I've been getting so many requests to share my postpartum weight loss journey, so even though I'm not at my pre-pregnancy weight just yet (and in no rush to get there!), I thought I would share what I have been doing so far to help any one in the same boat :) Hope you enjoy! xx
next maybe a what I eat in a day breastfeeding edition? my health visitor always advise me to eat more than I can handle because "water does increase your supply, but your supply needs to also be nutrient and fat dense" 🤨
So true! My baby was actually dehydrated and in the hospital because she wasn't getting enough nutrients from my milk. The doctor said my milk was practically water 😔 I made changes to my diet and supplemented with formula for 2 weeks.
This is encouraging to read! I gained 80lbs with my recent pregnancy. I’ve lost 30 lbs in the first month but still having 50lbs more feels terrible for me 😭
Who cares about pre pregnancy weight when they have your figure! Girl, you look gorgeous! Weight does not matter, what matters is the overall appearance and you just rock. I have three kids and i have lost pregnancy weight with every one of them almoust instantly. When i came home from hospital with my first child I weighed less than before getting pregnant. And with every other child i got my weigh back during the first two weeks. I´m lucky i guess! My grandmother used to say that what comes with 9 months goes with 9 months and i know many women who start to loose their pregnancy weight after they stop breastfeeding.
I am 5'9" and put on about 30lbs. I also lost 20lbs right away but have been sick with the last 10 and breastfeeding! I'm working out and running 4 times a week but still there! I'm totally hungry all the time too! Thank you for this video!!!!
Bethany Kovach Try weightlifting. It won’t make you bulky, especially if you do low weight more reps. Muscles helps ton and they eat fat. Cardio isn’t always the best method to lose weight. Also make sure you’re eating enough. You may think you are but with breast feeding and working out you could be in a calorie deficit. As a result your body could be storing that weight.
I only gained 28 pounds through my pregnancy. I had my babygirl on January 27 at 38 weeks. My body was pretty much back to normal as soon as I had her. But I have a little more love handles than I had before, I used to have curves and now they’re pretty much gone. I wish I had a scale so I could know how much I weigh! But I can’t wait to start working out when I hit 6 weeks postpartum! You look bomb by the way 🔥 But breastfeeding hunger is even worse than pregnancy hunger!!!
First time Moms always drop their weight fast esp. if your already skinny before giving birth. 2, 3 or 4 baby’s more it’s be different and longer time to drop the weight. It’s been proven fact!
I wish this was true for all first time moms, but that isn't always the case. I gained 60lbs with my first baby, lost 30lbs after birth. Now I can't get rid of the other 30lbs, or my loose belly.
I just starting a workout program kind of like the one you're using for about 2 weeks now and I love it. No equipment required. And I've been noticing that I can getting stronger every time I do the poses. I am hoping to lose 30 pounds myself. I have not gained weight by eating too much but from not eating at all. I never knew I could gain so much weight from just not eating. Been dealing with depression/anxiety for many years now...I have come a long way. Been feeling better and doing better. Thank you so much for your motivation and inspiration from this video.
Taking notes on everything here! Thanks for sharing, I feel related to so many things here breastfeeding my baby, and struggling to loose weight without affecting the milk supply
I am exclusively breastfeeding and 11 weeks PP and still have 20 lbs to loose. I excersize with light weights and walk. I gained 36 lbs. So only 16 lost within the first 2 weeks and now I am plataued...
