i am getting married in 3 1/12 months. i had a c-section 11 days ago. my belly has gone down, not completely, but its going, but i still havent lost any weight. I am breastfeeding, and i had a very large amount of water logg when i was pregnant, i had pouches of water under my belly all over my face and in my feet and hands. I havent touched anything unhealthy since i have had my baby, havent even looked at a chocolate bar! i was wondering, when will this weight start to move. im doing everything i can to be as healthy as possible!

I lost all my weight pretty quickly (by 3 months) BUT I still did not fit into any of my old clothes. Well, I got my jeans on this weekend, she is 7 months old. So I think even when you lose the weight, sometimes it takes longer for your shape to bounce back. Give it time, eat healthy. Maybe ask your doctor about the water retention, make sure you are not having too much salt in your diet. You are only 11 days out, so give it time, the weight will come off.

I only put on 27 pounds with my c-section this last time and lost it within 3 weeks. Now I am on the plus size, so I think that made the difference for me.

My first baby weighed 10 lbs and I left the hospital 30 pounds lighter. My second baby was 9 lbs and I left the hospital 8 pounds lighter. I thought, "WHAT THE $%^*???" I was so mad. I guess it just goes to show you that you can't predict what your body will do with each pregnancy. Once you feel better and get the OK from your doc, you can start doing some cardio. That is the only thing that has helped me lose any weight this time around. Good luck!
