It took me a year after DS #1 to lose the weight, but I didn't get the "tone" back on the tummy area, it was still a bit wobbly and stretched. My goal this time is to lose the weight in a year again, but include weights (I only did cardio last time) to hopefully fill out the tummy area a bit so it's less "wobbly". But I can't say if this will work or not!
9 months to grow a baby, 12 months to get your figure back (though with every pregnancy your body hangs on to 1-2kg) and 2yrs (some people say 5yrs) for your body to have recovered from the process of pregnancy and birth...phew
c/s can make it a little harder to tone the abdomen again...simply because the major abdo muscles where surgically separated and it takes longer for them to repair and then return to prepregnancy tone.
All over body toning is my tip, as it is not just the abdo muscles, but also the lower back and pelvic floor that all need to regain tone and strenght. Walking, swimming and yoga...and patience...it took me 12 months to lose the pregnancy weight with both my boys, and it only came off when it was ready.
