Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

I am having such a tough time with the weight i have gained now that kaylee is out and has been for a month. None of my clothing even come close to fitting. I gained 70lbs from my PG and i feel like the needle on the scale is not moving. I know i am PP but this is really getting to me. I have been eatting healthy and BF and still nothing is happening. I hope i am not alone. Just needed to vent.

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

I gained 65 lbs from the PG with my son. Up until 3.5 months ago, which he's 20 months now, I still was able to lose the weight. That's even with BF for a year and going to the gym. I just couldn't lose any of it! My metabolism changed drastically from having my son. I've only recently been able to lose weight because I joined Weight Watchers. Since my body's metabolism slowed down so much I was eating too much food and didn't know it. I even gained weight after having my son.

Everyone's body is different. It just may be taking longer. Good luck!

I know the feeling Sarah. I was thin all my life and after I gave birth I kept eating & eating. It was pretty bad. I tried alot of different things and nothing worked for me except for Atkins. I lost 45 lbs. Whatever you are doing, just stick to it and you will see results. We're here for you!!! Good luck!

I gained 46 lbs with my daughter. It took me 5 months to lose it all. I joined Weight Watchers when I had 15 lbs to go and that really seemed to help. Don't worry about it. It will come off, it takes time and your body is still adjusting.

I', starting weight watchers, I too have about 35 lbs or more to lose (this is some pre-pregnancy weigth as well), hanf in there Sarah, it will come off, start walking, it really helps! Also remember, breastfeeding helps woth weight loss, but it is mainly beneficial forthe shrinking of your uterus back to pre-pregnancy size. i want to be 104 lbs again, but I know it is gonna take time.

Christopher is 2 months now. I lost 20 lbs after he was born, almost immediately. The weight literally fell right off, but THEN, after he was 1 month old, I packed back on 10 of the 20 lbs I lost. I started nutrisystem a little over a week ago and I've finally lost the 10 that I gained back, but I still have a LOT more weight to go, because I was overweight pre-pregnancy.

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

It took me 3 months to get back into my old jeans. I originally weighed 135 and I went up to 180lbs. I finally lost it all...but I know how you feel...all you want is that weight lifted off of you already. It will happen!

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

Ok well this will make you feel better but make me feel like dooty.,.. My son is 2 1/2 and I started to loose weight and then the huge change in lifestyle ( from working and going to school and ALWAYS being on the go) to being a SAHM. I actually GAINED weight!!! and 2 1/2 years later just starting to take it off!! and I gained the same amount as you with my pregnancy!! the fact that you are doing something about it so early on.. you will Def. loose it!! Its just stubborn fat!

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

I know the feeling I gained 43 pounds and it took me forever to get it off I finally hit my pre pregnancy weight when she was around 10 1/2 months and now that she is 12 months I lost an additional 5 pounds. So don't give up some people are very different but it will come off

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

Give yourself a break! It took you 9 months to put it on, don't expect it to come off immediately. It will eventually come off, don't be so rough on yourself.

I gained 65 and cried when I weighed myself at the hospital my last night and had only lost 5 pounds!!! but it came off pretty quickly after that. by 3-4 months it was almost all off. but I did notice my "shape" changed

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

Thanks girls I know i am PP but i feel like i am never going to fit in my size fives and my small tops are never going to fit. I put one of my shirts on the other day and because of my chest my normal shirt became a very small belly shirt. I am not used to having a chest at all. Thanks again. I go back to the gym next week so i hope to see some of the weight leave then. Thanks again.

They say it takes about a year before you can get your prepreg. body.
THe bones just dont go back the same way.
I would suggest walking. Its really the best thing.

Re: Kaylee is 1 month and i still have 35lbs to go.

Give yourself a break - it's only been ONE month!! You seriously expected to have lost all the baby weight just 4 weeks pp? You didn't gain it all in one month, you can't lose it all in one month.
