weight loss after pregnancy

I'm losing after baby number 4. I gained 60 lbs with no1, 55 with no2, 35 with no3, and 55 with no4. I lost all my weight with each of them, usually took between 9 mo-1 year with mostly going back to my regular habits and not really dieting. With number 3, I lost all but 4 lbs after about 6 months, then that came off almost instantly when I weaned him at 14 mo. I'm 35 weeks pp now and have 18 lbs left.

6 weeks pp?? Definitely had a belly over here! Still do, though it has shrunk. It will go down, though! You may still have some loose skin even back at pre preggo weight--I did after no3. Be sure and check if your abs have separated --if they have, research what exercises you need to close the gap.

Gained 60lbs with both babies. Never quite lost all the weight from baby number one (still had about 15lbs to pre-preg weight, 25lbs to goal weight) before getting pregnant with baby number two. At exactly nine months pp, I'm under my pre-pregnancy weight with baby number two and I'm about 13lbs from my pre-pre baby weight, aka my Goal Weight. Mine has been CICO entirely. I still eat desserts and drink my wine. I consume less than I burn and I took up running a few months ago.

I'm 8 week pp after baby number 2 and my second c-section. I go back to work in 4 weeks and don't fit in my pants at all! I'm trying to stick as close to 1200 calories a day as I can. I'm working out when I can, but it's not as often or intense as it should be. I know it takes time, but I have to go back to work without buying new clothes! Any suggestions would be welcome!

I'm 18 months pp and am 5 lbs from my pre preg weight. I do have bit of a belly but it is going away slowly with a clean diet and exercise.

I gained 70 pounds with my baby. At 6 weeks PP I thought I was always going to be fat and flabby. It's not the case though! At 9 months PP I have ten pounds to go before prebaby weight. It's a slow slow process but have no fear things go back to normal

I gained 55 w no1, 60 w no 2, 35 w no 3, and 55 w no 4. I've lost it all, each time, by about a year. I usually have a stubborn 3-5 lbs that hang around until I wean them.

Baby 4 is 3 mo today and I have lost 40 of the 55lbs I gained. 15 to go! I still haven't attempted to put on any pre pregnancy clothes--stretchy maxi skirts and dresses and some tshirt a from Target are working well to bridge the gap bt maternity and regular clothes.

Your belly will go down, don't worry! It may take a while, but it will happen. I was 21 when I had my first baby, now due with my second in Jan! I was already a little overweight before having my first son. I'm about 5"1 and weighed around 150 I think. I didn't look big though, but the weight collected most around my tummy, hips, and butt. I gained a ton of weight with my first and was over 200lbs! After having him 6 months pp (weighing around 160 lbs, I think nursing really contributed to the weight-loss at that moment) I seriously started exercising 5x a week and went on a calorie deficit. I did mostly cardio for about two months, then hit a plateau. After some researching, I began adding weight lifting regularly to my cardio. I got down to about 145. I wanted to be 130 at least, but the numbers on the scale didn't move. I started taking my measurements and that's when I saw I was definitely making progress! The inches had come off and I looked slimmer and my muscles were tighter. It takes time, but make a realistic plan and stick with it!

It takes 9 months to stretch your belly, and in my experience, 9 months for it to shrink as much as its going to.

Gained 60 pounds with both my pregnancies. I'm still 15 pounds away from what I weighed before I had my first child but I'm 10 pounds lighter than what I was before I had my second child. I was 23 with my first child and 29 with my second.

has anyone notice their hips going down and thigh area losing fat.. if so how did you get that to happen! ! lool

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as fat loss spot reduction. Meaning you can't say, "I only want to lose weight in my thighs, so I'm going to do 100 squats!" It's not going to happen. Eat at a calorie deficit and it will come off.

I gained 28lbs this time, I am 6 weeks post natal and I have lost 21lbs. Unfortunately I already needed to lose weight and so have 66lb to lose still. If anyone would like to help motivate me that would be super!
