i had a c-section and even though I would still liek to lose some more wieght I have a bit of a pouch that i would like to turn into muscle... any ideas??How to lose weight fast.. adn turn a post pregnant belly into abs again...any advice or tips?
I had a vaginal birth a year and three days ago. (I will not refer to it as ';natural'; as I was in a hospital and induced. I would have been okay in the hospital, I just wasn't in agreement with the induction, which I could not argue or protest after my doctor scheduled it. He tells me this the day before he went on holiday and could not be reached. In the end it worked out, but I still don't refer to it as ';natural';.) When I was pregnant, or after my pregnancy, I wasn't concerned about losing weight, I figured it would come off when it was supposed to. (I lost ten pounds the first week, but was still in maternity pants two months later. I was able to squeeze back into my 12s about five months later. Now, they're too loose.)
Supposedly breastfeeding is supposed to help, as it helps contract the muscles back into shape and burns about 500 calories a day. However, I breast feed for my daughter's benefits, not as a ';diet';. (Any healthful benefits for me are just a nice side effect.) While I'm about 15 pounds less than what I was when my daughter was conceived, I have not, regrettably, exercised. I don't diet. I don't follow any ';rules';. I eat what I want when I want. However, I do eat whole, real foods. I try to avoid enriched flour (fancy wording for white), corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup (I'm aware of the commercials, but they are also biased; similar to the milk industry's drink milk and be skinny claims), partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and anything that looks as though it was created in a lab by man, and not in nature by God. This is what has worked for me and I wouldn't mind gaining a few pounds.
The weather is still nice. Put your baby in his stroller and go for a walk. While it's not always feasible, it does tire my daugther out. (Our spring walks conditioned her into taking an afternoon nap. The sun caused her to instinctively close her eyes and the movement of the stroller lulled her to sleep. Now, I just nurse her in the afternoons and she usually falls asleep.) I digress. I hope this helps. Your body didn't get that way overnight, and it won't get back overnight either.How to lose weight fast.. adn turn a post pregnant belly into abs again...any advice or tips?
Congrats on your baby!
The best way to get rid of belly fat is to:
1) Eat healthy

2) Drink plenty of water and limit sweets and sweet drinks (even diet) as much as possible.
3) Do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day.
Power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, and jumping jacks.
4) Do target exercises:

5) Get plenty of sleep.
6) Try to limit stress as it causes weight to settle in the abdominal area.
Good luck!
were you one of the lucky ones that didn't have to do a lot to keep your body looking fabulous before child? You are lucky but now you are going ot have to learn what we all have struggled so much with!
Try and get to moving, take the baby out in the stroller and go walking or running. Even if its just 20 min a day, any bit helps. Next eat great foods, and do some light lifting.
walk a lot...do pilates...try post natal yoga...congrats on your baby!
