How did weight loss go for you?

Hi!

My title says it all... How did losing weight go after giving birth?
I gave birth 8 weeks ago and I really want to lose those last few kg. I've now had the green light for a week and a half to start jogging and doing light core exercises.
I run every other day and do the exercises on the days in between.
I've started eating healthier because I want to get back in shape quickly, but when I weighed myself today, to my surprise, I had actually gained weight!
I'm naturally pretty disappointed. Do you have any tips on what helped?

Best,

    Don't just focus on your weight; also pay attention to your body size. By exercising, you'll build muscle, which can make you gain weight, but your clothing sizes will go back down. Take your time to get back in shape.

    I did indeed take a look at the size, and to my great relief, it was much smaller The belly circumference is already 5 cm less and the legs are 3.5 cm smaller. Thanks for your tip! More tips are welcome.
