tatgur1 - 1196 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i had twins and went up by 48lbs, i weighed myself 2 days ago, which would have made it exactly 2 weeks after birth, and i have lost 34lbs, altho my belly is far from flat! any ideas for that, please send my way! :)

jessicadarling - 1196 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) After I gave birth when I got home I weighed myself and I hadn't lost any weight! I was so confused. But by the time my one week appointment rolled around I had lost over 20 pounds. I gained 35. Now I am struggling with this last bit ever since I stopped breastfeeding

tamara0209 - 1196 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I gained 25lbs with my son, and lost 12 when he popped out. It took a couple of months to lose the rest and then additionally I lost another 15 pounds. So I gained 25lbs and lost 40lbs.

jaydsmom - 1196 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I gained 65 lbs with my first and lost 40 lbs of it in the first month (20ish in the first week). I lost it all eventually. I gained 38 lbs with this baby, he is 2 weeks today and I have lost 26 lbs already. I expect the last 12 lbs to be gone by the end of November. I also did the belly binding this time, and my tummy is already flat. No baby ponch. My husband can't believe that part is gone already.

babygonzales - 1196 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I lost all the weight within a week with all my kids. My first I gained 28lbs, my second I gained 19lbs and my last baby I only gained 10lbs. With my last 2 I even lost a few more pounds than I gained. I still have the pop belly though =(
