  I only have two, but for me I would say it didn't take long.  I gained 40 pounds during pregnancy and by about 4-5 months pp I was back into my old clothes.  At 7 months pp I was back at my pre preg weight of 115.
  
  I didn't exercise, other than walking with the stroller.
  
  I didn't diet either, other than eating with common sense.  I.E. no big macs, large fries, steaks over 6 oz, and lots of water.
  
  I am now exercising a few times a week at the Y.  I do classes 2-3 times a week for an hour, and then do weights/cardio on my own 1-2 days.
  
  You can lose the weight!  The thing I hear from moms a lot is that they don't have time to exercise or eat healthy.  It is no easier to microwave a pizza than it is to eat a salad or some yogurt.  There are also lots of exercise facilities that have childcare.  The YMCA has been a godsend for us.
  
  ETA: I breastfed and I think that made all the difference in the world!
