Rapid weight loss during postpartum?

Question

Hi ladies! I’ve lost weight super fast and have actually weight a little bit less than what I did before pregnancy? I do breastfeed and I think I eat 2,000 calories a day or the 500 on top they suggest for breastfeeding. 
I’m kind of freaking out about this because I shouldn’t have lost this much I’m 5 weeks postpartum. 
Please let me know your experience.

Answer

Same here. Believe it or not I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy. 😣 I’m currently 7 weeks postpartum & I’m already down 45 lbs. I have not started exercising, the weight literally just fell off. This is a picture of me before pregnancy, & me at 35 weeks.

Answer

I’m in the same position. I’m actually about 18lb less than my pre-pregnancy weight. Stuff is sitting differently than before I was pregnant but the scale says less lbs.

Answer

I think it’s normal I weighed 155 before pregnancy and then I got to 182 and now I weigh 140 6 weeks postpartum

Answer

I think it’s normal. I was down 30 lbs only two weeks after giving birth. That is 30 lbs below my prepregnancy weight as well, it was shocking but I feel great

Answer

Normal. I've lost 35 lbs a few pounds down from pre pregnancy and will be 5 weeks Monday.

Answer

Normal I’ve lost 30 in 7 weeks

Answer

I lost 25 pounds in 4 weeks. Was kinda worried about it but its slowed down now that I'm 6 weeks pp

Answer

Yeah I’m 4 weeks pp and only have a lot weight left to go to my prepregnancy weight. I have barely been moving as I broke my tailbone in labour so it’s all down to breastfeeding. I’m not worried about it at all. Just happy!

Answer

I’m in the same boat. I have lost everything plus some and continue to do so.
