Anyone NOT losing weight? - Page 2

[onelittleone]

I WISH I had 15 pounds to go (not that I don't sympathize - just envious). I gained 50 lost 15 ... 35 left and it's A LOT of weight to be carrying around. I used to be a size 4/6 ... I don't mind sometimes ... but then I see a picture and my boobs are GIGANTIC ... like, I should be worried about giving the baby or anyone near me a concussion if I move too quickly ... I wonder how much is boob weight and how much is my butt following me around the house! Oh well at least my baby is beautiful So really I'm just updating ... the scale has not budged ... at all!

no way!!!! i gained 45 pounds and i was shocked to get on the scale at 6 week check-up to find that i had only lost 12 since giving birth. i hadn;t weighed myself at all, i thought you would drop at least 20 or so, just with baby and fluids and all. plus, the kid doesn;t even let me put her down to eat! then i did some mellow exercise and started bleeding again. ugh.
i might as well still be preggos with my weight the way it is. and even then i'd still be heavy!

Same here!! I gained about 45# and I'm down maybe 15 pounds at 8 weeks post partum. I just started jogging again this week - ugghhh. I can't fit into my "fat" postpartum jeans from my last pregnancy and don't want to buy more. I'm guessing since this is my second time around is why it's worse. My belly still looks deflated too.

The real kick in the pants is that the holidays are just around the corner! Can someone hide the halloween candy?! Pumpkin pie will be my downfall...

No more lost here either. I keep fluctuating actually and losing 1-2 pounds but keep going back.

I'm below my pre-pg weight, but not losing even though I have over 100 I could stand to lose.

I only gained 20 pounds during the pg, lost 15 the day of his birth, and another 10 in excess water I was carrying around in the next week. Since then I've either been holding steady or creeping back up.

Yeah, not losing any weight either. 26 pounds above pre-preg weight and it won't budge. And its been nearly 11 months.

I've hit a plateau. I was doing great, losing 1/2-1 pound a day on average, but now I've weighed the same for about a week. Although I saw one of my doulas today and the first thing she said was that I look much thinner, so I must be reshaping. I can fit into my pants (most of them) but they give me bad muffin top, and all of my shirts are tight because I was so thin before, so it shows the muffin top a lot!! I'm at the frustrating stage where I want to get BUSY working out to lose this weigh, I don't like my body right now, but I'm only 4 weeks post partum so I have 2 more weeks before I get "clearance" from my dr. I've been walking a lot, and have started doing some light ab work (I checked for diastasis first, and I have only a finger tip separation).

I'm 11-15 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight right now, gained 50 total.

lost 18 lbs. right away...gained most of it back. 8 weeks post partum now. I am eating a lot and am hungry all the time. I try to remember that it took nine months to gain it...trying to give myself some space and realize it will come off once I'm more active.

my weight loss has stalled out and is not being helped by me constantly being hungry. As much as I'm not looking forward to being back at work, it will keep me from grazing all day long. I seem to be craving carbs and am trying to balance that out with protein.

I'm also trying to add daily walks into my schedule but with it getting cooler I'm having a harder time. I'd really like to be down 25 lbs more by mid-February.

DITTO.

I lost 18lbs right away, nothing since. I have 15 to go to get to my pre-preg weight, but I really needed to lose weight then too

So, I have about 25lbs to go. I've been at the same weight for the last 6 weeks
