re: post partum bodies

BF burns calories, yes you need to consume more calories to compensate and sure BF makes you more hungry, but it does help lose the weight quicker! i lost all my baby weight with my daughter in the first 2 months and i had gained about 41 total. with my son i gained like 50 and lost it all in 4 months. trust me, it helps.

breast feeding def helps w/ weight loss ..I ate like a pig PP and still weighed less than B4 I got pregnant !!
I'm not going to lie and say that I have a perfect body now ..I do still have some loose skin on my stomach ..but ..it's a work in progress!

i wonder if the loose skin ever goes away? i didn't have it after my daughter because i didn't get as big, but i still have it now almost 15 months PP.

I cant say for sure since this is my first, but my weight dropped a lot the first month and I wasnt working out or really changing my eating

yeah I'm not sure ..i only gained 30 lbs (& I'm 6' ) so I didn't even gain lots ..I'm just going to keep working on it ! 

I'm 5'2 and weigh 106 now
BEFORE pregnancy I looked like this:

and was weighing around 118
Right before I delivered here's what I looked like at 162 pounds.


Is that little baby flap at the bottom ever going to go away?! I walk dogs about 3-4 times a week for 2-4 hours each time. Does anyone have some love handle and lower belly toning exercise advice? Thanks mamas

Quoting SubLowE:“ lol .. i dont see no belly flap”

Haha well thank you! I think it's just extra skin but I'm not sure 'cause it looks gross when I sit down. I shouldn't be complaining that I have extra skin going over my size 0 shorts though I suppose : /

Haha I was so oblivious during my pregnancy, I thought you weren't allowed to exercise at all. So I didn't stretch, run, jump, jiggle a leg or anything for 9 months. I was on bedrest from 26 to 37 weeks though so then I couldn't but still.
And I think I know what you're talking about with the ball? I'll try it tonight and see if I "feel the burn"

i weighed 149 the day i went in to be induced at 39 weeks,
118 lbs 11 days after i had a c-section and now
i weigh 120 lbs...i mean i went from a size 00
a month before i got pregnant to not being able to
fit in anything under a size 9 now, my 00 wont even
fit over my knees now, literally, i had to have a yard sale.
i'm 4'9" and had a 9 lb 2 oz baby so i know why mines
all flabby...haha im short so it stuck with me

Girl you're only 6 months pp and around that time I was still 118 too, maybe yours will just fall off too? I feel for you on being short and tiny with a big ol' baby. I am barely 5'2 and had a 8 lbs 8 oz baby girl.
