How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?  Were you able to lose any?  Do you have any left to lose?

I weighed 167 at the time of conception.  I had just gained 20 pounds due to the holdays and woking behind a desk all day and not being active at ALL.  So, then I got pregnant and gained 40 pounds...I thought I was doing good till the last 3 months and then that went out the window.  My baby is now 4 months old and I still weigh 180!!!  I lost 25 pounds right after birth but then the scale just stopped.  I thought the scale might have been broken for awhile but ive come to accept the fact that I have alot of weight to lose...I lost the baby weight now I have to lose the mexican and mint chocolate chip ice cream weight LOL

 I weighed 200 pounds when I got pregnant, 208 when I delivered, and I left the hospital at 169.  5 months PP I was down to 150.  I still have 10-15 pounds I'd like to lose.

With my First I gained 80 POUNDS!!!!!  And I lost it ALL!!!!  With my 2nd I only gained 20 and I gained about 20 with my 3rd.  My problem is that I gain AFTER delivery.  For what ever reason breastfeeding makes me SO HUNGRY!!!!!  SO I eat and eat and eat!!  I gain MORE weight AFTER delivery then while pregnant.  So I am currently trying to lose my POST pregnancy weight gain LOL!

I gained 50lbs while I was prego and as of last week I have lost all the baby weight! My DD is 10 1/2 months old. I have been working really hard at it, eating right and exercising a lot. I still want to lose 20 more lbs.

For my 6th & final pregnancy:

I was 110 lbs before I got pregnant.

I was 150 lbs full term

I am now 120 lbs.... but I want to keep this weight because I was underweight and sickly looking before.  I'm at my ideal weight for my height.  All I need to work on is tone.

*My son is 4 months old now.

All of my other kids were about the same. My range went from 145 to 155 for top pregnancy weights with them.  I lost the weight within 3 to 4 months with all of them.

I started at 137 and was 172 when I went into labor so I gained 35 pounds. However I was down 18 pounds when I got home from the hospital and now I am down 34 pounds so I just need to lose 1 more pound to be down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I do want to get down to 130 though so I still have 8 pounds left to lose. Not too bad!!! Breastfeeding is great for getting the weight off!

I gained 25 lbs with both pregnancies.  I lost all the weight within 2 weeks after having my first child.  With my second it took a little bit longer but within 2-3 weeks after delivery I was within 5 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight.  I breastfed my youngest longer so maybe that's why it took a little bit longer.  He's almost 4 months old and I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I never dieted or exercised either, other than keeping up with a 2 yr old and taking care of a 3 1/2 month old!
