Am I the only 1 who literally has no weight loss??

baby girl was born almost 9 lbs 3/1 via csection.  So I had a lot of swelling, which has resolved  100%, and I am down TEN pounds.  In almost 7 weeks???  I am not breastfeeding, am vegetarian, and do not each junk food or drink soda almost ever.  I put on 40 lbs btw and was 137 when I got pg.   Any thoughts?  OB says give it time...I think after all this time I should be down somethng?!  frustrated...

    I'm not sure what's typical.  I gained around 27 pounds and am down 15 at 7 weeks pp (DS was 4.9 lbs at birth).  I am breastfeeding, but not eating nearly as well as I'd like, since I tend to wolf down whatever's easiest when DS is sleeping.

  • I gained 40 lbs. and have lost 27 at 5 weeks pp.  I bf.  I was 20 overweight to begin with though, so maybe your body just likes to hold onto a reserve or something after you give birth?

  • I gained 32 pounds and I am down 29 pounds, I lost most of it in the first week. I think breastfeeding really helped. I am also doing weight watchers, I was a little over weight when I got pregnant so I have about another 20 to go.

  • I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 weeks now. I gained about 40 during pregnancy, and still have about 15 to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, and I was about 10 pounds heavier than I like to be when I got pregnant. My body does not lose weigh
  • It all depends on how many calories you are eating vs. burning. If you burn more than you eat, you will lose weight.
