So I'm 8 days pp today and have lost about 20 of the 40 pounds I have gained. I am nursing shouldn't I be losing more of this weight or dies it take a few more days for things to start losing all this extra water/fluid ?!?

    Remember it took 9 months to gain 40 lbs, it is not realistic to lose all 40 lbs in a week.  I think a 20 lb weight loss is great.  I gained a little less than 30 lbs last time and lost everything but 5 lbs by 6 weeks PP.  It took me about 4-6 months to finally start fitting into my old clothes.  GL

    When I had DS1 I lost 25lbs in the first 6 weeks (I didn't weigh myself till the post pardum appointment) and after that maybe lost 5 more in the total of 7 months I breast feed. So i ended up having to work off the last 20lbs. 

    My mom breastfeed my sister the whole first year and didn't lose hardly anything.

    So I guess its different with everyone.

    seriously!! Give it more time. Losing half the gain in 1/40th of the time it took to gain is nothing to sneeze at. The rest just comes off more gradually. Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories, but find those calculations about how many calories you have to burn in order to lose a pound of fat. It will happen, just not quite that fast.

    Nine months in nine months out!!! There is no way your going to loose it all in a week thats just unrealistic.  Plus if your bfing remember your new bigger fuller boobs have some weight to them too.

    I left the hospital with DD1 only weighing one lb less than when I went in.  I nursed her for 6 weeks then EP'd for 7 months.  I hardly lost any weight while nursing/pumping.  It didn't really start coming off until I stopped.  

    I'm just over 2 weeks out with DD2 and have lost 24 lbs, granted I gained about 50... The fluid started coming off for me around day 10ish.
