I gained 32 kg’s during my pregnancy, fastforward 7 months post delivery i am down from 92 to 70.1 today, i am almost seeing the number sixty-something! My original weight was 60, so i an really excited to start seeing this number on my scale and i think it will give me a HUGE push and motivation to continue losing the weight! Oh my God i am so excited, even though i am suffering post partum depression but if i saw this number alot of things will change in my self esteem

    You are obviously doing something right, so just keep on doing it. Well done.

    Do remember that the last 10 lbs can be incredibly slow, and a goal of .5 a week is quite reasonable as you don't have as much excess fat to burn, and you don't want to burn valuably muscle just for a faster loss.

    Don't panic if the scale wavers up and down a couple of pounds during the week, look for a downward trend over time. A trending app, happyscale or libra, may help.

    Cheers, h.
