    Hi! I am embarassed to admit that I have not signed in since I found out I was pregnant 9 months ago! Now I have a healthy 6 week old baby boy and am REALLY looking forward to getting my prebaby body back!
    Here's the thing...
    YES, remember: you gave yourself 9 months to gain the weight, so give yourself 9 months to lose it!
    Also, my physical therapist (the government sends you for free post natal apppointments after you give birth in Belgium - awesome!) told me yesterday that if you are breastfeeding, your hormones will maintain a lot of your weight until after you stop. Bummer to hear as I plan to breastfeed for at least 9 months...
    My PT gave me a great post natal workout for getting the belly back in shape, if anyone is interested!
    GOOD LUCK!!!

    My Oldest is 4.5 and my baby is 4 months. I am trying to lose the weight. After I had him I immediately lost 10 pounds and then 20....to make me 175 well all of the sudden I am back up to 205 :( So for the past 2 weeks I have worked out EVERY day and kept my calories to under 1500...well guess what NO WEIGHT LOSS! My husband started counting calories a week ago (he doesnt need to lose too much maybe 15 pounds) and he lost 6 pounds....not even working out :( It is SO frustrating! But I will keep at it.....ugh!

    OP-- just a thought, I know you like your pepsi's have you thought of switching like 1 a day to a zero or diet??? I did that with all of my cokes-- plus I went to unsweet tea (unsweet tea is wrong in so many ways, but I've been biting the bullet and doing it-- sigh:ohwell: )

    Yes. I am a mother of 4. My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 9 months. It took me about 1 1/2 to lose the baby weight from my first 3, but I did not gain nearly as much weight as I gained with my last one. Before I got pregnant I weighed 160lbs. When he was 2 months (after my uterus went down somewhat) I weighed 215 :( I was horrified. I currently weigh 190lbs. It is so hard working out at this size, but I am so motivated. Go girl, you can do it!

    My little boy is 16 wks old and I am trying to lose the weight it is so hard! I am back to my prebaby weight but the jelly belly is really getting me down. I want to lose about 20lbs but its really trying to tone my stomach that is the most important. I joined a boot camp on Monday its 3 times a wk so hopefully that will get me back into shape! Ill keep you posted on it!:happy:

    i'm also here to lose baby weight. My son will be 8 weeks Monday, and I gained 23lbs while pregnant with him. I lost 18lbs of it during the first 2 weeks after giving birth, but that last 5 decided to stick around. Once I get to my pre-pregnancy weight, I still have 75lbs that I want to lose to reach my ultimate goal weight.
