Heh. I gained 60 pounds during my first two pregnancies... each time. I lost the weight within a year postpartum and got down to about 125... and that was for each pregnancy.

For my third pregnancy, I gained 40 pounds and I'm six months postpartum. I've lost 30 pounds... 10 more to go!

30 pounds the first time. I probably lost 20 of that within the first month, and never did lose the rest. For the second, 25 pounds, all of which I lost within two months. However, what I do have is distributed very differently and is NOT attractive.

I gained 54 lbs! It was crazy. I exercised almost daily, didn't overeat and still gained 54 lbs! Was 5'8" and 142 going in. My daughter is 2.5 now. I lost 34 lbs within 3 days of the birth - a lot of my gain was water retention. I lost the next 15 lbs over the next 5 months or so, mostly through exercise. Still carrying the last 5, but I'm on the pill now, and I tend to carry 5 lbs extra when I'm on the pill. Most of my pre-partum clothes fit and the rest were probably bought when I was in my 135 lb marathoning days.

I gained 33 lbs with my DS, and oddly enough, only gained 35 lbs with my twin girls. I lost the weight within 6 months after my first, and 10 months after the twins. I BF all my kids, and that helped lose the weight tremendously. However, after the twins, I still have a bit of a belly (from all the skin stretching). I'll work on it as soon as I'm done BF the girls. GL!

58 lbs.
Took over a year to lose and be hot, hot, hot again.

50lbs with the first. (1 week overdue). 35-years old.
45lbs with the second (10 days early). 38-years old.

I lost 35lbs in the first 6 weeks with both. I then lost the remaining by the 4-month pp mark. I think my ribs and hips took a little longer than that to mush back--even though my weight was gone.

I exercise like a maniac. I love to run and lift.

I gained 55 pounds for each pregnancy, going from 125 to 180 each time. It took me 18 months to lose the weight.

34 lbs (delivered a week early so who knows if I had been 2 weeks late). Lost it all by 6 months but have gained back 2 or 3 pounds now that I've weaned. Definitely flabby in the middle though!

I gained 30 pounds. Two weeks pp I had lost half of the weight. I'm 7 weeks pp now and don't know how much I weigh (don't have a scale at home). But, I can't imagine it taking me much longer. As soon as I get the okay to exercise it will go away quickly. I'm also BF which helps!
