Was postpartum weight loss slower 2nd time around? I've been stalled out @10-15 lbs. over starting weight since 6 wks pp...and I'm 12 wks pp now. Last time bfing basically took it all off,..and I could eat like a horse and still lose weight. That doesn't seem to be working now. Drat. And I even stayed steady in wks when I've exercised religiously. On the plus side, it doesn't take long to decide what to wear since the options are so limited.

That's where I was at when I got PG the second time. And right now, at 1 yr PP, I am still 10 lbs above that. So, close to 20 lbs above where I was before getting PG the first time. Of course, even if by some miracle I were to lose it, my hips are wider & my shape is just different overall. I will never be the same!
oh & I fully admit to not exercising, lol.
It was about the same for me both times I think. I BF #1 for 6 months and #2 for 4 months and that pretty much took everything off for me pretty quickly.
But I had my kids at 25 and 27, so I'm still pretty young - I'm sure that's a factor as well.
Since having #2 I've fluctuated between being at my pre-preg weight to about 5 pounds above. Depends on how good I'm doing with eating and trying to get in a tiny bit of exercise when I can.
