Re: PLEASE READ help me!
Hey. I've had two kids. I'm pregnant with our third. I hear ya!
Keep some perspective...many, many women can take up to a year to lose baby weight. It's totally normal. Don't be discouraged.
But honestly, your body will probably never, ever be the same shape as it was before. But you MUST remember, you brought a little life into the world to love and care for. That is way more significant than a pants size. You can agonize over it or you can choose to love yourself for it. (I'll tell you a secret: the latter is easier and more fun!).
Also, your stretch marks will fade away over time to white/silver colors. The red/pink will disappear. Consider them "badges of honor."
Mommyhood does stuff to our bodies, there's no doubt. Be patient with yourself and remember that as long as you and your baby are healthy - all is good.
For a product try the Mary Kay Timewise Body Targeted Action Toning Lotion:
