How much did you gain while pregnant? How long did it take you to lose the weight?

18lbs. Lost it all by 2wks post partum and haven't been on a scale since.

I've never been a fan of weighing myself bc I think the numbers are deceiving. I've been at my heaviest when I was my thinnest as muscle weighs more than fat.

My LO is 8mo. I have no desire to lose any weight... especially since I have no idea how much I weigh!

42 lbs. I'm 6 months post partum and have 4 more to go and I'll be at my pre-preg. Def feeling flabby in tummy, but trying to work out when I can. Pre-preg clothes fit fine (odd?) so that is all that matters. Not dieting due to breastfeeding.

60lbs, lost 50...I would like to lose 35more but I'd be pretty skinny then. I like that look though.

I was absolutely positive I was only going to gain 20 to 25 pounds.

I gained 50. The worst part - I was never hungry -just sick, but the only thing that made me not feel sick was eating. So I didn't really even enjoy the eating, I just did it to feel half-human.

It took me 9 months to lose all of it, but a lot fell off in the first few weeks. The last 15 pounds hung around for awhile. One reason it took me 9 months was that I was NOT actively trying to lose weight. So it just fell off slowly but surely.

One pregnancy w/twins - gained 60 pounds - lost all but 14 by the time I left hospital. Lost the remaining within a few weeks after leaving hospital. But REALLY stretched my stomach and have never recovered from that.

I gained 30 lbs with my first pregnancy. I was 125# pre-preg. I was 130# at my 6 week appt and back to 125# about 6 mos pp (I don't really know, I was too busy too worry about it!)

I'm currently 15 weeks preg with #2. I've probably gained 3-4 pounds.

My advice-- unless you really start packing on the pounds, don't stress and aim to gain recommend amount of 25-35 lbs.

I started at 105 and gained about 25 lbs each pregnancy. Lost it right away - about a week or two, but went up one sizes in most clothes. Fast forward 5 yrs and 2 kids and I'm 115 - 120lbs.

Gained 38 and still have 9 of that to lose one year post partum. Need to lose another 25 on top of that to be my super happy skinny self but want to get pregnant again ASAP so probably will just push to lose the 9 and then go for it.

22 lbs
Lost 24 lbs within two weeks after giving birth.
Gained back 15 lbs of pure fatty goodness sometime between months 4-8.
I was muscular before birth and average weight for my height. Now, I'm just fat, because I can't work out, and I eat like shit.

I'd like to lose 15-20.
