Hey everyone. i gained 40-45 lbs with my recent pregnancy. now i am 3 weeks post cesarean and lost around 20 already-prob water weight. is there still more water weight to lost in next few weeks?

I just joined weight watchers AND i am nursing. think its possible to lose 20 lbs in next 2- 3 months???

Desperate to get back into regular clothes. maternity is too big and reg clothes too small! eek!

    Yeah, that was frustrating.  The worst isn't the weight, its the weird jelly belly.  I gained 35, lost 20 in the first 2 weeks, and another 5 in the last 2 months.  HOWEVER, I have been able to squeeze into my non-maternity fat pants since 4 weeks PP.

    It is possible.  I gained 35 pounds with DD2 and lost 30 of it by 12 weeks. Most of it was gone by 6 weeks. From two pregnancies I will tell you the last 5 pounds was the hardest.

    It's possible but really hard.  I averaged loosing 1 lb per week and that was working out 5 days a week and being really strict with food.  be patient , that's what i had to remind myself.  my belly is still not where i want it to be 16 months later

    Yes, it?s possible. Just make sure that you follow a weight loss plan that is healthy and nutritious. NO starving. A low-carb, high protein diet has been known to really help!
