The previous posters have made some great points about being gentle with your body and respecting thr journey you have undertaken.
I can't believe some women lost the weight within a week of giving birth, that's amazing! For me, it took a lot longer - I don't even know how much I put on with DD, but I stopped weighing myself when I'd put on more than 20kgs... basically I felt healthy, my Obs was not at all concerned with my weight (didn't even weigh me once) and I didn't see any point in depressing myself! After all, I was growing a beautiful baby!
Once she was born, I tried to be reasonably active, by walking lots with the pram - that didn't seem to really help, it took me a good 9mths to get back into my pre-preg clothes. Like the PPs, my body shape has changed somewhat as well!
Then I conceived the bubs I am now carrying and at 24wks, I have only put on about 6kgs. I have no idea why it is so different - still BF, running around after a toddler, all that combined I guess! So I'm not sure how long it'll take me to drop the weight after this little guy is born but for me it won't really be an issue.
I don't think I've lost any of it...I haven't been game enough to jump on a set of scales
I walk a fair bit, at least once a day for around 45 mins with the dog, and then if I go to the shops I'll walk there as well because it's really close to home. I haven't been watching what I'm eating though so that may have something to do with it...I'm only walking off the chocolate I've been eating
