While mothers should allow their bodies to recover and not begin a workout and diet program immediately after pregnancy and labor, they should be aware of the risks of failing to lose weight after pregnancy. A study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists looked at the effects of not losing the postpartum pregnancy weight on long-term obesity.

According to the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the middle-aged and elderly are most overweight. Interestingly, these weight problems begin at a much younger age. Men and women aged 25-34 show the highest increase in weight gain. Unfortunately, this is at a time when the majority of women become pregnant. The recommended weight gain during pregnancy is approximately 25-30 pounds and was established by the Institute of Medicine. This guideline was developed after studies suggested that increased pregnancy weight gain led to decreased infant birth weight. Adhering to the recommended pregnancy weight gain guidelines leads to healthier babies and leads to better success to lose weight after pregnancy.

The study focused on the ability of women to lose their postpartum weight within 6 months. With regards to long-term obesity, the study found that women who were able to lose their maternal weight had a lower body mass index (BMI) in later years. The women who adhered to the weight guidelines were on average 11 pounds heavier at the 10 year follow-up, while the women who gained excess weight throughout their pregnancy were on average 17 pounds heavier at the 10 year follow-up. The study also found that breastfeeding did not have an advantageous effect on short-term weight loss but did lead to a lower weight gain a decade later. This is contradictory to advice on losing weight after pregnancy which claims that breastfeeding has an immediate effect on short-term weight loss.
