Do you have your pre-prego body back?

I for one definitely don't, I have been wearing oversized stretchy capris, and shorts and old big tshirts for 7months now. I have about 10lbs more to go....What about the rest of you? I am breastfeeding so maybe it is all in my boobs, do you think boobs can weigh 10lbs?? : )

 

I guess really big boobs can weigh 10 lbs! I always found that I didn't loose the last of the weight until I stopped BF. It was like my body kept a small layer of fat or something!

As for me, I am wearing clothes that are 2 sizes bigger than before I got pregnant. :angry: My fault. I just don't want to workout when I can carve out the time, b/c then I have no time for the computer, less time for cleaning the house, etc. And I definitely eat when I am stressed, bored, etc.

My older girls start back at school in two days, and I think the routine will help get me on track. I will be doing my Jillian Michael's DVD again (kicks your butt!) and eating more regular and healthy meals. So, do me a favot and post this again in a few months! :lol:

 

After my twins I got within 3 lbs of my prepregnancy weight, but it was distributed so different that I really didn't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. That said, after Evan, I am not in my pre-pregnancy clothes yet again!

 

I think I am going to let myself on the computer only after I have exercised!

 

I am just starting to be able to fit into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes. My goal was to fit in everything by the time the girls are 1 year old. But it's taken a lot of hard work exercising and a ton of dieting. It seems like even after I lose the weight it takes my body a few weeks to shift around.

 

My body is very, very different than pre-pregnancy, but I think it's better. I am about 15-20 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight and into sizes I haven't worn since college. I am breastfeeding, and I think that helped, but I had a hard time gaining weight during my pregnancy, so I think that affected me more than anything. I've also been working out a lot. I run sometimes, but it's too hot to really run as much as I would like. I also do a lot of ab exercises and a LOT of pushups.

 

It's closer than I thought it would be those first few days after delivering. I'm a couple lbs over, but can fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes. it's just my awful stomach that still bothers me. Looks normal in clothes, but really is still disgustilng.

 

I am within about 3-5 lbs of my prepregnancy weight, but my body is SO different. I've never had an issue with my thighs or butt, and now I just can't seem to get them back to normal. And my stomach is definitely not normal. I'm beginning to think I need to accept that my body will never be the same again.

 

I was back into most of my prepregancy clothes by the time they were two months, and all by the time they were three months. I did loose all the weight, plus about 3 lbs; however i have this unwanted gut I never had before. I lost all my butt and it went to my gut!!

 

I am actually about 5lbs less then my pre-pregnancy weight and I attribute that to not being on the pill anymore. I gained weight with the pill and I could never get it off, now it's gone. I'm happy with everything except the way my belly looks. It's flat but a deflated balloon look, ugh. My boobs are MUCH smaller, ugh. I walk A LOT with the boys and run sometimes as well. I need to get my diet in check though!

Ug, same here. I fit in my pre-pregnancy clothes but I have this horrible muffin top with all my pants that I can actually take my stomach and pull it up and make it hang even more . When I go out I wear a spandex binder thingy that goes from under my bra to my hips so that does help. It takes away some of the pooch.

I ff and it took me 3 months to loose 7 lbs which was very frustrating. I was working out every other day and watching what I ate but the weight just would not move. I hurt my knee so I have not been working out for that last 2 months so it's slowly creeping back. I had a physical and mentioned how difficult is was to lose the weight and she said that I would not see any significant loss until at least 6 months because of the hormones. Well, they will be 8 months of Friday and it's still not coming off.

We did years of fertility treatments and I put on a lot of my weight from the drugs (and stress). I would love to be pre-infertility treatment weight and that would be 25lbs less than what I am now.

 

:unsure: OOOOO So we ARE supp. to loose that weight????? LOL Nope. No where close. I got another 20ish pounds to go. I did just rejoin my gym and with some of thie kids going to school on Thurs I finally will have time for that post pregnancy yoga video I bought.

 

I have 10 more pounds to go too!!! It's been rough, I was stuck at 15 pounds to go for about 3-4 months! Somehow I just recently lost 5 pounds of that.....I haven't been able to work out like I WANT to, so that's probably why the pounds aren't coming off so easily. I also want to be my pre-pregnancy size by the time the girls are 1!! I did, however, recently wear a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans! They were my "fat" jeans, but still...I owned them & wore them prior to getting pregnant! :lol:

 

i am one pound above my pre-preg weight lol but am trying to lose 25 pounds from here and it's VERY stubborn. my stomach IS shrinking down slowly... it was my best feature pre-preg, and now i'm afraid it'll never be the same

 

Nope! And I doubt I ever will at this rate! I gained almost 50 lbs with the boys and was 15 pounds heavier than at my heaviest weight. Does that make sense? Anyways.. It's very hard for me to lose weight(PCOS) and I get discouraged rather easily!

Not to mention, the infertility stuff to deal with... and...we will be going for #3 within a month!

 

YES! :yahoo: I had my body back (plus boobies!) within a few weeks of delivering. I gained half my weight when I was pregnant. My hips are a little wider though so I did have to get rid of quite a few pairs of jeans but I have been wearing my pre-preggo bikinis to the beach and pools!

Please dont hate me.

 

NO!

Haha, I'm jealous, I had to buy NEW bikinis because my PP boobs needed a little more coverage! I could still wear ONE of my pre-preggo tops, but the bottoms that matched are brazilians, and I feel weird letting that much of my butt show now that I'm somebody's mom! :lol:

 

I am with cjk2002. I want to be pre-fertility drugs body. I am 5'9 and usually weigh about 160-165, which I think is great
because I'm athletic and play sports and work out a lot. I started pregnancy at around 175-180 after a years worth of medicines and not working out because of follicles and all of that (fertility people can relate). I tipped to almost 230 during pregnancy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bedrest for four months people. My girls are 11 weeks and I am still at 200. I just don't know what to do. It is shocking to me to think that I weigh
200 pounds!!!!!!!!!! I never had a problem with my butt, never...but it is huge now. It is so weird. I really need to jump on the train and start working out, this is ridiculous. Ah...now I'm depressed.

