How much weight did you lose after you had you child?

Cause the story of me is that I had once weighed a whole 201 pounds, I was fat all through high school and college. And then I managed to get down all the way to 155 and I was so proud of me! Then I got preg and I'm 28 weeks and my last doctors appointment I had to get weighed and I'm all the way back up to 190. And I'm supposed to gain a pound every week from now until I have the child. So I'm going to end up all the way back up at 200

My midwife has told me as long as I breastfeed I can expect to lose most of what I've gained unless I've been ridiculous.
