I normally have a lot of trouble with my weight, but I lost everything but 5 lbs in the first month (I think because of the breastfeeding and low appetite). So weight wise, I would say I bounced back pretty well, but the bounce back overall was very, very slow. I dealt with incontinence and hemorrhoids and all kinds of horrible issues for a long, long time. I would say that at the 1 year mark, I was back in total working order... some things are slightly different (like my preferred sexual position! weird!) and your body is never really the same, just different.

of course, everyone's experience is different I know moms who felt totally back to normal (and fit back into their old clothes) after 3 months!

I had a c-section and my middle is still a little flabby and I gained some weight in my thighs so my pants and jeans don't fit, granted it's only been about 3 months. Other than that I lost almost all of the weight in the first 8-10 weeks without doing much.

I gained about 45 pounds, and 4 months later I have about 5-10 left to go. Although I now carry my weight a little differently. Other thanthe weight, I felt back to my old self within a few weeks!

I gained 40-45 and still have 15-20 to lose at almost 6 mos p/p. Unfortunately, I have been eating sugar like it's my job and generally pretending like I'm still pregnant, so I only have myself to blame.

I am 3 months PP and I have about 5 more lbs to lose to get back to pre pregnancy weight. However I had put on about 10 lbs prior to getting pregnant I want to lose as well. I would definitely say my body has changed though. I don't ever remember feeling this yucky about my body (I had lost almost 40lbs prior to my wedding) so I had been this heavy before, but I always felt more toned than I am now. I started the Insanity program, and am hoping it helps my body bounce back. 2 weeks into it I am down 4lbs, and about 8inches overall.
