PP Weight loss (PIPs)

basil2008 · July 2012

Since we shared our progress before we had our babies, I thought we could motivate each other and share photos of our progress after the babies.

I gained 60 lbs total (ugh) and I had a ton of swelling. I still do actually.
I lost a lot of fluid but still have more to go I can tell.

Here is me 1 week PP w/ 18 lbs. loss

Here is me 2 weeks PP w/ 29 lbs. loss

Here is me 3 weeks PP w/ 34 lbs. loss

I have a lot more to lose to get back to my original weight!!

Thanks! A lot of it is my uterus shrinking, me losing fluids, and breastfeeding. I've noticed my appetite isn't as strong as it was when I was pregnant too, but I haven't been cleared to work out (c-section) but I've gone on a few small walks. I was hoping to walk like crazy but it's too damn hot to bring my baby out with me!! So I'm really not working out much.

You look amazing! I know the baby (when he finally shows up) will take a few lbs with him, but I am most interested to see what the loss of fluid will do to my weight. Keep it up girl!

I haven't taken any pictures prior to today - but here is me at almost 2 weeks pp. Down 30 of the 40 lbs I gained.

This was my plan throughout my whole pregnancy as well and I'm sad it hasn't been working out. I did go out at about 9 this morning and decided to take a new route down some roads I'd never been on. Turns out those roads were just a ton of huge hills. I made it about half a mile before turning around and when I got home I stood in front of the AC and could see steam coming off my body. Though I guess the extreme sweating will probably help with the weight loss, I spend most days on the couch wishing I had either a spring or fall baby and could be outside.

You look really good to have a 3 week old. And your baby is beautiful!

Lookin fine, ladies! Here I am at 12 days pp, down 23 of the 26 I gained! (Still have more to go to my ultimate goal, but I'm thrilled with the quick loss of the baby weight this time!)

Emily is soooooo much cuter as an OUTSIDE baby, eh? ;-)

You guys look great! I can't wait to get this baby out so I can start on the weight loss journey.

You ladies look great!! When you compare each week it really does make a difference. I'm hoping the next few weeks keep me shrinking LOL!
