Me too!

I just breastfeed... the weight is melting off. its great!

PS they say that an exclusively nirsing Mommy who is eating only 200 extra calories a day should expect the lose around 1.5 lbs every week.

why do you try wearing a gurtel(sp?) so it can hold you all in while losing weight.

Loose skin usually won't go back unless you have awesome gentics. I have loose skin and tons of extra belly & hip fat from being pregnant and the loose skin, I fear, is here to stay unless I have it sugrically removed.

Gurdles won't help it. Once skin is stretched, it is streched.

my genetics suck :[

even if i exercise and use all those "ab firming" exercises it won't go back??

I also heard to wear a gurdle/corset but that seems uncomfortable. but i wouldn't mind if it meant being skinny again.

Hmmmm I've been pregnant 4 times and it always goes back in about 3 months or so. Ithink it also depends on how you carried and how much you gained.

You're lucky then. It's all about genetics like I said. Some women get huuuuge and look like they did before pregnancy in no time, others aren't so lucky or require lots of extra work to look like they did before.

i have really bad stretch marks and a saggy belly. I see my stomach getting smaller but the skin is still stretched. People who lose alot of weight and can't get rid of the saggy skin get a tummy tuck.. bc theres nothing you can really do about the saggy-ness. its sucks.

try holding ur belly in n holding it so it does not hang i have done that n my belly is flat but the skin is still wrinkley but not that bad try dancing that helps alot like while holding ur belly in try belly dancing o reggaeton
