How long did it take you to lose the baby weight?

At some point you can't blame pregnancy for that, PP.

At which point? Anyway, I weigh less now than pre-baby. Having a baby messed up my thyroid and it took forever to figure out medically.

That's more of a thyroid issue then.

This kind of thing is so common though. Don’t make new moms feel bad if the weight doesn’t “fall off.” It’s so normal to have a hard time losing weight or for it to take a long time to lose.

Sure, it's just 15 years is far away from being a new mom. No one is shaming new moms by pointing out that it likely was not pregnancy related after the first few years

125 went to 160. Took 12 weeks of working out nonstop, breastfeeding nonstop and a food deficit to lost the weight.

Took another 3 months after that to get down to 120lbs. Just losing the weight wasn't enough to make me fit into all my clothes, I had to lose another 5lbs to look the same as before. Annoying.

For pregnancies 2 and 3, I basically didn't eat any extra calories, no special treats of ice cream or anything. They fooled me the first time thinking I could "eat for two", nope. Eating for 2 only works if you never want to lose those pregnancy pounds. I lost the weight the quickest with baby 3 because I only gained 25lbs.

Also, when I stopped breastfeeding at 18m, I did lose another 5 lbs easily. (It's NEVER easy for me to lose weight)

Women need to stop blaming their pregnancies for their weight. My mom was always obese and blamed her pregnancy with me. As a kid I really thought I was responsible or that it would happen to me too. I still feel that blame decades later even when I know it wasn't my fault.

It’s a joke, doof. Nobody needed you to point that out.

Kids misunderstand jokes all the time, it doesn’t mean people should stop making jokes. My mom joked that I came from the mailman when I was little because I don’t look like either parent. If I briefly looked with curiosity at the mailman when I was 5, it’s not lifelong trauma. I just didn’t understand birds and bees and had more of a stork perception. The fact you carry guilt means you need therapy, not that women can’t be funny without traumatizing kids.

There's nothing funny about it, doof. Get a better sense of humor

About 18 months to get back to my pre pregnancy body with my first (though I felt like myself closer to 12 mos). I was a strong 112 and gained 30 lbs with both. I’m 5 mos pp with my second, formula feeding, and about 10lbs and 1.5 pants sizes larger. Pregnancy shreds my very short core and it takes a long time to rebuild with moderation (no dieting just healthy eating, regular but not crazy exercise).

18 months, but not a pound lost until I started Wegovy. I tried all the things first and nothing. It was worth my mental health.

The question of why you found that funny is what really needs to be answered. What on earth would be humorous, by any standard at all, about someone saying that it took them 15 years to lose weight (on a relatively serious post) or that kids caused their weight gain? Like what social affliction do you have where youre genuinely chuckling at the idea of pregnancy weight loss? I swear some of you guys just have really horrific social skills and then get upset when your kids wont enable that and pretend your joke is hilarious when you known damn well no one else in your life finds you funny.

I lost the initial baby weight very fast (I had PPA and struggled to eat, wouldn't recommend it). I gained back maybe 5-10 pounds from breastfeeding hungry then lost that as I weaned.

For someone who's post partum, I'd recommend focusing on restoring core strength (and related pelvic floor strength) over focusing on weight. It's far more impactful to your day to day.

Haha- same!

Very quickly, but I gained far more back when they were toddlers. Cant blame it on pregnancy but can blame it on parenthood stress and age.
