Back in your pre-pregnancy clothes?

Ok.....It's only been about 4 weeks for me but I can wear most of my old shirts again...I don't have much of a tummy really but the boobs kinda fill up a lot of my shirts too.
I did the worst thing the other day though...I tried on my regular jeans. Oh man! They can go up but there's no way they can be done up...some of them can but it's not looking pretty! LOL

Before pregnancy I was regularly about 150lbs and I'm 5'7. It was a comfortable weight for me...always wanted to lose more but I was stable at that weight for a long time.
While pregnant I got up to about 187 and currently 4 weeks after Brady was born I'm down to exactly 160.
How long does it take to loose it? All the other weight came off naturally so I hope I don't have to work too too hard to get this last 10 pounds off. I'm breastfeeding so I heard you loose it easier and if you don't loose it within the first 6 months then you more than likely will never loose it or it will be really difficult.

AHH...I just wanna wear my jeans!! LOL I have so many great pairs and long to wear them again!! Who's with me?

Oh, I'm so there with you on the jeans. I had a c-section so it hurts when I wear jeans. I had my daughter almost  weeks ago so I really need to work on my weight. We are actually going on vacation for x-mas so I really hope I get back down to my weight so I don't have to go out and buy new jeans. I still need about 5 lbs. to go. You should try wearing shapeware suits. They have those like at Macy's or JCPenny. You can wear them under your jeans and it will prevent the bulge. When I wear those my jeans actually go up and button without having the bulge out there.

at 4 weeks I officially packed up all my maternity clothing, it made me SO happy :)  Most of my shirts are designed for a somewhat larger chest anyway because I was big up there.  I also made it to my pre-pregnancy weight by 3 weeks post pregnancy (I only gained 15 lb).  I do fit my pre-pregnancy pants but they look funny, because I lost some fat around my body during the pregnancy my pants are too big in the legs, but the waist is just perfect.  I'm now 6 weeks post and still have the little belly, I'm going to start Yoga and some other things to work on those ab mussels :)  From what I remember from my first pregnancy it took a long time to get the belly mussels back to normal.

Both. It depends on your body. I saw some really good ones on Amazon.com.

Does it take about that long for your hips to go back or is it possible that they just never go back? Where can you get these adjusters?

I'm at 7 weeks post baby and I pretty much fit into everything again except my skinny jeans. I know what you mean about buttoning your jeans and it not being pretty. I think its because out hips get pushed out during pregnancy. There are after birth hip adjusters you can wear that will help. I've been thinking about getting one.
