Losing Weight After Pregnancy



     It’s been almost a year since I gave birth to my daughter and here I am still on the process of getting rid the extra pounds I packed during my pregnancy.  I was just  112 lbs before I got pregnant and a month after I gave birth I was  127 lbs.  And now my little one will be turning 1 in a month but still I have not yet gotten back my pre-pregnancy weight.  Don’t ask me if I did dieting and exercising, because I already cut off pork, fried food and chips.  And lugging around a baby all day is itself a workout for me already. Oh well, I lost 6 lbs by the way  from 127 I am now 121 though that means I still have 9 lbs to discard.

    I know losing weight after pregnancy is a plodding process unless of course you will get a magical “zap” from a cosmetic surgeon.  But I trust that there are moms who don’t have to go through the “ordeal” of a no-carb diet and unyielding exercises to get back that voluptuous body in a matter of 4 months or so after giving birth.  I’ve seen this with at least 2 of my friends and their common denominator? they’re still in their early 20s when they gave birth and one more thing, their originally slender.. lol.  

    So I guess my age and my body type are the main contributing factors why it took me so long to lose weight.

Don’t you think so?
