I weigh about 20 pounds less than I did before my most recent pregnancy (my 3rd baby is 5 months old). Despite the weight loss, I look bigger! I can no longer zip up skirts I used to be able to wear when I was 20 pounds heavier. What is up with that??? Is it just that my tummy is more stretched out this time? I do have a belly now, but I'd think it would at least even out considering the weight loss. Has this happened to anyone else? In case it helps to visualize, I used to weigh around 145, and now weigh 125 at 5'4" tall.

I think it just comes down to age and pregnancies changing our shape - I weigh more but take a smaller skirt size and I don't get that one either
