to ask how much you weigh now compared to before kids and how old your kids are?

[munkeychops]

basically as the subject says. I still have baby weight to lose and wondering what is hte norm

I am now the same weight (8 and a half stone) as I was before I got pregnant with DS, who is almost 4. I put on 2 stone whilst pregnant - a stone of that essentially came off as a result of the birth. I carried the other stone for nearly 2 years until I took myself in hand and lost the weight. I felt much better then - like my old self.

I look nothing like I used to look though, despite weighing the same. My stomach is so much looser, droopier boobs and love handles.

Oh well. I am 8 weeks pregnant with our second baby and don't hold oput much hope for my weight or body as a result! Bring on the jersey and elastic waists that are maternity wear!

I was 8.5 stone when DD was conceived and training 3-4 times a week. Put on a stone of cake in the first trimester plus a stone of baby in each of the subsequent trimesters.

Dropped back to size 10 jeans within a couple of months of DD's birth but remained at 9.5 stone until 3 months pregnant with Dc2. Still carrying DC2. Put on a stone in each of trimesters 2 and 3 and now I'm into trimester 4 I'v3 put on another 2-3 pounds.

Planning on stopping at 2 kids so will actually put some effort into training and trying to get fit again over the winter and next year.

I am about 1/2 stone heavier than pre DC and would really like to shift it but the effort involved is boring.

I was 8st 5lbs pre DC and now 6mths after the birth of DC4 I am 9st. I would dearly like to be 8st 5lb again but sadly enjoy snickers and wine too much.

was about 8.5 stone before dd now 5 and have also had ds 2 since then (am 5'8"). I'm now 8stone 10lb but a lot more toned due to hammering the gym and probably look slimmer. My stomach remains a deflated balloon though and even the years personal training hasn't firmed it up despite being a size 8. I know it's vain and superficial but I hate it .

When ds was 8m old I was 9stone 5lb and couldn't stand it, I'm rubbish at dieting so hence the personal training. Have slackened off with the gym recently though and can feel the dreaded creep of fat again. Maintaining it is also bloody hard work!

11.5 stone pre DD, 10.5 stone post DD. DD age 14 months, me age 36.

I was surprised how quickly the weight fell off. I had been expecting to take a least 9 months to lose the weight but after 6 weeks I was 0.5 stone lighter than before i was pregnant.

Pre DC: 13.7 st have not seen that weight since.
Post DD1/pre DD2 : 15.5
Post DD2 /pre DS : 16.4
Post DS: 17.4 (crept up to 18.3 but have been going to slimming world.)

Planning on getting back to pre DC weight! It's a bit high for my height (5' 7") but if i go below 13 i look like a skeleton. I like my curves too!

It's really embarrassing looking at it like that

I was 10st pre- DS.

He's now 3 and a half, and I'm now 11st 8, although, following a messy split, I did become bulimic, then just reverted to binge eating and ended up gaining weight that way. Have dropped from the 12 st I was in June, though. :)

weighed 7st pre DC1- now 15, put on 3 1/2 stone during PG back to 7 stone within a month.

Weighed 7 stone pre DC2- now 12, put on 3 stone during PG, weight down to 7st 7 within a month but slowly crept up to 8st 7, Couldnt shift it or love nor money.

Weighed 8st 7 pre Dc3- now 8, Actually lost weight during PG only put on 1 st. In total
within 2 weeks weight dropped to 7st 7.....then continued to drop within 6 months to 6st 10 which is where it stayed until the last year or so, i weigh 6st 12 now. I am 36. and am naturally small anyway.

I gained 4 stone in my first pregnancy 5 years ago but only lost 3 stone before I had DS2 (now 2.5) during which I gained another 4 stone so I ended up 5 stone heavier than pre-pregnancy :shock:.
I lost 3 stone in the first year (giving birth & half hearted WW plus exercise!) but can't seem to shift this last 2 stone to get to my pre-pregnancy weight which incidentally wasn't tiny (sz12) but sounds amazing against my current sz16 frame

8 stone 10 and 8 stone 10
DS is eight
Boobs much bigger now though and I breastfeed
General shape the same but not toned
No stretch marks though .

