I guess I just want to know if I'm doing well...or if by 6 months I should be alot thinner. I feel huge.
I've lost 44 lbs. since July 6, and still losing. I'm in a size 8 jean, but mostly average a size 10 in suits, and dresses. My weight is mostly in my chest, and butt. I'm a 36D, and have a 33 inch waist, and 41" hips. Is this bad? My husband is obviously not going to tell me I'm fat or huge so I want to hear it. Tell me the truth.

Congratulations on the new bundle of joy!!
You are doing just fine dear...And hun you just had a baby it will take some time for your body to get back to normal. You see your organs some of them had to move around and what not in order to make room for the little angel growing inside you. That took 9 months of moving around.
Your boobs will go down in due time, but I'm sure your husband enjoys looking at them most do! So don't worry about those give it another few more months.
Your measurements are just fine considering you've had a baby.. Don't worry dear your on the right road continue to eat healthy do some exercises if permitted by your obgyn and drink plenty of water.
If your not a water drinker try Tropicana Fruit Squeeze Summer Lemon drink ( its a fruit juice water) Also if your eating a lot of salt or use salt.. cut back or completly out if you can live without salt. Eat baked foods not fried and try yourself some sugar-free jello for a snack or popcicles (sugar-free)
Keep up the good work new mommie!!

You don't sound huge by any means.
I'm a little impressed by your magnificent curves, though! There is junk in that trunk! Ow ow!! :)
155 lbs is probably a little heavier than a woman who is only 5'2" should be... but not by too much, and it sounds like you are working on it... so, just keep eating very sensibly and exercising and I'm sure you'll get more comfortable with your body.
I'm sure you look wonderful, though!!

No you are not huge, your husband probably likes the boobs. Keep working at it remember it took 9 months to get it on. It will take some time but you will need to lose it as you are 5'2".
Try weight lifting with the exercise and dieting and you will see the difference, pilates is good too.

You sound absolutely scrumptious to me! That is exactly the kind of figure that I go for. Size 8-10? Perfect!
Good luck losing more if that's what's going to make you feel better about yourself. That's what's REALLY important here!

give yourself a slap and smell the roses! YOU ARE NOT FAT! i know how you feel though ive had 2 babies and it makes you feel fat and horrible, but i woke up one day and decided to stop being so sellfish about what i looked like and concentrated on my son, being a mother doesnt mean you have to be skinny and gorgeous, you baby doesnt care, they love you regardless. as for your hubby he loves you the person not what you look like. if you asked him he would tell you that himself. its about gaining your confidence again after being pregnant. give yourself time, throw yourself into being the best mum and you'll find the rest will follow, you'll be happy with what size you are and in 6months time you'll feel better about everything. trust me ive been there twice now.

the normal weight for our height (5'2") is 125-130ish. So if you are losing weight then be happy. 155 isn't so bad though either. its when you get higher than 160 and up.

Don't worry about whether you're fat or not. You just had a baby, so it's expected. What you should do now is eat as healthy as possible and your fat levels will take care of itself.

I think you're doing great! Keep up the good work. Losing weight takes time, we don't put it on in a week and we can't take it off in a week. good luck!!
