Postpartum Week: 2
Total Weight Loss: 24 pounds
Diet/Exercise: Still trying to get back on my feet.
6 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight!
The weight is falling off simply from breastfeeding. I'm eating normal foods (and not skipping desert) then stepping on the scale watching 1-2 pounds disappear each day. The only downside? I have no energy. I'm popping vitamins and still feel like the life has been sucked out of me.
I wish I could have coffee, but when I drank half a cup Elodie screamed and fussed the rest of the day. She even fusses with too much iced tea. It doesn't make sense--I lived on gallons of iced tea while I was pregnant!
Fast weight loss...sleep deprivation...still healing...and no caffeine? Ugh. Craziness.
I packed away the maternity clothes! Most normal clothes fit, but my old jeans don't even come close to closing. Bring on the Bella Band! By 6 weeks the big U should be back to it's normal size and my pants will actually...you know...button.

You look AHHHMAZING, Jaci! Also, you know what I just figured out? You're the first pregnancy I've followed from beginning to end in the Blogosphere. Weird.
Okay...you go girl!! I am almost 9 weeks postpartum and I am not anywhere NEAR a 24 pound weight loss...more like 10...!! UGH...Biggest problem: Have been ordered to lay low until June. Apperantly my body rejects c-sections, and I have had complications because of it....ANYWAYS...you are doing awesome!! Keep it up woman!!
Holy crap woman you look great! Well, it looks like I'll be breastfeeding when I have a kid...decision just made, lol.
Breast feeding melted my baby weight too...it's amazing isn't it??
Ugh, no caffeine? I don't know how you're doing it! Way to go on the weight loss!
You look great girl! I am impressed.
You look MAHvelous!
You look awesome!!! I too loved breastfeeding because of the way it melted away the pounds without even trying!!
The big U??? I'm totally lost on that one.
Wanted to say, though, that you are looking great! And you don't look tired in your photo!
Fabulous to have the weight drop off. I had to increase my iron because I was so tired and the nursing made it drop. Just a thought for you 6-week check up.

You look mahvelous! And it is better to LOOK mahvelous than to FEEL mahvelous!
I hope you get your energy back soon, but don't push yourself. You are using a lot of energy.
