thanks in advance =)Any advice on how to lose baby weight?
You'll definitely need to do some crunches to get your belly toned back up. I know how you feel, it is definitely an adjustment to get used to your post-baby body. I do cardio daily, I fast walk (yup thats right, I've become a mallwalker since its so cold outside here) for about 30-45 minutes everyday. Then about 3 times a week I do some weight training. Not only does it firm and tone but it boosts your metabolism immensely. Good luck!Any advice on how to lose baby weight?
I think you have to wait until your 6 week check up before you start working out again, but you can start walking now...walking is the BEST way to get back into shape, I walked like a mother every single day and I got back to even smaller then before I had my son...once you get the go ahead to actually work out, grab a pilates video and do it every other day, while doing the walking everyday with it...drink lot's of water, eat healthy (no junk) and breastfeeding helps too! You can do it, and don't hate your body, you only just gave birth a few weeks ago, it takes a few months or more to get back to normal, so you have to be patient, but it will happen!!! (and congrats on the little one)
Cute baby name!!





Put the baby in a snuggly/sling and WALK. I gained 100+ pounds with my son. I put him in his sling, and walked 6 km every day. Every single day. I did not diet at all. By the time he was 7 months old, I was back to normal and in much better shape.
breast feeding did a wonder for me even though I only did it for two months, i lost all the weight, but i still dont look the same, as my tummy is kinda stretched, it'll take time for that skin to tighten back up
I tried to be as active as possible and I also cut sugar out of my diet and limited carbs. It worked for me but you might want to talk to your doctor about it first.
Swimming. Low impact high aerobic excersize. Bike. Eat many small meals everyday. Drink plenty of water
Crunches.








And I don't mean Captain Crunches.
