Baby Weight - How much did you put on? Have you lost it?

suzanne108 · Mar 12th, 2010, 04:00 AM

Well, I absolutely LOVE food (especially naughty things!) but since I was about 15 I've been on a diet so I do have a few food issues and when I was pregnant decided that it was my oppurtunity to stuff my face. Man do I regret that!

I have gone from about 9 stone to nearly 13 stone

Soooo......I know most people probably didn't pig out as much as me but I have questions:

How much did you put on?
Have you lost it?
If so, how long did it take to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight?
Any advice?

I keep saying I'm going to diet but I CANNOT motivate myself.

I know exercise would be a good place to start but its fitting it in as Lola is rather demanding! Most exercise I get is walking with the pram and running up and down the stairs a million times a day!

I weighed about 9.5stone before I got pregnant, when I gave birth I weighed about 10.5stone but I struggled to put on any weight being pregnant and was monitored and had extra growth scans. After giving birth my weight dropped to 9 stone immediately and after breastfeeding for 4 weeks it had dropped to 7.5stone so I had to stop breastfeeding as my body just couldn't cope with the demand. At 15 weeks I'm now just over 8.5stone and still underweight but I'm struggling to put on any more even though I'm stuffing my face with chocolate and biscuits constantly.

Some people probably think I'm one of the "lucky" few but I hate being this underweight as I'm just skin and bones and look like I have an eating disorder and it's so fustrating not being able to get back up to a healthy weight again

I've started wearing baggy clothes all the time nowadays to hide the fact I'm so skinny as my husband gets upset about the looks I get from people for being so thin

I put on 2 and a half stone, and lost 3 stone! I definitely dont diet, i eat like a pig, and sooooo unhealthy, it makes me wonder if i could lose more if i actually tried! I do walk alot, in to town usually every other day. Mind u i was overweight before i had my LO anyway.

I was obsessed about my weight since I was 18 (I'm 31 now). I was a chubby teenager & really hated it.

57 kgs before pregnancy. I added loads during my pregnancy & reached 84 kgs. lost 6-7 kgs during labour. Now my weight is 64 kg.

I still cant fit in my pre-preg things, I dont think I will ever do as my hips r much wider now & my boobs r fuller (I'm not bfing). I didnt start exercising yet (had CS), I just controlled my diet but, still have cravings for chocolates & sweets

btw, 1 stone= ? kgs?

I was overweight to begin with, weighed around 14 and a half stone, went to 17 eeeekkkk!!! Am now back to 14st 6lb but have got another 3 stone to loose - was doing WW but seem to have lost motivation, starting again on Monday!!!!

jenny82 · Mar 12th, 2010, 04:30 AM

Was 8.5stone, ended up near 13 stone eeeek!!!! I'm down to 10.5 stone, but I reckon I only want to reach 9.5stone. I think I was too scrawny before I was pregnant anyway, and one more stone to lose is more realistic!!

Its odd though, I look almost the same as I did before with a just a few tweaks. My hips are wider and my boobs are bigger

I was 8st 6lbs before and I put 3st 7lbd on during pregnancy. Now 8st 13lbs.

Watched my diet but haven't dieted as such, I think bf'ing has helped with weight loss

suzanne108 · Mar 12th, 2010, 04:37 AM

1 stone = 6.4kg

Think I'm about 80kg
