Re: anyone lose a lot of weight postpartum then boom gain again quickly?
That happened to me.... Gained 11 pounds back after losing all the baby weight. but for me it was because I didn't go back to exercising and was not watching what I was eating - it was just too much for me to plan with caring for DS so I just ate whatever

i lost 20 lbs when DS was born. By 5 months pp I gained it all back and was at my pre-pregnancy (overweight) weight again. Haven't lost it yet, but then again i haven't been trying very hard.

Re: anyone lose a lot of weight postpartum then boom gain again quickly?
That happened to me. Only gained 18 lbs during my pg and lost over 25 after delivery. But my first year as a SAHM I gained over 15 lbs. I think it's just stress and poor choices honestly, and lack of alone time.
I am working on it now....yeah, now that DD is 3.5 and I finally have alone time to think about me while she is in school.

DD is 11 weeks old today. By 8 weeks I had lost 30 pounds but that was about it. My weight loss has come to a hault. I joined weight watchers which I think has made me more aware of what I'm eating but I haven't had the time to really concentrate enough to stay on plan long enough to see more weight loss.

You are not alone! I was so happy that I was down 5 extra pounds after having DS, but have since gained it back and then some. I don't have the time or energy to exercise like I used to and I haven't really been watching what I'm eating, using BF as my excuse. I'm hoping to be more in the mind frame to lose weight again soon.

Re: anyone lose a lot of weight postpartum then boom gain again quickly?
Yes I lost 25lbs by the time dd was 3 weeks. Than at my 6week check I was up 8lbs. I am also already over weight and cannot afford to gain. I joined WW and I'm doing really well. Losing 2-3lbs a week. I'm on a mission to get healthy for my girls now!

Re: anyone lose a lot of weight postpartum then boom gain again quickly?
I was 13 lbs away from being my pp weight. I went back to work and lost all control and gained 20lbs (I was the weight I was when I was 40 weeks Pregnant) poor food choices and no exercise, eating out for breakfast and lunch. I finally stopped and I am on a special diet and lost 25 lbs. Close to my PP weight and I plan to lose much more.
