Anyone else gaining weight??

At almost 6 weeks pp I am gaining weight. I was down 19 pounds after giving birth and now I have put on 7 pounds. I have been very healthy and using MyFitnessPal to count calories. I keep it between 1500-1700 per day. I am 5'8 and currently 163. Just weird to me and very discouraging. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Does the body hold onto fat for a period after delivery?

 

Thanks

    Yes, it happened to me and my sister after our pregnancies. It was due to a hormone imbalance. Maybe you could get your bloodwork done if its possible?

    I held onto weight for 2-3 months after i had the baby.  I didn't gain though.  If it bothers you, maybe you should get your blood checked.  If your working out and eating right I don't know why else you would be gaining.

    I'm on myfitnesspal too, and having trouble maintaining a healthy weight during this pregnancy (20 pounds in 20 weeks).  I just found a special forum for pregnancy on MFP so I'm hoping to get some encouragement from that. If you plan on BFing I know that can help with  postpartum weight loss.
