Post Partum Weight

So i just had to share with everyone. I weighed myself yesterday and it was the highlight of my day. I delivered my little girl on August 7th and when i delivered i weighed 189. when i left the hospital i weighed 180. Yesterday i weighed 165. Which is my pre pregnancy weight. and i can fit into my pre pregnancy jeans. it made me so excited. so now i jsut need to lose the weight i had before i got pregnant before the hubby comes home. but i just wanted to share my exciting day. thanks for letting me share.

yay congrats!!! that was quick! i hope i get back to my preprego weight as fast as you did! Keep working hard! im sure your husband will think you look amazing!

how did you lose the weight?

Congrats!! I had an easier time this time dropping the weight. I carried a lot more weight with my girl than I did my boy. It's nice to not feel like a blimp though isn't it!!

I have no clue. I am breast feeding and i had to take water pills because i was retainingg the fluid really bad to the point where i couldnt move my ankles. but i havent done anything special. i hope he thinks i look amazing its hard work having a baby. lol.

yes. i am so glad i dont feel huge anymore. i fit into my jeans a week after i had her. it was so exciting. i only gained weight in my stomach though so i guess that helped. but man it is nice to not feel like im going to hit something or trip or anything like that.

Did you work out at all or did it just come off and do you breastfeed? I am starting to think about how I really want to get back down to my old size after the baby comes and a lot of people have told me that if you breastfeed (which I plan to do), the pounds just melt off. But I was wondering if I worked out also, if that would be too much.

I called my doctor and told her about how i was retaining fluid. LIke it was really bad all of sudden i couldnt walk anymore withough my feet becoming 3 times bigger. she gave them to me and they work. within two days all that fluid was gone.

im going to talk to my doctor about that on thursday.... and if i dont get them then i will have to resort to green tea pills after baby!

I havent worked out at all. I am just BFing right now. i plan to start to work at when my doc gives me the ok. but they just melted off 24lbs in a little over 2 weeks. i was afraid i wasnt going to lose the weight because i usually am the one who can work out eat healthy and still not lose weight. but BFing does wonders to the body.

yea i LOVE my doctor. i had a few complications during delivery so i had the IV hooked up to me for almost 2 days total. so i was retaining alot of the fluid they put in me and plus the IV fused my vein so all the fluid just went into my arm and stayed there. yes and i want to start working out just to get rid of the belly jiggle that i didnt have before i got pregnant.

my friend dropped most of the weight in 2 weeks and she didnt breastfeed... so it does depend on the body ...

thats true. but i swore it was going to take forever. but i am glad it didnt. i wish i was one of those girls that look like they never had a baby. they make me sad when i see their bodies lol.

Yeah, I'll look in the mirror and it's almost like I forgot, lol. Sometimes I catch myself trying to dodge things from hitting my pregnant belly though!!
