BF moms that lost a lot of weight with #1...how bout #2?

I EBF DD and I ate like a horse and had lost all my baby weight and then some by 9 weeks PP. I am hoping that the same thing happens this time around. Anyone have any experience with this?

I had the same plan so I put more weight on and I really never lost it. It was a shock to me because I thought it was going to be easy. I hope you fare better than I did!!

yup I lost it all and then some after #2. Didn't think it would happen but it did. I gained a little over 40lbs with each pregnancy. Lost it by 10-11 months with #1, and lost it all even sooner with #2 (around 7-8 months or so). It will happen, give it some more time
ETA: I didn't BF at all with #2

With my first pregnancy, I gained 19 lbs. and by 2 weeks PP, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. This time, I gained 36 lbs. and last time I weighed myself (which was about a week ago, at 2.5 weeks PP), I was 5lbs. above my pre-pregnancy weight. I can let you know in a few more weeks if the rest comes off!

With my DD, I gained 26 lbs. And by the end of the week after she was born, I had lost almost 49 lbs.

Well, sad to say, my body figured out the trick for next time...and it took me about 16 months to get back to my PP weight
