How much did you gain during pregnancy?
50lbs
How close are you to your pre-prego weight? Are you under or over and by how much?
I have FIVE more pounds to lose to get there and even still I think I should lose 5more due to the looser tummy these days. I took some breaks on trying to lose, but started tracking calories again on Jan 1. I WILL be in my old jeans by Valentines day, dammit! 
I only breastfed for 6 weeks.

Re: your weight
I am back to my pre pregnancy weight now and have been for several months. Everything is a litte looser though, I still need to tighten up.
i gained only 15 lbs, lost it within 2 weeks.. BUT i have breastfed from the start, for 8 mos now.
if i hadn't breastfed, i'd be in bad shape. i like to eat. and with baby, don't get much exercise in.
try extra walks with the stroller! throw your bread into the trash! eat steak instead! don't eat between meals! however you decide, you can do it.
i am adding: i still have jiggly spots that i won't be able to work at until the warmer weather arrives, DD is a little older and not needing my boobs all the time, and DH is able to watch her more often.
I am now a few pounds less than my prepregnancy weight. I was thin to begin with so I dont want to lose anymore. I breastfed for about 6 months. It wasn't until I stopped breastfeeding that I lost the last 5 or do pounds back down to my ore pregnancy weight.
I gained 69 lbs.. But that is what bed rest for 10 wks, told to eat salty things because of low bp, and twins (7.3&7.9) will do to ya.
I haven't been weighed lately, but last I checked a few months ago I had only lost 50 some. I was heavy before that from pcos, so I could loose even more. I just have no time, and it is cold here now too =(
47lbs

It depends on the time of day/day of the week. The day after Christmas, I was one pound under my PP weight. But I bounce up and down around 5 pounds throughout the day/week. I'm okay with the number on the scale, and I can fit into most of my old pants, but I want to tone up a little more. It's so hard to find time to exercise though, since I only get one hour with LO after work before bed time, and I use that to cook dinner. And after LO is in bed, I need that last hour to get everything cleaned up and ready for the next day. This time of year, I plan a lot of movement activities with my students so that I can at least stay a little active while at work!
ETA: Micah received 3 different "cars" at Christmas. One is the Step2 car that's stroller-like, and we can easily clear a path that lets us go in circles from the living room, hall, kitchen, dining room and back to the living room. I do a few laps every evening to get a little more exercise in. I also try crawling with the smaller riding toys with LO for even more calorie burning fun time with LO.

How close are you to your pre-prego weight? Are you under or over and by how much? I weigh almost exactly my pre-preg weight but it all looks different. I carry at lot more weight on my tummy then I used to, yet nothing else seems smaller.

I lost about 25 right away but still have 20 to lose. Just started weight watchers on Jan 2. I have had sucess with it in the past so I'm hoping for the same results. I also recruited H b/c he gained just as much weight during my pregnancy.
I gained about 40 during pregnancy.
I am 10 lbs. below my pre prenancy weight. I've worked really, really hard to get where I am now. Breastfeeding didn't work for me, so it was crazy challenging.

My friends and I have been doing this dietbet challenge to keep us motivated, money is a great motivator!

I lost 30 pounds by the time LO was 3 weeks old and the last 10 has been coming off SLOWLY. I'm 2.5 pounds away from pre-prego weight. I started Weight Watchers a week ago, trying to lose the last bit of baby weight and also the 10 pounds I gained when I broke my foot before getting pregnant. We too are thinking about TTC this summer, which makes losing weight depressing.

I'm 5 pounds below pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm a good 50 pounds above my ideal. I've been within 10-15 pounds of this weight for 10 years. I've been overweight since puberty. MIL gave us a Wii for Christmas, so I'm excited about using it to get fit.
