will anyone share their post preg weight losss story? i am 8 weeks pp and have lost all but 7 lbs. i gained 37. i know that i am doing great, but i haven't lost anything ina week and am getting nervous the weight has stopped coming off. do i need to start working out (no time!), dieting? (don't wanna!). is it common to have a week where nothing comes off and then have it start coming off again? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

That's not really true. (But it's a nice saying). If in another week, the weight has stopped you need to step it up and revisit what you're doing. Are you eating too much? too little? The wrong things. Change it up, cut some carbs, whatever. You shouldn't take another 7 months to lose 7 lbs. [ Reply | More

That's assuming you want to lose weight fast. If you're not in a rush, the weight will probably be off by 9months out--assumming you've continued eating right. [ Reply | More

this is so ridiculous that you're clearly obsessing about this already! give yourself a break. it takes a few months, easily 4 till you lose most of the weight, and if you're breastfeeding, those last few pounds only go away once you stop. plus, you're prob not sleeping enough, which also affects weight loss.