 

Its funny, I lost all my weight immediately. However, I still need to lose the rest of the weight from my first child 5 years ago LOL. I didn't gain hardly anything while preg with the twins, it was all belly. My body does look different though, some ways better some ways NOT AT ALL. Like my belly *ugh* who wants to talk about that one?

What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome


I lost all my weight very quickly and even went about 15 lbs below pre-pregnancy weight while nursing. I recently stopped nursing and am starting to regain all that weight which makes me really sad. Plus my stomach is totally saggy and gross. I really need to start working out again. And I definitely plan on getting a tummy tuck at some point in the future.

 

My weight is back to normal (breastfeeding) but I have a charming belly flap that I have been advised will not go away. My cup size went from a C to an H so I am guessing once the BF is over there will be a little extra left up top too. Charming!

 

I weighed 192lbs and was a size 18 when I got pregnant and I weighed 191lbs when I went into the hospital to have my girls. They are 7.5 months old and I weigh 137lbs and am a size 6 or 8. I had Gestational Diabetes and I am breastfeeding. But I do workout 2-3x a week. TWINS.... the best weight lose program I have ever been on!

 

No way. I'm trying. Granted, I was not body beautiful before pregnancy either

 

I was back into my pre-preg clothes at about 4 months after I had the boys. But my stomach is definately different! I still fit into my old jeans but when I sit down my stomach hangs over! Uggh!! I think I just got stretched out too far and now I have all this excess skin! I agree with whomever said their stomach looks like a deflated balloon. I had stretch marks from my belly to my boobs by the end of the pregnancy and I joked with my husband that it looked like a big road map I wasn't able to breastfeed and I had a c-section and I have heard that its harder for your tummy to go away after a c-section because of all the scar tissue and the way they sew up your muscles.

 

I lost all of the pg weight. My tummy is getting close to what it was before, but my chest seems deflated after bfing.

 

I weigh less than when I got pg, but my body is still not my body. Things are just way different then before. I am even more out of shape now than before and that is saying something. I am hoping things will return to normal or hopefully better than normal by the time the twins are 1. Not holding out too much hope however, the holidays are coming up and with winter, I know I am not going to be able to get out and do as much as I would like. I hate to exercise and so we will just have to wait and see. :unknw:

 

YESS!!! :yahoo:

I Was back to pre-pregnancy weight by the time the boys were 6 months old.... Now I am 10 lbs under, which is exactly where I wanted to be!!! Wahoo!! I had to buy new smaller clothes!

Now, on to the worse part, my boobs have shrunk my once "perfect" (IMO anyway) C-cups are now much smaller and less "perky" B-cups......

That and I must say its Sexy as hell to be able to pull the skin out on your stomach!

Sigh... one-pieces for me from now on!!!

LOL

Nope. 20 pounds to go at 7 months out. I do have to say, though, that I at least see a shape returning (slowly but surely!). I'm sure it will never be the same, I'm just hoping for an approximation.

 

I'm only eight weeks out so I'm not calling in the verdict on anything yet. I just wanted to say that I was reminded recently. . .

Cleopatra had twins once!

And yet look how she went down in history. :lol:

Wonder how her stomach looked afterwards . . .

 

I am within a couple pounds of my prepregnancy weight. However, having two C-Sections has taken it's toll.
I guess it could be worse, but I have lots of scar tissue around my incision. I do run 5x per week and am chasing
after my two year old as well so I think that has helped!

 

was 130, now 150. i got 20lbs to go, UGH. i would be happy at 140 though, 130 was a bit too skinny now that i see pics of myself. 150 doesnt look THAT bad, but i feel like crap about myself. its all in my arse and thighs. my tummy is almost normal. im hoping my xmas i'll be down to 140. i eat crappy though...lol i like sweets..and carbs and i can barely walk 1/4 mile without being POOPED. i do have a TON of taebo dvds, and the weighted resistance bands. i love me some billy blanks! he's so motivational! i did an hour a day of taebo before i go pregnant. i do miss him! lol

 

I've been down below pre-pregnancy weight for weeks now at 114 lbs. and 5'7" tall. When I got preggo I was at 120 lbs. I'm now almost 5 weeks PP. My main issue is the fact that these babies were #5 and #6 and I carried them to 38.5 weeks and was all belly, but now my belly looks like it's been ran over by a truck and the stretch marks and loose skin are horrid! I used to have such nice, smooth tight skin on my belly until the twins, lol. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the skin look better without the costly plastic surgery? I'm really upset about how my belly looks these days. Oh, and the skin hurts sooo badly still. Way worse than the incision from the c-section ever did!

 

I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight but I was not happy with that number because of infertility. That/This is the most I ever weighed. Even so being the same # weight as before pregnancy means nothing to me because I can't fit in ANY of those clothes. I have a closet full of nice stuff that I would love to wear but when I put it on and get a muffin top over my pants I just want to scream. I bought a couple of outfits to get me by but I wear the same thing 2 times a week because I refuse to buy more. I need to just loose these 10lbs and move on with my life. I am so lazy though because I have never had to work out and I really hate it. So I sit here and complain but yet do nothing about it. I did start walking once a week with a friend for an hour but it has only been 3 weeks. I need these lbs gone by the end of the month! UGH to be a woman.....
