    After a few weeks sitting at 165, I had my "whoosh" down to 161.5 this morning.

    I really doubt if I will loose weight this week as Fri sat has been not good at all.
    How do you guys keep up during weekend.

    My weekend wasn't the greatest - we visited my in-laws and there was lots of good food there. I gained 1.5 pounds, but hopefully if I get back to it today that gained weight won't stick around!

    1.5 pounds is probably just fluctuation from water weight. Nothing to worry about unless it happens every week.

    Almost 9 months post partum
    And I'm down almost 50 pounds... little background... I was usually around 145-150 I'm 5"8 so it's a good weight for me. Had issues holding pregnancy so I was put on progesterone... went up to 180 before I even got pregnant... delivered my son I march at 245 pounds!!! Today I weigh 197... still a long way to go... I would like to be 160 by march and def back to 150 by June. Any encouragement would help... also I am just starting to excercise tomorrow have done this with dieting only.

    142.2 this morning, so 14 ln above pre pregnancy weight at 4 weeks post partum.
    Weight loss definitely slowed sown after week 2, but at least numbers on the scale are going in the right direction

    Made it as low as 140 last week, then back to 143 :( Dissapointing, i was hoping to at least not be overweight aka above 136 for my md appointment next week but I don't think it will happen.
    So hard to eat the right things when caring for a little one full time!

    Stuck at 140 at 6 weeks postpartum, still got 12 lbs to go for prepreg weight and 25 till desired weight...
    Weight loss is slow, even if i barely find time to eat...

    I'm 10 months pp and I've been down 45ish + or -4 since September. Ahh. Time to get on track again. I'm now at 196. Well, I was before the Christmas weekend and also want to get to a similar goal. And am also 5 ft 9 so will be aiming to keep up with your loss!

    160 yesterday morning and this morning. (Retaining a bunch of water from PMS/TOM; hoping for a "whoosh" down into the 150s later this week if I don't overindulge *too* much this week.)

    152! I stopped breastfeeding and seem to be dropping weight a little faster now. Hoping to get to 145 by Valentines Day.

    144.4 at 8 weeks postpartum, or 12.4 lb above pre pregnancy.
    Holidays put me at a huge setback but I am ready to get back on track ;)

    I am 6 weeks postpartum and starting back at it! My current weight is 205 which is 7lbs more than my pre pregnancy weight. I gained 34 lbs in total. I want to lose that last 7lbs plus more! I was working on losing weight prior to pregnancy and I am going to continue now that I have my sweet baby

    158.5 this morning. A new low, so it looks like I didn't indulge *too* much over the holidays.

    So I'm still stuck at 152, looks like I've been this weight for a month! If I'm honest with myself I'm not really keeping my calories low enough to lose weight quickly. I've been weight lifting and doing lots of cardio though so I feel like I'm starting to get back to my previous shape.

    My new goal is to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time my LO is 9 months old. That gives me 3.5 months to lose 17lbs.

    If you just started more intense exercise, you could definitely be retaining water.. when I changed things up the scale jumped up 2-3lbs and stayed that way for 6 weeks or so. Also, I know this sounds so cliche, but try not to put so much pressure on yourself and rush weight loss... you will get there! It took me ~5 months to lose the last 10lbs.. it was very slow but I am so glad I did it that way because it gave my body time to get back to normal and my composition was so much better for it.
    Good luck!

    Thanks for this! It really is helpful to remind myself. In the past I've done best losing weight slowly. I should remind myself.

    Hit 154 on Saturday morning. (Then it was my birthday - so sushi + cake = water weight for a few days.)

    Hello!
    I was 226 at my heaviest in December.
    216 when I got home from the hospital.
    193.8 as of yesterday
    Goal is 178 - my pre-pregnancy weight before my first pregnancy. Hoping to get there by mid-May!
