Any tips for regaining your beautiful pre-pregnancy figure?

I'm sure all you mothers look great. I'm a mother who looks like I haven't even had a baby and the baby that stole the only small little bit of 'fat' I had on my child like frame, now I don't even have a bottom nor do I even have watermelons anymore, I have deflating plastic golf balls I now call my own breasts. I envy all of you. If only we could body swap with a machine.

Few days later after delivering my child, nobosy thought i just gave birth. I was skinnier than before,just like magic!!! I dont know how but it was like 1 week after.
But I have to admit my whole pregnancy was very very healthy lots of fruit, veggies, water and lots fo naps.
Now I am 7 months pregnant  with my second child and I can't stop eating...its crazy I already gained 27 pounds, and doctors predict that my babys is going to be big.I am very into sweets and desserts and lots of back pain.This pregnancy is very different. I am pretty sure it will take more than a week to lost all this weight.

I am planning to breasfeed him just like a did with my first and lots of water and jogging.

Well I think if you keep a healthy live ,stay away from alcohol,smoking,junk food, and keep exercising you will be ok.

With my first child I gained about 40 pounds.  I had an 8.1 pounds baby boy.  I lost them all and got a bikini shape one year after giving birth.  With my second child i gained also a lot of pounds. This time a 9.6 pound baby.  For a petite frame of only 5'2" that is a pretty huge belly.... It has been a year now since I gave birth... and i still have 7 pounds to loose to be back in size 0.  The summer is approaching and I need so do some more diet and exercises (sit ups) to be ready to use a bikini.   But I do not complain.  The woman body is amazing.  I thought I would never regained my shape, i thought my belly was going to be big or fluffy forever, I thought I was going to have to settle for one piece bathing suits from now on.  But i am getting there.. is just a matter of time, patience and persistence.  It did not happened in one day... two months... or 8 months... but over a year.  But it worked the first time and it is working the second time around too.  I am more than please to see my shape coming back again.   I am glad I did not quit.

I gained 60lbs during pregnancy! but luckily I have lost 45 of it already (it's been 7 weeks).  I haven't done any exercise except I go up the stairs a lot in my house because I keep the diaper station upstairs.  Recently I got a little more energy and walk more often, like maybe once a day, other than that I am still lacking the energy required to do anymore exercise than that.  The only thing I do is breastfeed (via pumping) and low-carbing it.  Check into Atkins, if you can actually do Phase 1 properly (which I haven't quite yet), you will drop weight fast.  If you can't be that strict on carbs (Phase 1 requires <20carbs a day), try to just have less than 60 a day- that's what I do right now.  I plan on jumping down to Phase 1 in a few weeks.  In the meantime I where Spanx when I am trying to flatten things out

I think you hit in on the head when you said "Pre" preg. body. Even those perfect body mommas don't ever look like they used to. Sad to think they could look better, i know :_(

~>Instead of worry about getting back, focus on trying to be as healthy and in shape you can be.
Here are my tips to get healthier:
1. Breastfeed, this not only is better for baby, but it helps you lose weight by burning hundreds of calories a day!
2. Since your baby is about ready or is already eating some food, set a good example and cook natural foods that you can eat and you can puree for baby. ( trust me its cheaper then pre-made and taistes better for baby too) foods that are great are oat meal, fruits,eggs (whites if you can handle that) Veggies, meat that is not fried
3.do baby workouts: stroller walks, play groud play (trust me you get a good sweat if you play right) you can use your baby on your belly or legs to add weight while you do leg lifts and but lifts.
4. plenty of water! For ever caffinated beverage drink 2 glasses of water.

Hope this helps and try not to worry. It took almost a year to get it on it may take at least that to get it off. Once you do, accept and love your new mommy figure, you earned it! ((Hugs))
