Losing weight after baby

04/23/2007 at 01:25 PM.

I gave birth to my beautiful DS a year and a half ago. I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy and managed to take the first 20 off while breastfeeding during the first 6 months. The next 10 came off gradually, but I can't get rid of these last ten stubborn pounds! I have been dieting and exercising. Although I admit sticking to the exercise has been tough. I probably do 2-3 days of jogging on the treadmill each week. I also try to walk as much as possible in my daily routine. I think I may never get rid of this belly - I look like I'm 3 months pregnant. Anyone have any advice?

I really don't have any advise. Just to let you know you are not alone. with my first i took off most of my weight except for 15lbs. Then got pregnant again. This time around I was able to get right back to my wight 3 months later. Which is great. But I'm having a hard time getting those last 15lbs off.

Is there someone you can walk with everyday. I know i do really good when my sister can walk with us everyday.

Good luck and I will be sendin you good vibs.

I know sit ups helps you lose belly fat. But I also heard that if you become a vegetarian for a while you lose more weight. Instead of fried foods maybe you can bake it. Instead of meat try chicken. And eat at least 5 or 6 portions a day. like a meal and then a snack. Maybe that will help. Im going to try this too after I give birth. But good luck to you both and I will let you know if I lost the weight.

Be sure to wait at least 6 weeks after the birth before you start doing sit-ups again.
