you could return to lose weight maybe if your not breastfeeding anymore. your correct that it might affect your milk supply for your baby. |

My best friend had her first baby not too long ago. She thinks she'll never lose the weight. Any advice? |

My sister did a lot of cardio and small weights, and she managed to lose her baby fat pretty fast, but it was like 15 pounds, nothing more. |

My best friend since high school just had her baby two months ago, and she's having a little trouble losing the extra weight. She's always been bigger built, so maybe it's a little more difficult for her? |

I agree with you, it gets harder with each one! Probably because we are so busy with more kids that it just gets harder. I want to lose the 20 pounds to get me started. I think if I get those off, I can just get the rest of it off. Good luck! |

I am a mom of 4 children. It seems that it was very easy to loose the weight from the first child. A little harder with the second. Even harder with the third, and practically impossible with the 4th. My youngest is 8 and I am20 pounds heavier that I was when I got pregnant with my first child. I don't even plan on getting down to 125 again, but would love to loose at least 10-15 pounds. |

Be sure that you are drinking lots of water. I have to drink water to keep me going and especially at the beginning, I was drinking it like it was going out of style. I always tried to have a small snack while I was nursing, crackers or fruit, something that would give me a chance to relax and sit and yet I'm replacing those calories that I've giving up with the nursing.
If you can, try to fit a walk in during the day. Even ten minutes will give you some energy. HTH! |

My baby is 10 months old next week....hoe¡w time flies!
Well, I have lost a lot of weight due to depression, so I suppose that does not really count. Now I feel I am getting better, I find I am eating more, and I have retained the sweet tooth that I developed during the pregnancy.
Ideally I would like to be back to my pre baby figure, but it is going to take some serious determination. I am almost there, but I cannot quite see the finishing line yet! |

Thanks for the kind words GI Jane! It has been rough, indeed, but I believe for some people it takes going through difficult situations to have a different outlook, and a deeper appreciation for the "simpler" times. Also to gain strength where it was needed. All of the above are true for me:)
Dee1, congrats on your new baby! Don't put too much pressure on yourself to lose all your baby weight this early after your delivery. I know it's so hard, believe me, but your body is still healing. Eat healthy, and enjoy walks outside with your baby to start. Also, be careful of your diet restrictions if you are breastfeeding. Let me know if you have any questions:) |

I had my son 8 weeks ago and I am only getting around to loosing the weight now, just being so busy haven't had time to do anything so I started my low carb diet today and fingers crossed. |

I'm still breastfeeding my youngest babies so am keeping a steady weight going. If I don't eat enough I can see the weight loss almost instantly but I am careful now about eating regularly. When I stop breastfeeding I just know that I'll pile on the weight but I've had four children so I should know better by now! Those last few pounds really are the hardest though but motherhood can change your shape completely so what worked before won't necessarily work now. My little ones are only three months old and to be honest I don't have the time or the energy for a proper work out so I'm sticking with walking and breastfeeding for now. My own personal way of stopping snacking is to drink water, green tea and chew gum so hopefully I won't have too much weight to lose when I'm ready to start for real!
Good luck to all you mammies who are trying to get back in shape! |

I have finally lost all my baby weight. It was a very long road for me, and I absolutely attribute it to the Coco Trim and CST Boost! I began taking them after I stopped nursing, and with very little exercise I still lost the weight. I'm now working on toning up the muscle and getting my six pack back:) I think I will be there in a few more weeks....It was definitely much harder for me to lose the baby weight the second time around. |
