help after delivery - cant fit clothes

Help.  I was at a perfect weight before I got pregnant.  I gained 40 lbs.  I lost 20 right away and cant lose this other 20.  I am 16 weeks out from delivery and working out all the time.  For some reason the lbs wont budge.  I cant get into any of my clothes and am 2 sizes larger that pre pregnancy - any help any ideas ? thanks

give yourself time, you are still only 4 months out from a major life change of having that baby and your body still is recovering from it!  The first 20 is probably the weight of the baby and a lot of water weight from the pregnancy- that's why it came off so quick.   The rest will come off I'm sure in the next few months!!   I'd give it till about 6-8 months to get it off and it'll take time.   But if you are nursing, that could be a reason why your body is holding onto that weight. 

I am worried about gaining weight with this pg but realize it will take time for it to come off after the baby is here.   I have loved losing all this weight and being in a size 8 jeans.   But just at 7 weeks, I had to start wearing maternity pants... grr!!   Pre op, with both my 2 babies though, I gained 35 with my son and 16 with my daughter.   I lost all the weight and then some (with the 2nd) within 2-3 weeks after I had the baby, just due to nursing and then I had really bad PPD that made me have NO appetite and I had to gag down food.  So we'll see how it goes this time.
