I am currently 6 months PP (post partum) from my first baby. I do tons of cardio and am currently doing the P90X. I have established good eating habits with my cheats here and there but ultimately am eating really well. I gained 50 pounds:mad: pregnant and have lost 36 of them and as my body shape is getting back to normal I am wondering if my little pooch will?

I started P90X in hopes that it will take care of the rest. Are there any good tips to help gain back my pre preg body! Actually forget the pre preg. I want to be BETTER then pre-preg.

    I have been doing a lot of core body strength training. The muscel tone has helped a lot with that.

    I also do a lot of core and strength training.

    Now I am pretty much the same weight I was when I started having children....not quite to my wedding day weight....

    But I am in better shape than I have ever been.

    I am 7 mo PP and it just takes time. Sometimes we are very hard on ourselves and forget that not long ago we still carried a little being inside us.

    I hate my stomach....But even when I was super skinny I hated it.

    I agree with Jess -- P90X will work! Nutrition is a key factor though. There's a saying that abs are made in the kitchen, and it's so true. Follow the nutrition guide, push play, and you will see results. I had my first child when I was 32 & the second at 34; I'm 37 now and in better shape than when I was in my 20s!

    Ive had 4 babies and gained an extreme amount of weight each time. I can truly say that I am in better shape now than I ever was before kids! P 90 X is def a great program. You will lose the pooch! Having a healthy diet definately plays a major factor in the type of results you will get.
