Same for me... One minute I'm so happy about how much I've lost, how loose my maternity jeans are getting... But when I try to fit into my size 2 pre-pregnancy jeans I get all depressed because they won't fit. I've come a long way, lost lots of weight, but I still have a lot of work to do... And my stomach and my boobs are all saggy. Got loads of stretch marks on my ass and my ties

I get sad about the stretch marks and jiggly belly but I'm sure I'll feel better when the stretch marks begin to fade and I can start working out my abs.

Size 2??! I'm hoping that's a typing error for size 12...?

I have the saggy boobs really bad - am even considering cosmetic surgery to give them a lift and fill them out a bit... will wait for my hormones to settle first though before making any HUGE decisions! lol

It's so weird for me - one minute, like you, I'm thinking I've lost loads of weight and my bumps almost completely gone! I'm so happy that my tummy muscles stayed intact (women in my family tend to get torn muscles during child birth / pregnancy, which makes their tummy saggy beyond repair (you can't tone it up and it would need surgery to fix))... but then I look at it again and suddenly I'm so depressed at the stretchmarks and the jelly belly and saggy boobs etc etc...

Everything about me is really up-and-down atm - think I need to let my hormones calm down - I'm begining to feel like I have bipolar disorder!!!

I don't think we have the same sizing in Canada... I think a size 2 in here is a size 6 in the UK

I haven't lost much. I think around 15 lbs in total, but my belly is getting smaller every day and I love my boobs, they are so perky and big! (made a small chested girl very happy....AND her husband too).
Stretchmarks are nasty on the right side of my belly. The rest are very light pink and silver already, which I am happy about.

I weighed myself again today and had lost another 2 lbs since Thursday, so I am happy with the way things are going.

It's gonna take a LONG ass time though to go back to my normal size, and that's what I don't like about this whole thing.

I wish I could take back all the pancakes with Nutella.

Ooooh right okay, that's a bit better lol A size two here would be practically non-existent! I still wouldn't complain about not fitting into size 6 clothes... I can't get 12s over my hips atm Still, I know it would be nice to be the same size we were before pregnancy - it's what we're all aiming for... Good luck!

I know a size 0 is a 4 here, I think a 2 is a size 8........still tiny to me

I will be glad when I can get my old 14s comfortable, I can get into them (only since last week mind) but they don't hang right yet

I'm the same as you, one minute I am glad I have lost and it feels like I am tiny with the bump gone, the next I am freting 'cos I really want to get into my old clothes.

At the mo, I am too small for my maternity stuff and too big for my old clothes. Nightmare. AND I have 2 weddings to go to, really don't wantto spend out on something if I wont wear it in 6 mths time.

Woohoo! Got my size 12s back on finally! Are a bit tight mindyou - might incur bad lovehandles... worth it? I'd say so - if for nothing else but feeling smug (albeit rather uncomfortable) in pants closer to my pre-preggo size!! lol
