After delivery weight!

I know everyone is different, but I'm just curious as to how much weight everyone lost after delivering your baby and whether you ate healthy, or ate junk food during your pregnancy & whether you were breastfeeding or exercising after giving birth? Was it easy to lose the weight? Thanks in advance(:

I gained 50 lb with my first and lost 30 of it by my 6 week appointment. I was breastfeeding and had just started lightly working out at home.

With my first I gained 50 lbs after I lost 25lbs then the rest was fat. I didn't breastfeed, eat healthy or exercise so I never lost it. This one I gained 26 lbs I lost 20 lbs after having him 2 months ago I do breastfeed but I don't exercise and I don't eat that healthy but healthier than I did before. I can't seem to get rid of these last 6 lbs so we will see. But its worth it for my kids but I wish I had the will power to lose it

my twins are two weeks old and I already weigh less than my prepregnancy weight. I wouldn't say I ate healthy by any means, but not all junk. I only gained fourteen pounds and gave birth to fourteen and a half pounds of baby (not to mention weight of amniotic fluid and placenta). I didn't exercise while pregnant, but do have two toddlers I was constantly running after plus a busy work schedule. not exercising now, but I am breastfeeding.
I think another factor is that I was overweight to begin with

I gained 16 pounds with my daughter.  I lost all of it the first month.  I'm formula feeding.
I ate junk food a couple times a week while i was pregnant, but i also ate a salad and went on walks everyday.
For me it was easy to lose the weight.  I started exercising 5 weeks after having my daughter.
