Basically what the title says.
How much weight did you gain and how long did it take you to lose it?
I was 9 1/2 stone before I got pregnant and gained 4 stone.
5 weeks after given birth I've only lost just under 2 stone even though active now and through out my pregnancy.

Re: How much weight did you gain and how long did it take you to lose it.
I know after having LO you don't lose it straight away. But I don't feel myself. I feel fat! And nothing I do makes me feel good in the way I look.
I'm not breast feeding.
I gained 30 lbs with each pregnancy. I lost all of it by 6 months. I gained a little back this time around because of the breast feeding hungries.

Activity: even if it's just walking down the block with baby in the carrier or stroller.
I think you are being a bit hard on yourself. It took you 9 months to put it on. You should allow yourself 9 months to a year to get rid of it. Also, BF is still burning calories for me. So both times breast feeding was key for me.
Healthy snacking: fruit & vegetable. Basically prepare yourself baggies or tins of cut veg/fruit.
Nuts: great protein. A handful can really satisfy.
You may also consider getting bloodwork to check your thyroid function. Your body chemistry & function can change drastically post partum. Problems losing weight can signal a hormone imbalance.

I did try BF but wasn't for me or baby so baby is on formula now. He's on prescribed from doctor due to being lactose intolerant.
Thank you ladies I'm going to try drink more water.
So I ended up becoming very ill and loosing 65lb within 2 months and was extremely under weight And got a eating disorder over it.
And it's always been in my stuck in my head ever since
Even tho I know doesn't happen over night losing weight after a having a baby just hard because the way my dad used to be with me
That's terrible. Have you thought about getting help for this? Possibly therapy?
I second what other people have said. Lots of water and activity every single day, even just a little bit. Good luck to you.
I've drank a lots of water, going to try make a habit of it.
I'm very active I also care for my 3&4 old sister and my recently disabled mum she had a accident at work and my nan and my LO so always on the go
Hubby must have forgotten what I looked like before pregnancy, because he tells me how good I'm looking all the time. Maybe he's just relieved it's coming off at all?
