Well, look at it this way. It took you nine months to put it on-it isn't going to come off very fast. The best regimen, the only regimen is diet and exercise. If you keep this up, you will eventually regain your prepregnant body. I realize it can be very frustrating, but you have to keep in mind where you were and what you went through. If I had to be pregnant, I would likely gain 200 pounds and I would never get rid of it. Females are remarkable in what they endure and accomplish... Lynn