this is so beautiful! you’re inspiring me already! i’m 20 weeks 👶🏽💛 and i’m already excited to use all these tips. can please link the belly band you used! (p.s congratulations on your beautiful baby girl ♥️)
I gained 70lbs during my pregnancy:/ it’s be 4 months I lost 50lbs, lost most of my weight during the first weeks of postpartum now it’s going kinda slow I’m breast-feeding so can’t go on no crazy diet to lose the last 20
I don't have kids but I love watching your videos in general. I love how much body positivity you spread. You do look amazing, I hope you feel that way too and thanks for the videos!! Hugs for the baby 😍
Luckily, i lost 39 pounds in 4 months. During my pregnancy I gained +16 kg and in 4 months i got in my pre pregnancy weight and I even lost 2 kg 😍 as much for the breastfeeding part i do not eat a lot, I eat actually twice a day most of the time i skip breakfast and i am exclusively pumping because my baby refuses my breast and still the milk is pretty nutritious. It just depends on the body.
Yess me tooo!!! I am more hungrier on brestfeeding than when i was pregnant😫 and gained lot of weight because of breastfeeding. People keep saying if you beeastfeeding you will easily lose weight but for me NO. 😌 The hungry and thirst after breastfeeding the baby are no joke
This video has been soooo for incredibly helpful. I have watched it at least 5 times. Twice before I gave birth and atleast 3 times after. Thank you!!!! The pictures have been so helpful as well.
I just relaxed myself and satisfied all the cravings i had the stress was too high too, so 11 years later I’m in my perfect original shape 😂 #betterlatethannever
Thank you so much for this video!! I needed it lol. I had a baby literally a week ago and one of the biggest things I’ve been trying to figure out is how to loose the baby weight and still be able to breastfeed. Thanks so much!!😊❤️❤️
As someone who exclusively studies pregnancy, postpartum, and infant nutrition - woman need more calories breastfeeding than they did in pregnancy! And that includes nutrients! Also, you’re more like to hold on to a little more fat when breastfeeding for nutrient stores! The human body is MAGNIFICENT 😍 first time mama here, also
Love the video niki, that blouse is gorgeous and great info. The music is nice too, but could u maybe turn it about 50% down next video? It’s a little bit too loud for me to hear you very well 🙈 love from Wisconsin!
I just watched your other with hacks during pregnancy to get your prepared, would you say all those things helped ? For instance for coconut and aloe Vera for tearing and the teas to prepare for labor?
I gained 48lbs and lost 33 lbs after I had my daughter, but I really need to lose 20 more lbs. But I just want to eat junk food all the time. I crave salty carbs! I guess I'll try Melissa wood workouts. Your baby is so beautiful!
I still looked 6 month pregnant 1 week pp and same with 2 week pp and I didn't do any exercise. Even 1 month pp I still looked 6 months pregnant. I didn't start working out until my baby was over a year
Wow I gained 40lbs too n I actually looked normal cause I was so damn skinny before my pregnancy. Idk how I’m lighter now than I was before I got pregos which is irritating.
Hello Niki In so glad I came trow your channel congratulations on your baby Im currently 32 weeks pregnant just on time for this tips 🙏🏻 I was wondering what size did you get on the belly band trainer
Looked on Good American...saw how much the top she had on...click X to close the website haha. And that top looks way better on her then the model from the store.
Love ur look as always . 💃🥰 I lost a lot of weight after my son born now I’m a 43.1kg and my Heights is 1.76 cm I want back my weight 54 kg but can’t get back 😔
meylan87 after pregnancy it’s my first child and it’s hard with the first baby when u alone and also I lost my appetite for food I ate all day fruits like apple ,grapes, pear and pomegranate . No more fast foods and fried food after this foods I fell sick now . This all after pregnancy start

