By 6 months post-partum I was 10lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight and all my clothes were big. Breastfeeding twins takes a lot of calories and while I was eating my fair share, and still am! its impossible to keep up. I'm at 11 months post-partum now and down 2 sizes and 20lbs from pre-pregnancy (and still breastfeeding). Just for reference I was about a size 8 before pregnancy and am now a 4-6. I think I may keep pumping even after Im done nursing, just to avoid the gym!Two Moms, Two Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265544246727297226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-71243618555717824502010-03-11T23:45:23.416-05:002010-03-11T23:45:23.416-05:00Finally!

You...Finally! I was waiting for those belly shots!<br /><br />You look (and looked) great. I feel like I have to play the "how do I dress now?" game every 7 years or so because my body just changes. It's hard to commit to buying new clothes/sizes when you aren't necessarily where you want to be. I say go out and splurge on a few key fabulous items that fit perfectly now and then check in in a few weeks to see where you're at. I can't BELIEVE you're already within 10 pounds of your pre-baby weight - you're doing great.Ruby at Breathedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113512869394910128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-11479749062766770022010-03-11T22:57:45.492-05:002010-03-11T22:57:45.492-05:00UGH!

I was stuck at just 10 lbs lost forever and have finally shed a few more now that I've been exercising some. I am breastfeeding and back to running 3days/week and I still have 30 lbs to lose. And I'm running a fair amount (not like pre-pregnancy just yet, though) because I am training for a marathon in April. I feel like me in a fat suit but I am ok with it if that is what my body is going to do for breastfeeding. I just wish I had ended up in the final 10 group instead. Oh well! <br /><br />I wear Juicy pants, yoga pants, and some dresses now that it's getting warmer here. Although the dresses are tricky with the bigger boobs and nursing bras. I have no jeans that fit and I'm not buying any since it's about to be super hot here. I am also carrying most of my weight in my thighs which doesn't help my cause in the pants department. I think I'm going to hit up O.ld Na.vy and stock up on cheap dresses and such to get through the summer.<br /><br />Your 6 weeks post partum pic looks great!

I don't know what to wear or what to buy either. I am still wearing one the one pair of maternity jeans that fit. That is ridiculous I can't wear those forever. <br /><br />Gosh your belly was big!Next in Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161821079608326520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-35436028201469306472010-03-11T19:51:55.594-05:002010-03-11T19:51:55.594-05:00I was at my pre-pg weight a week or so post-partum...I was at my pre-pg weight a week or so post-partum. I still don't fit my pre-pg clothes. My butt is finally shrinking, but hips are still super wide and belly super flabby. I alternate between WAY too big maternity stuff, and way too small early pregnancy stuff.

I can't even think about getting into my old jeans but I am holding out hope. I also wear jogging pants, lots of pj bottoms.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835693578901841251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-65745968761330838362010-03-11T14:17:31.931-05:002010-03-11T14:17:31.931-05:00I gained 44lbs during pregnancy.

I'm actively dieting, and that's how I've lost the last almost 10 lbs that hung on after I stopped breastfeeding. I am back in nearly all of my my pre-pregnacy clothes, though the weight has redistributed. I have extra skin around my middle and my thighs are fuller. Suprisingly, my boobs are back to thier pre-pregnancy size( though a bit saggier than before) so I'm in all my old bras.<br /><br />The first 30 lbs came off in about 6 weeks. I was wearing yoga pants and pajama pants during that time, and one pair of drawstring cargo pants. I did cave and buy 1 pair of larger jeans before my old ones fit, and those are now too big but workable with a belt. They were from Old N@vy, so it wasn't too much $. If I were you, I wouldn't buy much, if anything yet. You can borrow stuff from Chicken or other friends. Since you were a 0 before, my guess is if friends have 2's and 4's laying around you could get by until you are ready to shop.<br /><br />BTW, you look fantastic! I love all the belly shots and the last one with you and a baby is beyond beautiful.nutellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661028395569948111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-20568026363560628152010-03-11T14:14:05.086-05:002010-03-11T14:14:05.086-05:00i wore a belly band with pants unzipped underneath...i wore a belly band with pants unzipped underneath. and my shirts i wore before, so long as they did't button up. <br /><br />now, although i weigh less than i did when i was pregnant, most of my prepregnancy pants don't fit. <br /><br />i can't wear jeans anymore and i have to wear girl pants. i never wore girl pants... i don't know if i'll ever be able to get back in some boy jeans that fit properly... it's weird!gigglebluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496718846746524816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-81507726168135219022010-03-11T13:52:41.996-05:002010-03-11T13:52:41.996-05:00I'm back to my pre preggo weight finally but n...I'm back to my pre preggo weight finally but no pants fit the same!<br /><br />For the view months after delivering I wore sweatpants, pj pants, a belly band or Greta's clothesjessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048960064364250283noreply@blogger.com
