

I'd tell you but I don't want you to throw anything at me.

I gained 50 pounds, and I have lost all but 10. I have been breast feeding the whole time (he's now 8 months old). I think it has helped, but I have never, ever lost weight easily in my life, so I kind of figured it would be the same post baby (plus, now I'm 35.) Despite having the extra 10 pounds still, I'm fitting back into my pre pregnancy jeans already, so that's good.

At least spill your secret! ?You looked incredible in a pic you posted recently.?

There's no way you gained 40. You looked skinny your whole PG (you jerk ;-P)

I gained 45. I'm now 3 lbs. from pre-pg weight. I think a lot had to do with me working out throughout the pg ...other than that I have no real secret. I have started working out again, but I slacked majorly for the first 3 months post pg. Just lucky I guess. Please don't hate me.

ETA - K has been EFF from almost day one.

I gained right around 40 lbs, and I have lost it all plus about another 5. I definitely give BFing all the credit because I really don't have the time to work out much (besides walking) and I eat like crap for the most part. Embarrassed I am worried that I'm gonna start to put on weight when I stop BFing

Good luck!

Wow, that's awesome.

I worked out all PG as well.

Of course, I promptly followed up those workouts with Blizzards =/

Formula fed too?! ?Now I do hate you. ?;)

I worked out half of pregnancy, so maybe that will help.?

This post gives me so much hope!

With my first pregnancy I put on 50 lbs, and I didn't actually lose all of the weight until after I stopped BFing, I just always felt so hungry when BFing. with my second I put on 25 lbs and lost it quite quickly, putting some back on after I stopped BFing. I think chasing a 2 year old helped out when preg with the second.
