At 3 months, you should be back to your pp weight

This is what the baby book from the hospital says. WHAT!?? I still have 12lbs to lose!

Now I feel like crap.

Don't feel like crap. That book is crap. I think I know one woman IRL who actually was back to her prepregnancy weight that quickly. And she was always super skinny.

whatever happened to 9 months on, 9 months off!

Everything I see says it takes as long to take off as it did to put on so 40 weeks. But the key is to stop eating like you are pregnant which many (me included with #1) dont do.

I have waaay more than 12 lbs to lose. That is crap. And I'm exercising, but was only given the ok not even two weeks ago.

9 months up, 9 months down. That's what I think about that book

Really? Who wrote that book and I second the idea to burn the book.Most of what I have read and people that I have talked to including my my doc told me not to even think about weight loss until after 6 weeks and that it is a gradual process. Just goes to show that anyone get write and publish a book.

I really thought that this was a judgy statement and I was ready to come in here and flame.

That book is a load of crap. I gained the recommended amount of weight (gradually), I am EBFing, and I still have 10lbs to lose.

Well IMO that book sucks! I am nearly 3 years PP and still holding on to that weight (about 25lbs)! I did lose all but 4 of the 39 I gained with #2 at 10 wks pp.

I want to be in single diget pants sizes again damn it! 3 more to go Ick!

But what does it say about getting things back into the right places? That's my biggest issue right now - not the weight exactly, but getting things to fit me again
