weight loss, help me feel better

ks3pink

I am almost 6 weeks pp and have only lost 24 of the 43 lbs I gained. I actualy had lost almost 34 lbs at 2 weeks pp. Obviously I am not working out in any way yet, honestly the thought exhausts me. I can tell I am losing inches because my pants are getting looser but I just thought it would happen more quickly. Anyone else share my experience? Tell me it will eventually go away...

6 weeks is not very long!!! I think 24 lbs is a lot to lose in that amount of time! With my first, I gained 42 and lost about the same amount as you at that point...my 2nd, I gained 20 and still had 5 to lose at my pp check up. 

 It will come off, trust me!!

I gained over 70lbs and it took a while to lose it. WAY longer than 6w. I could only fit into 1 of my pre-pg jeans at 6w and that was only b/c it was super stretchy. I still haven't lost the last 10-15lbs and I'm just fine with that. (my kids are 2 years old) Give yourself a break!

Wow, you are doing great! Just don't worry so much about it. You will get some energy back and you will lose it. Relax.

Thanks for the reassurance! I lost all 35 lbs from my first and was back in regular clothes by 2 weeks pp so I think that is why I am giving myself such a hard time. Patience is not my strong suit!

Ditto the PPs!!!  Don't worry so much about the weight.  It will come off with time.  Just focus all of your energy on your precious little babies.  You never get this time back.  You can work on getting the weight off anytime.

I only gained 28 lbs and I am not sure how much I have lost, but I *still* cannot wear my pre-preg jeans.  Don't worry about it.  At 6 weeks you need to spend any free second sleeping!
