I know--I'm a freak! 
I can't help it. I'm actually the biggest women in my family. Crazy. I thought I wrote about Ryan's birth in another forum. Sorry. Here goes:
Tuesday, 21 April: Worked a full day and trained two clients that night.
10 pm: Last bathroom stop and felt a little "pop" once I got into bed.
10:15 pm: Called the hospital and went to have everything checked.
11pm: 1/2 cm dialated, 100% effaced.
Wednesday, 22 April:
3am: 1/2 cm dilated, 100% effaced. Given analgesic for pain.
6:30 am: woke. Still no progress.
9am: 2cm dilated, 100% effaced. Given another analgesic for pain. Told would have to enduce and given epidural
12pm: told DH to go home and get some sleep. 2cm dilated, 100% effaced.
3pm: Given epidural. Still no progress.
3:50 pm: Given oxytocin.
4:20 pm: 4cm dilated. 100% effaced
4:30 pm: Told DH to get to hospital
4:40 pm: 10cm dilated. 100% effaced.
4:50 pm: into delivery room
5:20 pm: started pushing. Pushed 8 times total.
5:52 pm: Ryan's born! Yeah!

I think that too many women are looking at photos of all of these famous actresses and models losing baby weight instantaneously and getting discouraged. These women are paid to look like they do and have personal trainers, chefs, very expensive and flattering clothing, etc. We would all look that great if we were in the same situation.
If you are as active as you are medically allowed to be and disciplined while pregnant, and as much as you can postpartum...it will still take time. Sometimes women go back to normal seemingly instantaneously, but it's very infrequent. Certainly, I don't think that pregnancy is an excuse to eat whatever you want, and I don't think that women should just give up and figure that all moms are fat...but we need to give ourselves a break. Our self-worth should not be inversely proportional to the size of our jeans.
