I'm below my pre-pregnancy weight. I haven't done much to deserve it. I eat a ton of food at work...food table is right outside my cube...two trays of brownies today...ugh. I do run on the weekends and will start running on the weekdays when I get a BOB at the end of the month. I think breastfeeding took most of it off, but it doesn't work for everyone. I know some people who lost a bunch of weight after they stopped breastfeeding. I'm sorry that you struggling. Have you tried an online calorie counter? I've had luck with those in the past...they keep me honest.
I'm back to it, but I think my 50lb pregnancy was majority water weight.

I'm back to my prepregnancy weight..but I'm still 40 pounds from my happy weight a couple years before I got pregnant. I was 110 pounds back in 2009 and now I'm stuck at 160. The weight slowly started to creep up when I started my dental hygiene program. I was about 145 in my wedding picture in my siggy and right before I got pregnant I was 160. Who gains 15 pounds in less than two months? ugh. I alternate between walking on the treadmill, 30 DS video, zumba for wii and a yoga dvd. I've just started to kick it into gear the past couple weeks. I wanted to take it easy before because I was worried about my supply but now that she's 7 months I decided it's time to drop the weight. I told my DH no discussing the next baby until I lose about 30 pounds.

I am 10 lbs under my PP weight but don't look it. I am about 5 lbs from where I was a year before my BFP. I am really hoping that after I finish BFing I can get more "in shape" and lose the extra cup sizes I have gone up. I would love to have my 34DD chest back!!! I haven't been very good about working out but I have tried to be much better about making healthy eating choices 6 days a week!
15lbs away. I started going to the gym 3-4 days a week and J and I are both starting to try and eat healthier. We shall see I guess. I'd love to drop 10lbs by E's birthday in Apr. I could be happy there.
I am down about 60lbs since giving birth and I have 19 to go. I am fine if I get within 5lbs of it. I am breastfeeding and the first 30-35 came off with no work in the first 6 weeks. The rest has not been so easy. I do not plan to gain 80lbs again if I have another child. It's so unhealthy and difficult to lose.
Below it by a few pounds, but still 30lbs away from where I should be. I am doing a modified version of the south beach diet.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I havent weighed myself since my pp check but just did. I dont get how but Ive managed to lose instead of gain. For me its not about weight its about how I look & Im not happy with that right now.

I'm under my PP weight without trying, just genetics, luck and breastfeeding. I do need to work out to tone things up, everything is still flabby especially my stomach and I have a flat Mom-ass now.
I was 160 & a size 10 when I got pregnant. I gained 50 lbs, started WW 4 weeks pp and did it for 11 weeks until my jeans & dress pants started to fit again. Went through the holidays and pretty much eat what I want and I'm 5 lbs below pp weight and a size 8. It feels great! Thank you BF. I am still very unsure what's going to happen when I'm done nursing, so I'm hanging onto my old clothes. I am usually a very active person and don't think I eat very bad, so I'm hoping to stay under 160.

135 lbs before and 135 lbs now. It took about 2-3 months. (I went up to ::gasp:: 198lbs during my pregnancy ... most of this 63lbs was definitely water weght.)
I didn't do much of anything (aside from breastfeed for almost 6 months.) It's like my body knows that I belong at that weight (although I wouldn't mind 125lbs.)
I eat healthy in general, but I never say no to a Boston Cream donut. I also have a few glasses of wine each week. I never work out anymore.
I may be the same weight, but mybody is definitely NOT the same.

I went over 200 because I gained like 80lbs. I also have a Mason - born 7/12.
Yes i have been working really hard at it, I feel like I am toning up nicely. I am fortunate though I have the time to hit the gym, as DH does not start work until 2pm, so he watches the kids so I can get my "me" time in before I am on duty for the long nights....I also found that cooking and eating at home helps so much! Having kids makes you eat at home too
I gained 65lbs with both kids and lost it with both kids, but it takes a lot of hard work for me, as water weight is in my family...
