I've had 2 children and I seem to get stuck at the same weight for a while before losing.
So beginning with my first pregnancy, here are my stats:
Height: 5'1"
Pre-pregnancy: 110 lbs
Delivery 40 weeks: 145
2 weeks PP: 130
Never got back to pre-pregnancy weight.
Second pregnancy:
Pre-pregnancy: 120 lbs
Delivery at 40 weeks: 142
2 weeks post partum: 136
And I am exclusively BFing but the weight isn't melting off. My daughter is now 8 months old. I consume around 2000 calories a day to keep my supply up.0 -
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.0 -
Happy Friday! Weekly weigh in day for me
Baby girl is three weeks old, nursing is going well, we are having lots of fun! I had two goals this week : get in 4 good walks and don't GAIN any weight met both goals!
pre-preg weight: 114 lb (5'2'')
full term weight: 136 lbs (+22 lbs total during pregnancy)
1 day post delivery: -9.5 lbs (baby weighed 7lbs6oz)
1 week pp: -11 lbs (11 lbs from goal)
2 weeks pp: -13 lbs (9 lbs from goal)
3 weeks pp: -14.5 lbs (7.5 lbs from goal)
This week I had a calorie goal of 1850 and I walked 30-60 minutes each day, pushing the double BOB
How was your week??0 -
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!!! 0 -
@prplrose: LOVE your NSV of not needing the "fat clothes" during maternity. What a great feeling!0

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.0 -
Pre-pregnancy weight: 158
Delivery weight: 181 (+23 pounds)
3 weeks postpartum: 172
4 weeks postpartum: 172 (14 pounds to goal)
Over a week meeting my calorie goals and no weight lost. I'm eating too much junk and need to exercise but I don't see that happening until my big one goes back to school. I'm going to reduce my calories a bit more this week and we'll see if that helps.
If not than I might have to hang out at this weight until breastfeeding starts to reduce a bit.

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 0 -
Friday Weigh In! Baby is one month old tomorrow. I think any big losses are over, now for the slow and steady (hard work!) part. I see my midwife on Monday and hopefully will get the go-ahead to start running again. Maybe that will help the last 7lbs to come off? Or maybe they will stick around until I am done breastfeeding? I am interested to see
full term weight: 136 lbs (+22 lbs total during pregnancy)
1 day pp: 126.5 lb (lost 9.5 lbs, baby weighed 7lbs6oz)
1 week pp: 125 lbs (11 lbs from goal) - ate 2000 cal this week
2 weeks pp: 123 lbs (9 lbs from goal) - ate 2000 cal, walked 1-2 times
3 weeks pp: 121.5 lbs (7.5 lbs from goal) - dropped to 1850 calories, walking 30-60 min /day
4 weeks pp: 121.2 lb (7.2 lbs to go!) - still tried for 1850 cals, but went over a few days and didn't walk much0 -

Delivery weight: 181 (+23 pounds)
3 weeks postpartum: 172
4 weeks postpartum: 172 (14 pounds to goal)

Reduced calories by 200, which seems to have worked. For now at least!0 -
Pre-pregnancy 143 lbs height 5' 5"
40 weeks 4 days (delivery): 178 lbs
PP day 1: 165
PP week 1: 155
PP week 3: 158 (where I am now)
Trying to maintain under 160 until my 6 weeks with breastfeeding fully establishing still. I lost about 20 lbs before getting pregnant with MFP. Not really ready to start trying to lose necessarily but moreso just want to track my intake to make sure I get a healthy balance of foods with breastfeeding and recovery at this point. Haven't braved trying to get into my fat jeans even yet..still rockin my maternity pants.0 -
Not that anyone needs to stress about it, but for those who are interested or enjoy the accountability, I thought a thread dedicated to losing the baby weight might be fun. It is interesting to see how much people lose initially, how long it takes to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, etc.
Here are my stats so far, my baby is two weeks old tomorrow! We are having a blast
pre-pregnancy weight: 114 lbs. total gain at 40 weeks/delivery: +22 lbs. baby weighed 7 lb 6 oz
1 day post delivery: -9.5 lbs (12.5 lbs from goal)
1 week pp: -11 lbs (11 lbs from goal)
2 weeks pp: -13 lbs (9 lbs from goal)
I am still figuring out how many calories i need right now. 1400 for me, 500 for exclusively breast feeding? So 1900 total? As for exercise, I got in two good, 30 minute walks, pushing the double stroller. Hoping to make it three or four this next week!
Probably won't start running until at least 4 weeks; stitches are still healing!
Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying their beautiful babies!
THIS BABY...
Pre pregnancy weight: around 155
Weight at delivery: somewhere around 210

