I gained about 23 kg during my pregnancy from 49 kg became 72 kg. And I lost only 7 kg after I gave birth, and still the same after a month passed. I thought it would be hard to get back to normal again. Its kinda scared me a little bit but my baby reached the age of 5 months I was back to normal size (I didnt do any diet).
How long did you take? Was it easy to lost your weight? And are you now back to normal weight like before?

During both my pregnancies I lost a lot of weight in my first trimester due to excessive throwing up.I lost about 8kgs both the times,during the pregnancies just gained that weight back,and lost another 4-5kgs at the time of the deliveries.Infact I was less than my normal weight.But by God's grace both my lil girls were healthy at birth,and are growing up fine.I'm happy too with my weight loss.

Actually thats not good losing weight during the pregnancy I guess. In your cases I think its rarely happened that the weight below your normal weight even after you gave birth. But really thank God you got 2 healthy girl. So what is your weight now?

I lost 10lbs. when I got pregnant because of morning sickness that lasted all day and night, then I gained 30lbs, when I had my son I was back to 10lbs lighter then before i got pregnant but I gained 20lbs a couple of months after and a year later I'm still working on getting rid of is.

I'm not really sure what i was before i got pregnant but i was in the low to mid 60's (kg) when i was first weighed after discovering i was pregnant, i went up to past 80kg at the heaviest time in my pregnancy & am now about 70kg.
To be honest with you all though, i don't really mind having a little extra - it's a little frustrating but i just look at my daughter & see what i got out of it & it isn't important to me!
So i guess i gained near 15 or so kg & now (13 months later) i am about 70kg so that's still a 10kg loss & i'm only maybe 5kg heavier now than i was to begin with, not a big deal i don't think!
Funnily enough though, all my jeans etc fit all through my pregnancy & still fit now (although some feel a little large!) & i am back in to most of my old clothes now again anyway, except the tighter ones which i am not so fussed about!

Gaining 5 kg more than normal is not too bad I guess. And I wonder how can your old clothes still fit you though you are 5 kg away. Thats kinda relief isnt it? Actually my hubby wants me to gain another 5, that means about 55 kg, coz he like to see me like that when I was at that weight. But I cant keep it steady coz I keep losing it and cant gain any till now... Too bad...

i can consider myself lucky in this issue coz i'm one of those that didn't gain much weight during pregnancy. i even lost weight on my fourth and fifth month. im a petite girl, i was only 90 lbs when i got pregant. it dropped to 88 lbs because i could eat much til my fourth month. on my due date i was only 106 lbs. i think all weight that i've gained was for my baby, the brest mass and water in my womb. i was back to 90 lbs a month after i gave birth.

Wow.. thats quite fast I guess. You have lost all directly after you gave birth. I think you dont have to worry about weight after all... :D
