I weigh less now then before I had my daughter at my 6 week check up I was 10lbs less than my pre pregnancy weight. I only gained 2lbs my whole pregnancy tho. With my son I gained 15lbs and lost 10lbs at my 6 week check up. I didn't do anything after either of them to lose the weight.

I'm one of the unlucky ones. :/ I only gained 10 pounds with my first daughter, after having her, all those pounds are the skin on my abdomen. :( I'm fine everywhere but I have that dreaded pooch.

I put on 37lbs with my son last year. I lost a lot of it during delivery and the weeks following. Then I did next to notjing and went back to my normal diet and was back to my prepregnancy within 8mths. I just wanted to focus on my baby so didn't worry that much about it. This time ive been more careful tho and have only gained 12lbs so far at 32wks so I'm hoping its mostly baby.
