If you still have 10+ pounds to lose, come in...

PLEASE tell me I am not the only one. I have 15 pounds to lose as of today. I have to go back to work in 4 weeks and there is no way I will be back in my old wardrobe by then. I gained 40 lbs with both pregnancies and it took me a good 4 months to lose it with my 1st, so I shouldn't be surprised and know it takes time. I am EBF and exercising everyday so I am doing all that I can. But I see all of these posts of girls that lost all of their weight by 2 weeks PP and I want to cry. Who else is still fat with me?
This post is brought to you by a flabby sad woman that has to go to a wedding this weekend in a moo moo because nothing else fits.

Re: If you still have 10+ pounds to lose, come in...
I have 20 to go to pre-preg, then 10 more to goal. I fully expect it to take 6 months or so. I don't know how you are exercising every day!! Both DDs just went down for a nap, and I pray #2 stays that way (always questionable). So I could get on the treadmill, but that really doesn't sound fun at all. Ugh.
Tell me how you are doing it?
I am EBFing also, but that didn't cut it with DD1, and I don't think it will this time either.
As soon as it gets warm enough to have DD2 out, I am going to walk/jog as much as possible. Should be this week!
Reese I MAKE myself get on the elliptical at least 5 times a week. I DVR a bunch of shows and watch one 30 minute show while I exercise. I usually do it while Charleigh is napping and I put Maggie in the bouncy and usually she will sleep while I do it. If not, I wait until after dinner when DH can watch the girls. I am starting the 30 day Shred tonight to see if that can help jump start some extra weight loss. I figure Charleigh can do it with me. She will think it is hilarious
I have about 10 pounds to lose and I'd LOVE to lose another 5 to 10 pounds after that. I'm in pretty decent shape but I feel like I've got a TON of toning to do. And my butt and thighs feel really flabby this time. I'm sorta worried that this extra weight is going to be hard to come off as this was my 3rd baby. Can't wait to get into a good workout routine!
I am right there with you! I still have about 15 pounds to lose as well (gained 40) and was just wondering if I could wear yoga pants when I go back to work in a few weeks. I feel like I'm still very wide, too. I am also EBFing and had to completely cut out dairy, so I'm waiting for those to help me out a little!
And I totally agree with you, the posts about losing weight so fast made me want to cry.
Have you seen my monkey?
I gained around 60 lbs, and am 20-30 lbs away from my pp weight. I am waiting for my 6 week apt (next week) to restart weight watchers (I lost 60 lbs on their plan in 2009), and my exercise routine. I am hoping to get the majority of it off my the summer, but I am not expecting to fit back in to my pre-pregnancy jeans, ever, but we shall see.

I'm still 7 pounds away from my weight when I got pregnant with DD2, 12 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight with DD1, and about 30 pounds over my ideal weight. I am desperate to be able at least to get into my bigger wardrobe I bought after DD1 before I go back to work in 5 weeks.
It'll happen. Hang in there!
