40+ pounds
If you gain more than 40 pounds during your first pregnancy is it more likely that it will be hard to going bacl to being skinny?
oh I gained 65lbs with my first pregnancy.
Breast feeding did not help me, it actually have me gained 20lbs. My cousin lost 50lbs breast feeding, it caused her to not have an appetite. Breast feeding caused me to have sugar cravings. I was not much of a sweet craving person, I will sometimes dilute my soda/sweet drinks before drinking. When I started to breast feed, I craved nothing but sweets and chocolate and that is what contribute to my weight gain. I am still breast feeding my toddler who will be two in January and has yet lose any baby weight with exercise and eating healthy.
Some people lose weight with breast feeding after they wean, I am hoping with the pregnancy (baby #2) it won't be so hard to lose weight.

No, I got preeclampsia with my oldest son and gained 80lbs with my pregnancy, he was 6 months old and I already lost about 60lbs of it (I got pregnant again). It's not hard at all. Plus all doctors will tell you it takes a year before you get back to your normal size.
