I put on 15kg my last pregnancy and most of that was put on in the first trimester because of MS And then in the last trimester a lot of my gain was also fluid retention. 7 weeks after birth I am now 13kg off my pre preg weight I read somewhere that 12 - 18kg is the normal range.

If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose the weight you accumulated during pregnancy.

The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week.

Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster.

Yoga burns calories when done the right way.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.

This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me during my pregnancy when I started gaining too much weight.

Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.

If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.

Good luck honey!!

Oh my goodness! Now I am depressed! Small boobs and I NEVER forget to eat!!! My little boy has just turned 5 months old so is just starting on food. Also, my partner is a builder so needs to eat big, hearty meals every day. The good news is that I've been walking every day with bubby and since I live on a hill it has been a killer - but I've lost half a kilo!!!!

Karin, I don't know how old your babe is, but I found the great way to lose weight is forgetting to eat!
I was so busy taking little bites of Hannah's food all day (once she got past baby mush) that by the time I got round to thinking about food for myself, I wasn't hungry.

Then I lost too much and had to concentrate on eating properly again Amazing how much energy I got back though!!!]]> Tue, 30 May 2006 08:56:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=49445&title=weight-loss#49445 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=49389&title=weight-loss#49389 Author: karin**

I put on 14kg in my pregnancy and have 4kg left to lose. It's that annoying 4kg that means all my pre-pregnancy clothes are too tight and maternity clothes are too big. Add to that ... my partners family ... all the girls are size 10 (including his mum) and they all were in their pre-preg jeans within a week of having their babies! I thought for sure that breastfeeding would help me lose the weight, but it didn't . All my friends told me that after your baby is born your breasts often go up a size. Well, mine are the same size A cups so they didn't get any bigger - can't say the same for my thighs and hips though! Have started walking last week. I live on a hill so it's been particularly excruciating and I have to stop all the time, but I'm determined to shift this saddle and get back into my clothes. ]]> Mon, 29 May 2006 19:50:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=49389&title=weight-loss#49389 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=48385&title=weight-loss#48385 Author: AnnC

Hi

Interesting reading. I piled on the wieght with my first (going from 58kgs to 81kgs) - its those mince pies I tell ya - no wonder my son loves them. Took about 8mths to lose doing nothing - I had youth on my side. With my daughter i went from 53kgs to 71kgs back down to 64kgs day after I had her and lost most of the wieght straight away - although I have crohns disease then pretty bad so weight just kept dropping off. Once fixed I have put on a healthy weight gain - although would of liked to be a few Kgs lighter before getting pregnant. So far i have lost 1 kg but i am prepared and not niave that I shall put on at least 10 kgs in pregnancy. I have tried to watch what I am eating as buying savory morning tea isn't great for the waist line (hehe neither is getting pregnant either I guess I shall worry about losing weight after baby born. Going to Uk when baby is about 5 months so would like to have got down to pre pregnancy weight then. Lost of walking over summer and joining the gym again is the plan (we'll see will keep u posted on that one! Best laid plans and all

Also someone mentioned the Inplanon, I was thinking of trying that out as I don't like the idea of the depo (nor the weight gain that goes with it) IUD had one got put in hospital because of it never allowed one again, and PIll well I just have a terrible memory and keep forgetting. What was it like?]]> Thu, 25 May 2006 10:02:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=48385&title=weight-loss#48385 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=47797&title=weight-loss#47797 Author: nikkitheknitter

I think with the mini pill they can be irregular too.
Though, I'd get regular pregnancy tests Rachael, my midwife told me that the mini pill wouldn't be best for me due to natural fertility (which judging by having a babe so easily, you do too!) so just be aware that it's easier to fall pregnant on mini-pill + being extra fertile. (p.s. I ignored midwife and got pregnant again )

And that's all from Dr Nikki today. ]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 16:14:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=46996&title=weight-loss#46996 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=46983&title=weight-loss#46983 Author: 98765

Oh boy.. don't get me started on the weight thing!

Thanks for that. I'm a little paranoid about it do I get routine pregnancy tests done at each injection. (OK, so I've had one!!!) Got pregnant with Hannah after taking the emergency contaceptive pill and got preggo in December while on the mini-pill (can't take combined pill due to migraines) so yeah, giving Depo a go at the moment and if all else fails will go for an IUD. Although I think the risks of falling pregnant are higher with the IUD anyway.

