I have had 3 kids, the 1st pregnancy I put on 6st, which was so stupid. I used pregnancy as excuse to not exercise, eat loads of takeaway food and I paid the price. The next 2 pregnancies I put on 3st each time, but still ate loads but not the rediculous amounts I ate the 1st time. You loose quite alot of it immediately but generally have to work a bit harder to get the rest off. I wish I had known about lighter life earlier, I've lived with over weight for years and you know that it doesn't have to be that way. You already have the key to post baby weight loss!! I think that my friend put on about the same as me at 3 st. Take care and good luck in getting up the duff!
