i slim down during confinement period but put alot back after confinement, i guess the food that i ate plays a big part. Now trying hard to lose some weight before my son 1 yr bday so i dun look like a slop.I think for weight loss we can't expect to drop it as fast as we put it on. Weight loss has to be gradual in order to be healthy, especially if you are breastfeeding.
I think other things that play a part was how active you were before your pregnancy & during your pregnancy. If you exercised regularly, you should be able to bounce back quite fast because you managed to maintain your metabolism rate.
Other things include age as well, as our metabolism rate drops as we age.
I think most importantly is dont't compare yourself with other mummies as it may make you feel more sad about your weight. Some people can drop it all immediately after they gave birth, some can take up to a year. Just need to maintain healthy diet and exercise.
For me, I was back to pre-preg weight very soon after I gave birth. But sad to say 6 months later I put on weight. Hahaha.
hi mummies,
dont't know where to post this thread, anyway i've wanting to lose my extra kilos after birth, not only i did not lose, i gain more. sigh!!! Now i weight the same as my pregg (3rd tri) and i am carrying ONE!! This is soo unhealthy.
Losing weight in a healthy ways need alot of determination. I also gain more than 20kg during pregnancy but after looking after son, lost some weight hee hee. also dont eat too oily foods. Good luck in your losing weight program. It'll take some times. so dont rush into wanting to lose weight.
