• i am about to have my first and feel like loosing the weight asap


  • yes- breastfeeding really helped me lose weight- i look better now than i did before


  • Well duh, most women aren't. And as far as loosing the weigh ASAP don't count on it. It takes time, work and patients. No fad diets if you plan on breastfeeding. You need the calories to produce a good milk supply. Be patient and concentrate on your baby. Good luck.


  • It depends on the person. I am ok with mine because I started losing weight two weeks after having my baby and now that is three weeks I am back at the weight I was before. Every one is different though.


  • I weigh less not then before i had my daughter. NO stretch marks or anything but my one area im always complaining in is my Breasts they went from 34 B to well lets just say they arent even full enough of anything to even have a size..its pretty depressing. Id do anything to have those back.


  • With my first I gained 30 lbs during my pregnancy. I never really tried to lose weight but most of it came off within 6 months. I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but never wore the same size pants again. My hips were a little wider and I had a bit of a pooch in the front. It probably would have gone away if I had actually exercised but oh well. I'm now 39 weeks pregnant with my second and plan on exercising this time. Since I've only gained 20 lbs this time around I'm hoping it will be easy.


  • Considering I don't work out and I am 20 pounds lighter, why yes :]


  • Yes and no.

    I weigh less(yay) but my hips are wider and I have a "pooch" right about my C-section scar that will not go away.


  • i just had my baby 2 1/2 weeks ago and i have already lost 30 lbs... i still have about 10-15 more to go tho.. other then that, i think i look okay for just having a baby! i can almost fit into my old jeans, but my hips seem wider! i just started a diet today.. and your not suppose to exercise until 6 weeks after.. =(
    also. breast feeding helps alot! i only did it for a week (i couldn't handle it) but it helped me lose weight fast)


  • No I'm not. I am 5'5" and was 120-125 lbs before baby. Now I'm at 130 no matter what I do, and even though it's only 5 lbs, none of my clothes fit right anymore because my hips got wider. I am also a little self conscious of the stretch marks on my hips and butt. It makes me sick that I used to complain about my body before. I was thin and firm. Now, I'm still kinda thin but flabby with big hips and thighs. Honestly though, my body issues just don't get to me like they used to. I am so wrapped up in my son that I hardly think about it. Unless I see someone I went to school with, then I get all self conscious and try to hide it while I talk to them! lol


  • Im not terribly unhappy with it. It is different but not particulary in a bad way. I am back to my prepregnancey weight but My hips have changed shape. I am alot curvier which I dont think is nesesarily a bad thing. The one thing I do despise is the stretch marks. I have them pretty bad and I know i will never be in a bikini again. But oh well. It was worth it and it could be alot worse


  • My son turned a year old in Sept. and I'm finally back to my size 7 jeans..and even those fall off my hips now :) So to answer your question....for a year I hated my post baby body, but it's very slowly starting to look like normal. In fact, my aunt told me a few days ago that I'd lost too much weight..and when I told my husband his response was "you used to have more of a butt" (news to me bc it's always been flat as a board!!) So....I'm happier with it than I was a year ago, but I still feel like I'm adjusting to the 'mommy' body...my breasts are different than they used to be, my tummy isn't as toned as it was, my butt has some how managed to vanish more...and my hips are even different (or at least my jeans sit on my hips differently). Give yourself up to a year to get yourself back into shape ;) And best of luck with the baby!


  • Im happy. I shrank back to the exact same size and no stretch marks, thank God. But my belly button looks kinda gross :-/ And I got SMALLER boobs out of the deal...not so happy about that either.


  • I'm actually quite satisfied...

    I weighed 109lb before at 5'7". I liked my body because I had no extra meat and could fit into anything, but when I look back on my body I feel like I looked ill lol. Now I have a little extra yums around my waist and a nice booty (minus the stretch marks on it). I also like my nursing breasts!

    Breastfeeding will help you to lose the weight faster, along with a good diet. I slip up and eat junk once in a while, but overall I do not eat nearly as often, and do my best to cook at least 5 nights a week (I work a terrible schedule for the cooking type).

    I'll tell ya what I hate.. I can fit back into a pair 7-8 size Aeropostale pants I spent extra money on to get... they make me feel super hot, but I have a teeny muffin top thing going with them because they're a little tight. It's just my hips I guess. I could fit smaller pants if it weren't for my hips.

    I now weigh around 121-123lb 3 months PP. I plan to get walking more and doing some sit-ups to tone up my tummy and tighten up the thighs. Can't wait!!


