re: 7 week PP belly pics

Quoting angelaaaa:“ Same here! I gained 50 lbs. and I think 40 of that went to my hips and thighs. I do lunges constantly...my ... [snip!] ... constantly...my fiance makes fun of me. If I have to walk to the kitchen...I lunge my way there. It's hilarious/ridiculous.”

LOL me too I will just jump up during a commercial or something and start squating or doing crunches........I am a big retard but any working out is better then none right???

Quoting Penelope's Mommy:“ Alright ladies I am 7 weeks PP and took some new belly pics. I haven't lost anymore weight since about ... [snip!] ... a year to get back to my pre-preg weight but I am overall happy with my PP body. Please excuse the ugly sleepy pants...... ”

I think I am going to be sick!! YOU LOOK GREAT!! I wouldn't even let anyone come near me with a camera after I had my son!! I hope I look better this next time around!!

Aww thank you! I really do think it has a lot to do with genes and my Mom didn't get stretchmarks or gain a lot of weight with her pregnancies. I didn't do anything special but try to eat healthy and I worked until my 39th week on my feet(retail). I did have ice cream and fast food but when I did I ordered what I typically would if I wasn't pregnant. I didn't take that mentality that I was eating for 2......I just ate what I wanted but tried to do it in moderation.....Surprisingly I craved good stuff for the most part like fruit! I loved juicy and crunchy fruit like apples and watermelon!

I did with my son too as far as the fruit. I bet I ate at least 12 apples with in a 5 day period each week. I still gained 50+lbs! I was a COW afterwards!! I am hoping to do much better this time around. I am actually walking and all that good stuff. Food just isn't on the top of my list this time.I never feel hungry!   but i am healthy as can be and so is baby. I am 21wks and have only gained 7lbs so far!! YEAH FOR US!

I gained around 40lbs.....I was heavy before I got pregnant......like the beginning of 2007 I lost about 40lbs......then I was at my lowest weight and got knocked up.......so I think my body was just stretched so it was easier to accomadate the extra weight without stretching and such.....I am now 20lbs from the low weight but if I don't get there so be it.......I am a Mommy now and wouldn't change it for the world.

I don't think the weight you gain has everything to do with it it helps obviously not to gain a ton but I think staying active helps the most!

I hope so because I am trying my VERY best to be a good girl and stay active
