2 wk PP weight - what a joke!

So I was at my inlaws on Saturday and thought I'd do a quick weight check, since it's the only scale I've been near since I gave birth at home 2 weeks ago.

Mind you, I was 127 pre-pg, gained 24lbs (putting me at 151 total). I don't mind saying that I feel like I'm looking pretty dang good for being 2 weeks PP with my 3rd. My LO was 8lbs, plus the placenta, water, etc...

So I confidently step on the scale, look down and see these numbers staring back at me:

144

WTH?!? Another way my MIL is trying to get under my skin, I'm sure of it...

Re: 2 wk PP weight - what a joke!

  • I feel your pain! I stepped on the scale yesterday, at 10 days PP, and was shocked to see what I saw! 

    I was 147 pre-pregnancy, gained 40 lbs, and even though I thought I was looking pretty darn good, apparently my scale thinks otherwise, since it read 166 yesterday Crying

    Sigh...20 lbs down, 20 to go...

    Hugs. I'm sure you look great, and your MIL fixed her scale!

  • I feel ya sister. I'm 5 weeks pp and still have abt half my weight to lose. I'm not eating a lot of eating unhealthy so I'm not sure why i haven't dropped more. Even BFing. Who knows, getting frustrating though :(

  • My last weigh in at the OB before I had DD was 172. I gained 20lbs with him and this morning when i stepped on the scale it read 146. I was happy since that is 3-4lbs under my pre-PG weight, but its still 20-25lbs heavier then i really want to weigh.

  • I hate it when people screw with the scale! Your MIL is obviously a b!tch like my midwife. Wink There`s no way I`ve gained 36lbs this pregnancy. *goes back to eating oreo`s*

    Hahaha! <<<steals an oreo>>> Since I gained a whoppping 60 pounds with the pregnancy, I was thrilled to be down 30 a little over two weeks PP. But on Saturday I'm going back to weight watchers, so not too many oreos (just a few) in my future, lol...

    Ooooooooo, try getting the stomach flu like I did last week. Wink I went to my midwife appointment yesterday and was down a few pounds. Now it looks like I`ve only gained 33lbs so far and since I`m late I probably won`t be weighed again before LO finally shows up. Big Smile Silver linning baby, silver linning.
