It's 6 month post delivery and my achievement is as follows:

Weight gained = 9-10kg

Weight loss after 2.5 months = ALL

Exercise = none (c-sec) till now (due to laziness)

Inches

Butt : all gone

Waist : 1 inc to go

Tummy : 2inc to go (spare tyre!)

It's been nearly 4.5 months and sad to say, progress is very slow for me. *sob*

Weight gained = 12 kg

Weight lost after 4 months = 6-7 kg (I lost more during my confinement - around 9 kg but ended up putting on another 3 kg after I moved to SG)

Exercise = none except walking for 30 minutes in the evenings (c-sec) until when Eva was over 3 mths and the gynae gave green light; started yoga just beginning of December (once a week).

Inches

Butt : 2 inches

Waist : 1.5 inches

Tummy : 1.5 inches

I still have quite a long way more to go because I gained weight after the move from Switzerland (all those nasty carbs did it for me!) but at least there is one saving grace - just yesterday, my HB grabbed my belly and remarked that it's getting smaller. So w00t!

I guess I lose weight coz of too much perspiration, breastfeeding and sometimes I cant eat properly coz have to rush to attend my baby's cry :wacko3: sometimes eat 1 or 2 times a day... that was the most difficult time of my life... but now ppl ask me how i can lose weight so fast haha

You gals r so lucky.. slimmer than b4 preggie! My weight just refuse to any lower than 50-51kg which is my pre-pregnancy weight (not ideal). I wish I can shed another 2-3 kg bringing my weight down to 48kg.. <day dreaming now>

Heck la, I'll be happy to get down to my prepregnancy weight! I just have to accept the fact that I'm one of those unlucky gals who will put on weight no matter what...even during BFing. T.T

Weight Gained : 13 Kg

Weight Loss After 2 Months : 13 Kg

Exercise : None (no time)

Inches

Butt, Waist & Tummy still the same as before (didnt really measure but since I can fit in all my pre pregnancy bottoms, so I guess it's the same la).

I think breastfeeding + lack of sleep contributed to the rapid weight loss. Actually I am 3 kg lighter then pre pregnancy weight. Not too good cos I look gaunt :s

wow...seems like im the rare few who arent losing weight...

my mil lost more weight than me i think...she is taking care of my baby during the day...

i just want to be able to fit into all my clothes again...its depressing to be in tight clothes all the time...

my friend said to give myself 6 months and its better to shed all weight by then otherwise it will stay with me...and i only have 3.5 months left

the daily cupcakes that i eat is the main culprit i think

so zeroflower, go get yourself some cupcakes...

I'm joining you la, gal. Actually, all my other mummy friends told me to give myself 9 mths to a year, especially when they heard that I went for a c-sec. Clothes-wise, I'm starting to fit into my prepregnancy jeans so I'm actually ignoring the scale and concentrating more on the measuring tape. Have always been like that whenever I combine exercise with diet - I can stay at one weight for a long time but lose inches instead. More muscle weight I guess. :S

hehe...ok mable we concentrate on the inches then...

but what you said makes sense cause muscle contains more mass than evil evil fat...

Inches : Didn't measure but can fit in most of my pre-pregnancy top & pant. Those pant that I still can't fit in is those from my uni days.

By the way, I have been a very big eater since delivered. I can finish 2 bowl of noodles or rice when I eat outside... :P

Can I ask a question? Are all of you guys working? Coz I suspect that going back to work also adds to the weight loss.

I am working but this doesn't seem to help in weight loss. I always feel like grabbing something to eat in the office. Started to control myself last 2 days. Hopefully it will contribute to more weight loss. Spare tyre is getting bigger by the minute

Weight Gained : 12 Kg

Weight Loss After 2 Months : 10 Kg

Weight Loss After 6 Months :12 kg

Exercise : Carry & look after baby 24/7

Working: Working out everyday weightlifting baby & paperwork (WAHM)

Verdict: Lost all the weight, now at 7mths+ can fit pants/shirts but pants slightly tight at waist/hips, shirt a bit sexy with big boobs. Looks like regaining weight - most probably its muscle weight. :P

Eating: Huge mountain of rice 2-3x a day - have never eaten so much rice before in 1 sitting. Most probably its carbs needed for breastfeeding & weightlifting.

Am not planning to lose any additional weight - will need it for emergency days when there's no time to eat & to ensure sufficient breastmilk supply. Did not expect to fit back in pre-pregnancy clothes as body shape does change every year - so does my wardrobe. Contented with weight & looks. Wish had more sleep time. ;)

For me :

Weight gain for whole pregnancy : 12kg

Weight loss after 5 days delivered : around 5kg

Weight loss after 2 to 3 months : another 5kg

Weight loss after 3 months plus : another 1-2 kg (mean almost back to pre-pregnancy weight)

Weight at 4 months onwards : sometimes back to pre-pregnancy weight or sometimes the 1 kg extra remain..(depends how much I ate)

Recently : I think increase 0.5kg or 1kg again after starting working for few months cause I always sit in office ...my job is facing computer (no choice loh )...

Exercise : none ! ( where got time to exercise ???) sometimes only do some stretching when whole body or neck pain cause of lack of exercise mah :p

Inches : after delivered left 2 to 3 inches to get back pre-pregnancy inches if I remember correctly ! after that lost a little bit til now never measure again....haiz...lazy lah....(but can wear back most of my jean & long pants & skirt lah )

Okies...coz I'm a SAHM and if I don't go out, it's just housework and that's it. So I need to get out in order to exercise, otherwise, lagi faster if put on weight.

Since I started yoga about a few weeks back, I noticed that I feel better and my muscles are getting back in shape. I still remember my first yoga class - everywhere was achy and such. It's a pity that I missed this week's class (flu) and will miss the weeks after Christmas till New Year (holiday) but one good thing - when I come back, I'll be taking two classes in a week! w00ts!!!

As for clothes, I can fit into my jeans but shirt wise, long time more to go coz even my HB remarked that my boobs have gotten bigger so hai, I can forget about wearing my work tops. Can't even button up across the boobs. :(

Weight lost during 1st 2 weeks of confinement = 14kg ( due to restricted food )

Weight is increasing now, gained 2-3kg since bb's full month... I ate n drank quite alot each time after breast pumping session.... i can eat two serves of chicken rice n stil not 100% full when breastfeeding... ppl said breastfeeding can loss weight but me gained weight as always feels hungry....

Started work this week... hoping i can loss more kg as i cannot simply go eat, must follow lunch break hrs.... unlike during maternity leave, eat non-stop at home...
