Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Okay, I assume that was a serious question. I am about 5-10 lbs. below my pre-pregnancy weight but my body is *not* the same. My rib cage is wider and my body is thinner, but flabbier, overall. I have more cellulite. And we aren't even going to talk about my breasts.

I'm maybe a pound or two away from it but I'm definitely carrying it differently. I lost my butt and some weight in my legs and am carrying extra weight in my belly and boobs.

I'm 15 lb below pre preg weight and still can't wear all my pre preg pants. I think my hips are forever wider and I have a pouchy tummy from my c section. Hopefully things tighten up eventually!

I always had a flat stomach, and now I have a muffin top and a pooch that was never there before. I also have flabby arms...not attractive.

I'm 18 pounds below what I weighed when I got pregnant, but I had gained weight before that so I'm ten pounds below my normal weight. And no, things are definitely not the same. I've always carried extra weight in my middle but it's definitely squishier and pouchier in the lower belly area. Ribs are stil a bit bigger and my breastfeeding boobs are a size up from before. Butt is flatter, arms and legs are thinner. None of my clothes look good and I wear yoga pants every day.
Not sure what will happen when I stop breastfeeding. Figures that the time in my life when my legs look best I'm up and down from the floor all the time an don't want to wear a skirt.

Stomach is softer and hips are definitely wider. I fit in my old pants again but they are definitely tighter on me!

I was just thinking about this the other day because I put on some dresses that I hadn't worn since before my pregnancy and they looked weird on me. I'm pretty much right at pp weight but I think my waist is wider and my tummy isn't flat anymore.

my butt is flatter/my hips are wider, and i have a little bit of a tummy-especially after I eat/ at the end of the day!

I definitely carry more in my tummy and love handles than I used to.

I have more in my tummy for sure. Prior to getting pregnant I had 10 lbs I'd like to lose, I still feel that way but it's in different area now

I do! I'm not as toned (since I haven't had time to work out) and while my stomach is flat it isn't as firm as it was before (need to work out). Other than that, my proportions are the same and everything fits as it did pre-preg.

I have wider hips. Before, I carried my weight in my belly (like I still do...), but didn't have a 'muffin top' to deal with. Now I'm much wider and its tough to avoid over-pants spillage.

After my first, I lost all the weight pretty easily and was back to my pre-preg shape, minus the boobs as I was still BF'ing when I got pregnant again. Everything else went back to normal though, including my flat stomach.
Now, at four months pp with LO 2, I'm still holding onto a bit of extra weight, distributed around my belly and thighs. I'm not giving up yet though - I think it was around 4-5 months pp last time that the weight just fell off and my body shrunk quite quickly. Maybe that will happen again? Or maybe it's a lot of wishful thinking...

I lost all my baby weight but I'm not had PP weight because I've been working out and have packed on lots of muscle! I don't mind.

I lost all mine and then some and my clothes fit weird. My boobs are bigger for nursing, my arms and legs are skinnier and I have a squishy belly.

I'm stiff breast feeding and my breasts are still 2 sizes bigger. My lower belly is bigger, wider and softer. And my butt is flatter :/. Everything fits differently.

I lost it fast and then gained 5 when I went back to work! I definitely carry it in my midsection and chest/arms/back.

Nope. I'm under and I work out a lot and there's still been a shift. Smaller in some ways but not in others. I was telling DH that I will probably have these revelations after every baby

I've lost my preg weight but I have to work MUCH harder to stay toned.

Tummy is super mushy and has a lil pooch still. My hips are also a bit wider. Some of my shorts fit, but they're a lil snug in the hip area.
