id say dont go an a diet just learn how to eat good, eating good doesnt nessecarily mean a diet, just read up when ever you can, not any fad stuff. just learn to read labels, like ingrediants and the rest of the stuff. switch to whole wheat breads and pastas,  and buy more fruit and veggies. If you learn to eat good you wont nessecarily be on a diet and you can pass the healty eating on to your kids too. im 26 and have been reading up on this stuff for about a year now and still have a lot to learn. so id say just read, read, read, ( i get a lot of info from mens health mag.)

If you have six weeks try Slim in 6. With my second baby I lost 47 pounds I gained and then 5 more. You might think that is not alot but when you are 5 feet it is. The stories on the website are really inspiring.  Also I'm reading Total Body Makeover by Bob Greene.  All the stories in the book are inspiring checkout the websites.

Give it about six weeks after delivery before you take on an exercise regime.  You may be surprised at how quickly you lose weight, especially if you are breastfeeding.\n\nCore strength exercises, like the pilates recommended above, are a good choice to flatten your stomach.  Just plain old situps and crunches will do a lot for you in that area too.  Cardio (jogging, aerobics) will help you lose weight overall.

My first son, I lost the weight easily...with my second son it was harder. I cut my portion sizes down a little, drank alot more water, and did alot of walking (cause that was easiest for me...just put the kids in the stroller and go). It give you time with your kids and it's the best to get back to pre-baby weight. You can try sit ups in the evening before you go to bed to tighten your tummy. I did alot of this and was back in my old jeans before my son turned 9 months old. It's not fast, but you do see results after a few months. I didn't have the time to keep a regular workout.

I think you can loose your baby weigth by exercising every day 45 minutes but walking fast not runnig cause that hepls you burn more calories than runnig but do crunches like 40 every day and that will help you also eat a healthy diet

I personally haven't had a baby, but cardio at the gym does wonders when you want to lose inches. Eliptical trainers will do it fast. I've lost lots of weight that way and I know others who have lost baby fat that way also. It's the fastest healthiest thing I know to do. Also if you do it regularly it gets easy and the results last.

Pregnancy. You get the added weight of the baby and if you get cravings you could really put the weight on. A lot of women struggle with back pain also, which limits their mobility. Less exercise means burning off fewer calories means more weight gain.\n\nIf you want a 'good' answer, don't try the easy methods. Eat healthy foods that are high in calories (e.g. nuts - also good for lowering your risk of heart disease - bonus!) Also try weight-lifting using low-repetitions if you want less fat and more muscle. But things like walking and swimming will also keep you healthy while you gain weight.\n\nJust don't forget that 'diet' originally meant 'lifestyle'. It's better to change your lifestyle rather than just go on drastic weight-gain/loss diets.\n\nGood luck!

Honey here's an honest answer....it's gonna be hard.  The only way I Iost my weight was from breastfeeding...and being woke up every 2 hours.  Wear a pedometer and try to get in at least 10,000 steps a day.  I know it sounds like alot, but it really isn't.  I would also make sure that you get the ok from your dr. before doing any excercise plan.  Good luck and congrats on the baby!

Stop playing the victim and never put your finger down your throat again that is so silly you are better than that and can fight this with some inner strength. \n\nIf you don't have access to a gym you can still modify this plan. If I were you I would consider gym membership with a creche for your baby. I have been where you are and understand but don't isolate yourself get back into the real world and meet some women just like you who have had kids and want to gain back their phyisic and fitness. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
