My LO is 18 weeks and I'm at my pre pregnancy weight, but it seems to have distributed itself differently. I need to work on my tummy!

I'm 19 wks out and am at my pp weight but my hips seem wider and tummy is definitely softer. That being said, I'm surprised that I'm as okay with my body as I am. I think it helps that I haven't needed to go shopping for new clothes or get dressed up since I'm At home with Lo.

@hilsy85: I am also much more forgiving of my body after baby. I always had a bit of a tummy, but it doesn't really bother me as much as it used to.

@hilsy85: most def! I didn't have to buy new work clothes and fit in my prepreg jeans. I think if I was still in yoga pants and leggings I might be a bit more dissatisfied than I am currently.

I could definitely stand to lose weight and eat better. With breastfeeding and pumping, every day feels like running a marathon with my crazy intake of calories. In the past week or so, I've noticed that I'm slimming down a bit. I'm really not going to worry about weight loss until he's weaned and not dependent on me for milk.

I was at my pre-preg weight by when I left the hospital, so that was okay with me. I'm nearly 10 weeks PP, and still have a belly, but I had one before as well.

At 9mo pp I'm happy with everything except my belly. I've never been super skinny or in shape, but I never had a pooch under my belly button before. Now, even though I'm under my prepreg weight I have this foldover of skin that looks weird under some of my pants/skirts. I'm waiting until I wean at a year to really attack it though. Hopefully with some toning I can shrink it down some.

I'm 9 months PP and feel pretty good - I've worked hard but feel like nothing has changed since fall. I'm hoping that after I stop breastfeeding I will be able to tone up better. I didnt have weight/body image issues before pregnancy so this struggle is new to me but DH is very supportive and makes me feel beautiful regardless and that helps

@kiddosc: My belly and belly button look and feel different postpartum. I've always had a belly, but it seems different from pre-pregnancy.

I'm pretty happy. I have the loose belly skin but I've lost all of my baby weight and I haven't worked out. That's a win for me.

8mo PP and I am really happy. I have lost the baby weight plus an additional 20lbs so I am back to where I was when we got married. The belly area is my one 'eh' I'm hoping that once I start running/toning again it will be better.

Ha still waiting! 16 weeks pp and still have 16lb to lose but considering I packed on about 60lb when preg I can't complain. I can't WAIT to get my figure back/wear jeans again!

I am. I definitely am more forgiving of my body than I used to be. I am slightly under pre preg weight but I have a pooch that I am not sure will go away until I can stop breastfeeding and limit my caloric intake.