I have PCOS and it has been tremendouly hard to get me hormones to get together. I was doing a wonderful job before becoming pregnant but despite excersie and 1460 calories, plus excersie calories (which was what I was doing before) i have not moved very much. But I guess somehtin in better than nothing. 26 pound to go to reach prepregnancy weight, and 55 to reach my ultimate goal!0 -
H = 5' 7"
Pre- Pregnancy Weight = 147
Delivery at 40W (came on due date) = 189 (42lb gain)
2 weeks PP = 166 (Down 23lbs), baby was 8lbs 3oz
147 was the lowest I have EVER been that I can remember. I can fit most pre pregnancy tops, but I admit the jello tummy is a hard one to deal with. Bottoms are either maternity or workout clothes for fit and comfort. I am breastfeeding/pumping and have my settings for 2000cal/day + 500 for BF. I go back to work in 6 weeks and am hoping to start my workout regime back around that time or at the 6 week checkup.
I have been walking about 15-30 minutes at a time a few days a week, don't want to push too hard since I am still healing with stiches, etc after delivery. Im sure I burn some calories with all the cleaning I seem to do keeping up with a newborn, 3.5yo and hubby! LOL.0 -
5'3"
Pre-Pregnancy: 147 (I was 157 before my son, so this was better, but not great)
40.7 weeks pregnant: 193 (yep 46 lbs)
2 months pp (first time I stepped on a scale): 171 (-22lbs from birth)
Almost 8 months pp: 136 (-57 lbs and -11 from pre pregnancy weight).
I'm pleased, but I would love to lose another 11 lbs. I am finally healthy BMI though!
I eat 1600-1700 calories a day. My daughter is 8 months so I don't need the 500 calories, plus I'm not very active (besides chasing the 2 year old boy and the 8 month crawling girl).0 -
10 weeks pp and haven't lost any weight in at least 6 weeks. Only 7 lbs to go, but I'm annoyed that the scale isn't moving. But I completed stage 1 of nrolfw and doubled my strength in shoulder press and lunges!0

my baby is 3 I have had 3 and am slowly getting back to prepregnancy. I have lost the weight gained from baby number 3 and baby number 2.... I have about 20 more to go to get back to what I was before baby number 1 who is almost 10!!!! So you ladies try hard to get it off now!!!! so much easier than waiting 10 years and adding more with more babies. i have lost 50 lbs this year through beach body programs. turbrofire, insanity, combat, and now t25. these programs work and are so fun and motivating. anyone in need of a program??? I became a beachbody coach to help others like me who need a little extra push and motivation to get the job done everyday. follow me on facebook if you'd like. katy atkinson fitness.
good job ladies, keep it up!!!!

I know, BFing isn't the awesome weight loss tool that it's cracked up to be (at least not for everyone)! I'm right there with you on that one.0 -
I know! Maybe it would have been, if I would have eaten the same way I ate before getting pregnant...but holy cow...I am STARVING all the time! I'll wake up in the middle of the night to feed Bug with pangs of hunger so bad that I have to go to the kitchen and have a small glass of chocolate milk or some cereal just to make it until the morning...haha!Pre-pregnancy: 137
