Belly pooch of doom!!

Hey everyone!

So about 3 months ago I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Turns out the only thing that wasn't healthy was me...I lost about 60 lbs right before finding out I was pregnant and I gained almost all of it back during that 9 months. :/

Now I am trying to take back control of my body and my life but I feel so defeated by my new belly pooch. I feel like no amount of exercise or dieting could possibly tone or decrease this jiggly mess.

So I need your help! I would love to see before and after pictures of moms or of anyone that has conquered or tamed their belly pooch,muffin top, jellyroll, whatever you want to call it lol.
Thanks!

    its early.

    you'll get your shape back.

    just need a little time and some workouts/good foods.

    you can lose your weight again, don't worry.

    you only had your baby 3 months ago... it can take a year for skin to retain its elasticity...

    I don't have much to add, other than I love your heading 'Belly pooch of doom!!". Just take it slow, be healthy and consistent with you food and exercise and love your little one. Like PP said- you did it before, you will do it again.

    Be patient, 3 months is not enough time. It took me more than a year to get back in shape.. Eat healthy, exercise and you'll get there. :)

    You'll need a lot longer than 3 months to see a difference. Most people say, it took 9 months to get there, give yourself at least 9 months to get back to normal. My "baby" is almost 2.5 and i still have a pooch, though I didn't start my weight loss journey until 7 months ago. Its small but it is still there, I wont be sporting crop tops or working out in public with just a sports bra any time soon!
