Pre-pregnancy weight: 156
Weight at 39 weeks: 178
4 days post partum (would have been 40w!) 164
8lbs to go to pre-pregnancy - I'll track here how I do but I'm not cleared to try to lose weight per se yet, doctor's explicit instructions. But I am breastfeeding and I eat healthy, and I do have a feeling there's more water weight yet to fall off. Was still pretty pleased to see 164 on the scale...even if no more falls off 8lbs isn't bad!0 -
Pre-pregnancy weight: 122.2 (5'4")
Weight a day before delivery at 38 weeks: 147.4
2 days postpartum: 142.4 (Baby weighed 7 lbs 13 oz but I retained a lot of fluid from the hospital)
5 days postpartum: 135.6
1 week postpartum: 132.4
2 weeks postpartum: 130 (have stopped breastfeeding)
Total loss of 17.4 pounds so far! 8 more to go to be at pre-pregnancy weight.0 -

Only 5lbs above pre-preg - that feels surreal. I stressed so so badly about gaining, wanted to gain no more than 20 (gained 22)...pouted when I had 2lb gains in certain weeks...and I only have 5lbs left? Can I go back and smack my pregnant self please?0 -

Now I am really wishing I hadn't read this thread. =( Here are my stats:
30yrs old
Pre-pregnancy- 134
Weight 2 days before birth- 178 - YIKES! 44lb gain
6 weeks PP- 157
7 months PP (today exactly)- 167
I nursed for 3 months, then lost my supply. Gained 10 pounds trying to keep it. I'm pretty active and log everything I eat.
I recently cut out all processed foods and refined sugar. I'm losing inches, but my weight will NOT budge. I'm sooo jealous of you ladies that lost the weight so easily. =(
We wanted to start trying for #2 in March, but I just can't see adding any more weight onto my body at this point. SO sad.0 -
5'7. baby #3
Pre-pregnancy- 160
Weight at delivery (she was 4.5 weeks early): 200
Weight 1 week PP- 183
Weight 3 weeks PP- 183
Breastfeeding makes me hungry! I feel huge.
Ultimate goal weight- 1400 -
Weighed 195 when I started losing weight. Weighed 175 when I met my husband. Weighed 195 when I found out I was pregnant and weighed 245 when I had my son. Right now I weigh 220. This ridiculous weight fluctuation has happened in three years. Goal for the end of the year is 200 at least or even close to would make me feel like I can conquer anything.0

I was stuck between -16 and -18 lbs after baby (18 weeks PP). I started nutrisystem two weeks ago and haven't weighed since then. Stopped drinking diet coke last Saturday. I'll weigh this week and report an update. Hopefully it's a loss!0

Before baby: 125, 130 pounds
At delivery: 224 (bahahahaha)
From Nov. 29th-April 25th: 190
October 15th: 149
Total lost: 75! With 20-30 to go!
November 29th was the day I had my son. April 25th was when I joined MFP. (:0 -
Oh, yeah. And I had an 8lb 11oz baby that was 22 inches long. On my due date, so at least 40 weeks (although I'm thinking longer considering I would have conceived him on Valentine's Day). And also: food was really yummy while pregnant, so why not?0

oh the ups and downs of both motivation and the scale. trying to find my groove here. head up!
pre-pregnancy/goal weight: 114 (5'2'')
full term weight: 136 (+22 lbs)
1 day: 126.5 (baby = 7 lbs 6 oz)
1 week: 125
2 weeks: 123
3 weeks: 122.5 *started longer walking, set cal goal @1800
4 weeks: 122.2
5 weeks: 123.0 *gain, no no!
6 weeks: 122.8 *started jogging/running
7 weeks: 121.2
8 weeks: 121.5 *gain, ugh!
9 weeks: 122.5 *grr
10 weeks: 119.5 *changed goal from 1800 to 1600 cals and may have been too much too fast. noticed a dip in my milk supply.
11 weeks: 120.2
12 weeks: 122 *well, obviously I don't need the 2500 calories I've been eating this week seeing as I gained 2 lbs... kind of overcompensated for last weeks dip
going to try to stick to my 1800 (net) goal this week. 0 -
To update, I somehow re-gained almost 6 lbs (as in they came back on super quickly and without obvious explanation), and over the past month+, I lost them plus another pound.
Pre-pregnancy weight somewhere between 160 and 170 (my low in mid-2012 was 153.8, so I'd gained back a few pounds by being lax about logging everything I ate and was picking at my son's snacks a lot)
Weight before delivery 240 (I know...)
Settled postpartum weight 220
Weight almost 3 months postpartum 206.2
Weight almost 4 months postpartum 211.8
Weight almost 5 months postpartum (as of yesterday) 205.2
I am EBFing with a good supply, and with eating 1800 gross (1300 net because we aren't doing solids just yet) plus exercise and eating back most of my exercise calories I seem to be losing again. The loss I've had in the past month is the fastest I've had since I first started logging about 2.5 weeks postpartum. Unfortunately it was regaining lost ground, but I'm just glad to see not only that I'm not gaining but that the scale and my body size seem to be going down. I'll have to take measurements to see how I'm doing. I think about a month ago my waist was 32" (used to be 25" before this baby), and my hips were about 48" (used to be 38"-39" before this baby). I am not worried about my chest measurements because I'm BFing, plus they will be sadly deflated yet again, and I think I want to record upper arm and thigh measurements.
ETA that I'm 5'7".0 -

