Any loss is good. you should be proud of yourself.0

I've been stuck between 155-157 for the past 6 weeks, Ive been walking a ton but not doing any intense exercise. I'm guessing I'm going to need to cut carbs/sugar and work out more to get the scale to move.0

Made it down to 170 on Friday. I haven't seen the 160s since April 2013 (when I was 17 weeks pregnant with #1), so I'm eagerly anticipating 169.2

Down to 156 this morning! I've lost 4 lbs in a month. I'm excited to finally start seeing some results.

I gained that stupid 0.4 back ahh! Like @LisaTcan I think I need to limit carbs. Will try harder this week.
@SusanMFindlay well done! Have you made it into the 160s?
@amgreenwell 4lbs in a month is amazing!!! Well done to you!1 -

@SusanMFindlay well done! Have you made it into the 160s?
Yes, I did! Thanks for asking!
Got down to 167 last week. PMS hit. Back up to 170. Back down to 168 as of this morning, and hoping to see 167 (or lower) again tomorrow morning.1 -
Just had my little one yesterday! Now to recover from a csection and get back to feeling good! Before pregnancy 165 when delivered 200lbs and when I get out of the hospital I will check to see where I am to start!

Congratulations, Tiffany!
If you're someone who worries about the number on the scale, DO NOT stand on it for at least two weeks after you get home. Your body will retain crazy huge amounts of water while it heals from the C-section. (Seriously! I was puffier around the middle leaving the hospital than I was when I went in and there was still a baby inside!) When your body is ready to let go of that water, you'll have a few days of hardcore peeing and lose ~10 pounds in a few days. (Just checked my numbers from my C-section birth. Went into the hospital weighing 222; left 5 days later weighing 205 - but very very puffy around the middle; 6 days later, I weighed 195. The water retention is very very real.)
Also, be gentle to yourself. I actually spent a fair amount of time in a wheely office chair as I could not stand up or sit down while holding baby for the first week or so. (I could stand up and sit down by myself, but if I wanted to move, I had to get someone to hold the baby for me while I did that. Or I could wheel myself around in the desk chair while holding baby.)5 -

Thanks for the info! I am on day 5 of recovery and I did step on the scale right when I got home but not to concerned about it because I still have a lot of gas and water I need to get rid of but that just takes time I went in at 200 and now am at 187 so I can't complain to much. After much needed healing I plan on getting in on an actual weigh in group would love to have post partum friends on here to join me so feel free to add me 1 -

So a month later the scale is hanging around 155, instead of 157..I guess thats progress? Hah! I'm thinking I won't be able to seriously lose weight until I stop breastfeeding (my plan is to wean at 6 months as I have low supply and I'm already supplementing anyways).4
