609121
My daughter is three months old, my second daughter!\nI started walking two weeks after she was born. Ate right. No sugar or bad carbs. I'm nursing and began daily exercise. about 15 minutes of stretching and 45 minutes of Ball exercises. I already have a 29 inch waist and I'm still working on it. \nIts a dedication, if you want to loose the weight you have to stick with it. during the first two or three weeks you wont see much results but once you reach four weeks it just starts melting away.\nDont rush your self and good luck!

Yes you can, unless your doctor recommends that you do not.  Check with your doctor to see which work outs would be best for you.  Most gyms have programs specifically for pregnancy and/or post-pregnancy.  If the gym isn't your style, there are many work-out DVDs that are for pregnancy.  The best workout in my opinion is walking though.  Find a nice walking trail or just take a few laps around the mall.....it helps maintain calories and best of all it is free.

The best way is with diet and exercise, and you should exercise. Your goal shouldn't be to lose weight it should be to get in the best possible health than you can be.

You won't tlike this answer however the best and only safe way to lose weight is through a combination of diet and excercise.   Given your goals and desire to stay in house, you need to reduce your total caloric intake by focusing your diet on high proteien foods (like tuna and chicken) and fresh vegetables.  Drink plenty of water (at LEAST 64 oz/ day)- no soft drinks (not even diet) and begin a workout combining cardiovascular excersice (like jumping rope) with muscle building excercises like lunges, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and abdominal crunches.  The more muscle you build the more caloies your body will burn during the day to maintain that muscle mass.  As you start you may actually gain weight, this is because muscle is more dense than fat.  Try not to weigh yourself too often!  Hope it helps.

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

Please don't. You can certainly eat well, and cut out white sugar or +/or unhealthy carbs, but damn, you're pregnant! i am guessing that you chose to be a mom, and believe me, nough guilt goes with that title after their born that you don't need to be worrying that you hurt your baby because you needed to slim down. Nursing takes the pounds off!!! about 600 calories a day. that's pretty cool. I bet you can be " one hot momma" within 6 months of your baby's birth.

Eat smaller portions. You have to think about this seriously, imagine you and your perfect figure in your head and let it stick or else you'll just indulge! I never thought of weight loss in a healthy fashion, so if you don't either, be motivated by what you can fit into later on. The best exercise I can suggest (am i getting a little too into this?) is standing and holding on to your husbands hands, and bending 5-10 times a day. Add on 5 more every day. Good Luck!

Fast with protein shakes....but the weight will all come back and them some. \n\nLess food+ more exercise is the only way to really lose weight!

The best way to lose weight is through good diet and regular exercise. Doing good cardio exercise like jogging or anything that will get up your heartrate and keep it up promotes a higher metabolism. If you can keep your metabolism high, you will burn calories faster. Eating healthy meals within 30 minutes after exercising will also help to burn off the calories from the food you eat. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables when you get hungry between meals. They have things in them that help with weight loss also.

The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

Exercise and diet. Your body has really been through a change and it takes time. I have read that a lot of people didn't really start loosing a lot of weight until 6 months to a year after they had their baby. It took me almost a year and some help from Weight Watchers before I lost most of my weight. Just be patient if you can.

Listen I have had two kids and both girls with horrible hormonal pregnancies. I couldn't lose any weight with my first but was sooo determined with the second and I now weigh less than what I did when I feel pregnant with the second. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me happy to help in any way am now studying personal training. \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 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 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Losing weight is all about your frame of mind. If you are willing to do it you will. You just need the four D's.\n\nDrive\nDedication\nDeterimination\nDesire\n\nI have used Hypnosis to help me lose weight. It was a one on one hypnosis session where I could bring a casette tape home and listen to it in your sleep. After having a baby less than 3 months ago I already weigh less than I did before I was pregnant. Don't make ""losing weight" an issue the issue is really about feeling good about yourself.\n\n If you concentrate on feeling good by eating healthy you will lose weight and keep it off. You will learn to love your new and healthy lifestyle. Diets dont work because you loose weight too quickly and then you end up gaining more weight in the long run.\n\nBelieve in yourself or no one else will.

Lots of water, lay off sodas, sweets, and fried foods. Water and exercise! Walk, run, jog, whatever. Eat little portions. That's how my husband got 20 lbs off in 2 weeks

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.
