I had my son 3 years ago and during my pregnancy I gained close to sixty pounds. YIKES!! I lost it all however. I breastfed and the first 25 - 30 I lost within 3 - 4 mos. After that the rate slowed down, but with diet and exercise on his first birthday I was wearing my old jeans again!! I didn't diet per se, but I make healthy choices about what goes in my mouth. I do eat sweets occasionally, but getting that baby in a backpack carrier and heading for the hills for some good hiking helped a lot too. The first half was easy, the second took a little more determination. Make the decision you are going to lose it and you will.

Best Wishes Theresa
