How much weight did you gain?

I'm 29 wks pregnant, gained a good 32 pounds. Curious to know: how long was your pregnancy? How much weight did you gain? How old are your babies now? How much have you managed to lose? Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat?

 

38 weeks, 60 lbs, 3 1/2 years old now, all but 5 pounds gone (that stubborn last 5 pounds are going to drive me nuts!). I didn't do anything specific, a lot of it came off easily in the first months after delivery. Just in the last month or so, I've been really watching calories & actually making an effort to get rid of the last of the weight.

 

I gained 50 pounds. I went 38 weeks and I lost it all in 12 days. I didn't do anything, it was all baby and water. Crazy, I know. My skin is still a little loose but I am hoping exercise will help with that. My babies are 3 months now.

 

how long was your pregnancy? 35w4d
How much weight did you gain? 70lbs
How old are your babies now? 5 months on Sunday (the time sure flies)
How much have you managed to lose? All of it plus 10 more
Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? Nope, having twins and a 6 year old daughter keeps me running around the house like a mad woman if I want things to get done, like cooking dinner, cleaning, laundry.

 

how long was your pregnancy? 37w4d
How much weight did you gain? 50lbs
How old are your babies now? 8 1/2 months old
How much have you managed to lose? just have 10 pounds left, it won't go away
Did you do anything specific to lose the baby fat? Nothing yet, besides taking care of my twins and my 3 year old and the house stuff. I do plan on training this summer for a half marathon. Look out last 10 pounds and belly fat, you are being evicted! (I so do hope so!)

 

I went 36 weeks 5 days and I gained way too much! I had high blood pressure at the end so I was retaining water like crazy and really blew up. I gained 10 pounds between 35 and 36 weeks, 80 pounds total. At my 6 week check up I'd lost 40 pounds and had 40 more to do on my own. I should mention that pre-pregnancy I always had to diet to maintain my size. I joined Weight Watchers after my 6 week check up and am down to the same size I was when I got pregnant, but I always am fluctuating for the last 10 pounds.

 

pregnancy length - 34wk+2days
weight gained - 45 pounds
babies age now - almost 10 mo.
weight lost - all + 10 pounds
do anything to loose weight - I pumped/breastfed for 6 weeks, and didn't eat much during the first crazy few weeks/months - didn't have time

 

pregnancy length - 36 weeks 4 days
weight gained - 50 pounds
babies age now - almost 4 months.
weight lost - 35
do anything to lose weight - I've been trying to watch what I eat and I'm going to the gym, but I haven't done anything too serious yet. I'm not one who loses anything from nursing so I'll have to diet to get it off.

 

I had my twins at 36w4d
gained 46 pounds
I've lost 38 pounds and they are 3 weeks, 4 days old today.
Not doing anything to loose the weight, didn't eat much in the first two or three weeks cause I've been so busy and exhausted. Not eating really added to my exhaustion.

I'm eating really well now and pumping/bottle feeding. Have much better energy levels now that I'm eating right...

 

37 weeks, 47lbs gained, lost it all in 2 weeks, gained 20 back and lost it again, now I am currently where I was(weight-wise) pre-twins and they are 3.5!

How much weight did you gain? 40 lbs.
How old are your babies now? 2 1/2 yrs.
How much have you managed to lose? Still working on the last 5 lbs. (and the 5 lbs. from my first...)
Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? Not at first. I went on walks everyday when during the first year, then started going to the gym after that for a harder workout. I can tell that my body has slimmed down, but the scale has not moved.

 

how long was your pregnancy? 39 wks
How much weight did you gain? 52lbs
How old are your babies now? 21 months
How much have you managed to lose? yes.

Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? I breastfed... and lost all the weight plus lost 10 more pounds by 11 months... then immediately when I got my cycle back I gained 5 pounds. Now I have 5 extra holiday pounds... though... its distributed differently!! less hips for me, more belly - ugh! I need to start exercising to lose the belly fat.

 

38 weeks, Gained 50, I lost it all but 6 lbs by the time the boys were 2 months. Now they are 4.5 months old and I still have the extra 6 lingering around.

 

I gained about 60 pounds :shok: and delivered at 32 weeks

My babies are a little over 3. It took me about a year to start losing once the initial baby weight went away. And when they were 18 months is when I started exercising again and really losing the weight.

 

I gained about 35lbs although I was overweight prior to becoming pg.

