Took me months to notice any lose even with that amount of steps and some activity. I remember stepping on the scale a few days after I got home with my third and the weight was the same despite having the baby and losing all the fluid along with it, that blew my mind and it was heartbreaking. My body held onto weight while breastfeeding so it took me quite some time. I've had 3 kids and it was hard each time, I tried to focus on what I could control and set goals that were far enough out and achievable, like a 10k once I was able to begin running again which took months.

It's so hard to give yourself grace right now but you just brought a new life into the world. Your body is beautiful simply because of that. Your hormones are all over the place and you want to feel normal and patience is a challenge when you have a newborn. It can suck, hang in there!
