I kept losing, and it worried me too, mainly because I just wasn't trying to lose more. So for peace of mind I went to my doc and had a full blood count done. All was normal but the doc said pregnancy can throw off your thyroid, etc. Pregnancy has changed my body in so many little ways, one of them is just a better metabolism too! I weigh 116 and was 125 pre-baby.

I def do, although I don't know how much less I weigh, clothes that were v tight pre preg are now falling off me. I just think I don't have tome to constantly graze like I did before preg. I'm also bfing. I think I started losing weight pretty much immediately so I'm sure it's fine Hun x

I am the same to.

I did not want to lose the wieght as I was already underweight before being pregnant.

I was 7st 4lb before 9st just before having baby and now back to 6st 10lb.

I went straight back to orignal size within days of having him.

I've gone a few kilos lower than my pre-pregnancy weight and not cos I've been trying. Little worried cos my parents commented that I look very pale too.

Not yet but I hope to get there soon!! I gained 55lbs during this pregnancy (went from 145 up to 200!!) and am sitting at 160lbs now. I breastfeed lots and lost the first 40lbs within about 8 weeks but these last 15lbs are stubborn!!

It was the same with my first pregnancy too. I didn't gain quite as much but lots of weight fell off at first and then I really had to work at the last 10-15lbs. I refuse to remain above my pre-pregnancy weight though; we want a 3rd baby some day and I won't even try to conceive until I weigh my normal weight.

I'd like to drop these last 15lbs by mid-June, ready for summer when baby is 6.5 months old. I just need to cut the crap food I eat! lol

I don't think I will ever get back to my pre-pregnancy weight! I was 8 stone 3 (I'm five foot six) and am now 8 stone 9! I am hoping when I go back to work and cycle there and back again I will get back to 8 stone 3. I have a feeling it may not happen though :-)

I gained 65 lbs and lost it all. My LO is only 15 weeks. My only exercise is babywearing while doing the dishes/laundry. I do count my calories though...I try not to go over 2200/day. I think the majority of my weight loss was fluids though. I had the fattest cankles
That makes sense-I lost all my cellulite breastfeeding dd1

I still want to lose 1stone to be what I was when we got married so a way to go yet! I have had a terrible 2 months eating and exerise wise. When I go back to work I will be back to walking just over 2 miles per day!!
