Re: Not as hot as before....
Keep the exercise and good eating habits consistent. You only gave birth 2 months ago!!! Don't expect to snap back right away! Gradually your body will go back and you will regain your confidence.
Re: Not as hot as before....
i am in the same boat. gave birth in sept and have just started working again...i feel fat. i cant wear some of my old outfits and have to hide my tummy (thats where the weight went). i am 10 lbs heavier than last time i stripped and boy do i feel it.
hopefully as much as i work out and am watching what i eat the weight will come off.
good luck to you!
Re: Not as hot as before....
You will regain your confidence in time as long as you keep up with eating right and working out. I'm dealing with the same issues right along with you right now, except I haven't returned to work yet. One thing that I noticed after having a baby (I have another child) is that although I did get my figure back, I never looked at my body the same. You are right to be mourning the loss of your old body, but keep in mind that you can get back a great shape even if you don't look exactly like you used to.
Good luck with your return to work, you're going to do great!

Keep on dancing ladies, you will lose it!!! ;)
Re: Not as hot as before....
Pure,
Your very beautiful, and even if yo are carrying an extra few lbs of baby weight, I doubt anyone will notice. I'm sure you will be fine, and the first night you go back and realize that guys still think your hot and buy dances from you, all that confidance will come rushing back.
Good locuk..but I don't think you'll need it. I'm sure you'll kick ass.
Re: Not as hot as before....
Yes! Go easy on yourself! It took nine months for your body to get to where it's at right now. It's going to take some time to get back.
Working and working out both will help and you'll see your old self in no time!
Congrats to all the new mommies by the way! ;D

Ditto ! I'd try Bikram if you want to get back in shape FAST ! Each class burns about 1,000 calories. There are a few studios in Vegas and another one is opening in Henderson.
Re: Not as hot as before....
Yeah - I could have written what what the OP said! I got a disc from a photo shoot I was in a month before I got pregnant. MY GOD the difference isn't pretty. I almost cried because I miss my old body so much.
People are telling me that I'm losing weight but I can't tell.

Thanks Kaylinn :) :) :)
I thought Bikram would be a good idea but since I'm nursing I wondered if all that steam would cause a lot of leakage... I can usually go a good 8 hours before that happens but they say a warm shower causes let down and bikram is pretty close to that.
