When did you get back to your pre-preggo weight?

[Lovn.sunshine]

9 months PP and I still haven't lost and kept the weight off. I gained 60lbs [pre-e and bad eating habits]. A week post delivery I had lost 20lbs of water weight. Then I ended up gaining it back. Pre-pregnancy I was 140lbs - day of delievery I was 205lbs. Today I am 202lbs I'm 5'10'' so people tend to say I look fine, but I KNOW I'm not comfortable staying this weight. I never expect to have my pre-preg body back but to at least get down to 160 and get my bmi back to a healthy point would make me happy. I've struggled with weight my entire life though.

I gained 2 stone and lost it by the time my baby was 2 weeks.

I still have wobbly bits now though even though I weigh less than I did before I was pregnant xx

Those wobbly bits will prob be there forever! You might get back to pp weight...but your shape completely changes!

I know me and my partner have recently started exercising together help the tummy bulge fingers crossed it works.

If not I know it'll have been worth it to get my little man xx

I ended up below my pre-pregnancy weight. I was 10st 4lb and ended up going down to 9st 2lb. I managed to get back up to 10st but it took over a year and a half to do so.

About 3 months after my son was born but I didn't gain much last pregnancy (can't remember how much I gained but it wasn't a lot and I was dead skinny.

gaining more weight this time though so I think it will take longer!

I was overweight to begin with so I only gained 14 lbs; at my one week postpartum checkup I was 5 lbs under my starting weight. So probably right after the birth. Probably won't be so lucky next go around!

It took me 6 years (yes, YEARS!) to get back to and then below my first pregnancy weight. I got up to 95-100 and stayed there until last year. I started at 74kg with number one child and am now down to 60kg finally after a huge effort last year to shift it. I'm now pregnant with my fourth, who knows what will happen this time

I gained 37lbs... and lost 20 straight away (after birth). But took about 6mos PP before I was back at my Pre-baby weight (just eating better and getting back to the gym and such after my section). Then, since I was already in the groove, I got really serious and decided to lose the additional 15lbs I'd been carrying around for year (via loseit app). That took another 6mos to lose that weight. Then I gained a few back (oops) then re-lost them... yup.

I'm currently 5lbs above my original "goal" weight- but not worried as much about a number as how I feel and look. I've stepped up my workouts the past year and I see more muscle and toning. I'm honestly in better shape now than I was pre-baby! Guess that was what it took to get me to finally be serious about it! That and turning 40! I wanted to feel/look better at 40 than I had at 30! Go figure.
