I had my precious baby boy almost 3 months ago.  I gained 41 pounds when I was pregnant.  My pre pregnancy weight was 120 and I got up to 161 the day that I had him.  I am now down to 138, but I still look and feel HUGE!  I've always had a small frame, smooth tummy...all of that, but now I feel like I'm a COW!  I see friends who had babies a couple of months before me and I feel like they are soooo skinny and I'll never get down to that.  I've even asked my doctor for pills to help supress my appetite.  Any advice?  I've gotta get rid of this weight!

    i would suggest that you don't do anything like take pills or starve yourself to try and lose weight. what are you eating? you may look into a raw or partially raw diet. it puts you at your optimal heath, makes you feel great, and will get you at the weight your body needs to be.

    May I recommend joining Weight Watchers?  That has been my plan post pg and I'm actually looking forward to it. (oddly enough)

    I joined their program to lose for my wedding and it worked like a charm.  Then I got pg and the lifestyle plan goes out the window.

     Good luck!

    There's a great workout that you can do called the Calisthenic workout, I love it. It's great because you don't need ANY equipment and you can do it at home with your little one. Man it's good!

    I agree with the PP about Weight Watchers. I had a miscarriage in April 2007, afterward my depression took its toll and I topped the scale at 178. I started WW in June and by November I was down to 136. It did take a while to get used to but it worked better then anything I ever tried. I felt so good while doing it. I felt extremely healthy and happy. I am planning on going back to WW at the first of the year. Best of luck in losing the weight! =)
