Thanks That's a great way to think of it - I've lost a little bit more since then too - am just off to update my ticker Feel really positive about this now - seems to be going really well - am slowly but surely loosing my baby weight

I have 53 kg (= 8.3 stones) now! still over 50, so it's alright as I said to myself, I will only start to worry once I am getting under 50! but I only have 3kg left then

Should we maybe make a weight gain support thread...?

How tall are you Mickey? Have you been to see your doctor about this? 53kg is quite small (especially for someone who just gave birth 5 months ago). It may be it's nothing to worry about, but if you're still loosing it and you're noticably smaller than before pregnancy then it may be worth popping to see your GP.

Are you breastfeeding? This can suck the fat right off of you... When my mum had her first, she ate everything in sight but the weight just kept falling off her. Her doctor said it was nothing to worry about - just bubba literally sucking all the fat away! (bonus!)

You may wish to mention it to your doctor anyway, just to be safe - if nothing else it will give you some peace of mind to know what's going on!

Good luck maintaining your weight, hun

Well done! That's really great going

[AquaDementia]

it's quite refreshing to see the numbers on the scale going in the opposite direction!! hahaha

I bet! I lost another couple of pounds on the scale today - so nice to think that it really is working and I will go back to normal!! (Slowly but surely )

I am a dwarf, I am about 1,55 m, which is about 5 feet!

my average weight before pregnancy was around 50 kgs. I am breastfeeding and I came from 70kg !!! (just before birth, had a lot of water and looked like a balloon!!!) to 53kg in a little less than 6 month!

yes, def once I am under 50 kg, will go and see the doc!

atm I am trying to eat as much as possible!

I know you've lost a lot of weight but breastfeeding really can suck it out of you! It doesn't sound like it's anything to worry about but if you're unsure then a trip to the docs is probably a good idea.

Don't overdo it on the eating thing (you don't want to find yourself suddenly ballooning back up to 70kg!! lol) - just eat healthy amounts - little and often is probably best for you...

Best of luck,
