The latest...

So.

I'm wearing my regular jeans...which figures, since I weigh 42 lbs less than I did three-and-a-half weeks ago...and I only gained 37 lbs being pregnant.

Twins suck it out of you man.

I can only imagine. I'd dropped 18 pounds by six weeks post-partum, and that was with only one. Go go super nurser!

[prellyree]

Heh, I got on the scale the day after I had them and was 25 pounds lighter. Double water loss, double placentas, you know. And yeah, the fact that I'm never without at least one breast occupied...well...

I dropped about 30 pounds in six days - Bastian nursed constantly - but I'm only just now back in my pre-pregnancy jeans. Go you!

[prellyree]

Doesn't hurt that I had a lot of hormonal weight before I got pregnant, what with the IVF meds and all. So that all needs to come off too.

Same thing happened with Aidan for me. If we weren't already nuts about our babies, this would certainly help!

[prellyree]

Seriously. :)

Isn't nursing fabulous??!!
You only gained 37lbs with twins?
Is that low? I know people who gain 80 with one! lol

[prellyree]

It is definitely fabulous...of course, some days I feel like the human chew toy, but that's how it goes, I suppose. :)

I think 37 lbs is on the low side, yes, but my "pre-pregnancy weight" is questionable since I had gained a lot of weight with the fertility meds...so really, I'm not sure how accurate that is, but my midwife went with it anyway.

well hey, it worked! :)
(so who cares what you're 'supposed' to do ;)

Way to go! That just makes me excited for you!

[prellyree]

Me too...of course, then there's the issue of toning what's left...but, I always liked sit ups.

Hey, all the more reason to take a hip hop class with me and Lyndi next time. That'll make the workout all the more fun! :D Or the adult ballet class. Either one would do it.
