Moms!! How did you lose your baby belly?? Please help! Any suggestions please!?!
Question: Ok, here's the details. My son was born October 4th last year and I need to get rid of this excess weight! I'm 28, about 5'9" and currently weigh close to 190. I need to lose like 40-50 pounds and slim down my thighs, waist, stomach and butt. I'm not trying to get 6 pack abs or anything, just want to fit into my old jeans. I used to be a size 9, now I'm a 14. Nothing fits, I hate my wordrobe. Anyway, I work from 8-5 and then go home, feed the baby, make dinner, change baby, put baby to bed, go on computer/relax for about an hour then go to bed. I just have no time for the gym at all. Mornings are not an option either. Sleeping is hard enough at night with the baby, can't get up at 5 to exercise. I'll be dead all day.
I eat cereal in the morning, a granola bar for a snack, salad or grilled chicken sandwich for lunch (or something else along those lines) and a healthy dinner. I don't eat junk, or snack much in the afternoon/evening or before bed.
Why do I feel like I'm getting fatter??

Same situation. I had my baby back in May of 2007 and work the same hours you do. I come home do the same routine. You do not want to starve your body, it will put your body into shock, so you do have to feed your body/metabolism. Take snacks like carrots, fruit, nuts, anything that is not too high in fat, you can even break up your meals and eat them throughout the day. We are supose to have 3 small meals and two snacks a day. To solve the exercising take it one step at a time. The easiest thing to do is get a exercise machine that you can jump on and off and be able to work out and watch TV at the same time. If a machine is too expensive, it is warming up and you may just want to go for a scroll or walk up and down the stairs at work. You can even do 15 mins in the morning and 15 mins at night. Do what works for you.
it takes time give it at least 6 months after you had the baby...before i was pregnant i weighed 130 then i got up to 165...i just gave it time and i felt like a fat pig but it wasnt until 5 months later i lost all the weight i gain but i still have a lil belly...my diet was usually ham and cheese sandwich in the morning, home made soup( I THINK THIS HELPED THE MOST) for lunch and chicken and rice almost every night
Well i had a son in Jan of last year and i work in an office enviroment from 8-5 also so at lunch time i usually walk around my office outside and drink TONs of water i do weird things while sitting in my chair like twisting or something so im always moving just a good way to keep you heart rate up and always burning fat! it worked for me!
