I dropped about 35 lbs in the 2 weeks after I gave birth, and from not really doing anything.

I actually gained weight - pre-pregnancy weight - 111 - gained 24 lbs during the pregnancy - gave birth to a 7 lb - baby and left the hospital weighing - 138 lbs - 3 lbs more than before I had the baby - that was 4 months ago - so far I have only lost 8 lbs and I have been eating healthy - and going to the gym for 2 months - still can't fit into my regular sizes - don't know if age has something to do with it - had my first baby at 24 and was in better shape than I had ever been 2 months later and now my second child at 40 and I just can't seem to lose the weight.

I have had three children and it was the same with each one. I gained 20 lbs. with each child and lost it all within two weeks. My first child was big - 8lbs. 12 oz.., the other two were around 7 lbs.
Don't compare yourself to other women. Everyone is different and it can be depressing to see other women lose the weight faster. I was pregnant at the same time as my sister-in-law and although we gained the same amount of weight you could not see it on her. I, on the other hand was huge. All the weight was in my stomach and it went straight out. Since the rest of me is tiny it just made my stomach look even bigger. A guy at the pool told me I looked like I was ready to pop and I was only 6 months along. Even better - my brother-in-law told me I was as big as a whale...I almost killed him....LOL

Well I weighed 145 right before birth
125 right after birth (next day)
And that was 9 months ago I am now 112.
So I guess I lost 13 lbs.

I stopped looking at the scale after I gained 100 lbs. The day after having her, i had dropped almost 20 lbs. (She was 9 lbs 8ozs.) I lost another 40 within a few weeks and still have 40 to go!

With my last child (#4), I gained 19 pounds and lost all of that plus an additional 20 pounds. I nursed, which helped.
