How I Lost the Baby Weight

Kelly Fleming
Losing the baby weight with my second son was a bit weird for me. When I became pregnant with him I lost an enormous amount of weight due to morning sickness. I was still 15 pounds underweight when I was 5 months pregnant.

Luckily for me the morning sickness went away at 6 months and I was finally able to start gaining. My Doctors were pleased how I was catching up to where I was supposed to be. I decided on a whim to weigh myself on my way to the hospital I do not even remember if they weighed me. When I returned home 2 days later I noticed I was up 2 pounds I figured it would all come off in time.

About four days after I returned home I realized I had an urge to go to the bathroom all of the time. It would be in the afternoon and I did not have anything to drink for a few hours. When I would go to the bathroom to 'relieve myself' it would feel like in the morning where you go a lot.

I noticed by weighing myself over the course of 2 days I lost 20 pounds by just going to the bathroom. I had a bad case of edema (retaining water) through my pregnancy. I do have to save if you want to lose weight that is the easiest way to do it.
