drink lots of water (no fruit juice and soda!). Cardio is great to lose weight.

You're slightly on the heavy side but no, you're not HUGE. Look at what kinds of snacks and sweets and junk foods, sodas you're eating throughout the day. Cut those and drink water instead whenever you want to eat them. Just that will help you lose ALOT of weight over about 2 weeks... If you have time, exercise!! And remember to keep this up as a part of a healthy lifestyle. DO NOT skip meals or starve yourself. I've been down that road and it's not pretty. Good luck!

Try drinking Ensure.  A lot of times it's sold next to the pharmacy.  Ask the pharmacist how much to drink to gain healthy weight.  Also, I have a friend who's naturally very thin.  When she loses a few pounds, she eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a snack between meals to gain the weight back.  I don't really know why this works for her, but it does.  It's worth a try.

First of all if your child is causing you problems while you are exercising, I suggest that you let a relative, friend, or someone you trust babysit him/her. But if that's not the case then I suggest for you to exercise daily and eat health. Think about how nice you would be looking if you do lose all that weight by summer. \n\nYOUR DIET??????????????????\nIt not nesserly means to not eat anything, but to watch what you are eating.When I say eat healthy that means try to eliminate fried, cooked food or fast food. Instead eat vegetables, fruits, grain cereal, drink water, and eat a balanced meal. Try to eliminate any other drink that is not water because most drinks them have too many carbohydrates or added sugars.\n\nExercising??????????????????\nTry to set a goal for yourself. Do aerobics, exercise videos, running, or mainly focus in your abdonimal area. \n\nTo it to impress your self and because you are a winner and not a failer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nTry not to give up and have faith in your self. While you are exercising think about all the hard work that's going to pay off when you are in the beach in your bikini. Find ways to motivate your self. Invite some friends to go run or exercise with you.\n\nDo as follow and you will see great results. But if for any reason you don't find the results that will satisfy you, try this other alternative..........\n\nHave you heard of the Atkins Diet?????????????\nThe Atkins Diet consists of you eating as much (certain) food as you want and loosing lots of weight. Of course by exercising too. \n\nThe Plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nEat has much meat as you want or any food that has few carbohydrates. You should eat any kind of  meat, eggs, sugar free jello(has to be sugar-free), creamcheese, whip cream, and any kind of chesse. All these foods have few carbohyrates. The main plan is to watch out in the amount of carbohyrates you eat. Don't eat any kind of bread or food that has many carboyrates. Because if you do the diet and end up eating a lots of carboyrates the diet is not going to work and you will not lose weight. I recommend you to follow the diet strictly because it does give you great results.\nHowever if you are interested find out more about the diet in the internet\n\nRemember the best way to lose weight is by setting a plan that will help you stay focused.

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.

Same here... I've been losing weight by making some easy changes.\n\n• Don't skip meals (this one is important)\n• Drink lots of water\n• Don't eat too late (basically, don't snack before bedtime)\n• Find good ways to deal with a sweet tooth- I've learned to drink a diet A&W root beer to help with mine!\n• Exercise- this one is pretty obvious. Just fit it in whenever/wherever you can, because every bit counts.\n\nAlso, because your weight gain has occurred relative to a change in your life (going overseas) look at what the actual culprit is. What has changed in your diet/nutrition/lifestyle since you have been there? \n\nGood luck.

You will lose it...I had my second child 7 mths ago, i started at the gym 5 weeks ago and have lost weight already. \nI work 30mins or cardio and 30 mins of weights four times a week.\nIf you cant get to a gym, do something at home that will get yuou breaking out into a sweat..like running up and down the stairs..jogging, skipping....housework.\nEat smaller portions of sensible meals.\nsnack on healthy snack like fruit. drink lots of water.\n\nI know it feels like you'll never get there...but trust me, you will.

I feel that you don't need to loose any weight. I'm have a one year old girl and i weight around that amount. You are beautiful in your own way and you should feel beautiful.

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!

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!

I just had a c-section myself 3.5 months ago. I've always been tiny and slim until now. I can't seem to lose those last 10 or 15 pounds which are mostly hanging around my belly. I wish I knew the perfect answer but all I can say is crunches and patience.

Well I had the best of both worlds as I took a year off work to get to my ideal weight. I have had two children and after my first child couldn't lose the weight. I was so wanting to get back to my ideal weight that after my second child I started going to the gym 6 times a week for at least 1.5hrs & really learning about it all. \n\nI am now studying to be a personal trainer and have combined work and ideal weight together. My aim is to maintain my weight for life with healthy eating and exercise routines. Here is the plan I followed: \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. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \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 - multigrain 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.

OMG - Congrats!! Keep in mind that your body is still healing & hormones are still outta wack. I didn't start to feel my normal self (w/ all the implied regular energy) until after my son was close to a year. Maintain a healthy diet & food portions. Just doing all the regular housework that a new mom does (plus the irregular schedule) will help burn some calories. Once the baby gets on a somewhat regular sleeping pattern & you can get some sleep then try to incorporate some light weights. Alittle weight-conditioning & some daily walks with your new bundle in the stroller will help shed some pounds. Take it slow & don't get discouraged if you don't fit into your pre-preggers jeans immediately.

We'll I had mine a cple years ago and have lost a total of 63 pounds.  I wish I could loose more but I think I am at my peak. Sometimes our bodies just tell us when it has had enough and has done all it can do or if you are a stong willed person you cna proove everyone wrong and exercise more or just take out 1 less snack and drink a tad more water to flush your system.   Hope this helps.

Everyone reaches a plateau when dieting. It sounds as if you are doing the right thing for your body to lose weight, so I would keep that up & maybe throw a little more intensity and challenge in with it. The weight will probably not drop off like it has been for the past two months, but it will continue to come off. Trust me.

You may not lose that much by may, but i bet you will look and feel much better if you try weight watchers & one of the meetings!\nGood Luck!!
