Any mommies out there just recently give birth and trying to loose the post pregnancy weight? I gave birth to my 2nd child in May and had gained 52 lbs when I was pregnant. I just finished breastfeeding and have started taking control of my body again by starting my workout and diet. I hate this in between stage where your pre-pregnancy clothes won't fit and your maternity clothes make you sick. Also, due to the way my son was in my stomach (all out front) I am now carrying a "pooch" of a belly which is not attractive at all. I dread watching my boobs shrink back to normal from the lack of breastfeeding only to see how far my stomach really does stick out.

Geez, the joys of motherhood.

    I delivered number 4 on Christmas Eve. I gained around 54 but still had 10 on from number 3. ( I gained 70 with my first 2 and 60 with my 3rd)

    I have lost 42 pounds but still have the last 22 to go, so it looks like we have very similar goals. Just joined a few days ago. Welcome and congrats on your new addition. :happy: :happy: If it helps, my body bounced back better than ever after number two. It was number three that made my boobs fall off. lol I am sure you will be back to your pre-baby body in no time.

    I gave birth to my first Dec 12 07. I gained lots of weight. About 65. I hate it! I use her as an excuse to be fat, need to stop!

    I gave birth to my first on November 28, gained about 40 pounds. I lost 20 right away but since then I have lost about 7 pounds in 6 months (horrible). I'm still breastfeeding and probably will for a couple more months though I am so ready to have my body back. Good luck! We can do it!!:bigsmile:

    My third is about to be one (he's the cutie to the left:smooched: ) next month-so I can no longer use him as my excuse...I gained 50 lbs with each of my three. After my second (when I thought we were DONE) I lost all of my weight and then some. I looked HOT :smokin: :love: if I do say so myself. Too hot I guess, cuz the hubby wanted to try for number three:blushing: . So here I am almost a year later, wondering, hoping, trying, to get back to what I looked and felt like a year and ten months ago...I did it once-I can do it again! I know it will be work, but I felt so much better all around when I looked better and had more energy.:happy:
