And I'm still in pregnancy jeans. When I'm not sucking in, my stomach looks like I'm 5 months pregnant. Is it harder to lose the weight the second time around? I was at a good weight before I got pregnant, and I gained 40 lbs. Not terrible, but not great. I'm still 25 lbs more than where I was before I got pregnant. I started working with a personal trainer three times a week three weeks ago (have lost nothing yet, but I think I'm loosing inches) and I'm in a panic to get back to looking "normal".

I did LA Weight Loss last time, and lost 25 lbs in only 11 weeks. I know that lots of people don't like that plan, but it worked for me. I would love to do it again - but not pay that whopping $1200 again. Does anyone have the "gold plan" that they would be willing to copy for me? Or can anyone share their second baby weight loss secrets? I know it takes time, but I'm getting so depressed looking in the mirror!!!

wow. my baby is 12 weeks old now, my second, and i feel just like you do. i still look 5 months pregnant.i gained 40 pounds. now i weight 161. my goal is 140. are you on myspace? maybe we could be weight loss buddies!

I can relate!! I just had our 2nd 6 weeks ago and still have some weight to drop, I'm in that "in between" stage where my maternity clothes are too big but yet my regular clothes are still too small.

I wish I had some advice but I don't just wanted you to know your not alone!

I have a much harder time after our second pregnancy (third baby, twins 1st time). I am one year into our last baby but still am having trouble....plus hitting thirty and the matabolism...does anyone find it hareder ot lose weight maybe to due to age?? Having more does take more ME time away at first so that may contribute to the weight gain or inability to lose??

It took 9mos to put the weight on, give it a little time to come off.

I'm still in the maternity pants, too! Besides the fact that they're the only thing that fit me right now, they still are quite comfy....lol.

I think I pretty much look the same as before I was pregnant...even though I'm 20 lbs heavier than when I got preggers...I don't know where the weight is (unless it's in my butt and I can't see it). My problem is that my once "firm fat" tummy, is now the consitency of a water bed filled with Jell-o. Instead of one continuous fat roll, I now adorn two inner tubes around my waist. I can't even suck in anymore!

Anyway, my point is that you're not alone...I'm all for doing this together and getting back into skinny jeans (for me, that even means Lane Bryant jeans!)...
