I'm 40 weeks and I'm being induced tuesday . I gained 40lbs and I know its gonna be hard to get all the weight off. But I was just curious to see how much weight did those who gave birth lose immediatly after birth and did breast feeding also help you lose weight?

    I gained 36 lbs and I was able to get it.off within 3 months..probably could of lost it quicker but I didn't eat too well after giving birth lol. Just remember it took you 9 months to put the weight on

    I gained 35 lbs total pregnacy! After 3 mnths of having my bby I only need around 10lb more.. but Im still not fitting on my pre preg clothes. I still wear maternity pants :-( only with a belly bandit to tightned them a lil cuz they feel soo loose! My problem is I went all out on hip area and my buttocks grew more!!! Its very depressing seeing sooo much clothes in my closet and NOT fitting into them!! I have noticed this week I am less bloated than before.. Im doing Zumba twice a week and I walk around all the time tightning my abs!! lol... I know Im crazyy!!

    Before pregnancy I weighed 98pounds. The day I had my daughter (Sept. 12th) I weighed 141 pounds. Exactly two weeks after I weighed 111pounds.
    I look almost the same as I did before but my stomach still has the extra skin under my belly button lol. i'm not worried about about the number on the scale though, as long as I get my tummy tightened, then I don't care what I weigh lol
    Hope everything goes great for you!

    I only gained 5 lbs during my pregnancy, and I'm down 15 lbs two weeks pp. I'm breast feeding and plan to eat better and exercise, so hopefully I can drop even more.

    Thanks ladies now I don't feel so bad hopefully most of it is just water and baby weight but I plan on breastfeeding dieting and excersise.

    I gained 47 lbs and lost it all in 3 weeks. I was very swollen from 17 weeks, so I think a lot of the weight was from water retention. I just watched my portion sizes. I exclusively breastfed for 11 months and did not start working out until all my milk dried up. I managed to drop 15 additional pounds in one month after I stopped breastfeeding...and then I got preggo again ;) when my daughter was 12 months old. #2 will be here in a few weeks and I'm praying the weight will come off as easily as it did last time. Good luck with your induction!
