I’m 36 weeks pregnant. I was 120 lbs for the wedding and gained 70-75 lbs with single child .. Thank you for posting this video as I really thought something was wrong with me coz I see women gaining only 20 - 50 pounds. This video gives me lot of strength and positive energy …

I just want to clarify, because i recently learned and i took a poll but breastfeeding does not always lead to weight loss for some. I truly depends on the person and baby.
@valerieascencio2726 4 жыл бұрын
Simmply Samm Ive gained and kept so much weight with breastfeeding everyone keeps telling me that you lose weight when you breastfeed. Nope i’ve gained weight and kept weight. 10 months in and I haven’t lost any weight.
@TrulyToniB 4 жыл бұрын
i truly believe its what you eat and also empty calories by drinking sodas and certain sauces because when you breastfeed your body really is burning sooo much calories and what does that end up to? people being overly hungry and usually people over eating, usually not healthy stuff either especially with a newborn its usually quick unhealthy stuff. But myself and others while breastfeeding was losing weight by not over eating unhealthy things and I've also gained lots of weight by being so hungry from breastfeeding and eating the wrong things and just plain over eating. So yes I believe breastfeeding CAN help lose weight based on the fact that it burns soo much calories and the food you are eating BUT that's only if you're not overeating and eating the right things. Which like i said isn't always the case with newborns and wanting quick options. meal prepping would be the answer to that.
@justme-qj1mq 4 жыл бұрын
I heard that the women who don't loose weight from it are generally the ones who continue to overeat or don't eat healthy.. So they consume more calories than they are loosing through breast feeding
@HollehhMarie 4 жыл бұрын
Yes! It really just depends on your body, because some people hold onto weight more than others. I haven't lost my last few lbs and I'm 8 months PP, BUTTTTTT I also don't eat super healthy so I'm calling a foul on my part lol. I've always held onto weight a little more though so that could also be it.
@anastasiaburdeniuk3858 Жыл бұрын
So very true. I’m breastfeeding and eat 1600 calories of good & healthy food. Plus doing 16:8 of IF. Plus a lot of clean water. Plus exercising 5 times a week. Still Not loosing weight. Could not even return to my prenatal shape.

Wow congratulations! I feel the same way when I look back at pictures of myself. I was 195 when I got pregnant with #1 then got preeclampsia, and YES I TOO GOT THOSE NIGHT SWEATS! lol then got pregnant with #2 But I didn't lose the weight from the first so I blew up to 260. After she was born I told myself enough was enough and got strict with myself. I used myfitnesspal and worked out with KZfaq Bikini Body Mommy challenges. I got down to 185 then got pregnant with #3 so now here I am today again back at 185 and my goal weight is 140, supposedly it's supposed to be 130 but to me that's too much I feel 140 is a good medium 😉 Thanks for the motivation!!

All of this right in the middle of my weightloss/weightlifting journey that I had to put on hold because I got sick. So believe me when I say you are helping me out so much with your positivity and just knowing I can do it. I'm currently restricting a little, just because I am not that hungry in the summertime and I know my body can handle it but after this little girl's comes out I'm going to hit the road hard and get this weight gone!

I never had eclampsia, I just had what they called Edema (the water weight part) so uncomfortable, so not cute. I looked like a big blob. There was so much water the anesthesiologist even commented that it was making it harder for him to find the spot for the epidural ahahha so that took longer. Then after delivery followed of month of sweating, it was like a needed a waterproof bed pad aahah With each pregnancy (i'm on my third and final now) the water weight comes on faster.

I just want to say congratulations on your weight loss journey!! I myself am now pregnant with my second child , pre pregnancy weight was 140 lbs, I am now at 187 pounds and 5 months pregnant! It is really depressing, my doctor keeps encouraging me to diet and exercise, but it is so difficult when you’re working full time and have a 6 year old to raise . But after I give birth I definitely want to breastfeed and eat healthy , definitely taking all of your information into consideration, I know exactly how you felt ! With my first child I didn’t gain as much weight and was able to lose it . This time around I felt hopeless, pregnancy is supposed to be a joyous time . And I feel so lost and down ! Watching your video has definitely given me some hope ! You look amazing !

