I lost weight while pregnant (GD diet) so I'm about 30 lbs less than my pre-preg weight, but shaped a lot differently now. I can afford to lose another 20-30 lbs still but I haven't been eating very well lately so that's kind of a stand still.
I am 8 pounds away from my pre-tilly weight but 25 pounds from my pre-pj weight. I think it's bullshit because I'm running three times a week, do a core class once a week and yoga once. And I'm eating well. Siiioogh
I gained a load of weight (60lbs) while pregnant, thanks in part to the delicious pasta deliveries while I was on bed rest. I am not obsessing over it as long as the scale keeps going in the right direction. Breastfeeding and the dairy free diet has me losing ~2 pounds a week.
I gained 33 lbs while pregnant and had lost all but 3 of it by my 6 week post partum checkup. I think I lost about another 10 since then and would love to lose another 5. Everything is shaped differently though. Boobs are bigger and so my shirts are harder to wear since they feel tighter and shorter. Hips are wider and stomach is still flabby, but I can tell my face is thinner. This is the new normal I guess.
I do a stroller strides class 2-3 times a week and I eat pretty healthy (limit myself to only 1-2 cookies/day and 1glass of wine). I'm terrified that I'll blow back up once I'm done BFing...
I am about 20 lbs lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight. My body is still shaped differently though, in my ribs and hips. I was in a normal range to start out with, now I am slightly underweight (need to gain back at least 3 lbs). I have been struggling to keep weight on between staying so busy with the baby, being stressed (I tend to eat less when under stress, also I have a history of ED), and breastfeeding. I try to inspire myself to eat more calories by focusing on the need to keep up the calories for my breast milk supply, knowing that I want my daughter to be healthy/have a healthy body image and by knowing that in order to conceive again I will need to be in a normal weight range. I actually wrote down a meal plan of healthy ideas for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. I thought that I was going to have trouble with the weight gain during pregnancy (I really didn't at all, which felt great... finally felt like it was okay to eat without guilt)... what surprised me was how hard this hit after the baby was here. The combo of stress, being alone, etc. has been a perfect firestorm. I have really had to stay on top of it. It's a struggle, and it makes me insane.
I gained 30 and have 7-10lbs to lose depending on the day. I blame it on bfing and my crazy appetite. The weight doesnt bother me too much because I still weigh ten pounds less than I did 6 months before I got pregnant. I started running to get in shape before we started trying to get pregnant.
I've got 10 lbs left to lose. Day-to-day I feel fine about myself, but then I see pictures of me now and I'm like wow am I really that big?! I just need to start working out and I'm sure I'd feel better at least.
I went into it overweight, managed to keep the gaining under control, lost it all by my first checkup, and now am still working on losing the other weight. Total fail on that front, so far.
About 10 lbs still but I also was working out before becoming pg and recently lost 10 lbs. So the weight Im at now isn't terrible, it's a comfortable weight for me (at least that's what I keep telling myself). The worst part is jelly belly and love handles ugh

I just started strength training again last week, so hopefully I'll be back to my old body (or something close to it) in a month or so.
Also, this never would have happened (the weight loss, I mean) if I hadn't had to remove dairy, soy, wheat, nuts, and beef from my diet.
