Yeah, it could totally happen. The weight will start to just melt off like that... Was your scale for sure on a flat surface?

I got into my size 5 jeans yesterday... YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I was 211 (gained 10 lbs during pg) and now I am 190. I would like to get to 150, so I have 40 lbs to lose. I had gained weight while TTC so I have a lot to lose.

Good luck to everyone!

I don't know all the numbers, but I fit into my jeans again. I am tandem nursing and I probably gained 30 lbs during the pregnancy.

My tummy is far from flat, but I do have biggish boobs.

Pre-preg weight: 135-140
Final preg weight: 178
24 hours postprtum (on hospital scale this morning so it's a "new" scale): 162

I seem to drift back to within 10lbs of my pre-preg weight without effort over the first 9 months or so and then stay there. Around a year I focus diet/exercise on dropping those last lbs and so far I've been roughly ten lbs below my pre-preg weight by the babe's first bitrthday.

But as for fitting into prepreg clothes? It never happens! Even when the scale says I'm back to "normal"... I'm not!

I can actually participate now My midwife laughed at me when I stood on the scale before I got into bed. I think I started at 150, ended at 172 and now weigh 158, just one day later. too bad I can't really fit into anything and my stomach hurts every time I cough.

Pre-pg I weighed 114. At the end, I weighed 151. This morning at 8 days PP, I weighed 130. I tend to lose the pg weight pretty fast. I guess it's just my fast metabolism and lots of BF!
