How long to get back into shape??

[Juzza]

Took me 11 months to get my weight back to 9'4 and back into old clothes but i didn't breastfeed, did no exercise and didn't diet. I'm not a fan of the gym or starving so this was the best option for me - it did start falling off when i went back to work at 6months though. And now i'm piling it all back on!

They say it takes 9 months to put on the weight so it'll take at least 9 months for it to come off

About four months with the first two and I'm on course for that again. Mind you, the weight might go off, but the shape has changed forever!

I had put on about a stone and a half after I gave birth. In five months I have only managed to lose half a stone so I have a stone to go until I get back to my pre baby weight. I went up one size in clothes but I can nearly get back in to my original size clothes now. They say that it takes nine months to grow a baby so give it the same amount of time to get the weight off. You might be one of the lucky ones and lose it instantly or within the first month like a couple of people I know who were small originally. I have actually lost the half a stone in the last two weeks as I returned to work so I am doing more exercise now. The main thing I hate is my belly as it is really wobbly (and saggy) now and full of stretch marks which hopefully you won't get.

i think i put on 5-6 stone im still 1 stone heavier than i was 12 months on

I've lost a stone and have another to go but haven't really been making much effort as am feeling pretty good.

 

It took me 2 weeks to get back to my original weight before I got pregnant but I was in size 12 throughout my pregnancy. I didn't go to the gym or even exercise, I did breastfeed though so maybe that helped

I was 10 1/2 stone and a size 10/12 before getting pregnant. I weighed about 13 1/2 stone at 33 weeks and didn't weigh myself again after that. Austin is nearly a month old, I weighed myself yesterday for the first time since he was born and am now 11st 11lb and a size 14. I'm walking every day and trying to eat healthily but as I'm breastfeeding I'm not dieting or excercising too hard.

9 months on = 9 months off!!

[rusks]

this is quite reassuring the weight isn't coming off me at all and i been walking and jogging on the treadmill and doing 100% more excercise than i ever did before!!

No I am just about there but it has been alot of hard work!
