Is it possible to lose more weight after pregnancy than you started with?

The title makes no sense at all, sorry for that! A girlfriend of mine got pregnant two years ago and she gained 85 pounds and became 200something pounds. Since then she has shed all of her pregnancy weight and is well below her pre-pregnancy weight and is a size 2 when she was a size 10. She says she didn't diet or exercise at all. She never breast fed, she was just very much involved with her son and running around with him that she shed the weight.
Do you think this is believable ?

Yes. It can happen. I lost 20 lbs before my last daughter was born, after she came, I lost 45 more pounds in 4 days in the hospital. I have gained lord knows how much this final pregnancy, and I have a feeling I will lose some in the hospital again. But for me, I am very active in the community, have 2 dogs to take care of, which I take up and down the stairs every 2 hours. ( I have lost a little bit, something like 7 lbs taking the dogs up and down from the second floor).
Yes… she probably didnt eat much either. Typically when that happens the person doesn’t eat. And who wants to admit that they starve themselves? I believe its a combination of calorie restriction (severe) and being more active ( running around with the new baby)
it’s possible…but if she is normally a size ten and it was overweight for her, and she should have been smaller, maybe she is at a healthier size..but it almost sounds like she would look sickly or something…from that vast of a size difference..our bodies are amazing things..if she wasn’t active before, she will be active with a child, and maybe that is what was needed..but i don’t know the whole situation…if u notice her not eating, or going to the bathroom right after eating each time, there could be some sort of disorder there…but i can’t know from just assumption..
Yes i only gained 7 lbs thank God while pregnant and i have already lost 20 so i am doing good
yes maybe where she was Activee with her son she had less time to eat a meal. or maybe her metabolismm is fast and she burns off food easily.. different for everyone
its possible………………………….
