    The only other question I would ask is are you breast feeding? Even if you are not I would say that your body is just catching up with all the great changes you have made plus the increase in activity.. Also... Lots of fluid post partum gets released.... so three cheers and keep it up.
    Oh and if you are breast feeding that just adds to it.... To produce milk is alot of calorie expenditure...

    Your body has released a water store. It now trusts you to do that. Means you are doing everything right - low sodium, lower carbs, low alcohol, no sweeteners etc - all stuff that make you retain water. Sometimes your body just needs time to adjust to trusting your'e not going to starve it to death.....:laugh:

    Well done you! :flowerforyou:
