Yeah, I know 2 months isnt too long but it seems like eternity. I can NOT fit into my old clothes and I have a major pooch. I used to be the workout queen and I was always in shape but not anymore.
Im just really depressed.
Anyone else in the same boat?

No honey, you're the only one who hasn't lost all the baby weight yet.
Gag me. I'm 3 1/2 months out and I'm still "fat" too.
With DS I was thinner about 9 months after I had him than I was before I had him. However, I will note my body was NEVER the same. A lot of things shifted and changed and a lot of my clothes never fit me again. I'm really curious what happens this time, but curious with a lot more patience.
40 weeks to gain...so I give myself 40 weeks to lose.
I'm actually bigger than I was 2 weeks PP by 5lbs.
I go back oct 14th and I thought I would be back in my clothes by then. I guess Im so sick and tired of everyone saying to me "Oh, you'll lose the weight very quick, I just know it!". Um...no I didnt. Im so sick of this.::sigh::
Same here! I think I gained weight the first 6-8 weeks just because I'd eat in the middle of the night to stay awake.
I'm over 4 months and still fat. I'm fatter now than I was around 24-26 weeks.
No, hon, you're definitely not alone. It is a lucky few who bounce right back within a couple of weeks. My advice: focus on eating as healthy as you can and being as active as you can - and then stop thinking about it. A watched pot never boils, you know? Also, spend the money and buy a few clothes that fit. Don't look at the size
You'll feel way better in clothes that hang right. I consider them part of my maternity wardrobe, which mentally really helped.
Someone recently posted this article, and it really helped me!
Wow. Thank you so much for posting that link. It brought tears to my eyes. That is exactly what I needed. Thank you : )
7 weeks and still fat - my Dr. told didn't give me the OK to exercise until last week and Jenny Craig won't let you start until 6 weeks after with a Dr's note.
My Dr. told me it's OK to diet if your breast feeding - your body will just burn the stored fat faster. I picked up my food and will start on Sunday. It's a great program - food tastes good and you're never hungry. I did it before I started IVF. I hope to be back to my fighting weight prior to the first of the year.
I'm also starting my exercise program. It's more about getting on a schedule that works for the baby and finding a way to eat right vs. eating anything that I can with one hand.
