Of course, I would start off with eating right - 6 small meals per day, balanced, with plenty of water. \n\nStart resistance exercising. This will help your right leg. You can train your right leg so it becomes stronger, plus muscle burns more calories than any other type of tissue in the body, so as you develop more muscle, you will burn more fat.\n\nDon't worry about becoming a "he-woman" by working out. The fact is that fat takes up 5 times the amount of space as muscle, and to become a "he-woman", you would have to embark upon a serious exercise, nutrition, and supplement regimen similar to professional body builders. By working out, you will get that slim, toned look that everyone likes.\n\nFinally, as you build your right leg, you can start doing cardio work on a stationary bike. It may not be for several months, but cardio is a great way to burn fat.\n\nYou may want to purchase a book called Body for Life by Bill Phillips - it has good basic information regarding getting fit & eating right that you could use.\n\nGood luck!

The previous answer said the best diet would be to not spend money on stuff that wont work. What are you doing to lose weight. Everyone out their has diffrent challenges. Most people need some kind of support to lose weight. How much money are you spending on your meals every day. I mean meals snack pop etc. It adds up. I can show you a way to lose weight and still eat the foods you love and get healthier. It will cost you less to lose weight then it cost you to gain it. I saved money on my grocery bill.\n\nView my website for more info.

The doctor should be able to give you a special diet plan to loose the weight you need to get pregnant.\nBelieve me when I say this.\nWhen my mom went for a check up, her doctor gave her a special diet plan and some exercises.\nShe followed half of the diet plan, but what helped the most was that she started walking every morning, five laps or an hour of laps around a park.\nAnd she lost not just weight, but lost size as well.

If you're still breastfeeding do not diet as it will deprive your baby of much needed nutrients. I would advise you to keep breastfeeding and to pump and discard what your baby doesn't need. When your body makes breast milk you lose a lot of calories so keep up the production. Another thing you can do is to exercise. I recommend walking or swimming. Walking is good because you can put your baby in a stroller and take him or her with you. Put some breast milk in a bottle if you like so you can feed him more conveniently while out for your walk or feed him/her just before you leave for the walk. Don't worry about what people say...quite frankly I'm never concerned what people say/think about me and they usually end up concerned what I think about them instead. Just be happy, ignore rude people and enjoy your baby!! ☺ When you are no longer breastfeeding ask your doctor if he would prescribe ionamin for you. It's an appetite suppressant but you cannot take it if you have heart problems. In fact it's best to just increase your fibre and water intake and exercise but if that doesn't work by all means ask your doctor for help as your bmi (body mass index is likely over 32 or 33 depending on your height)Another tip for you is try to cut sugar out of your diet. Just by doing this you will lose between 1/2 to 1 lb per week. It does not sound like much but that is 26-52 lbs per year. Remember-weight you lose slowly won't come back but rapid weight loss results in rapid weight gain plus a few extra pounds. Good Luck!♥☻♠☺

If you contact me with your email address, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.\n\nSince your mom wants you to lose weight to, she will probably do what she can to help you follow the diet.  You won't be  hungry because you eat something every three hours.

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.

Try pilates type exercises...my daughter had a baby 3 months ago and is slowly getting back into shape using the pilates system...but realize that it takes time as well as exercise and diet changes to get the shape you want!  You need to consume less calories than what you burn as well as tone up the areas that have been stretched to their limits during the pregnancy!  Don't despair!  I have had 5 children...still have the love handles and earned every inch of them!

Stick to the diet until you get down to your or your Drs. desired weight. Start an exercise program that is light and moderate while dieting but increase it gradually - walking is idea, no physical stress on the body if done moderately. When you get down to your desired weight and you have a steady exercise program such a regular walking you can afford to eat some pizza, chocolate or ice cream (but only one at a time!). The low-carb worked for me and I lost 15% of body weight and have been able to maintain virutally all of that by walking.

anything un natural that you take can get into your blood stream and into breast milk.... altering the nutrition, quality and quantity.\n\nYou dont need diet pills, being active and breast feeding alone, will help you shed those pounds.  Once the baby no longer breastfeeds, follow up with a healthy diet, and excercise routine.\n\nYour goal should be to stay healthy right now, as you nurture your child, the more healthy you are, the more healthy the child will be.

From everything  I've read, these pills don't do anything but make you spend your money. Try cocoa butter for softness and do some exercises specific for your breasts.  You don't have to use heavy weights-- you are toning.\n\nThe exercise will make you feel better all over and helps to reduce your stress-- being a new mom, I bet you could use a stress reliever!

The best diet is a well-rounded diet.  Ignore the fad diets (like Low Carb!!) which are here today gone tomorrow (with your money!).  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and moderate amounts of fat.  Take in fewer calories than you use and you will lose weight.  That doesn't sell many books, but it works.

No diet works for the long run.  Stay away from diets that prevent your intake on foods that you like because once your off the diet you will gain the weight back eating items that you missed while dieting. Best diet is no diet, but you must learn to eat healthy (better food choices) and exercise.  Still have some of the things that you like but count calories.  If you are unable to exercise at a gym, purchase a stroller for your little one and walk outside.  Maybe later, you will want to purchase a stroller for jogging if you keep it up.  Most states are having very warm weather now "summer" get out and enjoy it while losing those extra pounds !  ..........JUST DO IT !  Good Luck !

I usually spend 24 hours a day for 9 months with "pregnancy sickness."  \n\nMorning sickness is a misnomer.  I think it was named by someone who had never been pregnant.  \n\nIf you are suffering with it, drink something salty.  Salted water or V8 juice is good.  (I'm living on salty lemon water now.)  Try to avoid sugary foods and high-odor foods (although most things have a much stronger smell to a pregnant woman than to someone who isn't.)&#92;\n\nEat frequent small meals...like some almonds or jerky and a half an apple to keep your natural sugars stable.  Eat good regular meals, too.

No diet is the best diet.\n\nJust eat (larger) healthy meals (5- 6 per day)\n\nDrink water during the day, orange juice or fruit juice with all meals. (helps to absorb iron in meals and vitamin c) drink green tea or coffee or substitute drink with FULL fat milk. (Canned fruit in natural juice is best)\n\nBreakfast; 1 piece of fresh fruit and cereal with full cream fat milk.\n\nMorning tea; 1 piece of fresh or canned fruit or biscuit with full fat cheese, or full fat yogurt. \n\nLunch; 1 sandwich and plate of soup or salad & vegebales with meat or chicken or fish,\n\nAfternoon tea; the same as morning tea.\n\nDinner; meat, or fish or chicken with salad and vegetables and potatoes.\n\nSupper; If you are a poor sleeper or not very over weight. porridge; low fat cereal, yogurt or hot chocolate milk (all of these are relaxing and light on your stomach in the evening) Other wise try to eat your last main meal early (5.30 - 7pm) or only eat supper on days you have been working really hard or missed a meal during the day.\n\nDecrease your daily exercise to walking, or swimming, or bike riding or whatever you like to increase your heart rate for at least 20 minutes straight.\n\nYou are 5'5" or 165 cm tall; as a female anything from 47 to 60 kg or 7 stone - 9 stone or 98 to 116 pounds is normal depending on your body shape. \n\nIf you have small breasts the lighter if large breasts the heavier end would be more normal.\n\nOnly you would know what is right.\n\nIt is more about being healthy and looking good than being a certain weight.\n16 ounces per pound, 14 pounds per stone. or 2.2 pounds per kilo gram.

Vegetarian, lots of fat free milk, and water. Make sure you take pre-natal vitamins. You should eat healthy, you don't need to eat extra food, just enough that you are satisfied.
