How long until you moms reached pre-preg weight?

I can't help you there. I never want to go back to my pre-pregancy weights. I lost weight during both pregnancies being on a strict gestational diabetes diet and exercising. I weigh at least 80 or 90 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight.

But if you are really trying hard, exercising and eating right and it's still not coming off, you might want to see your doctor. My sister was diagnosed with hypothyroid disease after her 2nd pregancy which causes her to gain weight without medication. It's apparently pretty common after pregnancy. Maybe you should get tested.

Also, if you are still nursing, you might be carrying a little extra weight on top that will go away afterwards, so don't be so hard on yourself. Look into getting a good sports bra like an Enell bra that is super compression... absolutely no bouncing. Bouncing is not comfortable, especially if you are nursing.

I've had three kids and with the firs two I was able to get within about 15 pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight within about five months or so, which I was fine with, but this last one, wooo doggie!

My youngest is two and I am the heaviest I have ever been even while pregnant. I weigh 180 pounds, 20 more than when I gave birth to him. A big part of it was I became very sick two months after he was born with asthma and was put on steroids. Lots of them.

But I have to tell you, while I am not happy with my weight, I have recenlty learned not to stress out that I am not losing weight like I used to. I am older, I can't exercise like I used to and I am on medications. I will keep doing what I'm doing and I know that if I make my first priority to be healthy, weight loss will follow.

My daughters are 17 and 18......and here I am

Noooo....I guess it took around 6 months to feel that I was back into my normal clothes. And yes, it definitely got easier when I stopped breast-feeding and 'got my body back to myself', if you see what I mean. Sometimes its not losing weight it's more toning up the bits you have got. Enjoy your little one....time goes real fast

I probably dropped the weight in the first 3 months or so with exclusivly breastfeeding, but with my last pregnancy I only gained about 20 lbs. Unfortuanlty in the next year I gained it all back and then some

That being said. MY BODY was not back to "normal" shape even when I lost that 20lbs. So even if you loose the weight you may not fit into those pants ever, Your hips change, everything changes. I'm not saying that you can never go to a smaller size, but some things never fit the same. In Jan I started on MFP and with eating right and trying to fit workouts in with two kids (usually Jillian Michaels shred or the Wii) I lost 35 lbs and counting and my baby pouch is down huge. I figure that even when I reach my goal weight I'll still have to work on my bellly, but as you loose it does go down.

So maybe don't worry so much about lbs and measure.Try to do some ab work daily (I know you don't get a six pack from just crunches but combined with eating well I found the crunches did help target the belly area). Yes some of my cloths don't fit the same, but I found I'm loving my body more and more as I loose weight and get healthy, you'll get there. Just think once the baby is running around you'll burn a ton of calories chasing him/her.
