Are you people all REALLY in your pre-pregnancy clothes?

MrsErinnElizabeth · November 2009

I read that thread about it yesterday and it seems like everyone on this board except for me is happily strolling around in their pre-preg clothes after a few weeks (or days, in some cases). WTF?

I am so far off from my pre-preg clothes it's not even funny. Like months of WW and exercise off. I'm going to be so depressed if I am the only one on this board who didn't bounce back like that.

Please post here if you are in the same boat so I can feel better. And if you ARE in your pre-preg clothes, don't come in here and gloat, unless you want a throat punch!

I'm so not in my pre-pregnancy clothes, far from it. Like you it is going to take a lot of diet and exercise to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans. Actually wore my maternity jeans today to go shopping, really depressed me looking at clothes lol

majors31 · November 2009

i am back to pre-pregnancy weight, but not able to wear most of my clothes. it is hit-or-miss and a lot of muffin-top sexiness.

i don't think that is the norm. my uterus wasn't even contracted enough to think about getting into my pants to wear home from the hospital.

sbryant021408 · November 2009

I feel the same way. WW would not help me. I have no stomach. I gained all my extra weight in my Arse. The only way it's coming off is running and no jogging strollers can be used til like 6 effin' months.

I feel your frustration.

Lins610 · November 2009

I wasn't in my pre-preg clothes at one month post partum...it'll happen for you sooner than you think.

AMYfromKY · November 2009

I went and bought a pair of jeans in a size larger than my pre-preg size. I also bought a few shirts one size up, but now they are too big so I'm going to try and shrink them.

Are you close to your pre-preg weight. I'm only .6 pounds away, but my body is totally different! I don't think I'll ever fit into my pre-preg jeans again.

kle+spd · November 2009

Um no! I'm with you too! I was also super depressed when I read that post too!! I have a ways to go too! I started the 30 day shred today and it was so fard! ugh!

christin3580 · November 2009

Your beautiful.... dont be so hardon yourself.....

Im not in the same boat... but i wont gloat about it... becuase stuff definatly shifted... hello 30 day shred

hsm · November 2009

I am totally with you! I saw that post too and it depressed me! I have a very long way to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and even farther to go to get back to my ideal weight!

I just keep reminding myself how worth it LO is when I think about my weight!

kristeljade · November 2009

You are not alone! Other than eating healthy, I'm not even trying to lose the last 20 lbs. I don't plan on trying until after Christmas either. I'm still EPing, and DH loves my ass so I'm really not too worried about it now. I just wish I had more clothes to wear.

Allioop1013 · November 2009

I was just telling DH that I think I'm the only one in the world who is this far along pp and still has a huge preg looking belly with belly button sticking out and all. So depressing...

FWIW, I had a CS and sometimes I wonder how it would have been had I delivered vaginally.

LOL. Well I'm past that point, so obviously that's not the case for me

chucknorris11 · November 2009

I dont think mine will ever fit again...

Mbitner · November 2009

I know I am floating back and forth from 0-3 and 3-6 board. But, I am still not back in my pre-preg clothes! Not by a long shot! You are not the only one. I may be one of the only ones on the 3-6 board....but just cant seem to loose it!

dette7820 · November 2009

I promise I am in the same boat! I tried my pre-preg clothes on the other day.. I can button/zip 3 pairs of pants but due to my muffin top there is NO way in GODS paradise that I could possible wear, let alone be able to breath normally in them..

I can't wait until the ok to go to the gym!!

smilelari · November 2009

I'm at least 20 lbs away

devoleigh · November 2009

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Those posts made me depressed

sunfan30 · November 2009

I agree completely! I am so not in my pre-pregnancy clothes...that post made me so down...i got up and went to yoga today and already took an hour walk! i guess it motivated me, in a way too. I still have about 15 lbs to go and I am even breastfeeding. But I gained a lot...due to the CRAP that i ate while preg.I've been wearing work out pants....thinking it will help me get motivated sometime throughout the day. But mostly they are just more comfy since i hold my baby all day and nap! Just remember to enjoy this time and do the best you can.

emmared1986 · November 2009

Not even close. I chose to ignore all those people on the gloat post. I was a beautiful size 6 pre preg and now they wont even go past my thighs. My belly has shrunken but my thighs and butt are still huge. Thats where I always gain weight. I can get into a size 12 jeans now, but the waist is too big.I had to wear maternity pants today. Ugh

Pennylane824 · November 2009

Umm, yeah I'm almost 2 months pp and still in maternity pants. I'm in my pre-preg shirts but thats it. I should point out that I only have two pairs of maternity jeans and that is it because it was summer so I'm in yoga pants if I'm not out of the house.

