I was also really swollen at the end so I think a lot of that was weight from retained fluid. I EBF for a year and if anything had an oversupply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201404 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 14:24:38 +0000 dc yoga bee 2201404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: lol yeah no the supply (and demand) is there! As I lose the weight, my peanut is packing it on. We make a nice team lol!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201379 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:18:36 +0000 SweetiePie 2201379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Yep! Cold sweat, that's what happened to me too. So I am guessing that's where a lot of your weight went.<br /> Agree with @singingbee, I wouldn't worry unless your supply is being impacted (and judging from another thread of yours it sounds like that's not an issue! :-) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201375 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:11:38 +0000 singingbee 2201375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I wouldn't worry as long as your supply seems normal. I went to my six week appt weighing less than I did when I was prepregnancy. I didn't gain a lot, but lost a lot of fluid from the ivs and then hbp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201374 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:08:40 +0000 dc yoga bee 2201374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Yes! I was shaking I was so cold, but was hot and drenched in sweat last week. It's pretty much stopped now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201365 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 12:45:49 +0000 SweetiePie 2201365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee:<br /> I think I had lost 25 of my 40 lbs but I was very swollen at the end. Not pre-e like you, but it was bad. (Like I got comments on the regular from friends and strangers alike!) And then I was induced which can ended in c sec and on fluids for like 4 days which made it insanely worse. I found in the first couple of weeks I was sweating like crazy and I think that's how I lost a lot of the water weight. I would wake up and my PJs would be soaked. Have you been sweating a lot? My PP Doula said that's how my body was getting rid of the water.<br /> I was EP'ing too, not BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201343 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 11:37:28 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2201343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 143 pre pregnancy, gained 25lbs &amp; was shocked to be down 18 yesterday at 9d pp. My ankles &amp; feet are like elephant legs :sad: , so I definitely still have plenty of water weight to lose, along with a pretty squishy middle. LO is nursing like a champ &amp; I'm hungry all the time, though, so I'm not worried about eating a lot (of mostly healthy stuff) to keep up with feeding her. Eager to get out &amp; start exercising some, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2201254 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:23:43 +0000 Pumuckl 2201254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: don't worry too much about it. A lot of the weight is baby, water, placenta, additional blood etc. when you were swollen that will attribute to a lot of the weight loss too. I was pretty much back to my pregnancy weight by 3 weeks PP with both my kids and never had any supply issues BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2200997 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 14:44:08 +0000 mrsrain 2200997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: It sounds like a lot of your weight-loss is probably water-weight. It is natural to lose that weight quickly as your pre-e resolves and your body heals. But, of course, if you are concerned or if you notice an impact on your milk supply you should call your doctor/midwife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-2200984 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 14:06:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 2200984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*bump* my 6 week checkup is in another month, and I've been worried I'm losing too fast with breastfeeding since everything I read says only lose 1lb a week breastfeeding! I've lost 27 of 37 pounds at 2 weeks postpartum. I was super swollen at the end due to pre-e, 3 days of IVs and pitocin,<br /> Etc.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-328913 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 01:02:13 +0000 littleveesmommy 328913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at 2 weeks pp I had lost 10 of the 38 I gained. I gained 5-7 lbs at the last two weeks so I'm thinking it was swelling and water weight, but it took a while for the scale to start budging. Then after 1.5 months it started dropping fast, probably from BF, and I lost all 38 by 4 months pp. Now at 8 months pp I am actually 10 lb below pre-pregnancy weight aka wedding weight (yah I gained 10 lbs of happy weight the first year of marriage!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-328808 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 20:50:21 +0000 kylahnzoesmommy 328808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i lost about 20lbs of the 35lbs i had originally gained... 7 weeks pp and i am 5lbs from my prepreggo weight... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-312816 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:18:17 +0000 jennylynn 312816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained a total of 29 lbs, and when I weighed myself at 3 weeks pp, I had 10 to go. I could button a few pairs of my baggier pants at 2 weeks pp, but it wasn't pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-312657 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:53:57 +0000 cvbee 312657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to know. Hid from the scale until I could fit into my pants. Got home and figured I'd try my pants: big mistake---sooo far from closing. Crawled back into my maternity clothes and stayed there til maybe 4 weeks PP, when I got the courage to try again. At that point, everything fit and I think then I stepped onto the scale and had about 10 more pounds to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-312632 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:37:08 +0000 Leece10 312632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained 35lbs during pregnancy and lost half of it by 3 weeks PP.

At 2 days pp I had lost 12 (baby was 8 lb 6 oz). At 1 week pp I had lost 17. As of today, 9 days pp, I have lost 21. Still have a very noticeable belly though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-270998 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 17:24:24 +0000 MsMini 270998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't quite remember, I put on 10 pounds right at the end of my pregnancy due to swelling. I ended up down 20 pounds (down to 10 pounds below pre-pregnancy weight) at 2 weeks-ish pp. I lost another 15 pounds over the next month, so by 6 weeks pp I was down 25 pounds from pre-preg by then. Unfortunately despite my efforts I haven't lost any more since then :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-270960 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 16:04:47 +0000 plantains 270960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 20lbs.

I'm definitely going to need to work to regain muscle tone though...I walked a ton and swam during pregnancy and yet the ratio of fat:muscle in my legs and belly is definitely inverted from pre-pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-270860 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:58:50 +0000 chrispygal 270860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained a ton, like 75 pounds - and I started off being overweight. Ugh. I had extreme swelling issues and lost 35 pounds in the first week PP. And then I lost nothing for the next five weeks. I've started working to get the rest off and am down 12 pounds in the past 2 weeks, which is not the norm for me. It seems to me that the weight is coming off easier than it normally does although I will say that I am super committed to losing this weight so I am being very strict. I will get to my pre-pregnancy weight if its the last thing I do! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-270858 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:56:35 +0000 hilsy85 270858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Ha yeah on the other hand maybe I don't want the evidence of my lack of weight loss in my face... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-lost-2-weeks-pp/page/2#post-270857 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:55:47 +0000 pastemoo 270857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I thought it would be awesome until I was *never* in the recommended weight gain region.
