I have lost 39 pounds in 14 days. Of course, by "lost", I don't mean that I'm burning fat. I lost 12 lb 9 oz of baby, plus their amniotic sacs and placentas. I probably lost a lot more weight in fluid retention and having my blood volume decrease down to a more normal state.
I have to say that the idea of losing another 15 lbs is much less daunting than the idea of losing the entire 54 lb that I gained over the course of my pregnancy.
And, of course, these babies would be worth every pound even if I had stayed at 209 lbs forever. I love them to pieces. =)
I was anxious about how weight loss after twins would go, but it's crazy what our bodies can do! Breastfeeding is awesome for it as well. I'm with you, once I got rid of all of the extra fluid it was like I was a normal person again.
