Hey guys!!!! I have more in common with ppl on here than i thought!!
Im 23 and i have a 3 year old boy and a 6 month old girl.
For me i found the losing weight thing very difficult up until a month ago. My daughter is well settled now
and quite an easy baby for now.
Losing weight is very definitely possible....good luck guys!!

I finally found the part of this website that I need, I have a 3 month old son, im 20 years old, and I am hoping to loose the weight that I need to by my 21st in september, but with all that is going on I am finding it so very hard, grabbing food that is quick and easy during the day, isnt always healthy. the one proper meal i have during the day is at dinner time. It would be great to get down to 55 kgs, as i am currently 65 after being nearly 80kgs when I was pregnant, so...... help would be much appreciated! Oh and if any one knows a good way to reduce the stretch marks that would be appreciated too!!!

hey laura....i think some advice i can give u is to take it easy. I wasnt able to properly focus on my diet and exercise until my girl was 6 months old..cos i believe that my body was still recovering and i needed to catch up on sleep when my daughter started sleeping through the night.
You could be different but i find that if ur not hard on urself during this time (i found that i was tired all the time!!)....u will know when this improves cos u will have more energy.
Hope all goes well

laura87: gosh besides bio oil and other scar reducing creams im not sure there is much else u can do. i wish there was as my belly is covered in them as the result of going from 58-72kgs in 6months of meeting hubby then from 72-92kgs from falling preg at 6months after meeting my hubby.
id never even been close to the 90's befor i met hubby and got preg x3.
siana: ur right, Im so glad my son is now sleeping totally thru the night its only taking 9months grrrr.other times ive tried losing weight but now i know i can do it as im getting more sleep, hubby is cutting back his hrs and will help out more yay yay yay, im now taking centrum tablets though to help with getting some energy though.
mummy84: how is everything going?

you said you have started dieting. What kind of diet?

[PenM]

I think it's always harder for new moms to lose weight than normal girls or boys as they will spend a lot of time to take care their new baby. Maybe you need to follow some trusted diet plans like Bistro MD to cook your foods?

If you focus on these tips, definitely you see the results.
Weight Loss Tip 1:
Push in two fruits or vegetables with every meal you eat. This will fill your stomach and help you cut down on the calories you would take in from the other foods.
Weight Loss Tip 2:
Eat breakfast daily. You would have gone hours without eating since the previous night, hence eating breakfast would not decrease your tendency to overeat later during the day.

Weight Loss Tip 3:
Have some snacks every 4 hours. You could have any snack: Oranges, Apples, Chips, String Cheese, Pretzels etc. Eat anything you want (in small quantities), just make sure you have something in your stomach at all times, you shouldn't feel hungry.
Weight Loss Tip 4:
Eat at regular intervals. Eating at odd irregular times would upset your whole diet. It is always advisable to maintain a specific schedule and always stick to it.
Weight Loss Tip 5:
Always know your portions: Half a cup of rice is about the size of your fist, one ounce of cheese is as much as a large marble; a three ounce serving of meat is the size of a deck of cards.
Divide your plate into parts: Three fourths of it should be filled with vegetables, grains, beans and fruits while the other quarter should be extra-lean meat or low-fat dairy products.
Weight Loss Tip 6:
NEVER skip your meals.
Skipping a meal might seem like cutting on calories but thats not the case. You are basically starving yourself which is very wrong. The next meal that you eat will be converted to pure fat. This will eventually cause you to gain weight rather than losing any.
