    You just have to remember that you didn't put it on over night, so it won't come off that fast either.
    With my son, I gained 60lbs. He's 18 months now and I've lost all but about 7lbs, but don't look anywhere near as fit as I used to.
    I BF'd for the first year and just ran my first 1/2 marathon last month - the training helped lose a little bit of the weight, but it's definitely been a SLOOOW and steady process (but more slow than steady :))

    You are def NOT alone!! I have 2 cuties 14 months apart. I dropped all my weight & more after my son was born :) It is now almost 7 years after my daughter and I am still 55 pounds away from my goal weight! My weight has been up & down since she was born. I am now counting carbs, using Advocare products, & adding a much needed cardio & ab workout to my daily routine! I am down 7 pounds and have been at this seriously for 1 month! I feel so much better already and can't wait till I get were I want to be! :) Good Luck and don't give up!

Time to stop making excuses for myself. Feel free to add me :)

    Yes I am there with you! I just delivered 4 weeks ago and have about 30 pounds to lose. I lost it with my first but it took one year and half. I am hoping for it not to take that long this time!

    I have a 5 month old and am about 20 lbs over prepregnancy weight. I was over weight before I got pregnant, so I am really needing this app now! It would be good to have some other moms on here to help keep us all accountable!

    I have two girls, 3 yrs old and 8 months old. I was a bit overweight before I got pregnant with each baby. I am about 5'3 and I weighed 148lbs when I got pregnant with my first daughter, and I weighed 143lbs when I got pregnant with my second. When my second daughter was about 7 weeks old I weighed 155lbs. I had lost some pregnancy weight but not all of it. I joined a local stroller bootcamp class that I went to 3 times a week. I also cleaned up my diet and started eating to fuel my body. I now weigh 129lbs and I feel fabulous. I must say however, that im glad I did it earlier rather than later since I am breastfeeding, it seemed easier to lose the weight because I was burning extra calories by feeding my baby. You can do it! Just give 110% with every workout and try to eat the right foods to give your body the energy that it needs. And dont forget to drink lots of water!

    I forgot to mention that I only gained about 30lbs with each pregnancy and I worked the whole 9 months I was pregnant. I was on my feet all day and I felt great, even in the heat.

    Mommy of two ! I put on about 70 pounds with my first then lost it all, then my second I continued to workout during my pregnancy & put on about 35 pounds and lost about 25 after my pregnancy. My youngest is 8 months and it seems like my weight wont go down! But im determined to get down to my goal and keep my butt & legs but lose this tummy & tone everything!

    Baby weight is the hardest weight to lose! I have a 16 month old son and I still have left over baby weight. I originally gained 56 lbs during pregnancy and have lost 43 lbs of it.... but I really want to be smaller than my pre-baby weight. My genetics are fighting against me, but I'm fighting to be the "hot mom."

    was weighing 235 before having my son, then lost 10 pounds and gained them all plus 40 pounds in my pregnancy. Once I had him, I went down to 245 and lost weight. I'm 225 right now and still struggling with losing but I got rid of the baby weight pretty fast doing zumba!

    I have a 6 month old. Gained about 40 lbs during the pregnancy. I'm still breastfeeding so it has been a struggle. I've been at it for 3.5 months and lost 6 lbs... I've just started eating maintenance and trying to work out several times a week. I'm definitely feeling less hungry. It is yet to be seen if I'll loose weight.

    You can do it!!! Keep going!

    I just hit my pre-pregnancy weight, and am trying to lose another 20-30 more. When I found out I was preggers I weighed 167, and ended up being 212 when I was admitted into the hospital to deliver. The first 25 lbs just dropped off in the first week or so after delivering my little one, and then I started doing insanity to help with the rest. Now I'm at 166 and I feel great! Only 10 more lbs and I'll be pre MC weight, and another 10-20 and I'll be what I weighed in highschool! Can't wait to see the difference in a few weeks! (:

    I'm with you all! I put on 7st (don't work in lbs, lol!) with my son 3yrs ago and lost all but a st of it before getting pregnant with my daughter. She is now 7wks old and I'd dearly love to get back to the weight I was before getting pregnant with my son. Sooooo, only 4st (oh alright then, 56lbs!) to lose! We have a wedding to attend in November and I hope to have lost at least a st before then! I've tried Weight Watchers and Slimming World before but thought I'd give something else a try. xx

    I'm right there with you! I went from 135 (totally thought i was fat of course) to 265 by the time my son was 2 years old... took me 2 years to get down to 195... then i had my daughter, and my OB forced me to gain weight so i went back up to about 225... she just turned 3 and i'm at 194.... i want to be 145 (some day i will be i swear!!) - so feel free to add me!!

    well good on you for connecting with others on here! it's a good place for support eh!
    not sure what 150lbs is in kgs but i got up to 99kgs in my last pregnancy... my last baby weighed 10lb10oz which is just under 5kgs. big boy!
    that behind me i am looking forward to a new wardrobe now!
    Stick to the calorie counter on here but don't eat the calorie credits and it will all be weight loss. All the best. :-)

    so nice to see out there people who put on as much as me. im so annoyed tho my weight wasnt monitored thru pregnancy, i kinda expected it to be :S anyway i so wish it had been idve never let it build up to 3X the reccomended amount!!!!

    ive already plateaued after only 8lb loss gaah

    btw my lads just gone 9 weeks old so ive started working on this weight as soon as i was allowed so fingers xed it makes a difference...i cant actually get my head around having to lose 70 more lbs i seriously dont feel this heavy but im in this situation n i can only keep going to get out of it hey?

    keep going everyone, and if there are any more success stories from mums please share. maybe add how long it took you and your effort level...(i know some in my town lose it when they dont even care if they keep it)...to give us still going hope it is going to be lost :)

    Hey there...Im actually 28 weeks pregnant with my second son and my first son just turned a year old.lol. I am trying to watch what I eat at this point because I never got to lose the weight from having my son before I got pregnant again and I want to keep my baby healthy. Before I had my son I was losing weight then gained to be the heaviest I have ever been. I have always been on the bigger side but after I have this baby I will need all the support I can get to lose and be healthy for my babies, husband, and of course myself. I would love to have a few more friends to help on the support end because I like alot of others know exactly WHAT to do, its just hard to keep motivated to get it done.
