Weight Gain/Loss
posted 3rd Nov
How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy/pregnancies?
How much have you lost, or have you lost it all?
How long did it take you to lose it, or however much you've lost so far?
Was your weight loss contributed to breastfeeding, exercise, just being lucky or what?
Just trying to get an idea of on average how long it takes to lose your baby weight.
ETA: Just realized I should've posted this in WL&F. Oh well, .

I gained 13lbs, breastfed for 2 months, only exercise I got during that time was up and down the stairs, and a few stroller walks
I lost the 13lbs instantly, the day I went home from the hospital I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight, since the 13lbs was all baby/fluids, etc.
then I lost 2lbs/week after that,I wassubstituting my breakfast with a Slim fast, since I wasn't eating enough daily.I am currenly 12lbs lighter then I was before I got pregnant!

Pre-pregnancy I weighed 155 the day I had my son I was 204, so I gained almost 50 pounds! 6 weeks pp, I was down to 180, but now 8 months pp I am down to 150. I breastfed for about 2 weeks then complications arosed and I stopped. I just take my tots for walks all the time and the weight came right off! my husband is deployed too, I hope everything is going ok (or the best it can be) for you!

I gained 35 lbs during my pregnancy. I lost 15 in the delivery room. - got down to 10lbs over my prepregnancy weight during the first month, after I quit BFing I gained 10 back. I've been stuck at 20lbs over my prepregnancy weight ever since.

i gained almost 30 lbs throughout my pregnancy, idk how much i've lost, but i'm only 1 week pp, and my stomach is already back to normal. i'm not breast feeding, either. so, i guess i'm just lucky.
