how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I'm just wondering how much you all put on during your pregnancy, and how long it took you to get the extra weight off. Thanks!

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

In my first pregnancy, I gained 32 lbs and had lost 24 lbs by my 6 week pp checkup.

However, I can honestly say I never lost those extra 8 lbs, and even put on more by the time I was pregnant with my 2nd 16 months later.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 45+ pounds during my pregnancy. All of it came off within the first 12 weeks, but when I started back at work, and now that I'm starting to wean my daughter, it's starting to creep back on.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

Only 15 lbs (I was overweight to begin with) and I lost all 15 within two weeks postpartum. Now, if I could just lose the rest of my weight that easily

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 30+ I lost it all the first 12 weeks.
BUT I still have a little bit of a belly.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained almost 50lbs and lost 35 the within the first 2 weeks. I have 15 left to go at 8mos pp but that's because I haven't been working out. I could have had them off by now. They'll be gone before his first birthday, that is my vow.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 30 and lost it all by about 7 months pp.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 22lbs and it was gone by 4 weeks PP. Now I am 10lbs LESS than I was when I got PG thanks to BF'ing and eating light so as not to aggravate his AR..

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 50 + lbs and lost it in about 6 weeks. I ebf for 6 months plus I had to be on a no milk protein diet for about 3 of those months. Since I have stopped bf I have not put on any weight, but I have always had a really fast metabolism.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 35 lbs. and lost over 20 of it by 2-3 weeks pp. Slowly the rest is coming off.
S L O W L Y!
Once I can be outdoors more often & walk her I'm hoping the last 10-12 will come off!

I gained exactly 30 and I've lost 28, probably within 3 months...still working on that last two six months later!

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 20 and lost 30 pounds by 4-5 weeks pp. After stopping BF at 9 weeks I slowly gained back 15. I haven't worked out or dieted well enough to have lost that extra weight.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained about 35lbs and lost 30lbs within 12 weeks. I still have that last nagging 5lbs but I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 25 during and in the process of loosing it now..

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

Too much and too long

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I didn't gain anything, but lost 15 lbs. After I had the baby I had to go out and buy smaller jeans. I am however making up for lost time now by stuffing my face with as much chocolate as I can eat on a daily basis

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 70 pounds! It's been 3 1/2 weeks and I haven't stepped on a scale yet.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained about 45 lbs and lost almost 30 lbs for my 1 week post op visit. I still have about 15 give or take to go and Ryan is 7 weeks now.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained about 35 lbs or so. Within the first 2 weeks, I was less than 10 lbs from pre-preggo weight. The last 5 took a little longer but I would say by 3 months lbs wise I was back to my normal weight but my body/figure definitely wasn't the same. Now, I am about 5lbs under my pre-preggo weight back to my "normal weight" but I still feel like I can't get my stomach back to the way it was - I still have a small pouch of that stretch skin. I am an active person but don't exercise so I can't complain.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

22 lbs all together and at my 6 week appt I had 4 lbs left to lose.

Re: how much did you gain, and how long to lose it?

I gained 27lbs, lost 17 the first week but 5 weeks later nothing is taking these last 10 off. I don't get it, I'm running on the treadmill, I stopped eating late at night and I'm trying to get to the gym at least 3x a week.
