Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I have gained 45 and so far lost 37 so have 8 to go for pre preggo, My stomach was huge so i feel i have all this extra skin, def not bikini ready yet.
I am not doing much for dieting or exercising. I really need to start working out more, since having DS 9 weeks ago i had only 3 official work out sessions :*

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
First, let me say  . And give yourself some time--one month is a very short time. It does seem like a lot of women lose the weight quickly, but even more do not--you just don't hear about it.
I am 10 months pp and I still have 5 pounds ot go. It has been a very slow process to lose it all, and I think some has to do with my age. I also developed lupus after DS was born, which means I have arthritic like pain at times and fatigue, both make me less likely to exercise. I try to take long walks with DS though and plan to keep it up through the winter as long as there is no snow or bitter cold. And I tried making sensible cutbacks in the things I eat. I noticed I developed some bad eating habits while pregnant (lots of juice, lots of dairy) which were okay then, but are a bit much now. And I also noticed I kept eating the way I did when I was pregnant right after, so I had to modify portion sizes. Can't say I've followed a diet plan per se, just watch what I eat and how it's prepared.
"Girlfriend's Guide" noted most women take 9 months to gain the weight and 9 to take it off, so you still have a lot of time. For me, eventhough it's going past 9 months, I know I am developing habits I can maintain long term, so I feel the weight will stay off. I also remind myself this is the best reason I have ever gained weight in my life, and I have the rest of my life to get back to my old size.
Good luck to you! YOu'll get there!

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I feel your pain ..I swear I thought that I would have been in my size 4 by now(6.5 months later) I EBF and everyone said oh it will come off really quick uh hello I do not see that here in my situation I have ALOT of weight to loose 40lbs I joined WW but I'm convinced the only way it will come off for me is to get my big fat A S S to the gym! I hope I get back to being a gym rat I miss it but I just cant get myself together!

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I didn't gain that much during pregnancy, only 29 pounds. Now 2 1/2 weeks later I have lost 20 lbs so only 9 left, but my body is no where near what it was before! I won't be fitting into my jeans for awhile which I'm not too happy about. I am not stressing about it until after my 6 weeks checkup since I was a c/s and am not able to work out just yet. I have been taking long walks which I think helps a lot at least to get my body used to moving again!! I plan on starting running again once I hit the 6 week mark and I can't wait!

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
with DS i gained 38. I lost 15 right away, then had to diet/exercise to get the rest off. i started walking right away, probably 3 days home from the hospital. Every day i went a little further. By 5 weeks i was jogging- then i joined WW. It still took a while, he was probably 7-8 months when i got back to PP weight.
i think everything is a factor, age, genetics, food intake, exercise, lifestyle. Its not easy

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I'm 3.5 months pp and I've lost the weight I gained. BUT - my body is not the same.
I had weight I wanted to lose from before I got preg - so I'm working on that now.
Every body is different. Don't worry so much about the number, but rather how you feel and look. Your body has been through a huge change.

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I gained 40 lbs with Benjamin. I lost 20 within the first few weeks. I didn't lose the other 20 (and then some) until I started getting back into running and watching what I eat which wasn't until he was almost 1  . After that, it came off with A LOT of hard work and within 2 months of when I started (started in June so by August) working out, the 20 lbs were gone. By September, when I found out I was pregnant again, I was down another 8.
You have to give yourself time.

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I'm almost 9 months pp and I'm probably 8 lbs more than I was pp. But I don't diet and I rarely get a chance to exercise. I just try to stay active (lots of walking) and I pay attention to portion size and don't eat a lot of junk food.
I'm one size up from where I was before and honestly, I'm fine with my size except that I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit.
It would be nice if my stomach was tighter but that can't happen without crunches and my sanity does not allow time for exercise with everything else I have to do in life.

It took over a year for me. With working out and eating well. And Cailen is 18 mts old and people are just telling me now that I lost so much weight. Now I know to anticipate losing my body and my clothes for over two years with the next baby.... I only gained 40 lbs but the last 20 stick!!!
I was 33 when I had DD and I gained 35 pounds. I was fitting into my PP clothes at around 4 months (when I went back to work) but I wasnt back down to my PP weight until DD was around 1 year.
It's funny - my legs are leaner than before I got pregnant - but my stomach is looser and puffier. Dont let it get you down - it takes time!

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
I gained 48lbs pregnant and was hoping for the huge weight loss after having DS. After he ewas born I was only down 12lbs. In the first 3 months I lost another 15-20 and the rest slowly came off with work. I would say I was back tp prepregnancy weight by 8 months or so.

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
aww, 1 month PP is nothing, that's great weight loss!!
It took me FOREVER to lose the last 15 lbs. (i gained 40-50lbs with my pgs)
At 1 year PP, i can honestly say I am back to pre preggo and pre wedding weight and can fit into 100% of my clothes. it also took me longer for my stomach to flatten after my c section than it did for my 1st pg that was a v birth.
I just cut back what i ate, smaller portions, never neglected my cravings, everything in moderation, drank lots of water and got out for walks everyday.
hang in there

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
with DD I gained 50 lbs and lost 25, but still had 25 to go when I become pregnant with DS.
DS is now 4 months and I'm still up 30 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight before DD. 
I'm 36 and it just doesn't melt off anymore and with 2 under 2 and working PT there is NO time to exercise other than chasing DD at the park!

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
3 weeks - plus another 5 pounds. I will be honest though - I had an advantage having had weightloss surgery. That and a great deal of stress. My body did take a different form b/c of the nursing though.

Re: How long did it take you to lose the baby weight??
Weight within 3 months. 3 months to be -10Lbs to pre-pregnancy weight.
Shape? That's a whole different story. I am still 1 size bigger even if I am 10 Lbs lighter than before I was PG. My hips and belly have changed.
