I was in a strict diet and worked out very hard 6 days a week. I weighed 130 prepregnancy,and 188 post pregnancy. With hard work and dedication i got down to 125 in 4 months. It is possible. Im prgnant again and have gained 50 lbs already and very anxious to lose it again!

Breastfeeding is of course the fastest way to lose weight. I do believe you have to eat 500+ calories though to keep up with what your baby takes from you but it seems to be the most productive way. :) Also, you lose an average on 10-12 lbs once your have the baby. If you aren't able to breastfeed, the next best thing, when your able to workout is to eat healthy, & excercise. :)

lol its okay. i know weight is always a sensitive subject. especially for women. i used to hit the gym religiously so i have a lot of muscle. when i'd tell people i weighed 145lbs they'd never believe me cuz i was real skinny. but muscle weighs more than fat.
i was on the birth control shot, depo, for my teenage years and i gained weight like crazy, like 30 pounds. so eventually i just stopped eating until i was like 115lbs at 5'5. lol. but now i'm "healthy" haha

i plan on starting immediately. you know you burn 500 calories a day just from breast feeding? i plan on just eating the bare minimum to have enough milk for bubs and as soon as my va jay jay is healed up, i'm hitting the gym....hard lol
