I still have about 15 pounds to go. I've tried off and on to loose it, but this time, I'm serious. X-mas is coming up and my husband has three sisters who will be looking to see if I've lost the "baby weight."
Am I alone here or is anyone else finding it hard to lose the weight?

I'll hold you in my heart until I hold you in heaven.
I'm technically 5 lbs less than pp weight, but all of my clothes are still snug and I feel really flabby. I had to buy all longer shirts to hide the mess that is now my midsection. I refuse to buy all new pants though so I guess I'll just keep feeling bad about myself in my size 6s until they look better again (which my mom says won't ever really happen)
I plan on training for a marathon in the spring so if that doesn't do it, I'm just going to get knocked up again! At least my pants will be comfy then!

I still have about 30 lbs to lose - but it's all my fault. I really haven't worked hard to lose any of it. I've also been laid off since the end of May - and I find is so hard to control myself at home because I am a big grazer. Luckily, I just got a job, so hopefully I can get myself together, and focus to lose the weight
ETA: I gained 60 during the pregnancy - so I did lose some of it in the beginning.

Finally just lost the last 5 lbs in the last few weeks. I gained a little over 30 this time with baby #3. My belly is still super flabby though:(
NO
I lost weight while I was pregnant. Ended up 40 lbs lighter than I was pre-pregnancy. Unfortunately, I've gained about 25 of it back already.
I'm a mess. I eat when I'm stressed & lonely. Having a baby has made me stressed & lonely. Oh - and I also used to workout all the time, but I'm having a hard time getting back into a routine with that. Not sure wtf I'm gonna do.
Thank you ladies! You make me feel better about myself!
My full story...
Gained about 15 before pregnancy, THEN gained 55 during pregnancy (!!!), then finally joined Jenny Craig seven weeks ago. Since then, I've lost 15 pounds, and I have thirty pounds to go before I reach my goal weight (where I was before I started this baby journey).
I feel flabbier than I was before baby, so I plan to join our local rec center (which offers child care) so I can work out while DD plays.
Good luck, and know that you are NOT alone.
I'm new to this board so I hope it's okay to jump right in and start posting.
I gained 35 pounds with my last pg and lost about 23 pounds within the first 3 weeks. The remaining 12 pounds took 6 months to lose. I think going back to work full-time was what did the trick for me, as I was already watching what I ate and exercising.
Mom to 4 wonderful children: T(8), B(6) ,M(3), and A(1)
My weight befor i found out i was prego was 107 i gained 40lbs my son is 11 months old and ive only lost 10 pounds. I've tried everything to lose the weight but it just wont come off. Im now seeing a diet doctor and taking meds so i hope to lose the rest by summer. But im not getting my hopes up.
