Can you really get back to the size you were before you had kids or is it just not possible? What do you think? What's your experience?

I think it's possible, but your shape may be different.0

I'm 14lbs and a dress size smaller than before i had my kids. I'm 10 months post partum with my last0

I got back to the weight I was before I had kids, I put it back on when I hit my 40's. You can do it0

I'm smaller now than I was before kids. I'm a size 4 and I was a 14 before I got pregnant with my first. I'm actually smaller than I was in High school...smallest I've ever been. So yes, you can get back to pre pregnancy size....but your body will never look the same.
My skin is stretched and jiggly, but I'm so much healthier! That's what really matters!0 -
Definitely possible. I did it. If I can do it, anyone can.

Yes. My wife lost all her baby weight in 3-4 months without working out, but was breastfeeding.0 -
My older sister is a UK size 6 after having two kids (smaller than she was pre-kids) and she is my insperation!0

I, too, have lost all the weight and more. I am the slimmest I've ever been in my life! And the fittest! If I can do it, so can you!!! I am more determined and disciplined than ever, so I've seen the greatest results.

you can easily lose the the weight but your body is likely to be a different shape to what it was before
6 years ago I weighed less than I did when I left school0 -
I also weight less than before i had my 2 children however my belly is horrid ! x0

That's how I know I will be.... but I hope with all the exercise it will tone up a bit.
I am actually 25 lbs. lighter/thinner now than I was when I was pregnant 18 years ago. but i'm still not where I was when I got married. which is my ultimate goal.0 -
I was back into my pre-pregnancy jeans five weeks after having my first. I was very fit when I gave birth, I started walking two weeks after giving birth and I was nursing. Stressful events and my 40s happened and I gained :grumble:0
-
I don't think...no, I KNOW that I will never get back to my pre-pregnancy weight because that was 102 lbs, which wasn't really a healthy weight for my height. I also noticed that even after losing weight, I have difficulty losing fat in my stomach and hips which wasn't a problem before my 4 children came along.0

Definately.
I'm sure this was primarlity aimed at women, but men can gain too. With our first, I gained 15 due to our eating habits changing. With the second, I watched myself.
In both cases she got back to near her original weight within a year (but we were very active)0 -
I was a UK size 10-12 before I fell pregnant. I am now a size 8-10....my 17month old helps keep me on my toes! My shape is definitely different and my abs were split through pregnancy so I have a bit of loose skin on my tummy, don't think that will ever go, but it really can be done! Keep up all the hard work!0

Nothing is impossible! With hard work and dedication, you can get there.. I am FAR past my pre-pregnancy weight and am wearing smaller jean sizes.. Of course my youngest is almost 2 years old now. I have two little girls turning 4 and 2 soon. I am getting my body back and I am so excited about it!!!
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!0 -
