Thinking about weight loss yet?

Anyone else thinking about losing this baby weight? I dropped half of it in the first week and a half, must have been the water and baby weight. Now I have about 15 pounds to go. I'm turning my gym membership back on in two weeks and will start slow with just walking and swimming.

No dieting for me at all since I was told I may not be getting enough calories into my breast milk.

I'm interested to hear what everyone else is doing and how it's working for you.

I think i've finally found something that I am lucky with!  I had Lucy on September 21st and by the second week after the birth, I had already lost 30lbs by doing nothing.  I wasn't able to breastfreed, it just didn't work for me well so I only pumped the first 4 weeks and never did get much milk to come in.  I am just about 6 weeks post delivery and I am a pound lighter now than when I found out I was pregnant.  The killer is that even though I've lost the weight, i have this gross sagging stretched out stretch marked skin that keeps me from wearing my same pants.  I still have to wear my largest pants and it's so discouraging!  I'm a first time mom so I'm hoping my body will go back to something similar at least to what it was.

I lost 25lbs in the first 10 days and now I'm down another lb.  I gained a total of 34, but the last 5lbs were pretty much water weight, so I only have 9 to go til pre-prego weight...of course I want to lose more than that but I'll worry about that later :-)

Down 21 pounds today woohoo! Even though the weight is falling off my body is all kinds of funny shapes. It's going to take me forever at the gym to put myself back together.

Hey, I haven't actually weighed myself lol but I did lose my stomache and I'm sure I'm pretty close to my pre-pregnancy weight even though to be honest I don't mind being a little on the curvy side ;) because my husband loves me that way lol!

I look at myself in the mirrio and I'm like eww I feel anorexic (sorry if I spelled it wrong) I think I'm too skinny lol and that's wierd cause usually women think they are too big not too little lol.

My goal is December too. I'm trying to cut out the sweets that I was eating while I was pregnant, but I still seem to cheat about once a day. I need to go shopping and pick up some healthy snacks. I can put my nb in the daycare at the gym since the baby room is just bouncy chairs. I want to find a sitter for my two year old because every time she goes in the day care there she gets sick. Too many kids and not enough hand washing.

Hi NicMom. I think about it everyday. lol
my baby is 2 weeks old and I have dropped 20 lbs just by cutting out all the junk food that i ate during my pregnancy. I am down to 170lbs but was 140lb right at the beginning of my pregnancy so I have a lot more to loose. I want to go to the gym soon but it's hard to have someone watch both of my children. I'm going to try and walk outside with them in a double stroller when the weather's nice. I need to drop this weight by Dec because it's my sisters's bridal shower and I do not want to stand next to my 3 sisters and by the fat one!
