Dads who gained baby weight...

Any other dads out there like me who gained weight with the pregnancy?  I've been having some success at getting myself in gear so I can keep up with my kids, but I was wondering if I am alone in this or if I've got company.

 I've pledged to make 2012 the year that I become a former fat dad.  Any others?

    My husband started to when I was PG because I wanted ice cream, sweets and cheeseburgers all the time but he started runnng and now is back to his normal weight. Running is one of the best ways to drop pounds super quick. He used to be big (about 250 @ 5'10) but he runs all the time to keep it off. He also keeps a pic of himself at his biggest in our closet so he sees that every day as motivation. Good luck!

    Good for you for doing something about it! DH gained about 30-40lbs with each pregnancy. After DD1 he lost that weight quickly by running, biking, using the elliptical etc. He gained it all back when he stopped exercising shortly after DD2 was born. He is thinking about trying to lose that weight but hasn't made any steps towards doing it...yet. Fortunately men seem to lose weight pretty easily with portion control and a little exercise.
