So...how much weight did you lose so far?

[Yin Yang]

Since I was the original poster of the famous thread "how much wieght did you put on so far..." I thought I'd start a new one on how much weight has everyone lost after they had their baby!

I wanna hear some inspiration since I am still BIG and HEAVY! I can't wait to lose all that weight.........I find myself looking at other women and hoping to look like them real soon!

Let me preface this by saying, I am nursing two children this time and the weight last time came off much more slowly. My goal weight while nursing is 125-130 (my breasts weigh 6-8 pounds when full and I'm taking that into account). My last weigh in while in labor was 158. I weigh 141 right now so I've lost 17 pounds and have about 10-15 left to go. I am 8 days pp. :

The last time I weighed myself was at 12 days PP and I had lost a total of 27 lbs. (17 of that was right after labor). I had gained 40, so I'm only up by 13 lbs (I 2nd the comment about most of that being in my boobs : )!! I don't think that's too bad. I'm also only 2 pants sizes up from my pre-PG body.

I envy you guys!! It feels like I'll never get there at this point.....:

After the birth of my DS I lost 20lb!! Just the birth alone!! The next 20lb and more actually went off so fast it was amazing! I can't wait....

[Miss Juice]

Celeste, how do you weigh your breasts?? I'm mostly kidding (I'm visualizing serious scale acrobatics here) but I have wondered how people know how much their boobies weigh, empty vs. full etc.

[Still_Snarky]

I just had my husband guesstimate for me!

[mimi_n_tre]

I've lost 20 so far. I still have 12 more to go. With DS1 I gained 17 pounds and it was off within the first week. I'm not so lucky this time. Plus I weighed 23 pounds more than with him, so I have a lot of weight to lose if I want to get back to that point. It was so easy to diet, okay starve, myself before kids. Now whenever they have to eat, I have to eat along with them....

I'm interested in seeing what happens this time. Last time, the actual baby weight came right off not long after giving birth, it was all the weight I'd gained before getting pregnant that I had to work to get to come off! Which I did. Right now at over 9 months pregnant, I weigh the same as I did before I conceived DS1. So we shall see what happens.

[CalebsMama05]

33lbs so far (total gain was 56lbs)

[mum2tori]

I gained a total of 53 pounds with this pregnancy. I'd lost 17 by 6 days postpartum and seem to be holding right there. : But my boobs are HUGE and I'm starving all the time.

[MsGrizzle]

Breastfeeding rocks. I gained around 40 pounds (an estimate since I stopped weighing when I hit 35 pounds) and I now have 9 pounds to go to pre-preggo weight. I'm 18 days postpartum. Of course, I was overweight to begin with, so I have about another 50 on top of that to lose! :

[Quagmire]

Well as of this morning I've only lost 11 lbs. Considering the baby was almost 8.5 lbs of that, it's a little disappointing. Then again each of my boobs are now the size of my baby's head so perhaps there's a little weight stored in there too. I'm not quite 3 days post partum so we'll see what happens. I can't remember how long it took me to fit in my clothes after DD1's birth, but it was under 2 weeks. Belly is taking noticeably longer to shrink this time.

[Max'sMama]

Wow, 2 weeks! W/ my first it took me months to fit into my 'normal' clothes. I didn't weigh myself until almost a year later. W/ Neva, I have about 15 lbs to go (as of last friday), but it will take me months to get firmed up in the lower portions of my body and that's ok!

[CamsMama]

At 23 days pp, I've only got 3 more lbs. to go to my pre-pg weight. I gained 28 & have lost 25. But, now the real work begins. I was 40 or so lbs. overweight when I got pg. I'm hoping to lose that as well. I wish it was this easy! My pregnancy weight has come off really quickly both times.

[PrettyBird]

I'm now about 10 lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight (I gained approx 25 total). My tummy is still not flat and my boobs went from a C cup to an F cup and my hips are wider, so I am not expecting to be that skinny again any time soon. I am only 9 days pp so I'll give myself a break!

[bugnbean]

I was 153 at my last pg weigh in. And 131 yesterday...so 22 lbs off at 11d PP. I'm hoping to stay around 130'ish...I went into this pregnancy grossly underweight.

[Mama Dragon]

I was 3lbs less the my pre-pg weight at 14 days PP. I till have 15 to go to lose what I gained after quitting smoking... hopefully BFing will kill those lbs.

Good luck and hugs to everyone not yet at thier goal

[fenwickmama]

not sure of weight(post partum doc visit tomorrow), but as of baby's first ped visit (6 days post partum), i had my pre-preg jeans on-woohoo! now, my boobs are fuller so who knows as far as actual pounds...

[Sandrine]

I think i'll weight myself tomorrow.

I do know that i am able to wear a pair of short that i could wear pre-pg. I was totally happy about that. I'm guessing that the weight that i gained(about 20ish lbs) is almost gone. It was like that with dd2. I lost the weight i gained pretty fast.

[Quagmire]

So in addition to having a jelly belly (shrinking, but still soft and poochy) I'm having a hard time finding my stomach muscles underneath the pot. Even when I try to harden my belly I'm feeling around and nothing. Anyone know what it feels like when your abs separate?
