Am I the only one who didn't "bounce back" immediately??

Question

My daughter is 11 weeks tomorrow and I still have 30lbs to lose. I gained mostly in my butt and thighs and I'm up about 6 pant sizes from the pregnancy. I come here and see all these posts of people who bounced right back I'm so jealous!! Am I the only one who has to work hard to lose even a pound??

Answer

I was a little overweight before I got pregnant because I had several surgeries back to back for fertility issues. Then I was put on bedrest because of being so high risk. Then I had gestational diabetes and had to be put on insulin which made me gain even more. So I had about 90 lbs to lose all told. I'm 3 weeks pp and I'm down 47 lbs but obviously I've still got a good ways to go and I think the initial weight loss from birth and bf'ing is leveling off now. So I'm very ready to get back in the gym so I can actually do something to lose this weight because it sure as heck ain't going anywhere on its own!

Answer

I gained 45 pounds wowing my son. I had 30 left to lose after Christmas (gained some over the holidays) I finally was at prepregnancy weight at 6 months postpartum and not I'm pregnant again. It'll happen eventually
