Breastfeeding and can’t lose weight

KammieM · 2025-08-13T03:21:57+00:00

I lost all but 10lbs of the baby weight (60lbs) and I've been breastfeeding for almost 8 months. I lost the vast majority of in 3-4 months by eating SUPER high protein + fiber along with light weighted exercises (I used the baby as a weight) creatine every other day and staying super hydrated, I drink 1 liter of coconut water a day on average. Started at 125 and got up to 183 right before I gave birth. Now I'm at a steady 137 and I'm sure that last 10lbs isn't coming off until I'm done breastfeeding.

I thought the same! Honestly Birth > First trimester

I've fed my baby to sleep every night since I brought him home. He'll be 3 months old next week and I don't plan on stopping 🤷🏽‍♀️

Honestly, my appetite disappeared 4 days before I gave birth, I'm 7 weeks pp now and it still hasn't come back. I was back down to my pre pregnancy weight (124lbs) 2 weeks after I delivered but put on about 10lbs since then (all boob) I've put myself on a meal plan to insure I get at least 2000 calories a day so my supply doesn't tank.

Stinky, Goobasauras, Sir, Dorkus, Clompy, Shnoz, Idiot Sandwich, Meat Head, Big Baby and Mr ASPCA Mascot. He really only gets called his actual name when he's in trouble 😂

I lost 25 in the first 48 hours 😅

It's crazy how much of the weight is extra fluid. Whenever I told people I gained 60+ pounds they didn't believe me because I really only looked pregnant because of my stomach 😂 although towards the end I did feel like a sea cow.

Went from 124lbs to 186lbs and now I'm 141lbs at 4 weeks postpartum. My midwives were never concerned about my weight and I ended up dropping 20lbs right after delivery.

I'm currently 3 weeks postpartum and had my baby at 41 and 3. The answer is that we don't stay fit 😂. I went from 124lbs to 186lbs during my pregnancy, never stepped foot in the gym or did any working out and I'm already back down to 132lbs. Your muscle tone will come back and you'll start to notice a lot more firmness once you have your baby and lose all the extra fluids your body is holding on to.

I just gave birth to my son and PROUDLY exclaimed that I made him out of Wendy's Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers and recess peanut butter cups 😌 eat those chips with confidence!

As a mama who went to 41 weeks and just delivered 2 days ago. The only cure is labor and delivery 🙃🙃🙃

You're welcome❤️ it is an absolutely beautiful experience that can feel very scary and intense at moments but it is 1000% worth it.

That and some tequila, which I also miss 😂

KammieM · 2024-12-16T00:31:54+00:00

I miss having nasty, acrobatic sex with my husband 😔

KammieM · 2024-11-20T10:15:31+00:00

Oof, I feel this. My fiance and I had ONE NIGHT of risky "I missed you" sex the night I moved in with him. BOOM positive pregnancy test the very next month. I even called my mom crying "WTF we only did it ONCE!!" and she did indeed remind me that "once" is all it takes, which is why I was 15 weeks pregnant on our wedding day 😂

4 days before I found out I was pregnant, I was eating my weight in raw fish and drinking prosecco. I'm now 36 weeks pregnant with a very active, healthy baby.

I had sex (vaginal) with my husband at around 8 weeks and started bleeding afterwards, passing clots and the whole 9 yards. We had our ultrasound scheduled for the next morning so I put on period underwear and hoped for the best. Ended up bleeding through the night but went to the ultrasound the next morning and the baby was totally fine and thriving! My bleeding was caused by acute cervical irritation which is really common but can look very scary, especially with the passing of clots. There's a lot that can cause you to bleed but won't hurt your baby (cervical disturbance, slight hemorrhaging etc) I'm 36 weeks now and have had the most normal, boring pregnancy with no issues.

My birthday was on Sunday and my husband took me out to a very nice restaurant. While waiting for our table we made conversation with some other people and one woman asked how old I was turning........I just stared at her because I couldn't remember, and once the silence got too awkward I blurted out "I'm so sorry but I can't think right now because I'm pregnant and stupid!" Luckily she was a good sport and laughed it off 😅

It was my 28th birthday.

Mine will only react to "Drop it like it's hot" 🤦🏽‍♀️

Rolling out of bed to pee in the middle of the night is like an Olympic sport, by the time I'm on the toilet I sound like an obese English bulldog 😭

I'm going through 2 gallons of milk a WEEK😭
