I weighed more before I had any kids than I do now! I'm about 40lb (18kg?) less than I was before I became pregnant with DD1. I think the combination of having to do more running around after the kids, as well as trying to eat more healthy food for their sake and mine made the difference. And for anyone wanting to lose weight, I highly recommend drinking water! It makes the biggest difference for me! However, it does seem that I always end up becoming pregnant shortly after starting a water-drinking campaign. Oh well.
