Unable to lose weight postpartum?

[sasscass]

Am i the only one who isn’t losing weight postpartum? If anything, I seem to be gaining it slightly. I’ve been way more active, pushing the pram around town and walking up hills with it… I’m 15 weeks postpartum.

I was 7 stone 8 lbs before pregnancy, I went up to 9 stone 12 lbs and then I gave birth, I weighed myself two days later and I dropped to 8 stone 5! But now I’m 9 stone 5 … I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I never used to gain weight but now I’m struggling to lose it, which is so unlike me.

what bothers me the most is that I have an apple body shape, I carry fat around my waist so it makes me look as though I’m curveless and boxy shaped.

If you're pushing a heavy pram is it that you're gaining muscle? Have you noticed a change in your profile at all? Rather than just the scales?

I was a bit similar. Put on a stone when pregnant, was hospitalised for 3 weeks and lost half a stone, then had my son, and was back to less than my booking weight within a week. I'm now slowwwlly putting on a couple of pounds but I am breastfeeding so may be eating a bit too much than I actually need to 😂

Are you BFing OP?

I lost weight whilst BFing but a couple of friends swear that they couldn't lose much until they'd stopped.
