Anyone have plans for losing weight after the pregnancy?

[seattlemom2plus]

One of the biggest challenges for me is to find time and to lose weight after pregnancy.  So I am already trying to think ahead on this.  I don't want to take a couple years to lose the weight.  Anyone have any plans or even tips on what works for them?  I breastfeed but that doesn't make the weight fall of like you would think.

It always feels like it is so hard to exercise after the baby gets here, you are tired, etc.  and yeah I try to wait until after all the post-partum bleeding is done before I push myself.   Walking with my little one helps get me motivated and gives me some energy.

Oh you ladies are inspiring me already!  I am already itching to go back to my vegetarian ways.  Its hard for me to eat meat, but I have been with my pregnancy and I am just craving large amounts of protein which I take it my body needs hence the cravings.

I been trying to keep exercising too during pregnancy to help me too.

With my last baby, at 6 weeks we found out he had a dairy/soy allergy.  I cut out all dairy & soy out of my diet, bread, all prepared/pre-packaged foods and only ate fresh fruit, meat & veggies :)  No butter, mayo, used olive oil for everything. The weight melted off me. I lost over 12lbs my pre pregnancy weight.  SO, I'm huge now from eating everything I can get my hands on.  I'm only 28.3 weeks and I've gained about 27 lbs at least.  I'm going to try that way of eating after the baby, combined with the breastfeeding!

You know what I was reading up on those do you have a link to the one you used before?  I really had trouble getting my stomach to pop back into place no matter how much I dieted.  So glad you posted this thank you!!!!

I'm going to try the postpartum support band, I used it with my last pregnancy and I liked it. It didn't worked overnight but I do feel like it helped out alot.