So true! My baby was actually dehydrated and in the hospital because she wasn't getting enough nutrients from my milk. The doctor said my milk was practically water 😔 I made changes to my diet and supplemented with formula for 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! Took me a full year to lose 70lbs that I gained with my pregnancy! You're amazing!
This is encouraging to read! I gained 80lbs with my recent pregnancy. I’ve lost 30 lbs in the first month but still having 50lbs more feels terrible for me 😭
I've never been pregnant, but you got into great shape fast, i didn't even realize it's been 3mo
wow
thank you!

My mom was her skinniest after her third and last pregnancy. I hope I got her genes😅

@@jessicah9311 Thank you. I do mostly body weight exercises and used to weight lift pretty hard core. I will absolutely give it a shot again!
Twinning!

But breastfeeding hunger is even worse than pregnancy hunger!!!
I lost 20 pounds in 2 years lol 😂
1year for me slow and steady wins the race:-)
Me too
Hey progress is progress no matter how slow! I actually prefer to lose weight slowly because it decreases the chance of loose skin!
😂😂😂
I keep gaining weight at my 4month post partum 😢
First time Moms always drop their weight fast esp. if your already skinny before giving birth.
2, 3 or 4 baby’s more it’s be different and longer time to drop the weight.
It’s been proven fact!
I just had my first baby in May and I lost all 41 pounds I gained in 2 months
I wish this was true for all first time moms, but that isn't always the case. I gained 60lbs with my first baby, lost 30lbs after birth. Now I can't get rid of the other 30lbs, or my loose belly.
Had no idea you were so tall !!! I’m 5’8 and am inspired to wear heals now- you rock them well ! Video idea: shoes /clothing
for tall girls?
I just starting a workout program kind of like the one you're using for about 2 weeks now and I love it. No equipment required.

5'10"? Nuts! I had no idea you were so tall!
haha yep!
I'm from Spain so I'm a little lost here...Isn't 5'10 like a meter and a half or so? I'm 5' 90 (1'80 m)
SallyEsMala it is about 1,78 m
Sally th-cam.com/video/RHRxXbSHuHI/w-d-xo.html

Breastfeeding. It is the magic. I had 3 kids and every time I lost all baby weight in 3 months by eating chocolate and breastfeeding.
haha love it! wish that was the case for me!
Niki Sky but my normal weight is also not as slim as yours
I am exclusively breastfeeding and 11 weeks PP and still have 20 lbs to loose. I excersize with light weights and walk. I gained 36 lbs. So only 16 lost within the first 2 weeks and now I am plataued...

Girl you look amazing It took me about 9/10 months to lose all the baby weight with both my kids .
thank you! and that's perfectly normal! everyone's body is different, and everyone goes at a different pace
I gained 40 doing IVF and I think at almost 7 months I've gained another 20. I imagine I'll gain another 10-15. I dread losing this weight
YAAAS. this video is perfect timing as I’m procrastinating everything in life. 👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣

Food cravings while breastfeeding... it’s hard 😅
Greetings from Germany!

Yes breastfeeding! I was underweight after 2 months 😱
You look amazing, Niki! Did you use anything to help with stretch marks when you were pregnant?
so proud of you
ahh thank you beauty! always love seeing comments from you
Losing weight after my second baby has been hard, My belly weight drives me knots. 🤦♀️
I just watched your other with hacks during pregnancy to get your prepared, would you say all those things helped ? For instance for coconut and aloe Vera for tearing and the teas to prepare for labor?
I gained 48lbs and lost 33 lbs after I had my daughter, but I really need to lose 20 more lbs. But I just want to eat junk food all the time. I crave salty carbs! I guess I'll try Melissa wood workouts. Your baby is so beautiful!
I still looked 6 month pregnant 1 week pp and same with 2 week pp and I didn't do any exercise. Even 1 month pp I still looked 6 months pregnant. I didn't start working out until my baby was over a year
Thank you for sharing this video, I was waiting for this ,it's going to be so helpful

It is not realistic for women to get their pre-baby bodies back 100%. Don't take stress about it!
So many great tips
so actually you lost only 15lbs in 3 month! Title is misguiding!
She says in the first 5 mins, she lots 20 pounds just at the birth.
Niki do you think a belly band will be useful for someone trying to lose weight even if they didn't gave birth?
possibly! it can help pull the abdominal muscles in from what i read, but do some research on it to be sure! :)
Yes
What yoga mat are you using? It looks so plush & comfy!
omg i wish i knew! my mom got it for me (she's a personal trainer) haha
