Okay, I'll admit it: I'm a big fan of Angelina Jolie. I just know we'd be great friends. After all, she loves babies and so do I. Angie's been flying under the radar ever since the birth of her twins and I've been wondering what's up. But this weekend she finally hit the town looking as gorgeous as
ever (check out babyrazzi.com for more photos and the whole story) and her twins aren't quite 3-months-old yet. Sigh. I still don't
feel ready to "go public" and my baby is 9-months-old. How soon after
you had your baby (or babies) did you feel like your pre-pregnancy
gorgeous self?

She looks GREAT!! I am so jealous of all these celebrity mommies that are right back at their pre-pregnancy body days after having their babies grrrrrr!!!!....lol
It took me 12 full months after having twins to look myself and feel comfortable again. Then I went and got pregnant. Now it's 13 months after Baby, and good grief do I need to get to the gym. I could use Angelina's trainers, for sure.
The truth i could care less! I had my second a lil girl almost 9 months ago, no its not flat. I give myself 12 months for it to naturally fall off then i will decide if i feel like exercising. I have a 3 yr old to chase after too so exercising is that last thing i feel like doind.
I had gained weight before I got pregnant--so the pregnancy was a good excuse for the extra weight!! LOL Angelina (along with lots of other celebrity moms) looks great, but I suppose we all would if we could afford personal trainers, delivered meals, etc.
I had finally gotten somewhat back into shape just before I got pregnant this time. Hoping to rebound a little quicker this time!
First of all...wow! She just looks AMAZING!!! As for myself....less than. The long and short of my story is I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was almost five months. I know it sounds crazy, and everyone thinks I'm an idiot when they first hear that...but I'm not. I know about the birds and the bees...I menstruated the whole time...and my point is...I lost almost 30 pounds in my first four months of pregnancy!! Ridiculous, I know, potentially unhealthy, I know...mind you, I was unaware of the beautiful baby boy incubating in my belly. Anyway, like I said, I lost almost 30 lbs. and at six months, started putting it on. I remember one Dr. visit, I had gained 5 lbs. in one week!!! I was beside myself. By the time I had my precious baby boy, Finn, I was 235 lbs. (when I found out, at five months, I weighed 132lbs.) I realize I lost a lot of weight...but I gained over 100 POUNDS!!! My son was born two weeks late, after being induced...he weighed 9lb. 9.2 oz...my weight went down to about 183 two weeks later. I am currently finding myself nearing 200 again!! I'm eating lean cuisines for lunch, a home cooked, sensible dinner...and if I'm conscious for breakfast, normally a bowl of Kashi Go Lean crunch or turkey bacon and ligh multi grain English muffins...I'm at a loss...also, I know my activity levels seriously dropped, so I've been walking with him, about a mile every day....what the F***!!!!! Can anyone tell me what the F I'm doing wrong??!?!?! I seem to be gaining...and certainly not losing any weight or width!!!
Love Angela Jolie!...she has the hollywood money and the secret to being fit for the red carpet shortly after giving birth.
O.K moms some women get mad at me,I have been called a "B#$^*" because I had a flatter tummy and no stretch marks.I was normally labeled "Bounce Back body",I have seen some amazing things happen with my body after birth,yes there was a few times my tummy was flat not even 3 months after birth. I had no exercise or special diets,I have always breast fed thou.One time I was disgustingly skinny,I didn't like it not one bit cause my jeans was falling off my behind. I am like thankful for not keeping fat but it is fine in the right places like tummies but leave my butt back there,hello mommy needs a cushion when sitting.lol.
I hope that I can achieve a flat tummy this time....I'll keep my fingers crossed,I plan on getting into my size 8 jeans before baby is 5 months.
I never wanted to look like I had let my self go,I am dying for a good looking body.Now I Iook terrible but the Diva mommy is waiting to come back!. So moms you don't have to be Angela Jolie to be sexy!
ys she does look great.... it must e nice to have so many people watch your kids for u so u can spend everyday in the gym! It took me about 6 months to lose the 60 lbs that i gained and to get back in my high school clothes. but underneath the clothes, its a totally different story!! haha

um, my daughter is almost 10 months, and i am definitely not back to my pre-preggo gorgeous self! hopefully once i'm done breastfeeding, the rest of this weight will come off! i haven't even looked at a scale since my last doctor visit before my baby was born, but i gather i still have almost 20lbs to lose. *sigh* wish i had angie's body though! she always looks great!
