How long did it take you to loose the baby fat? Also, what did you find that worked?

Re: post body

I found eating loads of Kit Kats and drinking diet coke helped. Oh and breast feeding. that helps too.

Re: post body

I am 5 months PP and have lost it all finally. I joined weight watchers and lost a good amount of it. It taught me how to portion my meals and I did really well on it. I went to the meetings because me doing it on my own never works. It will come off, takes time sometimes. We've all been there!

Re: post body

3-4 months I lost the majority of the weight, once I stopped breastfeeding.

6 months or so I got back into my prepregnancy shorts and jeans, for some reason the tops didn't fit anymore though which was wierd because my boobs sure didn't grow.

9 months I felt 100% again and comfortable in my body again


I walked 1-2 miles daily with Jack in the Graco Monster stroller, hauled him around without assistance from my Dh for about 6 months, two military deployments (hence why Dh wasen't around) and oh yeah Hurricane Dennis which spawn a tornado through my backyard all assisted in my weight loss.

Step Aerobics at a gym with free daycare toned me back up and allowed me to get a peaceful shower every other day and napping when Jack napped helped alot.

With my 1st I noticed the difference in exactly 9 months.

Re: post body

6 wpp I lost all the baby weight but then i just needed to tone up. I recently started jazzercise again and I really love it. What i did notice is that some of my summer shorts/skirts from 2 summers ago do not fit anymore. Not weight wise, more like my body just def changed hip wise. It seems to have shifted a bit due to the bones in the pelvis widening to enable birth. So even though I lost all the weight, my body will never be the same as it was 2 yrs ago. I was a size 5/6 then and now I am a 7/8. I've accepted the fact that I wont fit into the size 5 clothes and have since given them away to my single friend.

Re: post body

I was back to my pre pregnancy size and weight within weeks... I exclusively nurse so that may have something to do with it... My mom and sister dropped all their pregnancy weight fast too so maybe it's just genetics....

Re: post body

I hate my post body...even 2 years later. I can't seem to get some of this weight off and it is a major source of depression and saddness for me. Some women bounce back in weeks..I didn't. I have always had problems trying to lose weight but this has taken on a life of its own. It is just somethng that makes me cry to be honest.

Re: post body

Without a doubt, breastfeeding works best. If you ate what you would normally eat & breastfed, you would lose tons of weight. If you eat more than would you would normally eat, you'd still lose weight.

I made the mistake of still eating the same when I stopped breastfeeding & gained weight rapidly.

Re: post body

Breastfeeding. And making sure that I cut serious calories out of my diet when I weaned my daughter... that, combined with do-it-yourself house renovations that exhaust my body until 12am, that's how I lost the weight

Re: post body

My problem is that all my numbers are correct for being my pre-prego weight, but I look horrible and feel horrible I was never super thin, but I liked my body. Now I'm just bulgey in my mid-section and look totally fat

Re: post body

I am only 4lbs away from my prepreg weight but it is the way I feel and look that matters to me more. I never had a tummy and now I do and I feel like no matter how many crunches I do it wont make a differnce. My Dh did tell me the other day that I looked alot thinner and was losing some of my butt and he was not happy but of course that made my day.
