I gained 60-70 with each pregnancy. I weighed myself 1 day pp with my second (my 10lb-er) out of curiosity, and had lost 30lbs. I felt pretty good about that!

I gained 40 pounds with both pregnancies. With #1, I lost all of it by 3 weeks pp and then at around 3-4 months pp I lost an extra 15 pounds. For baby #2I was still at the lower weight that I'd been at after #1's birth. I gained the 40 pounds and lost that more slowly. I think I lost all of it by 3 months pp.

I gained 25 lbs with my son and loss about 30. Which may sound good but I was only 110 lbs to start off with. I'm finally gaining some weight back as his nursing frequency slows down.

I gained 60 lbs with my first - starting weight was 125. I had lost all but 8 lbs by 11 months PP (with no exercise or diet - just breastfeeding), but then I got pregnant again!

Now I'm 34 weeks and have gained 40 lbs.

I started off at about 165 lb. Gained 20 lb over my 43 week pregnancy. Weighed 165 lb again about 3 weeks pp, but then put on 10 lb again over the next couple of months...
Breastfeeding seems to do strange things to my body!
I've lost a bit again now, very slowly, and am just about at my pre-preg weight again now. Hoping to eventually get down to about 145 lb, especially if I'm ever going to have another one.

40ish the first, it took about 8 months to lose it

50ish the second, it took about 4 months to lose it

But both times I have gotten preg again at 8-9 months.

With dd I gained 40 lbs. I only lost 20 of it post partum (and then put on more thanks to a undiagnosed thyroid problem). So I started pregancy with DS almost 80 lbs more than with dd. I gained 15 lbs (not because I tried, I really ate better - I did not crave chocolate - and I was really sick the 1st 3 mos) and lost 20 and soon as I gave birth. I've lost another 10 since then, but my thyroid levels are messed up so I don't know how well any attempt is going to work to loose more at this point...

I gained 40 pounds, and dropped about 12 pounds within a few days. The rest came off slowly, pound by pound over the next 8 months.

I was a healthy weight to start with, about 120#/5'2".

I gained 40 pounds. By two weeks pp I had lost 27 pounds. I'm now 3 1/2 months pp and I've lost 31 pounds. I considered myself underweight before I got pregnant.

With both babies I was 155 (5'6") to start. With DD I gained 55, lost 29 by 6w pp and then got down to a few pounds above pp weight after doing WW when she was 6m....came off quickly with the breastfeeding.

With ds I had trouble gaining and actually delivered at 8lbs above my pp weight! I am now 35lbs below my pp weight and ds is 11m old. This is seriously the skinniest I've ever been and I am eating just to keep up with the nursing demands!

I gained about 35 pounds both times. So I went from 115 to almost 150.
I lost about 20 right away, the rest took about 6 months. I'm one of those few people that way less now than before I had kids.. because I used to be athletic and healthy and all the breastfeeding made me waste away.

I gained about 55 lbs and lost about 25 lbs immediately, then another 15 slowly over first 6 months, then held there for about 6 months, just recently mysteriously lost 5 lbs in about a week, and so have about 10 lbs to go. I feel as though those won't go until he's weaned, whenever that might be

I gained between 40-45 lbs (I stopped weighing myself about 2 weeks before the birth). I lost about 15 lbs right after the birth and was back to my pre pregnancy weight by 3 months.... I am wanting to lose a little bit more, we will see.

#1 - 28 pounds
#2 - 23 pounds
#3 - 20 pounds
#4 - 28 pounds
#5 - 18 pounds

I lose all or almost all of the weight inside the first 16 weeks or so.
My problem is I eat GREAT when I am pregnant and not so great when I am not so I lose weight and then gain weight back once I start on sugar again
