Question: how much weight should i lose 1 week postpartum?
Answer: After you deliver, you will slowly lose weight. You may want to speed things along by working with your doctor to set a safe, reasonable goal. A good rule of thumb is to lose no more than one and a half pounds per week, which would be a calorie deficit of 3,500 to 5,250 calories per week, or 500 to 750 a day.
