Re: Postpartum weight loss

  • I gained 40 during my pregnancy and at 17 days pp I have lost 34lbs! thank goodness for breastfeeding.

  • I gained 36 pounds and I am down 20 after 1 week. 16 more to go- but I was 30lbs overweight to begin with, so I have 46 that I'd like to lose. I plan to ride this breastfeeding thing as long as possible to lose more weight.
  • I gained 16 and have lost 17. I can fit into a few pre preg jeans but they hurt my incision so I stick to comfy pants most of the time. The weight loss is great I just worry if I lose too much I won't produce enough milk to breast feed.
  • I gained 30 pounds and am down 25 at a little more than 3 weeks pp. The funny thing was i weighed myself about 3 days pp, just curious since my baby was so big. I had a ton of fluid pumped into me during labor (my epidural made my blood pressure drop) so i only had lost 3 pounds. Once my swelling went down, I weighed myself again and had lost 17 more. It was crazy how much water weight I had.

    I still only fit into one pair of pre-pregnany pants. It will be yoga pants for a few weeks longer I think.
  • I gained 58 (UGH !!!) 11days pp and have lost 16 so far. Given I was bore line "underweight" pre pregnancy so I will be happy loosing at least another 30
  • I gained 30lbs and at my 2 week follow up last Tuesday I was down 22lbs. Haven't weighed myself since, but I'm happy, still squishy, but content. Just hope my belly flappy thing gets smaller!!
  • I gained 20lbs and I am down 32lba day 21 post partum.
  • I lost a lot of weight during my first trimester, so the day I had her I was still down 5 pounds from my prepregnancy weight. I got on the scale today and am down 41 pounds from my prepregnancy weight and down 36 pounds from the day I had her.
  • I gained 40 lbs and according to the scale at WIC I have lost 20lbs at 9 days pp. I'm hoping to start talking walks with the kids before it's too cold.
  • This was my 3rd as well. . 8 years after my 2nd though. Clean eating and working our definitely helped, as is nursing.
  • I gained 16lbs total and lost 32lbs by 3 week post baby.
  • I gained 30 lbs and I'm down 20 in 2 weeks. I was feeling down about breastfeeding and how lonely I feel while feeding her today but seeing how much weight I'm losing its not too bad. It's another perk on top of all the other benefits.
  • I had a really tough time gaining weight for this pregnacy. I lost 12 pounds in the beginning of pregnancy and recouped only that amount so at 3 weeks PP I'm actually 10 pounds below pre pregnancy weight. My belly is definitely softer though.
  • I was already over weight but gained 30 lbs exactly. I was shocked when I stepped on the scale 1 week pp and was down 27 lbs. I am now down below my pre pregnancy weight but squishy as all getout. Hopefully the binder will help some of that until I can introduce exercise.
  • I gained 40 and down 20 now 2 weeks PP. Definitely have a squishy pooch belly though!
  • I gained 22 and am down 12. I don't mind the weight that I am at now actually, but can't wait to start exercising again and toning those abdominal muscles!
  • I gained about 40 lbs and lost over half in the first week. It feels so good to be getting back! 10 days PP now and down over 15 inches... just 7 more to go! It's not that I'm being super vain about it all, I just can't WAIT to get back to working out! Pushing that carriage up a hill on our walk the other day felt like the greatest thing on earth!
