Do you think Ill ever get back to pre pregnancy weight?

[elskovs]

I was 48kg when I got pregnant. Im due soon and weigh 75kg. Do you think its likely that Ill ever weigh 48kg again? Truly?

I keep hearing that its the 3rd pregnancy that really ruins your body forever. Plus, Ive just turned 30, which is also supposed to make it harder to lose.

Is this your first?

With my first I actually fell to beneath my pre-pregnancy weight in a few weeks, although that was mainly because I breast fed and DS1 was a skinny greedy little baby when born who quickly grew into a slightly chubby baby. (I didn't diet - luckily never needed to).

With DS2 and 3 I still lost the weight, but not as quickly.

As a mum with 3 DC, I can assure you that the number of children has no impact on weight loss! And my DH will assure you that it has no obvious impact on my body and it definitely isn't ruined !

As to age, well I'm not sure that it has much impact at only 30. Again, my first pregnancy was at 30 and the last at 37, so certainly not an issue with me.

Good luck with your baby.

you can lose the weight! I have to diet unlike GreenShadow but I am on my third child and am forty. I have made great progress by low carbing and am planning to keep to it until I get to my pre pregnancy weight.

Thanks for being so positive. Low carbing huh? Im going to have to pick a diet. To start after Christmas of course

Humphrey what was your pre preg weight and how much do you have left to lose?

I was nine stone before this pregnancy. I have not weighed myself at present as I can find it counter productive to focus too much on the scales at this end of the journey (my baby is only five weeks) but at a rough guess from my clothes I probably weigh about ten and a half now.

I am totally determined to get the weight off, but low carbing for me is a way of life rather than a diet. It seems to be coming off quite quickly since I started two weeks ago.

Good luck - I know it can seem a bit daunting but you can do it.
