Answer

i am 23 and have a four year old son, i put on quite a lot of weight when i was pregnant, and i didn't really diet after, just cut down a wee bit and lost most of it ending up about 10 1/2 stone, which was my usual weight, it sounds rubbish but really the only way to lose weight is reduce calorie intake, don't do it too soon, you'll be knackered with the baby!!! i'm now eating about 1500 calories a day and have managed to stay between 9 stone 9lbs and 9 stone 13lbs. i tend to binge eat a bit then try and be really good! There are some good websites that work out how many calories you need to consume to reach your target weight, weightloss resources.co.uk will do this for you! i drink loads of water and eat porrige for lunch when i'm at work cause it really fills you up! Good luck i hope this is any help, ps i just read in a magazine that posh spice and liz hurley hane admitted they are starving all the time and eat a side salad for dinner in restaurants, how boring must their dates be!!! Also, if your dying for a bit of chocolate, i'm a chocaholic, try eating a fun size choc bar, that's what i do, then i go to bed so i don't eat another 50!!!

Answer

Brestfeeding is a great way to lose the "baby fat" Your body stored up extra fat while you were pregnant for you to have extra to make brest milk with. If you don't brest feed then you will have to exercise to help lose this weight.

Althought exercise is still a good idea for everyone.
