Teddi Reveals Why She's Been "Hesitant" to Share Postpartum Updates

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is an open book — particularly when it comes to the realities of life after giving birth to her third baby, Dove. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fitness pro has shared the highs of baby milestones and lows of challenges with breastfeeding. And through it all, Teddi made sure to keep followers looped into her journey through, what she described as, her "first healthy and fit pregnancy." Now, the All In founder is offering an update on her health, wellness, and fitness goals just four months postpartum as she admits, "I’m not making myself crazed."

On June 23, Teddi took to Instagram to post a recent side-by-side shot of her body just three weeks after giving birth and now four months later. Teddi glows at every stage, but she explains in her caption that this isn't about projecting exceptions. 

"Many of you are asking for a postpartum update, but because every person’s journey is different, I have been hesitant as to not project expectations," she wrote. "Through it all, the one thing that has helped me is my commitment to taking care of my health and wellness." Which should come as no surprise given Teddi's signature spin bike selfies and treadmill walks leading up to giving birth. 

"Having that consistency of clean-eating and daily activity gave me a routine that helped me manage my time and anxiety. I do not share my weight, but since it’s my most-asked question, I will say that I am 9lbs away from where I was before I had Baby Dove. But you know what, I’m not making myself crazed to try and lose those 9lbs— rather focusing on non-scale victories.." she continued. "So if you’re postpartum or about to have a baby, just know that each journey is different, and I only wish for mine to serve as an inspiration to you."
