Gained all my baby weight back

jenni4091 · May 2016

Hi everyone I'm the mother of a wonderful little 3 month old baby boy and for a while i was doing fantastic lost 50lbs after giving birth. I went to my doctor today and found out I'm back at my original baby weight....304lbs. I could really use some motivation and mager support to help me because i thought i had been doing fantastic and to find out i was hurting myself was a major blow.
Thanks
Jenny

Same thing happened to me. I did great with not gaining much during me pregnancy and by my 2 week post appt I lost all but 3 pounds. After that is when things went to crap. Too tired to care about what I was eating, unable to exercise for a few months due to some delivery complications, the weight just piled on. So frustrating... I came back to MFP (was on before I was pregnant) and been working on getting back for a few months now.
You can do this, that little guy will be great motivation to be healthy!
Feel free to add me if you want :-)

Are you breastfeeding? My lb is 3 months old too and I'm also now gaining weight after losing all pregnancy weight. I find that I'm starving all the time and have no self control. Every time he naps or feeds I reach for snacks.
Congrats on your little boy btw x

I'm still struggling to lose baby weight too, from my last 4 pregnancies lol. After my fourth I went down some but then went back up like you. I'm over a year postpartum and still looking pregnant, most of the weight seems to be stuck in my midsection. Add me if you want

I gained about 50 pounds in my pregnancy which I was and still am upset at because I did so good until the last few weeks and just stuffed my face and used being pregnant as an excuse. After I had her I lost 20 pounds instantly. I got down to around 175 after having her I was 156 pre pregnancy well I know people say breastfeeding makes you lose weight all it made me was hungry constantly and I couldn't stop eating I just weaned her at 11 months and started my weightloss journey about two weeks ago I started at 186 I'm 180 now. Now that she's not attached to me constantly I have more time to think about myself and my appetite has dropped significantly. Good luck on your journey! It's not easy but worth it in the end.

I had a similar experience to a lot of the mommas on here. I dropped 30lbs right after my babe was born but gained 12lbs when I stopped breastfeeding. (I'm not sure how much weight I gained during pregnancy but it was around 70lbs) Breastfeeding does make you hungry all the time and I had a hard time adjusting back to a normal diet. I've been using MFP consistently for a couple of months now. It's hard to find the time with a little one but it has really helped me to gain some confidence back and I know I'm making fitness choices that will stick.
Any of you mommas feel free to add me.

Hey ya'll. I'm a mom of 2. Ella (6) and Will (2.5). I've been down the weight loss road before. But I'm finding it incredibly more difficult this time around. I had a great start about a year ago, but I've managed to gain it all back. I feel pretty spread thin, and struggle to make nutrition planning and working out a priority. I love my life, but I don't love how I look in it. I'm hoping to lose about 30 lbs. please feel free to add me! I love support.. Most of all from other momma's

I'm a mom to a (almost) 4 month old. I was down to my pre preggo weight a few weeks after birth but then i gained about 16lbs after that. So before I got married I was at 190. I am 5'7 and i was comfortable there. Post marriage with a husband who loves going out to eat, I was 230. Now, after baby I am 248. I wasn't able to breastfeed but was working a nightshift rotation which makes weight gain so much easier.

Currently trying to track my calories and regain some control. I welcome any Friend requests from other mommys