Will just continue with being paranoid! Told Zeke I am not having another termination. (Though I think I just said it for shock factor, really I meant, if I happen to fall pregnant after my degree is finished I am going to force you to marry me so the child will be legitimate - hrmmmm maybe that's more shocking.)]]> Sat, 13 May 2006 13:37:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=46147&title=weight-loss#46147 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=46046&title=weight-loss#46046 Author: james

"They" say that it takes 9 months to put it on and 9 months to lose it again.

I don't think I put on much weight, but the extra little podgy tummy had shrunk back in definitely by the time Hannah was 9 months. I'm skinnier than when I started too. Though that was because I'd put on quite a lot of weight in first year at uni... (Fresher 5!)

My theory is that I'm losing weight now because I snack on Hannah's leftovers and am never hungry enough to eat my own meals. (Well actually that was a few months ago now... made a conscious effort to eat my own food and went on the Depo injection so have put on a bit again).]]> Thu, 11 May 2006 22:55:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45860&title=weight-loss#45860 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45715&title=weight-loss#45715 Author: jack_&_charli

i think it was when jack was about 12mths i decided to join weight watchers to loose my extra baggage. i was already 6kgs heavier than i wanted to be when i got pregnant with jack and after i had him there was ANOTHER 6kgs on top!!
i think i managed to loose about 4kgs and then stopped going only to gain it back again. then we decided to try for #2 so i gave up completely and now after this bubs is born i'm going to kick start the 'healthy eating and exercising program' again.
i'd highly recommend weight watchers to all and pilates! if you can't afford the weekly ww meetings, you can just get the books of trademe and do it at home or maybe with a friend. ]]> Thu, 11 May 2006 14:14:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45715&title=weight-loss#45715 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45616&title=weight-loss#45616 Author: newmum

I breastfed for 13.5 months and the weight was sucked away hehe.. I got down to skinnier than I've been in years but it's true that you do gain it again when you stop breastfeeding! I've put on weight (well fat) now and I need to exercise more!]]> Wed, 10 May 2006 21:32:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45583&title=weight-loss#45583 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=45263&title=weight-loss#45263 Author: mrs frantic

I obviously cant comment on this yet - but i know how hard it is to shift weight when i wasnt pregnant - i was a shocker, going on diet for like 2 days then cracking and binging, i can only imagine it will be harder after baby is born...ugh not lookign foward to it

before i was pregnant i weighed 54kgs and by the end of my pregnancy only weighed 64kgs, weighed myself 2days after birth and was 53,stayed at that for 3months then went onto the depo injection and went up to 70....it increased my appetite something shocking...i used to get 2 footlongs from subway (oink oink)
I went off the depo a year ago and im at 55kgs, which im happy with

I just like being able to wear jeans....
Still have a bit of a pot belly tho but i dont mind it ]]> Sun, 07 May 2006 21:54:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44581&title=weight-loss#44581 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44569&title=weight-loss#44569 Author: linda

I decided not to bother losing the weight after my first child and now that my second one has arrived and we don't plan to have any more I guess its time!

When I was pregnant with my second child I hardly put any weight on at all so queried this with the doctor as I was a bit worried. His reply....in the nicest way.....was that the baby was using my 'reserves' so to speak. Didn't gain any weight after the second child was born but still have to lose the weight from pregnancy one. I thought it was quite cool....I was pregnant, getting big with the baby but when the baby was born I could actually maybe weigh less than before I got pregnant and it sort of worked as I hadn't gained any weight]]> Sun, 07 May 2006 20:43:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44569&title=weight-loss#44569 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44536&title=weight-loss#44536 Author: aimeejoy

I am pretty much back to pre-pregnacy weight now. I think that breastfeeding for longer does help - the weight seems to have just fallen off since Hannah was about 4 months. Also now that I am dairy free - no cheese, biccies etc... But I have also been doing LOTS of walking with the pram and eating better. Feel so much better for it too. Good luck...]]> Sun, 07 May 2006 13:12:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44536&title=weight-loss#44536 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44519&title=weight-loss#44519 Author: daikini

I know you're all going to hate me... but I don't know how I lost the weight! I never put much on, I literally go all "baby", and I was back in my jeans a couple of days after having my kids (although I will admit that the jeans were ones that were 2 sizes above my pre-pregnancy size both times).

The extra weight I did put on was on my bum and thighs, and going for walks seems to help me there. Both after having Kiya, and after having Josiah, I've been back to my ideal weight and size by the time they're about 8 months old.

I know that this is different for everyone but how long did it take you to lose your weight from your first baby?]]> Sun, 07 May 2006 09:13:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2391&PID=44491&title=weight-loss#44491