Before kids about 9 stone. Now about 10 and a half stone. Kids are 18 and 14.

8 stone pre and post dcs.

took about 9 months after each one to get back iirc

58kg before DS1
62kg before DS2
60kg now (get in! creeping back up in the past week, ordered thai tonight. Hmmm.)

Went up to 85kg before birth with both.
DS1 is 2
DS2 is 4 months

Wish was 56kg pfff.

Tummy and boobs are shagged. So are hips/thighs (stretchies)

I weigh less than when I had children - its the bloody stress and the fact they take first picking on the treats cupboard and clean me out. So no longer able to sit like a Buddha off an evening stuffing my face.
now9st12lbbefore 10st4lbs
Have started running once a week to keep fit. I cycle now instead of usiing the car. I hope I can keep it up as I do get bored and really cant stand the gym.

Oh am 5ft3 and 30

I was about 8 stone 4 or 5 before having children. Am now about the same but figure is no way as good. Smaller boobs now, bigger thighs and bottom. I went down to about 8 stone at times of stress when babies were smaller.

Never went higher than 10 stone in either pregnancy but that was sheer good luck as I ate a lot. Want to lose some wobbly bits at the mo as starting to gradually sag.

I was 7st 5lb before I fell pregnant, I was underweight but couldnt seem to gain any. By the time I had my DS I was 12st 5lb!
Alot of this seemed to be water retension though as I seemed to deflate ALOT after having him, also he was a 9lb baby. I am now about 9st, 4 years on and a size 10.
I think it depends on the individual as to what 'the norm' is though, according to BMI I am now a normal weight for my height. Although I could still do with toning certain areas I am happy with my weight.

I don't know what I weighed pre-DC as I didn't weigh myself, but I'm two dress sizes smaller than I was before DC1.

I did weigh myself the day before going in to be induced for DC2, just for the craic like, as I had ballooned. It wasn't pretty. She is now nearly 14 months old and I'm exactly 30 KGs (about 60lb) lighter than I was then. She was 4KG/9lb of that.

Breastfeeding makes the weight drop of me, but the move onto solids has it slowly creep back on. By the time DS was 9 months old and i was PG with DD, I was back up to a size 16. I decided not to let that happen after DD and have worked hard to keep it off and lose more.

I am now a diet and exercise bore, but I look good. Another 4 kilos and I'll be happy to call it quits.

Am 5"9' and 37.

Haven't weighed myself for years and years but I'm still a size 10. Children are 21, 19, 18, 17, 15, 14, 12 and 9.

Kids are 16 and 12.
I used to weigh 8'2" I know weigh 14 stone.
The 12 year old was very prem and I was advised to keep him in the house pretty much for his first year.
I became a hermit and doubled my weight to 16'4" it has taken me 10 years to loose 2 stone and get out of the house again!!!
Actually I am just a lazy cow.

Pre kids, I was about 14.5 stone.

At heaviest (when DS2 was just 2, 9 months ago) was 15 stone 13

Now 10 stone 8 and VERY happy about it.

I am 5'5 and just over 9 stone, size 10/12. I weigh less than I did before I had my kids, I was always hovering round the 10 stone mark then size 12/14. My kids are 8 and 5 and it took me about a year after each pregnancy to lose the weight. I put on 4 stone with each I didn't over eat either, just one of those who balloon with pregnancy.

I lost it all from being so busy with them, no help from horrible ex and now lone parent and also I don't drink anymore, I think that was why I was always struggling with my weight before I had them.

I now weigh 2 stone more than I weighed at the end of my pregnancy 7 years ago . I did get back to my pre-pregnancy size 10 within a year of DS being born but then thyroid problems struck and I've never managed to shift the weight.

Yellowstone Blimey 8 kids!!! no wonder you are thin! .