Justine, you’re giving me so much hope!!! I will be eight months postpartum in three days. I am used to being 115 to 120 pounds as well because I’m 5’1 petite and normally lean. However before pregnancy I was 136lbs and by the time I hit nine months I ended up weighing 190lbs. After having my baby boy I’ve lost 20 pounds and I’m still maintaining 165lbs. My goal still is 115-120lbs and I’m just stuck because I am breast-feeding which is making me hungrier and due to me having a cesarean I’m still a little skeptical of certain exercises to do but I am usually a walker and I can walk 45 minutes a day 4-5 days a week but my lifestyle is pretty busy, so most days when I leave work I just want to come home and relax with my baby and end up not taking a walk. Anywho I really enjoyed this video, you give me hope and best believe it before the end of the year I’m going to try to reach my goal. Thank you!!

Hi, Thanks so much for sharing! As I was watching I kept thinking that your story and numbers are so similar to mine!! My regular weight is around 120 and I gained 65+ pounds with each kid (and I have 3). I also suffered from really bad psoriasis (since h.s. age) & eczema that went away during my first two pregnancies but came back really badly right around 4 months pp with all 3 kids. To make a long story short, I lost all of the weight the first time through pumping, second time through low-carb, and third time through keto/low-carb. 6 months into the keto diet, my skin started clearing and now I am 99% healed. It's really amazing and I love the diet because I get to eat a lot of yummy & fatty foods and still indulge in sugar-free treats. Anyways, just wanted to share. You look great and love your channel! :)

@samanthap.879 3 жыл бұрын
@@sierraward8014 it’s hard. I see women who gain like 30 pounds and I just don’t get it. I ended up having preeclampsia which explained the massive amount of water weight at the end but the actual 50 pounds was what I gained from food and then the baby+placenta was only 10 pounds. It’s difficult I’m trying to just eat healthy and not over restrict myself because I know I just give up after a few weeks of that. I always worry my husband thinks I’m ugly now but he says I’m not. You’re beautiful but I get it it’s really hard to gain so much weight and then being exhausted from having a newborn is intense. My mom said she didn’t have the energy to lose the baby weight until I was 4. It’s a process.

Justine Marie So I had to come back and first off thank you for your sweet reply. Secondly I’m on my 4th week of working out and eating right. Giiiirl I feel like a new woman. I’m fitting back into my clothes, my stomach is already flatter than it was before I was pregnant and I’m feeling wonderful about myself. Thanks again for being brave and putting it all out there. I think when we get to a certain point and we need to lose a significant amount of weight (and to each their own regarding what qualifies as significant, for me 40 lbs is very significant) we can get overwhelmed and intimidated and just not even want to start. I’m so glad I stumbled across your video when I did. It was literally the final push I needed. ❤️

Omg I feel this! I was about 120 at my best weight. Was up to 135-140 when I got pregnant. Gained 60+ pounds during pregnancy. The day I was induced I was 195 pounds. I had an appointment at like 8 weeks postpartum? And I was 175. Which made me sad because I had only lost 20 pounds. 4 months postpartum I was back up to 180 😞 I'm now almost 6 months pp and I've been working out and eating healthy and I'm scared to weigh myself. I breastfeed exclusively. Hoping I can fit some clothes by summer because I have about 3 outfits that fit right now and I dont want to buy "fat clothes" because I am determined to lose weight.

No problem! That's how I felt for the longest time...it wasn't too bad as my first concern was to produce milk for my baby...but the diet I talked about is what really helped me! It didn't affect my milk supply at all either! Just don't give up! Good job for exercising! Haha I need to be more like That! I DO have a Zumba class though~!

I started out at 170 and ended up at 295. I lost 50 lbs just from having no appetite within the first couple weeks of postpartum and now I seem to be stuck at 245. My target weight is 120. But I seem to be stuck and depression REALLY doesn’t help at all

I’m also 4’9. I definitely have an hourglass shape and it’s still visible but it’s my stomach, legs, and butt where I need to lose weight. And it’s hard because I’m supposed to be on a low or no fat diet because I have no gallbladder

How tall are you!? Much needed video! I'm 3 months postpartum with my 7 child. My last 5 children I've had every year since 2016. Lol I've been gaining weight with each baby 50-70 lbs at a time I breast feed so I tend to lose the weight but this time I had my last child really close and I didn't drop the weight as fast. I ended this pregnancy at 180, but last time I checked I was 165. I've been trying hard to get my weight down been focusing on eating more protein and exercising at least 4 times a week. I haven't weighed myself in a month. Can't wait to check my progress. I still feel fat tho 😂. Cloths fitting a little better tho. I'm 5'2 and I believe a healthy weight for my body comp is 125-130.

