Pre-preggo:155
Delivery:225...yikes
8 months pp: 179
Still a long way to go, but I've lost about 15 real pounds since the easy stuff fell off so it's still been about 2-3 a month, I'm just impatient sometimes!

I've lost slowly doing 1400 net.

I ate at maintenance during my entire pregnancy, upping my weight as I gained which also upped my maintenance calories by about 200 calories over the pregnancy. (From 1500 to 1700 a day).

Pre-pregnancy weight: 125 lbs. (I am 5'6")
40 weeks/delivery: 147 lbs. (+22 lbs.)

My baby weighed a healthy and hard to deliver 9 lb; he was sunny side up unfortunately but I was able to birth him naturally with no epi (the midwife kept telling me not to push to try to get the baby to turn around and get one side of my cervix to dilate completely for about 2 hours.. then she said I need an epi because of my urge to push and to try to get the baby to turn. When she left for one contraction to fill out paperwork for the epi I pushed as hard as I could (with nobody telling me not to push!) and he came out lol). I had no rips or tears, so grateful! I wish I didn't have someone telling me not to push because I know he could have been born 2 hours earlier without me suffering through 2 hours of transition hell without being able to push. Grr. The other midwife had left also to get the epi guy.. when she came back with him the baby was here. They were really puzzled trying to fill in the paperwork after wondering when I had dilated from 8cm to full, (I went from 6-8 in one contraction then stalled because the baby's head wasn't fully engaged because of his sunny side up position). I just had to push to engage that head and it dilated right then and there.

1 week pp: 132 lbs. -15 lbs (7 lbs from goal)
2 weeks pp: 122 lbs -25 lbs (-3lb from starting weight)

My belly looks like jello though I can't wait to start working out and firm things back up. I am still eating at maintenance currently but only because I'm sleeping such strange patterns.. I'm only getting 2 meals in a day currently. I am hoping that once the baby starts going longer stretches between feedings (currently 2 hours, except for a 4 hour stretch at night) I will get up earlier and get breakfast again! My plan is to just eat whatever I want, log it and monitor my weight, and keep it around 125 lb.

Do any of you guys have horrible night sweats? I know tmi, but I am sooo hot at night and cold at the same time, so I end up really sweaty. I think a lot of my weight loss had been water loss at night. I must have been holding on to a lot of water because my limbs are way thinner now and don't look swollen anymore.

Also, you'll have night sweats for a while until your hormones go back to normal. If you're nursing it will take longer!

Pre-pregnancy weight: 130 lbs...I am 5'7.5"
Delivery day weight: 152 lbs, (22 lb gain, and 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 and to running/working out regularly....so I am maintaining with 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day (I am bfeeding an 18 lb 3 monther!)

I would like to lose another 5 lbs but am trying to do it slowly....

You're a brave lady, weighing yourself 3 days after delivery with the swelling. I was on fluids and had a spinal for the c-section and I was SO swollen. I felt absolutely gigantic -- there was no way I was weighing in until that went down!

I feel it's important to add in my 2 cents, because I, unlike several of you, haven't been as lucky with it melting off:( Congrats, to those who have- that's awesome!!!

With my first pregnancy, I gained 40 lbs and was determined to do better this time around. It took me about 2 years to get the full 40 lbs off after our first daughter was born. With my most recent pregnancy, I was 140 when I got pregnant (I'm 5' 5") and I only gained 30. That was eating maintenance, and working out the ENTIRE pregnancy. Baby was 6 lbs 15 oz, and about 2 weeks PP I'd lost 20 lbs total.

HOWEVER, the last 10 lbs. did NOT want to come off (again). I've worked out 3-4 times a week since I was cleared, messed with my calories a bit (upped them, lowered them, tried to find that "magic number"), and have been EBFing. Just recently, at 9 months PP, I FINALLY saw my PP weight...of course, I'm up a couple pounds since then with vacations and such.

I just wanted to add this in because I know there's many of us who have done everything "right", and our bodies just don't want to give up that weight. Perseverance pays off though!! Keep it up, ladies:)

Pre Pregnancy - 215

Delivery - 245

4 weeks post partum - 213.2

Lowest weight: 145-150 (fluctuated between the two)
Pre-preggo:150
Delivery: 215ish - I stopped weighing lol
2-months pp: 170
6-months pp: 160
I had to go back to work at the 2-month mark so the remaining weight has been slow going with trying to figure out my schedules between work and home, not to mention the last bit won't go away and I'm thinking it won't until I'm done BF. She's out-eaten my supply since around 4-months old so she gets 10-12 ounces per day of formula to supplement what I give her and we'll be starting solids soon. I think she's excited about that because she tries to chew her bottle nipples like it's food lol.

