oh yeah!! lol, I've had jobs to do before, and taking care of children all day is by far the hardest and most vigorous workout! I got 20 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight in under 4 months, unfortunately my husband couldn't keep his hands off me and I'm up 20 lbs again... pregnant again... haha

Wow Stephanie! That's really impressive :) My mother used to say the most rigorous workout she got was going up and down the stairs a hundred times a day taking care of us :)

I gained 50 lbs while pregnant with my daughter, I didn't have too much trouble dropping the first 38 lbs because breastfeeding, which I was doing exclusively, (for some reason) made me sick to my stomach, after that, yeah, it was really hard to cut back because I was so used to eating so much to feel full. I eventually got 20 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight because the baby REALLY kept me on my feet, and required a lot of energy as a stay at home mom! I also did the on demand pilates and did the Atkins thing, and lost 15 lbs in like 2 weeks