Delivered at 37 1/2 weeks via c-section

Lost 40lbs in TWO WEEKS :woah: I went into the hospital weighing 207lbs, when I came home 4 days later I was 180 and two weeks later I was 164lbs. It was pretty much babies and water. Did not do anything. Was wearing my pre pregnancy jeans a week after they were born.

My boys are 25 months and I now weigh 140lbs which is my normal weight.

What really helped with my stomach was wearing one of these. I wore it 24/7 and only took it off when I showered. If you do buy one make sure to purchase your pre pregnancy size. I made the mistake of buying a large and had to order a smaller size a few weeks later.

 

Babies born at 36 weeks, 5 days
Gained 40 lbs.
Lost it all in 9 months (although my body doesn't look quite the same)
How? breastfeeding and taking babies on walks daily

 

My babies were born at 36 weeks 5 days. I gained 40lbs and have lost it all plus 15 more. They are 6 months old now. I work out 3-5 times a week and breastfeed.

How old are your babies now? 11 months
How much have you managed to lose? 61 lbs (22 extra lbs from original weight and I didn't have to work for that at all)

Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? Breastfed for 10 months. I lost that 61 lbs in the first 6 mos. I have gained back 5 lbs since stopping BFing and cycle returning normally. Still, while breastfeeding I was always hungry and thirsty and never denied my cravings...I have to say, it was heavenly.

How much have you managed to lose? Everything plus. 50 lbs in the first 2 weeks- it was babies, amniotic fluid and swelling, which took awhile to go down. (It was hot).
Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? Breastfeed! You can eat all day & still lose weight! I'm maintaining right now & eat huge volumes of food. In the beginning, there isn't much time to eat, though.

 

i carried 8 months exactly, delivered at 35 weeks. gained 50lbs total. started out at 143lbs and ended near 200lbs.

my kids' are just over 6 months and i am hovering at around 138-140lbs. the weight started to pour off immediately and within 3 months i was under my pre-pregnancy weight. and no i do not do anything special to get the weight off. it just fell off. i'm soooo much smaller than i've ever been in my adult years. legs, thighs, breasts, waist, stomach, arms....my dad says i look like i weight 90lbs and DH says i look wafish.

good luck with your pregnancy!

 

I gained 90 lbs by 35 weeks 2 days.

I lost 40 by the day after I delivered.

I'm still 20 lbs over my pre pregnancy weight and it is going NOWHERE fast! UGH.

I had our girls @ 37w5d by scheduled c-section. I gained 49 pounds total. So far, I've lost all but about 15. Most of that came off in the first month after the girls were born. These last 15/20 are really sticking on me. In all honesty, though, I'm not doing anything really to lose them aside from trying to eat less at meals and cutting out snacks. It's hard when the weather is so cold to get any good exercise. I'm hoping that springtime will bring a good kick in the pants and I'll be able to get the rest gone....

I didn't do much to lose the first 30. It came off right away. I still have 30 lbs to lose and its been TERRIBLE!!! At first I was battling some pre-partum depression that started in my last month... which made me eat terrible. I was very healthy prior to my babies. But ever since the last month and after they were born... its like I'm different. I had a huge battle with post partum. Don't think its completely gone. But I feel 100x's better then i did the first 5 months.
Having these girls rocked my world and a huge effect on me and my life. Some of it, not so positive.
I am hoping this month to get back to my OLD SELF again and get to the gym on a regular basis and eat healthy like I used to. Good luck!

 

PS
I see that most of you lost all the baby weight.... good for you guys. But I am extremely envious right now! )) LOL

How much weight did you gain? 50lbs total before I stopped asking & closed my eyes on the scales (at 34 weeks!)
How old are your babies now? 15 mos
How much have you managed to lose? I'm 15lbs lighter now than before I became pregnant (I was 130lbs at the time I became pg, now I'm 115)
Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat? I've always been a healthy eater & exercised regularly before I became pg but while pg all I did was walk about 30mins/day. Since the girls arrived I have done no formal exercise, although I do try to get them in the stroller and walk for about 30mins every other day. Definitely regular, healthy eating is the key for me. I never go without breakfast, although often I seem to miss lunch (or eat the leftovers from my DD's plates!).

Did you do anything specific to lose those baby fat?
Not really, I've been watching what I eat since november a bit more, that's when I lost the "plus some". My babies were 7.2 and 6.4 lbs, so almost half what I gained, so between water weight and placenta's, I lost pretty much all of it in 3 wks.
