I just had a baby about a year ago and i figured that i would have lost all the weight by now but i just cant seem to lose those last 15 pounds and tummy is to jiggly i used to weigh 114 before i got prego and not i weigh around 130. i also have stretch marks and i just cant seem to feel good in my own skin even though my fiance likes the way i look alot it just dont matter because i dont like it. really needing words of wisdom on how to feel good about myself again.

Have you a wii? If so go and buy wiifit plus, its brill as it shows you the calories that you loose as well. Its good as you can fit it in when and if you want ot, baby can watch you have fun as well

oh girl. poor you. but don't sad. we all have been experience it. for me, at first it worry me. but my husband calm down me. He said that he still think that i'm still beautiful as always. i know deep down that my husband want to get kid badly. so he doesn't care more about my size. for you corkscrew07, don't get upset about your body now. the key is maintain the menu of your food. take control what you eat. take alot of water and less colesterol food. when your child is 6 month you can start diet. and you will be at your prime in no time.

Don't worry, a few more months and you'll get your figure back. I guess your body is still adjusting. I gave birth eight years ago. After a year, my body was still chubby. I liked it because I was so thin but my body went back to normal. Use some moisturizing lotion to moisturize your skin. Take vitamin E every other day if you want. I guess you shouldn't be that conscious. Just watch your diet, eat more fruits and vegies and less carbohydrates. Goodluck. Happy mylotting.

I know how u feel friend. I lost all my baby weight too and all that was left was jiggly wiggly skin. I am about to buy this product proven to remove stretch marks and the loose skin it's called a body wrap and it was only $25! And they say it works on anyone men and woman alike for as long as 6 months. I'm also going to sell these things!! Don't mistake me. I'm not trying to sell u anything. I'm just saying that's how I used to feel and now when I try this new product it wil take the stretch marks and extra skin. U can do the research urself

I had the same problem as you but you need not to worry because if your fiance says that you look good, believe him. Carrying and giving birth to a child is no walk in the park and men know that! As for the bulging tummy, it really is hard to get rid of that unless you have the money to spend on clinical procedures (which I dont). So, just do exercise and some sit ups and you'll soon be okay. Feel good and feel beautiful because you have done an amazing job and not everyone is capable of doing that!

Your body has done an amazing thing it has carried a child and given birth to a new life! All our bodies change after child birth but some more than others. It's hard when you aren't happy about yourself, before you eat drink a pint of water it will encourage you to eat less, do you exercise? If not then start but by but anything is better than nothing even taking baby for a walk in the Iran, the stretchmarks will fade eventually but will never disappear, but your like a tiger, you've earned your stripes. Hope that helps, don't be too hard on yourself tho IM sure your beautiful inside and out.

I feel the same way after I delivered my firstborn. I was so slim when I was still single. I was able to lose weight after a year, but its still not the same as before. My husband makes me feel beautiful and it works all the time. Now, I just gave birth to our 2nd daughter, and I've gained so much weight, but Im very determined to lose those bulges slowly but surely. I realized that its not just my bigger body that makes me feel less attractive but the thought and consciousness that I now am a mother of two. But, I try to look good and enhance my assets to feel good about myself.
