Post Pregnancy Weight Loss

Have to bragg! As of this morning I'm down 45 lbs since our second baby was born (Oct'07). Yay!

Now, why is it that when I wanted to loose weight before our first son was born, it seemed to fall off so much quicker? Same methods, just more rapid.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just romanticizing past battles with weight?

Congrats on the 45lbs!

It could possibly be that you had more time before your first son was born to concentrate on diet and exercise.  I can imagine you are pretty busy with two children.  :)

congrats! it took me 7 months to get back to my preprego weight :s

congrats at the 45 pounds!!  That's a huge accomplishment!  I'm hoping to trim down after I deliver in July.  I'm trying to keep weight gain to a minimum.  I'm hoping it's all water :)  I know-  keep dreaming!!

You have to be very lucky.  I never lost my weight from the first one.  I gained 50 pounds total from both of my children and I delivered my second in Oct. 07 same as you.  Never lost anything.  I even brest feed.  I want to start watching my calories but I have been told not to do so while breast feeding.
