After your baby was born how much weight did you lose within the first week? My friend told me when she had her son she automatically lost over 20 lbs.

my first i lost about 18 when i left the hospital.... then about 20 more the first month.i lost my weight very fast... but everyone is different...i would recommend eating healthy and walking as much as u can...but youll def. loose 15 lbs or more the first week

i lost weight pretty fast too...it depends if you actually packed on the pounds, or if it was more water weight :)

I lost the normal "baby" weight after delivery (i.e. about 15lbs) but other than that I didn't loose a pound until I stopped b___stfeeding at one year.

With my most recent I lost 20 lbs. right away (my son was 10 1/2 lbs. of that!) + the placenta + amniotic fluid, etc. I lost another 20 lbs. in the next few weeks, but I think it was mostly water weight- I was EXTREMELY swollen (from feet up to hips) after delivery. Then I gained while b___stfeeding. Now I'm done b___stfeeding and the weight is again beginning to come off. Go figure!?!

I dont know lbs but the day after I had my babe I had lost 16 Kg's (but then I never picked up weight in my pregnancy) and I guess I lost it because previously I only ate junk and when I found out I went all health freaky!!

Don't freak out if you don't lose a big portion the first week. When I got home from the hospital I weighed one pound more than when I went in. I was shocked - How could a 6 1/2 pound baby come out and I didn't even lose that much?!? The weight started slowly dropping off about a week later. I gained around 25 pounds with the pregnancy. It took about 6 months (no special diet or exercise) before it was all gone. They say 9 months on, 9 months off.

It also depends on how much you gained during your pregnancy. I weighed 116 before my first pregnancy and gained 41. My first week I lost about 16lbs. It then took me another month to loose 7lbs, I went down to a new weight of 128, and a size 6/7 (was a 0 before). It sometimes takes a while, but it eventually comes off. I am now pregnant with my second and at 38w6d weight 160 on the dot. Thankfully I haven't gained as much weight this time around, hoping to not gain 6 pant sizes when its all over either...lol!!
