I just had a baby! I want to lose the weight but since I am unable to do much more than walk I will do that and eat good. I am also breastfeeding so that should help. Anyone trying to shed baby weight as well want to be friends? If you lost it how and how long did it take. Cheers! I lost 14 lbs since delivery. I think that's normal water weight though.

    Congratulations! I woudl say eat right & walk when you can but don't always count on breastfeeding to lose weight. Most people do but not everyone. Don't think anything is wrong if it doesn't melt away. I stayed pretty stuck even with eating right. Make sure to take in enough calories to support breastfeeidng. After I quit breastfeeding, I was able to drop about 10 pounds in about 5-6 weeks. Good luck and congratulations again!
