Postpartum weight loss and gain

[FTMaz]

Hi all
Before getting pregnant I weighed 9st 4, in the gym 4/5 times a week and eating well. During pregnancy I went up to 12st 10 ( I know! 🤦🏻‍♀️) I wouldn’t say I ate loads I just ate what I felt I needed and sometimes that would be a whole lot of beige food!

I’m now 6 weeks postpartum. When I came out of hospital I was 11stone 10. Since then I’ve lost another stone and 3lbs so 10stone 7. I was steadily losing each week after doing long walks, eating well (but enough) and I have even started back at the gym. However the last week my weight has started to go back up. I’m still exercising and eating well. I feel quite disheartened as I feel I’m working hard. I am also only breastfeeding.

Has anyone had this happen and does it eventually level out? I know it is still early days but would be good to hear other people’s experiences for a bit of encouragement! Thank you
