Weight Gain & Loss

I read that it takes 9 months to gain preggo weight & 9 months to lose it. I was wondering if that was really true. It was for me during my first pregnancy.

I have a (geesh) 20 year reunion coming up at the end of July. I had my second baby May 14. I was wondering if anyone has lost their pregnancy weight in less time than 9 months. Also, how much weight did you gain?

I will go first:
For my first pregnancy I gained 40 lbs. and it took me 9 months to lose all of it. For my second pregnancy I gained 48 lbs. I am 3.5 weeks PP and have 25 lbs. to go....

Its different for all women. I gained 75 poundfs when I was preganant. It took me about 4 months to lose 60 pounds. I have stayed the same weight since because I am lazy.

I still have 8-12 pounds to lose (based on the day, lol) and gained 59 while pregnant. I only recently started working out again (walking & jogging) so it is still going to take me a while to get to where I want to be. Oh yeah, it's been a little over 11 months.

I personaly don't think it's true! I was 150 pre preggo ( Iam 5 5') when I went in to have my daughter I was 203-204. Iam now almost 6 months PP and by the time I was 3 1/2 months PP I weighed 150. Today I weigh 140-143 ( weight fluctuates from a.m to p.m.). And I haven't exercised a day yet! So really it's all in the effort and diet! I'm sure if I did go to the gym I could shed another 20 pounds easily and tone up alot....but I think everyone is different & it all depends on effort and determination  I have post partum pics in my albums if you want to take a look! I still want to lose more and of course tone up alot!

I would love to be able to lose all or most of the weight in 3.5 mos... I would even be happy if I could just lose 10 more before my reunion. I did weigh myself this morning... I am down to 23 lbs left to lose... I am breastfeeding and I started walking 2 miles in the morning. I think I could do more, but I am still in a fog most of the time because my newborn still hasn't regulated her sleep...

You look awesome girl! I am jealous!

I was 170 at 8 weeks for my first check up, and the day I went into labor I was 208. Then the day I went home I was still 208, and now 6 weeks pp I am 166.

yeah it's hard when your baby is new and doesn't have her sleep pattern down! Iknow you can do it though  And even if you don't lose the whole 25 pounds by your reunion I know you can lose at least half and feel fantastic! then of course continue on
