How long will it take me to get back into shape after I give birth? I know weight loss and toning take time, but I literally have no idea how long.

    I am back into running shape, but the rest of my fitness is still not back. I can't lift as much, but it takes time to build back up.

    The weight came off within 3 weeks, with just BFing and going on a couple walks. I only gained 28lbs.

    It's been over a year now and I am pretty close to where I was before. Toning my stomach has been my biggest challenge and I'm still working to

    DS1- gained 29 lbs, lost it in 2 mos, took 3 months to get back into my smallest jeans

    DS2- gained 31, lost it in 4 months but fit into all my clothes much earlier. Then got too skinny between chasing a toddler, caring for a baby and breast feedi

    I'm hoping not long. :-) I think it really depends on your routine while pg. I continued to lift the same amount of weight up until I was 38 weeks. I know I'll have to take the next 6-8 weeks off, so hopefully I won't lose too much strength over that time
