I want my body back!

So it's been about 2 and a half months since the babies came and I would really like to have my pre-pg body back (Plus the stretch marks and scars of course, can't get rid of those). I have about 10 pounds, 2 love handles, and one batch of twinskin left go. :lol: The pounds came off so quickly at first, but it seems like they are coming off a lot slower now. I'm still bf and I'm attempting to eat healthy. I hate being in the transitional stage where I'm no longer wearing maternity clothes, but I can't quite fit into my pre-pg clothes. It's really frustrating! :angry: I can't really afford a whole new wardrobe at the moment. I keep seeing picts of me before I was pg and I'm afraid that I will never look the same again. Not to sound selfish, I mean my babies were worth every pound and stretch mark, and I would do it all again. But I was curious on how everyone else doing. :huh: Any words of advice, anyone gotten back to their pre-pg weight. Anyone's twinskin gotten tighter or better looking? And how long before that linea negra line went away. Mine is still really visible. Any words of encouragement would be well appreciated

I had my little ones in Aug. and i still have the line. I'm not sure how long it takes. I dont remember it taking this long with my other children, but that was 10 yrs ago. My brain forgets alot after having kids.Lol

 

I still have the line also! But I never even got a very dark line with my other pregs (think it must be because I was stretched so much bigger this time). I fit into my pre-preg clothes at 4 months I think, but I still have the floppy skin. I always lose a lot of weight when I'm nursing, I'm eating a ton to! I hope I can stop eating so much when I stop nursing so I don't gain weight then.

 

I still have 10-15 lb to go but my hips are where it is at. I don't know if they just havn't gone back or ever well. I am sure that is where my extra padding is. I would love to lose it too but everytime I don't eat enough I lose my milk supply so it will have to wait. I just hope not to put on more with the holiday season. I do have to say taht I can get in most of my pants now even if they are tighter than they were.

 

i have lost all my pre-pg weight yet somehow my jeans don't fit. i find myself stuffing my twinskin into a pair of control top underwear if i know i am going out of the house, I just can't stand all the loose skin. i asked the ob when it would firm up and she said "when you get a tummy tuck"
