You lose all your fluid weight first and
then the extra pounds that you put on..If
you did not pig out during pregnancy you
should be back to your normal self within
6-8 weeks.

I didn't "pig out" during pregnancy. I
was really underweight when I got
pregnant. My doctors told me to gain 65
pounds. I gained almost 80. I was back
in my size 3s after 3months, zeros after 6
months. It really just depends on your
body, whether you breastfeed or not, what
type of weight you gained (i gained a lot
of water weight due to pre-eclampsia),
etc. There's no telling. I have a
friend (my neighbor) whose daughter is
almost 18 months old and she's still 30
pounds heavier. Really... It just
depends.

I actually want to keep the weight that I
gained everywhere but my stomach. Wehn I
first started gaining I went from a 1 to a
2 to a 4. I like that size and I hope
that once the tummy goes down I can keep
it. Or it would be even better if I
could make it to a 6 (i've still got 12
weeks left).

I stayed in pretty good shape when I was
pregnant. I was in the army so I worked
out at the gym pretty much everyday for
about an hour. It helped me to not feel
as fatigued and so healthy. I stopped
working out at 7 1/2 months and I had my
son november 19, 2005. I haven't worked
out since (as much as I would love to) and
I just got back down to a size 4 (my
pre-pregnancy size). The key is
breastfeeding. You can still pretty much
eat what you want (within reason) and the
weight just drops off! Its amazing.

Well i'm 1 month post partum now... :)
and omg the weight is just melting off!!!
I'm not quite at pre-preggy shape yet (i
try on my fav. Pair of jeans everyday...)
I think i'm still about 10 lbs more than
before... The weirdest thing is my
tummy... Instead of being so tight and
hard like it used to be... Now it is just
flabby and jelly like.... I am thinking
about applying some firming lotion and see
what happens.. :) and yes.. I am breast
feeding :) I also do pilates or go for a
walk every day

I lost about 25 pounds in maybe a week
after having my son. Then I gradually got
more in shape and then, because I wasn't
eating too smart, gained weight again. So
don't get carried away when you see all
that weight drop fast, it's only
temporary.