180 - pre-pregnancy
235 (ish) - at 41 weeks/delivery
199 - 2 weeks pp
206 - 6 weeks pp
203 - last week

It was difficult going back to work & staying healthy. I actually gained weight...but, I wasn't really trying not to. After a few months I decided to get on MFP & really tackle the weight! I'm looking forward to seeing the scale tip under 200, and my goal is to reach 160. I was not happy with my weight pre-pregnancy, and I'm committed to modeling a healthy lifestyle for my little girl. I love to exercise & cook.

Feel free to friend me!

I have to admit that I was actually afraid to look at this discussion thread for fear of what it might do to my mental state. Anyway, here are my stats:

Height: 5'9"

Pre-pregnancy: 150
Delivery at 41 weeks: 195
Two-weeks PP: 175

Now my son is 7 months old. I am EBFing, trying to lose weight by watching what I eat and exercising. But, so far, not much of a loss since the initial drop in water weight. (Last I weighed myself I was 169.8, which was exciting to me, because I'd just been going back and forth between 170-175. I was like, "Hell yeah, a new digit!") I find that when I restrict calories, my supply drops, and honestly, being able to breastfeed my son is more important to me than weight loss at this point.

I'm trying to be upbeat about all the good things I've been doing for my health and the health of my son over the past 7 months. That said, it sure is disheartening to see next to no reflection of it on the scale. Lately I've been thinking I should stop weighing myself as frequently as I have been and reduce it to just once a month.

And, oh yeah, good luck to all my women in the struggle! :-)

5'5"
Pre pregnancy 144
Highest Pregnancy weight 176
2 weeks postpartum 156
10 weeks postpartum 152

It took 8 weeks to lose 4 lbs! And it was all in weeks 7-10 when I started a dairy free diet.
I'm breastfeeding...
Still need to lose and barely get exercise as little one gas colic and needs to be held round the clock.

5'6"
Pre-pregnancy weight: 154 (lost almost 50 lbs after giving birth to my first baby)
39w3d: 196 (was 222 with my first baby- so overall I wasn't to bummed about this)
1 week pp: 178 (and I stalled here for a long time)
Baby # 2 is now almost 12 weeks and I'm only down to 174

I have my calorie goal set at 1500 + 500 for breastfeeding. I exercise 6-7 days a week (walking/pushing a double stroller, riding my stationary bike, and/or an ab/squat workout).

My goal is to get down to 145, but with my first I was not able to lose weight until I stopped breastfeeding. Right now being able to breastfeed my baby is more important than losing weight. I find that if I cut too many calories my supply will drop. Some weeks I notice the scale moving in the right direction and other weeks I gain. It's really hard to not be able to fit into the clothes that I had previously worked so hard to get into, but today I took all of my "fat" clothes and gave them to a friend that is also trying to lose weight. I had kept them in case I could use them as maternity clothes, but even at 9 months pregnant they were still too big. A huge NSV for me!!!

Height: 5'5"

Pre-pregnancy weight: 135-137
Delivery day weight: 180 lbs- despite really watching my calories and working out- baby girl born at 37 weeks weight 6lbs 3oz
A few days after delivery: 172 lbs Bummer- lots of IV fluids and I was so swollen
6 weeks post partum: 156 lbs
Current- 153.4

Exclusively breastfeeding and baby is 4 months old now. Weight loss is very slow, as you can see! It's frustrating, but I know that this weight range is where my body loves to hang out, and I am more focused on eating enough to feed the baby. I usually eat around 2000 calories a day.

pre-pregnancy: 207
day of delivery: 252
2 weeks pp: 231
7 months pp: 235 (yeah, not a typo, unfortunately).

I'm EBF my babe and eating like crap, so I'm still 28 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight and still have much more to go after that. I'm starting Whole30 on 9/1 to break the sugar addiction, so I hope I have a better report for you ladies at 9 months pp

Pre-pregnancy weight: 158
Delivery weight: 181 (+23 pounds)
3 weeks postpartum: 172
4 weeks postpartum: 172 (14 pounds to goal)
5 weeks postpartum: 171 (13 pounds to goal)

Reduced calories by 200, which seems to have worked. For now at least!