Nice video. Congratulations! Losing weight is difficult and I so wish that our nation wasn't so 'heavy'. The foods we eat in the US definitely make us gain weight. I lost 30 lbs last year and have kept is off. I've started my own KZfaq channel to help inspire others. I believe that a whole-foods (no junk, nothing processed), plant-based diet is the answer. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey! 🌺

I’m 5’2” and need to get down to 105 lbs (yes this is a healthy BMI still because I’m short) and I’ve got 11 days till induction, estimating I’ll be at about 175 when I give birth, so I need to lose 70 lbs😅😅😅 I’m gonna give myself 9 months to lose the weight that took 9 months to gain. Started pregnancy at 128 lbs and to lose it by 9 months I need to lose a little more than a pound a week😬👌🏼 That’s not too bad but I need to stay motivated because I’ve struggled with depression before because of my weight and I know that postpartum depression is a real possibility..

I was looking for a video that was more than just 25, 30, 40 lbs. I used to be 120 lbs about 5 years ago. Steadily gained weight after stress and environment change. Now I’m 215 lbs even after dropping a significant amount after pregnancy. I literally weighed 2 of me, and that’s been hard to swallow. I want to change things for myself but it’s been so difficult.

I can totally relate!❤️ I used to be 135-ish and I got up to 207 just before my baby was born a few weeks ago. Don’t be discouraged! By the way, have you tried the keto diet? It works amazing and I wish it would be possible for me to lose weight that way, but I live in India, where keto is just not feasible.

Omg this is literally my experience with weight while pregnant. I am now having a second baby and it is happening again... all that water weight, all that extra weight is so uncomfortable and disheartening. I look in the mirror and literally don't look like the same person. Even though I did lose that weight with my first son, I still keep watching videos and researching ways to get back down to my regular size after my second son is born in July.

I am breastfeeding my baby who is 2y10m now and I keep gaining weight, so not always breastfeeding helps shedding the pregnancy weight. I may have some condition I do not know about, but anyway, the weight keeps slowly going up. I canot wait to stop breastfeeding and start diet and excercise, I hope it will help. I suspect I have some underlying condition as I started gaining slowly my weight about 6 months before I got pregnant.

Honestly this is so encouraging. Similar story to yours. Got comfortable and gained closer to 30lbs during the last three years of my marriage. I’m shorter like you so I started my pregnancy at 150lbs. I struggle so much with body image so I’ve been really concerned with how much I’ll gain and how hard it’ll be to lose the baby weight. Doesn’t help that my mother said she gained 50lbs with all 5 of her pregnancies. 😩

I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy and didn’t get rid of the weight. With my second pregnancy my weight went down and up and at the end I gained only 2 pounds but was still 222. I’m currently 3 weeks postpartum I don’t know what my weight is but my pre pregnancy clothes are big on me I still have the c section swelling though. Hopefully I can get down to a healthy weight for 5’4” body.

I was 135 prob closer to 140 w my first baby and was close to 200 I think at the end w him 😬 lost all the baby weight but had a diastasis. Had my daughter 13 months after gained about the same I think but lost the weight.. gained a crap ton back bc of a medication I was on and was a little over 200 after having my third august 2022. I LOVE fitness so that’s not an issue but mannn it is hard to be kind to my body I have a diastasis to heal, and am currently working on strength etc. I have 8 and 10 lb weights I use at home and do cardio too. I can’t fast or anything yet bc I’m breastfeeding but I just wonder why some of us gain more in pregnancy? Both my girls were 8lbs and I know we make extra blood and fluid and the placenta weighs and extra pb or so but it hurts me knowing with my first I worked out everyday in my pregnancy like meticulously. I was still active duty navy.. would walk and jog around my apartments untill the late second trimester , did KZfaq workouts, drank almost a gallon of water a day (no joke!) when we bought our home we got a puppy I always took on walks and we had I pool I swam in. Maybe I gained “too,” much but I’ve never had gestational diabetes and everything else looked fine in my pregnancies besides me weighing more than what was average Or recommended 🤷♀️.