PurplePeep · November 2009

I'm in pre-preg shirts but definitely not pants or skirts. I live in my maternity jeans. I'm getting on the WW wagon too.

Daisy525 · November 2009

My pre-pregnancy pants won't even come up past my thighs! It depresses me daily. I bought some new jeans and hate them b/c A) the size is an unGodly number and B)they are loose and I constantly have to pull them up but the size smaller is well to small!!! I may have to move into a gym in order to see my pre-preg. body every again.

JennifernKevin4ever · November 2009

I am not in in my pregnancy clothes anymore but some of my clothes are still a little tight on me.

MadameFancyPants · November 2009

The only pre-preg things that fit me are my socks!

MrsPatterson · November 2009

I am so far away from my pre-pg clothes that it makes me want to cry. I went to the mall the other day to try to find some non-maternity jeans that I could wear in the meantime, and I couldn't even fit into jeans that were 2 sizes up from my pre-pg size. I almost had an emotional break-down in the fitting room. And I'm not even helping myself get to pre-pg clothes because I am still eating like I'm in 3rd tri.

Twistedpixie7@aol.com · November 2009

Im wearing my jeans that were pre-pg but a size bigger then I was wearing when I got pregnant. I had lost a bunch of weight before I got pg. I was having to wear them with a girdle, now I can wear them without and dont really have a muffin top. I tried on the size lower that I was wearing pre-pg and there is a lot of muffin topness going on. I just started WW, lost 3.6lbs last week, and I went back to the gym last week. Its going to take time but I am determined by her first b-day to be way under my pre-pg weight!!

rinny627 · November 2009

oh heck no! I'm nowhere near it either. I can fit into some pre pregnancy tops... and like 2 pre pregnancy pants because they're sweatpants. Lol

You can use the BOB revolution even when they are newborn. You just have to get the car seat adapter. DH and I have been running with our LO since he got here.

I don't have this yet, but I am planning on getting it soon. It says 2 months and up

juliane2004 · November 2009

Although I only gained 18 lbs in pregnancy, and dropped 36 lbs of it after giving birth (yes I was 18 lbs lighter than when I started) - I have LOTS of flabby skin, so no I am definitely not in my pre-preg jeans. Maternity clothes are a must for me still.

ryry1977 · November 2009

I am no way in my pre-pregnancy clothes:( I wish. My pants won't even go over my thighs:( Let alone button. It is sad.

SusieQ1982 · November 2009

I'm still styling my maternity clothes Stick out tongue

LeahBeah1212 · November 2009

No way. I gained 50 lbs. I've lost about 35 but I had to buy a size up from my regular size for work pants. The main issue is my tummy and thighs.

Seems like all pants either sit too low exposing the muffin top, or too high a la Urkel pants.

angie05161 · November 2009

I decided today was a good day to depress myself so I tried on my pre-preg jeans. I got them over my hips, but there was no prayer of buttoning them. I'd say I have about 10 lbs before that would happen. I've lost 35 lbs to date, but I still have about 20 lbs to go. I gained WAY too much weight.

HLF2005 · November 2009

I can wear pp tops but not any of my pants : ( I was sick of wearing my pregnancy pants so I went out and bought some new jeans this weekend... the new size I had to buy was so disappointing!

THIS!

mariannerules · November 2009

Not really, some of my tops fit and I do fit into my fat jeans. I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

mb~zf · November 2009

Hell no. I've lost 30+ since having her but that was all water from the hypertension. I've still got 30 to go before I'll be pre baby weight. And another 20 to go before pre TTC weight.

This is my problem - Im still up 25 lbs from my pre preg weight though. It must be all in the new muffin top - now I see why "mom jeans" exist - they hold the muffin top in. I am DETERMINED to get rid of it though!