  • Not quite yet, but I'm getting closer every day. :)


  • eh...i look alright i guess. the important thing is *hubby* still thinks i'm hot :wink::wink:

    when i look in the mirror, i see a flabby pouch, but that's the only real "problem" area for me... it's the only thing i'm a little self-conscious about. i did get a few small stretchmarks, but they're on my inner thigh...hubby never noticed them until i complained about them one day (i was having one of those "i look terrible!" days)

    dd1 - gained 42 lbs, took about 6months(ish) to get back into my larger non-pregnancy clothes. about a yr to get into my smaller outfits...never was able to get into my 2 fave pairs of jeans =(

    dd2 - had a hard time gaining weight, but by the time i delivered, i had gained 24.5lbs...was back in my smaller clothes within 2 months...but i think it's b/c i was tandem nursing. (and i nursed throughout my pregnancy, which might have been why i had a hard time gaining weight)

    haha, it's funny what ♥ Andelyn's Mommy ♥ said about the confidence thing. i *am* much more confident than pre-baby. i had a (little bit) better body, was in better shape (not as flabby), but my demeanor was much more timid


  • I hate my body. I let everything go. I still can't fit into my clothes but I don't eat right. I think it started with my severe PPD as soon as I got home from the hospital. Everything was messed up. I am feeling better but my body could be looking better. It's been 7 months. I do belong to the gym now so I'm hoping that helps.


  • Sort of. I'm able to fit into all my pre-baby clothes. And I'm able to physically do all that I can. But... I've got a little pooch now.

    In any case, keep in mind that losing weight ASAP is good... but don't expect to be making huge leaps in progress before about 9 months. Your body took 9 months to get to this point. It takes 9 months to get back.


  • I am too busy trying to get my 10day old baby to feed and sleep, to worry about my jiggly belly. I am not "happy" with it, but I am slowly losing the weight and it has only been 10 days. I still look five months pregnant but that is common. When I have lost the weight (usually within 4 months after) I am happy.


  • I am going to have to go with the Yes and No answer as well.

    I lost all the weight and 1 lb (lol talk about nickle and dimin!) I have a flabbier stomach but I must admit it wasn't perfect before hand! lol

    On the other hand, I am MUCH more confident, and happier with my body, and myself, knowing that I gave birth to this baby and that I am my daughter's mother and she loves me for who I am! It sounds silly I know, but I feel so much better about myself just because I am a mom! haha

    Regardless, you can and will lose the weight! I remember how it feels being pregnant, all I wanted to do was excercise and at least be able to do a situp! Now that I am able to? Not soo much...haha I breastfed and I think that helped tremendously!


  • I have a belly that talks to people, I guess I dont have the time or energy to even think about myself let alone losing weight, but I also like to think that my body is the end result of something so wonderful, and the lines on my breasts from stretch marks arrrghhh oh well


  • Hmm. Yes and no. I'm happy I have a body now. I wore a size 1-3 in juniors before baby and it was so hard to find clothes that I liked or that fit. At the same time I miss that bean pole look I had going on! It was all I ever knew.


  • Absolutely not. I'm not even sure about how much I weigh now, my son is 3 1/2 months and I'm sure that I've lost more than half of it butttt I had a nice firm tummy before I got pregnant. Now, it looks like a roadmap. I have TONS of stretch marks and lots of what I call "Belly Jelly" I know I'm still not far past when he was born but I would definitely like to get in better shape. Even with the Belly Jelly...I know I am thin but its hard because I was VERY petite before. Although- either way, my fiance loves me regardless...this I know so that always helps a lot when I'm feeling down. He says the stretch marks and belly dont bother him because all he can think about when he sees them is our beautiful son. So thats always helpful!

    ETA: Don't you wish it was like in the movies when they play some really awesome song and you work out for a total of a minute and 5 months pass and you have this awesome body? I watched a movie the other day and they did a scene like that and I wanted to be all inspired to workout but then reality hit that I would not get her result in 2 minutes lol


  • No. I was happy with it, since I dropped the weight pretty quickly due to nursing, but when he weaned, weight started creeping back on. Also, I miss having breasts! I was a small A cup before, got up to almost a C cup, and now have shrunk again, so I feel even smaller than before.


  • ehhh...not really right now. I am 26 and just had my third baby 9 weeks ago. With my first two I lost the weight very quickly. Mostly because of breastfeeding but some due to eating healthy and a little bit of exercise. Plus, I was petite to start out with. But your body really never is the same. Sure, I weighed less after I had the kids than I did before but things are just different. My hips are slightly wider and my boobs disappeared (I breastfed each for 18 months so no wonder!) My husband thinks I look great and I have received many compliments from friends, family and even strangers but I know what I looked liked before and I see myself naked now and am not exactly happy. But like my husband says "you are your own worst critic." So true...


  • i only gained 20 pounds, had no stretch marks and carried all in the front. 1 week after i had my daughter i was back down to prepregnancy weight and i'm slowly working on firming up a little bit. everything other than a little more jiggle than before is the same so i'm content.


  • Nope, my son was worth the damage to my body but it doesn't mean i have to love my body lol. I had pre eclampsa during my pregnancy and gained 60lbs. A lot of it was water weight but i got stretch marks all over from the gain. Under my arms, on my breasts on my stomach hips and thighs. They are horrible. The upside is breastfeeding helped me lose the weight I weigh less now then I did before i got pregnant. But the damage to my body cant be helped with weight loss. It sucks because i have no desire to tone up my body since its covered in marks:(


  • I didn't even like my pre-pregnancy body all THAT much so i dont even want to know whats gonna happen after...lol. I just know I will breastfeed for over a year if I have to to loose the extra weight.
