On Losing Weight
I’ve just given birth to a baby girl last week! Childbirth has to be the fastest weight loss process. Imagine, losing 15 pounds after a few hours! And getting an adorable child in the process.
But I still have a long way to go, although not really by much. I’m 9 pounds over my prepregnancy weight, which is not bad, considering I’m only 1 week postpartum and I haven’t done any diet or exercise yet. I’m also breastfeeding, which means that I’ll be losing some more weight through that. I also breastfed my firstborn, and was back to my prepregnacy weight when he was 3 months old, so I can attest to that. After all, the body stores extra fat supplies during pregnancy for milk production so it stands to reason that breastfeeding will use up these stores and make you lose weight faster.
I never did get to my prepregnancy figure however. My tummy remained a bit protruberant, like I was a few months pregnant, even 3 years after giving birth. This time, I’m hoping to achieve a body that’s more sexy. I’m aware though, that I need to put in extra effort for this, meaning I have to exercise to achieve the look that I want.
Happy to hear you and your new baby are both healthy. Congrats on the baby girl!
