postpartum weight loss

It's been three weeks and one day since I had my daughter. The morning I went in for induction, I was 180.1, and as of yesterday I am 153. That's not counting the (at least!!) 20 lbs of water weight, which, I realize I didn't have to work to get off, but still makes me feel good. . . I've lost around 50 lbs.

That being said, I'm not really doing anything to loose the weight. I'm just breastfeeding. The first week and a half or two I didn't have an appetite at all, but now it's back. Mostly, I'm drinking a shit-ton of water. I get SO thirsty- which is weird because I never drank water before.

I go back to the doctor the 30th which is when I get the ok for sex and exercise (so ready!) but I feel like I've been working out as it is. Willow weighs around 7 lbs 10-12 oz. right now, so she's tiny, but I'm constantly lifting her, holding her, running up and down the stairs to switch laundry that she's spit up on or whatever, so I'm getting a work out.

I know it's been forever, but lately I haven't been feeling the crazy need to loose weight. . . It's just been gradual.
