I gained about 40 lbs during pregnancy and I'm about 10 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight now. Not too shabby, but very much looking forward to fitting into my skinny jeans again and packing away the maternity gear for good!!
I've got about 5 lbs left to go at about the 2 week mark. The best news is, I zipped up my favorite pp jeans yesterday! Whoo hoo!! This did NOT happen with my other two. I think I have GD to thank as I didn't not gain a pound after I was diagnosed on Nov 5. No late night ice cream weight to lose. It was all baby.

Weighed myself today and I've lost 30 lbs. and I'm 1 week, 4 days post partum. Yay!nbsp;nbsp;How about everyone else?
Woohoo! Congrats! I am 6 days post partum and have lost 20 so far. I gained waaaay too much though, so I still have 30 lbs to go. I am having a much easier time eating better now that I'm not preggo though.
I actually don't know what I've lost since I don't own a scale... But I gained 30 lbs, and 7 days post partum I can fit into at least one pair of prepregnancy jeans! I'd guessnice lost at least twenty, but the moment of truth will be at my 2 week post partum appointment!
I'm 2 weeks, 3 days PP and I've lost all but 2 pounds. I gained a total of 26. I can fit into one pair of my pre pregnancy jeans fairly comfortably, but I need to tone my stomach a little more to feel back to normal again. That little extra flab won't go away on its own I suppose!

I only gained 22 pounds during pregnancy but by 1 week PP I had already lost 20 pounds. I'm now 17 days PP and have lost 27 pounds! I'm happy that I actually weigh less now than what I weighed before I was pregnant with her.
Congratulations everyone!!! I have yet to have my LO but what are you guys doing?? I have gained about 30lbs and I would really like to lose it fast in a way and so just if you guys have any advice !? But glad to hear all if this !!
Tuesday DD will be two weeks old and I'm currently at 30 pounds weight loss!!! I am also below my starting weight by I think ten pounds (can't 100% remember what I started at.) My pre pregnancy jeans fit.... Now I just need to get my pre pregnancy jeans from DS to fit.....

Honestly all I'm doing is breast feeding. That and I have zero time to stuff my face like I was while pregnant. Little man keeps me really busy

I'm 5 days PP and I weighed myself for the first time today and I'm down 9lbs of the 23 I gained. I still have a lot of swelling in my feet so hopefully once that resolves I will lose some more.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
We haven't replaced the batteries in our scale so I don't know what my weight is. But tomorrow I see the dr to check my c section so I will see how much I might be down.

My rainbow is finally here February 7, 2013
I gained 52lbs with the twins and I have lost all but 6lbs. I am 19 days past c-section.
The last few lbs may be an issue as it is the dreaded twin skin and I am not sure how exactly to tone/lose. I will start working out as soon as I am cleared by my doctor.
I was excited today as I was able to put on my first pair of pre pregnancy pants but I am still just a tad too big for my jeans.

I gained about 25 lbs and have about 5 left to go 12 days PP. Here's how I lost those first 20 lbs:
1. Remove baby, placenta, amniotic fluid from body.
2. Have awful night sweats to get rid of retained fluid.
3. BF/pump to burn some extra calories (but make up for a lot of it by finally getting to eat some treats I couldn't / didn't want to during pregnancy).
And that's it. Depending on how much you gained, it's entirely possible you won't have to do anything to get back to your PP weight. I didn't with DD. However, with her it took a long time for me to fit in my pre-pregnancy pants, and in some cases I haven't been able to wear them at all, because my body shape changed. i.e. my hips spread and my tummy has a little c/s pooch.
BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
I was 3lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight at a week PP when I was re-hospitalized, and at my WIC appt friday I had lost another 5lbs. Granted with all the hospital crap, I've been on NPO and clear liquids, and since being home I'm finding that I can't really eat much of substance without feeling unpleasantly full, although I think the massive amounts of water I've been drinking play into it, too. I can usually manage a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, but whatever else I eat for the day is usually a handful of whatever I can nibble on while Colton is nursing (Michael made fun of me yesterday because over the course of the afternoon, I had apple slices, baby carrots, and a couple dinosaur chicken nuggets, which is the exact lunch I had also made for my 4 year old nephew who's staying with us, lol).
