Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
I gained 52-53lbs with this DS. I was within 10lbs of my pre-preggo weight in June (about 3 months pp) but then we went on vacation and I gained 3lbs. I just got back to pre-vacation weight after more then a month. I still have 10lbs to go at 5 months pp.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
Gained 34 pounds. Lost 20 right away. The rest came off in one month.
Gained 10 pounds back after I stopped BF. I just recently lost those ten pounds after dieting for 3 months.
DD is 13 months.
My body is shaped all weird now. So my sizes are dif.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
With DS, I gained 45 and lost it all by 5 mos PP.
With DD, I gained 50 and at 8 weeks have lost 35. I have 15 to go and another 5 to get back to pre-DS weight (I had gained 5 while on meds when TTCing).
Both times, I was serious right away about dieting and exercising and it still feels like it comes off slowly...

I EBF and was under the impression the weight would melt off...well, not so much 
Keep in mind that in some women, BFing makes you hold onto weight.
I lost all but 10 pounds within 2 weeks PP - 9 months later, I am still carrying those 10 pounds!
I am focused on BFing; once I am done, then I will focus on exercising and getting my body back.
Ditto- I gained 40 lbs. and lost 28 within the first 2 weeks. Now DS is 14 weeks old and I still have 10 to go. It's so frustrating because I had to buy new work clothes.
I'm convinced it's the BFing that is holding onto the extra 10 because I am training for the NYC marathon, eating right AND EBFing. I don't think it's going away until I stop BFing, which hopefully won't be until DS is a year. I've come to terms with it- my priority right now is to feed my son.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
I gained about 40 pounds and although I didn't really look that heavy none of my clothes fit the same, the scale would get lighter but the clothes were still tight! Around 7/8 months I was able to finally fit into my PP jeans.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
I have yet to step on a scale- I HATE scales. HATEEEEE!
I was going to see at my 6 week check up what the scale said...
But I fit in all my old clothes and my body is pretty much back to normal.
But I can't say if I weigh the same or more or less as I did before I got preggo.
We shall see!!!

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
took me about 9 months to lose the weight. i gained about 50-55 pounds with DS. I work out on my lunch hour 3-4 days a week and I really watch what I eat. I dont really snack otherwise Ill pack it all back on. I fit into all my PP clothes but differently.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
I gained 45, lost 25 right away. The last 20 have been hard to lose. I lost about 10 after 6 months or so, and still have the last 10 to lose at 9mo pp. My body is not the same shape either. My belly has major muffin top and I'm not at all happy about how my clothes fit. I wonder if the last 10lbs will ever come off and if it does, I doubt my body will be the same again.

Re: How soon after DC did you loose your pregnancy weight????
I gained 45lbs with my boys and lost probably 25lbs or so pounds within a few weeks. Took me another 6 months or so to lose another 10 (I had to wear my maternity clothes for awhile) and then the last 7 pounds took a year. I was too exhausted to exercise at all the first 6 months. I really was able to lose the last 7 or so pounds by increasing my exercise and eating better when I could focus on me.
With that being said I never got back my stomach. I have a pouch that really has never gone away and won't unless I get a tummy tuck. I will never be able to wear a bikini again.
