    Today i looked waaay back in my closet, and found---dun dun dun--my skinny jeans....and i thought--hmmmmm

    would you believe they fit? :yahoo:

    not talking pre-pregnancy jeans (those have been too big for weeks), these are 10-pounds-less-than-that-jeans and i just feel like a waif model (despite the fact that they ARE size 8!)

    i'm eating like a bandit, pigging out at all hours, i just LOVE the caloric needs of producing milk for 2! i just can't believe it! LOL definitely made my day after being cooped up for 3 days with the babies' first colds.... :mellow:

    sorry, just had to share with people who might understand!

    LOVE IT!!! I have had to buy a new pair of jeans each week for the last 3 weeks (luckily I was able to find good ones on sale) I was finally able to buy my regular size today I just about threw up when I got into them.

    Congratulations I know what a good feeling it is!

    :p I hate you.

    Because I'm so jealous.

    I'm still in my fat jeans.

    You rock.

    Way to go! I'm in my cute skinny jeans too but the little friend hanging out above the waistline of them...not so cute.

    Oh, no fair! Can I be you? :lol: All my "baby weight" dropped off in a couple weeks, except for the last 10 lbs or so, which wants to stay forever and ever.

    Hmm, I suppose you could always hire yourself out as a wet nurse once your babies wean if you still want to scarf the chips and look like Kate Moss! :p

    I was going to suggest pumping for a milk bank or employment as a wet nurse ;)

    I'm also quite envious because even though I'm now 18 pounds below my pre-preg weight, I'm still in the same jeans size I was then because of the loose skin adding to my waistline (and it's NOT an 8 ). Sigh. <_<

    WTG!!! I know how you're feeling. I just had my boys 2 1/2 weeks ago and am pumping for them since they are both in the NICU (and were only 30 weekers). I am already at my pre-pregnancy weight! I can't believe it. Everytime I step on the scale, I've lost more weight. I never thought that having twins would be the best diet. I do worry though about when it's time to stop...I just don't want the weight to come piling back on.

    Ah, I remember those days so well! I was buying size 4 pants last summer and eating everything in sight. Sadly, weaning changed all that this summer and I'm back to normal - which is 10 pounds heavier than I want to be. Enjoy it while it lasts, and my best advice is try and wean yourself off all the high calorie yummies as you wean them, whenever that is (college?) ;)

    I am also loving eating for three! As a previous post mentioned, I think I could do the wet nurse thing and continue eating like this forever!

    Congrats!

    I know the excitement. Well kind of. I got back into my prepregnancy pants a few days after delivering (low rise jeans rock!), I'm still the same size pants but I look better than I did before I got pregnant. Now about these stretch marks...
