Getting rid of the kangaroo pouch...

in May 2012 Moms

I'm only 5 lbs away from my pre-preggo weight and since I was a tad over weight going into the pregnancy, I want to loss another 10ish on top of that.  I feel like the weight is melting off, thank you breastfeeding!, but this kangaroo pouch of floppy skin is is plaguing me.  I know I am only 2.5 weeks pp but I'm looking towards the future!  How do you plan (or how did you with your first LO) to get rid of the pouch?

    Try wearing some kind of tight compression garment like a belly bandit or something.  I didnt wear one last time, but i already have one for this time after i read how many people say they work. :)

    Time, every time I lost the pouch around six months and it got better over time with some exercise and healthy eating.

    I lost 25 lbs my first 2 weeks, not BFing, and I have not lost anything since then.  But, each week my flab is getting tighter and tighter over my c/s incision.  I still have my pre-pregnancy weight I would like to lose once I am cleared to work out.  But things are much firmer than they were 2 weeks ago.

    I'm doing weight watchers and walking 1 mile in the morning and 1 mile in the evening.  Once I get the go ahead next week at my 6 wk pp appt, I'm going to start doing the 30 day shred. 

    I'm 3 lbs from pre-preg weight and have the pouch as well.  I put on about 10 lbs last summer prior to getting pregnant so I want to loose that too.  Hopefully doing more excercise will work.

    I was doing yoga 6 days a week before getting pregnant, and plan to go back to that schedule eventually.  Plus running on the treadmill a few days a week. 

    I'm not rushing it... probably it will take 1-2 years to get my old tummy back.  But it did happen after DD1, so I have faith it will happen again.

    I am so jealous of how many of you are back to your PP weight! I was fairly thin, 124 pounds, although I put on 9 pounds while TTC for 20 months, and I want to get back to my 115 weight. At this point though, I am stuck on 125 even though I am breastfeeding :(

    I was a single mom with my DD so between working, taking care of DD, and not having a lot of time to eat junk it melted off.

    Now this time I know I will have to work at it harder.  I got the clear from my OB to exercise today at my 6 week pp appt.  I am going to start with walking with the baby in the stroller and then hopefully move up to running to help get the extra weight off.  I would like to join a gym but I really don't know if I will have time between work and my 2 kids.
