My little one is now 3 months. i do EBF him. the first 2 months i saw the weight dropping. my appetite is very high and my energy seems very low. I still have a baby bump. It's embarrassing when people approach me asking how far along I am. Sometimes I want to cry,sometimes I want to lie a make up a due date : I wanted some advice to lose this round center of mine! Please It's taking a toll on me.

    I always find joy in my day, but lately I'm so down on myself because of my weight. I don't want this problem to consume me and my life.

    It takes time, but in the mean time, I had a lot of success with a good quality girdle. I bought this one off amazon for this baby, but used a much cheaper and far more uncomfortable one for my DD.

    it does take time.  i don't think i felt good about myself until the 1 year bday party.  if you commit yourself to changing it thru exercise and eating right you will succeed

    Ugh, I hate posts like this, because I just want to tell society and everyone, YOU ARE FINE. You just had a baby, your body has gone through a tremendous amount of stress, give it time! If you are eating healthy and slowing easing into exercise, you will lose the weight. It takes time for your hips/belly/entire middle area to find it's way back. Also, please remember, you are a mother now. Your body may never look the same as it did pre-baby, but you have a BABY to show for it! I feel for you, because I have had two kids, and I know it can get stressful to lose weight, I'm still going through it from my second pregnancy, and my baby is 10 months old. But don't get down on yourself. You have a 3 month old! That is literally no time all. And don't read celeb magazines, or look at pics of celebs. They are paid to work off that weight in 3 months, with 6-hour per day every day workouts, nannies, trainers, and chefs! Good luck Mama!

    I feel your pain!  as I am sure many of us do! I read in some of the PG books that it takes 9 months to put the weight on, it takes 9 months to take it off.

    It takes time to lose the baby weight. I swear I still looked a couple months pg even when DD2 turned 2 (just before I actually got pg again).

    This is why people should never ask a woman if she's pg or when her baby is due.
