Well I lied, I have no pics right now, heheh. BUT I am down from my last preggo weight of 148lbs to 114lbs. I lost 34lbs in a little over 3 weeks which aien't too bad! I have the 14lbs to lose (remember I am 5 feet nothing) and I estimate having to actually get off my butt and be fairly active to lose the last 8. I hope to be at my goal weight by six weeks pp, and for my tummy to be more toned. Remember, I was a gym rat before Jack, but since I had the cesarean I am starting a mommy baby yoga workout this week and taking it slow.

I will try and maybe get an actual pic later. One of me and my boy

Here are some pics. Along with the extra skin and fat (no belly flap though, I am happy it is firm still) I still have xtra bloat and some water retention, but man oh man has it gone down. They pumped me with so much fluid in the hospital it took a while to get most of it out, using lots of water pills. You can't really see my belly, but I'm holding Jack so it qualifies as cute to me I am wearing my maternity pants here and they are really bagging, but they are still so comfy



And look, I found a preggo bikini pic I didn't know Dusitn took.

Sounds like your doing well. Make sure to take it easy still---over doing it can cause more long term issues with those tummy muscles (keep them well supported!--there are little bands to help)
i bet you look great!

^That's why I am hoping to get to my goal weight with just baby yoga and breastfeeding.

Hope no one minds me talking about my weight. I know a lot of people drop the baby weight much quicker then I am, and others take longer. But with the PCOS and all it is nice to see I will most likely get down to my healthy weight easily (the weight I was when I conceived) without having to overdue it which I have no intention of doing anytime soon. It will be one less thing to worry about since I don't think I will ever be able to go to the gym like I did pre-Jack

Your doing great I hope you can lose those last pounds quickly and stress free.

You look great preggo, you look great pp, and you looked great before you were preggo. You can't go wrong

[LisanAndy]

I think you look awesome Michelle! The feeling is soooo wonderful after being preggers for 9 months to be able to live normally again LoL.

You're doing great! I never regained my pre-child body. It used to bother me but I'm ok with the "new" me now.

Most breastfeeding women lose the weight like wild fire but there are some (like me) whose body likes to hold on to the last 10-15 lbs for whatever reason.

Yay, the two of you are so cute. You will be back to your usual weight before you even know it. I just love the bikini pic. btw, would you come over here and decorate my nursery for me?!

You have the best diva look on your face in that bikini pic! Your body, being in its "turtle" state prior to pregnancy, will probably be able to revert back to it quickly because I would imagine turtle people's bodies like to have a very set, stable weight point and stay there. Yours happens to be lower than most because you're short and small boned (I am the same, and understand that even 5 pounds can make a huge difference to a small statured person!).

You look amazing, as usual. I'm glad all is going well.

[ShannonMVT]

Both pics look great! I'm glad your body is starting to bounce back. Do you have any stretch marks? I discovered some after Matthew was born on the "underside" of my belly that I couldn't see when I was preggo.

Heck yeah it is! I love getting my body back. I was not the biggest fan of pregnancy as it turned out. It wasn't horrible or anything, but I like being able to see my feet

LOL, sure! So far Jack only spends time in it to get his diaper changed so it is all for show for now. Actually, it looks like a disaster area with baby clothes and cloth diapers (used as burp cloths) strewn about everywhere.

Oh yeah I forgot I am a turtle person!

I do have some stretch marks! I have 2 on an old scar of mine on my belly, and I have some on the front. They don't look too bad though, which surprises me. I think I had them while preggo--I could feel something that felt like stretch marks on the front of my belly even though I couldn't see anything. Now I feel like my torso matches my boobs! LOL

[freesiangel]

Wow! What great progress.

Did you take the pictures down? I can't see them for whatever reason.
