PP weight issue. :(

I'm 5 months PP & breastfeeding. Sadly it seems that I've actually gotten bigger and I can't seem to lose it. It's so depressing...none of my clothes fit anymore even the ones that fit when I was pregnant. I did have a mirena in, but it fell out about a month ago or maybe a little less. My grandfather tells me I'm fat, huge, look pregnant again...my hubby tells me I'm not "fat" that I'm "plump." My grandmother even looked at me and said "You're just never going to lose your baby weight are you?" (She's not exactly skinny herself!) I just want to lock my self in the house and never leave! Why can't people just keep their mouths shut instead of always trying to make me feel like smurf about myself.   I guess I just needed to vent!
5 months pp

Maybe your body is like mine, I don't lose the weight till I wean.



Hang in mamma!

Don't let ppl bring you down....you are emotional enough being pp...
The weight will come off on its own time I suppose.
I'm 5 mths pp too...and I still weigh over 190 Ibs...I'm not worried.
You look good...healthy and happy...just enjoy ur lil baby and don't worry about what others have to say...they probably have ALOT to say about everything anyhow.

I bfed for 16 months and didn't loose any weight after 6 weeks. I was starving constantly the whole 16 months. I'm sorry your family are being dicks about it, that's very rude of them.

Number one, you aren't fat, you have fat, as does every other person in the world. Don't let that define who you are.

Number two, it says more about them with the comments that they make than about yourself, because weight can be lost, but being ugly and cruel with words sticks around in memories and the pain it causes.


Hang in there, weight gain sucks but remember your body created life and that is a beautiful thing, and you are beautiful! If you are ready to make changes to lose then you can, but if you aren't ready to make that step, focus on your baby and do it when you can.

girl im 11 months pp and am just now starting to loose the weight! i was 120 when i got prego and at delivery i was 169. almost 50 pounds gained! i have been stuck at 154 up until about 1 month ago (10 months pp) and now that im at 11 months pp i have lost 5 pounds so far. i think its just from stress n not eating as much. i dont kow why the weight didnt fall off like others said it would, i breast fed up until 9 months, then my lo self weaned. it will come off. maybe take lo on walks around the neighborhood a few times a week. but walk at a faster pace.
