Losing Weight After Pregnancy

I just had a daughter 7 wks ago and am struggling to lose weight. I'm not breastfeeding because after two weeks of breastfeeding I dried up and was no longer able.

However Before that they were at 75,000). I have had no signs of bruising or any other unusal sympton and the rest of my blood work always turns out, "excellent".
