This is the first pregnancy I've lost so much so
quick! Gained 42 n I've lost 36!! :-) my first pregnancy, I gained 55 n it took a really long time to lose it! My other two I gained abt 30 n lost most within abt 3-4 months. Each has been very different!?

No kidding about sweating it off at night. We finally hit the high 80s instead of the 105 its been for the past 3 weeks! And with no ac my house was 88! Yuck.. but ive heard breastfeeding helps shed the weight faster but my sister said she lost it all after she quit breasfeeding.

It depends for everyone. Depends on how much you gained and whether you're breastfeeding or not. Apparently breastfeeding helps you burn the weight quicker. Which could be true but I found with my son that I kept on my last 10lbs until I was done breastfeeding him. I actually went down further then my weight before pregnancy. I got screwed over though because a month later I was pregnant again! lol
I have about 10lbs to go now. Just started doing walks and stuff since I just hit 6 weeks and I'm feeling more normal then I've felt in a long time.
It'll happen...give it time.
I find that I sweat it out mostly at night I swear! haha
