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
Weight 4 weeks pp: 190 (start of MFP)
weight at 1yo: 130
Weight after 16mo: 1152 -
prepregnancy weight 189
delivery day weight 252
post part 230
1 year later 215
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

Yeah, I overdid it in my pregnancy, without a doubt. If I'd eaten like I did pre-pregnancy, I wouldn't be in this boat! I'm just trying to get as much off as possible, and hopefully it will just fall off Biggest-Loser-style (minus the starvation, drama, tears, and angry trainers) when I wean!0 -

3 months pp: 162
I've been extremely active but my body is holding tight. I'm working on cutting down on sugar. I have huge cravings post baby. I know I didn't really start losing weight last time until 9-12 months because that's when my ds started eating more solids and breastfeeding less. Then I got knocked up again. Lol. Now I'm nursing a just turned 2 year old and a three month old. I thought I might go down faster with nursing two, but nope.
My ultimate goal is 125-130 but my focus is more about getting strong and toned. It was a rough recovery with a c-section and a lot of blood loss (I had an abruption) so I just started running again and hopefully I'll see some progress. Daily walks aren't cutting it.0 -

This will be helpful to me and hopefully not discouraging to me. I have loved reading other ladies victories and struggles for me. It helps me to know that I am not alone. I also have loved seeing so many other ladies who have the same goal weight and who are at the same weight as me right now! If anyone needs more friends to help motivate, please add me! I know I do!
Pre-Pregnancy weight: 140
Weight at 40 weeks: 175
Gained 35 pounds and exercised until week 32 and after that sporadic walks
Weight at 5 weeks PP: 152
I want to get to my pre-pregnancy weight but honestly, I would love to get to 135 or even 130 (but that might be pushing it). This is my fifth baby and last baby too. I am EBFing and trying to keep my calories around 1800 a day. I lost the baby weight so quickly after baby #1 (10 years ago when I was younger, haha). Baby #2 I didn't lose all the weight. With baby #3, I lost all the weight and almost 20 pounds extra from lots of hard work! I looked awesome and was proud! Baby #4 I lost all the weight and was happy with where I was. Now here I am with baby #5 and the weight isn't coming off as fast as it did with my others. I'm older now (33) and hopefully will be able to get it off. Eek!0 -

Not sure how much I gained during pregnancy as the scale and I weren't friends pre-preg. But here's my guess:
I'm 5'0" for reference.
Estimated pre-pregnancy weight: 138 lbs
Estimated heighest pregnancy weight: 174 lbs
6-week PP check-up weight: 164 lbs
5 months PP: 162 lbs (this was my wake-up call!!)
One year PP: 120 lbs
Now (15 months PP): 108 lbs.
I look better at 108 lbs than I did at 100 lbs when I was 17. Yay for muscles!2 -
I'm 5'4" and gained 25 pounds during this pregnancy. I was very happy about that and now hoping to see the weight fall off like it did with my first baby. Not so sure that will happen since the first time was 11 years ago. Here's my progress so far:
Pre-pregnancy weight: 122.2
Weight a day before delivery at 38 weeks: 147.4
2 days postpartum: 142.4
5 days postpartum: 135.6
I was in the hospital for 3 days due to a uti and was getting fluids the whole time so came out swollen. I know I gained weight while in the hospital bc when I came home I hadn't even lost the weight of the baby yet. So as of today 5 days postpartum I have lost 11.8 pounds Also, my baby weighed 7 lbs 13 oz.0 -

Hey. I just joined this group and was reading everyones post. I see that we were about the same pre- pregancy weight, and pregnancy weight. I am curious as to how you lost the weight. Did you breast feed? My little one is 4 months old, and I breastfeed for a month and got down to 165. I am now back up at 175. What are you doing to lose weight if i might ask 0
