already lost more than half the "baby weight"

I have officially lost 23 of the 38lbs I gained at 9 days postpartum. AND my boobs are at least 5lbs heavier lol. I have 15lbs (or more? could healthily loose another 15 or so, but then would have to work to maintain because anything lower would be unhealthy) to go!! Tandem nursing does wonders. I did the math the other day. The average infant takes in 25oz a day (you need about 500 calories to make this) my 3.5 year old is a more efficient nurser. She can easily take 25 oz a day but some days will probably only take 15oz in. So i need like an extra 800 calories a day. So days that i want to junk out, i totally can. And I am still going down. The rest of the time i eat very healthy, mostly whole foods.

I can't wait to see how long it takes to go down the rest  

Tandem nursing ftw lol

Last time I barely went down. I could not loose a lb while breastfeeding until 6m pp

This maybe a stupid question but what is Tandem nursing? Is it nursing both kids at the same time or? Sorry never heard of it before so was just curious.

Yeah its nursing more than one baby. I nurse my 3.5 year old and my newborn.

Cool and congrats also good look with the other 15 pounds sounds like it should come off pretty fast

Woohoo! Tandem nursing alone is major but so close to pre-preg weight not even two weeks after having P... Omg amazing! And I'm jealo you can junk out. I have to maintain healthy eating just to stay where I'm at lol

Its weird, like for the first time ever its just falling off.

 
not complaining

That's awesome!!!

Wahoo!!!

Yay! Thats so great!

That is awesome!! I lost 40 of the 50 I gained within a few months but 9 days is great!! Just remember that your body might hold onto the last 7-10 lb for a while since it knows you are BF. Once my LO got a lot older I finally got below PP weight by 5 lb. As soon as we quit nursing I gained about 6 back, boooo lol.
