I know it can take up to two weeks for the water weight to go away so I mean after all the water weight was gone.

Weight gain:
Weight loss:
Are you breastfeeding?:
How baby arrived(i.e. c-section):
How many weeks were you when you had your LO?:

I wonder if there is a correlation

I gained 60 pounds and lost 30. The only weight I have lost is what was the baby, placenta, water and whatever else. I have only lost 10 pounds since leaving the hospital. I am not breastfeeding. I had my baby vaginally, and was a week overdue.

I really don't know where all the weight came from, I was all belly. I'm not to worried about losing the rest of the weight as I am the inches around my waist. But I only have to drop 2 more pants sizes to be happy, once I can get back to my Wii fit and get nice enough to go outside I'm confident it will come off quickly.

My son came the day after his due date and was 8 lbs 12.7 oz and delivered vaginally. I gained 40 pounds during the pregnancy and had lost 19 at 2 weeks postpartum. Just started back on WW even though you're not supposed to diet till 2 months postpartum when EBF.