You and I are very similar! not with our actual weight, but our gain/loss patterns...I gained 44lbs during pregnancy and have only lost 15 of it and my son is 9 months old. I'm breastfeeding and am constantly starving, ahhh! We are hoping to try again at this time next year and I have about 60-70lbs to get to where I'd be comfortable being pregnant again, so I need to get a move on...0 -

Wow! That's amazing!! So cool to be back to pre-pregnancy weight so fast
Are you at goal weight now or do you still have more you would like to lose? 0 -
My goal weight is 130, so I've got a ways to go yet! I didn't expect to be back at pre-preg yet, I'm not really sure how that happened actually. I'm definitely not trying to lose weight, and I don't get cleared to try or to exercise until my 6 week follow up. The weight is nice but what bugs me is how squishy my belly is...can't wait for that to go back to normal!0

Weight gained during pregnancy: 30 lbs
1 Month PP: - 14
2 Months PP: -16
3 Months PP: -18
4 Months PP: -20
I need to speed this up...8 to go until pre-preggo weight and then 40 more until I'm comfortable again! lol.0 -
with my first pregnancy (singleton) gained 40+
with my second pregnancy (singleton) gained 25
with my third pregnancy (twin) gained 18
although the majority of both my first and second pregnancy weight came off there is still that little extra that still didn't come off. then I got pregnant with twins. I didn't gain much but it was a rough pregnancy and since there was complications the kids were use to bottle feeding, so bf ing didn't last long and then milk dried up.
currently 9 weeks PP and just barely started to feel good enough to get up and do some tummy stuff since we ended up having a c section.
right after delivery the next week or so I went 12 lbs below pre pregnancy weight and then all the frustrations that happened after that I gained it all back
I need to get this gone and below pre pregnancy weight. I want my hubby to look at me like he did when we first started seeing each other. 0 -
Will be doing this all over again now!
To update:
5'0"
Pre-preg: 135 lbs*
Highest-preg weight: 175 lbs*
6wk PP: 164 lbs
5 mo PP: 162 lbs (oops - wake up call!)
Lowest PP weight (about 15 mo PP): 107 lbs
Annnnnd pregnant again! Hope I can be as successful with the weight loss this time around
* = estimate. The scale and I didn't make peace until after my delivery.0 -

5 months pp 1460 -
Good work guys! My progress has been weird, I plateau at certain weights then rapidly lose it. I tried breast feeding for the first 2 weeks, but my son wouldn't latch.
5'3" **50 pound weight gain**
prepregnancy: 104 Pounds
Delivered at 36 weeks 5 days: 154 pounds (baby was 6lbs 10ounces of that)
After delivery: 138 pounds
Photoshoot@ 3.5 months post partum: 118 pounds
8 months post partum: 108-113 My weight varies due to the medication I'm on- also caused me to retain a TON of fluid when I was pregnant.
lowest maintained pre pregnancy weight- 98-1050 -
for an update.....
Pre-pregnancy weight: 130 lbs...I am 5'7.5"
Delivery day weight: 152 lbs, (22 lb gain... baby was 8 lbs 2 oz)
3 days after delivery: 153 lbs!...I had horrible swelling from the epidural and iv pain meds so I came home a pound heavier and with giant legs!
2 weeks post partum: 136 lbs
5 week check up: 133 lbs
3 months post partum and back to 130
Now, at 5 and a half months pp: 127....after the initial loss, I seem to be losing around a pound a month, but I can see a huge difference in my abdominal definition now. Hoping that continues! I'm pretty happy with where I am, but would like to continue toning...still breastfeeding so I am eating a ton to maintain supply.0 -
I'm 5"2
9 months before getting pregnant : 145
Started using mfp and exercising dropped to 125
Right before pre pregnancy; 125
Day before delivery: 175 (50 lb gain , even the docs told me to easy off
2 months pp: 155 (wasn't trying to loose working 2 very stressful jobs)
4 months pp: 135 mfp again 30 day shred
6 months pp: 128 running with stroller
Ideally would like to be 120 by 8 month pp, so 8 more to go. Have to make it quick though we would like to add another little one to the family soon 0 -
Does anyone else notice that your weight will hover around the same mark, but everything on you looks like it's getting smaller?0

Absolutely! I've been slowly able to fit slightly better into my old "fat" jeans, even with the scale barely budging. Which really gives me hope that when my baby weans, I'll drop the weight like a bad habit. (I'm ok if that doesn't happen but am crossing my fingers for that because I'm tired of being this heavy.)0 -
Pre-pregnancy weight: 122.2 (5'4")

6 weeks postpartum: 127.6 (started back logging this week)
Total loss of 19.8 pounds so far! 5.4 more to go to be at pre-pregnancy weight. I really need to hit the gym! I'm hoping to start back exercising next week. 0
