    I am currently pregnant for the 3rd time, but before I got pregnant I lost all my baby weight and more, totaling over 65 lbs in like 8 months I think. I didn't start till my second child was around 2 though, I was just tired of feeling uncomfortable in my clothes and had a reality check when I bought some size 14 shorts and couldn't pull them past my thighs, I had a complete break down. When I first started I wasn't as committed as I should have been, but the last 5 months of it the weight was dropping like crazy. I contribute most of it to the fact that I no longer had to work a normal job and was able to be a stay at home mom which allowed me to spend more time exercising and preparing my own food rather than eating out for breakfast and lunch at work then sitting at a desk all day. I was able to be more active with my kids and just stay constantly moving. I spent a lot of time researching about weight loss and tips and tricks, the mental side, and I loved looking at others before and afters, kept me motivated big time. It wasn't easy but it is very possible. But seriously after a while, working out became fun for me and wasn't a task. I spent any idle moment working out rather than sitting on couch watching TV and it really paid off. I truly think Insanity workout is a miracle worker if you stick to it. I also supplemented with fitnessblender, superherofitness, and pop pilates. Oh and I can't forget mfp, without keeping track of my calorie intake and burn I wouldn't have been as successful. Good luck you can do it.
