So in another thread we talked about how long it took to lose our pregnancy weight. Assuming you got back to your pre-pregnancy weight, how has your body changed?
Even though I still have 12lbs to go, I know FOR SURE that my hips are just wider.
Any other changes? I hear things get shifted around...

I've still got 10 pounds to go, but it's only been 10 weeks since birth. My hips spread over an inch, and my thighs are a lot bigger. The rest of me stayed pretty much the same. I just started a workout program, and when I took my measurements and checked them against my "before" from two years ago (at my heaviest) they were almost exactly the same. Though I don't think I'll ever fit back into my pre-preggo jean size, as my hips just seem so wide. I can't pull my old jeans up above my knees! It's horrible for my self-confidence

I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy and surprisingly lost it fairly quickly. I've been back at pre-pregnancy weight since about 8 weeks postpartum but it's now distributed differently. My belly is flabbier, hips are wider, and my legs are more toned (probably from all the walking I did to rehab the injuries sustained during delivery).

I am back in my prepregnancy jeans, they fit the same way, so I don't feel like my hips got any wider. I do have a bit of a jiggle belly and some stretch marks. My boobs are also lower, requiring a new bra and a fitting!

Deflated, saggier boobs for me. I really want to get that taken care of as soon as I know I am done having kids!

Tummy pooch and bigger boobs -- both might get smaller when I finish pumping? I only gained 15 lbs and lost the weight within weeks, but I don't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes like I used to.

I have 20 lb to lose but I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere. I was really too thin before I got pregnant anyway so I don't hate being 20 lbs heavier I've actually gotten a lotta compliments about my weight post baby. Boobs have gotten bigger, belly flabby, I used to have such an awesome innie. Hips are wider, feet have gone up half or a size up depending on the brand. I've got a few expensive pairs I know I'll never be able to squeeze my feet in again.

I'm 6 weeks post delivery and last I checked 2 weeks ago I lost all but 2 of the 35lbs I gained. However I now have "spillage" over certain jeans, a flabby tummy and wider hips. I will be starting the 30 day shred/wii fit once I'm over this cold or whatever I have.

My body is way different! I hold weight differently. My pant size went up about 3 sizes despite being the same or less weight! My wide hips are wider, my legs are bigger, I have back fat stuff... not really even sure what is going on there, I muffin top, my boobs are bigger but saggy My feet actually shrunk after DS, but are now back to regular size!

I am back in my pre pregnancy clothes but a lot of them just don't sit right. My boobs are still ginormous so many of my tops don't fit, show a ridiculous amount of cleavage or just don't quite look right. My shape is slightly different and although my weight is down about 8 pounds from pre pregnancy I have swapped muscle for fat. My LO is 7 months and I am still nursing so my body is holding on to it's fat stores. I am getting back into weight training but it is a work in progress. I probably set myself up for heartache because I was in the best shape of my life before I got pregnant - fit, lean and strong. Those were the days!

I'm a pluz size mama so I assumed I would never lose it. I lost it all, plus 2lbs. Now I gotta work on losing what I was trying to lose before se was born.LOL
My body is the same except for my csection muffin top. Before it was smaller (I'm pear shaped.) Not sure how to fix it though.
Oh forgot the saggy boobs.

Gained 50+ lbs and need to lose 10-15lbs! It's been 8m PP and I've been the same weight for the past 4m's

@EmmeBaby: *high-five* I gained 50+lbs too! I'm down 50 and have 6 to go to get back to my wedding weight. Try Jillian's 30 day shred (20 min workout/day) and chia seeds!
