Go easy on yourself! After my first child I lost all the weight within a couple of weeks, after my second it took longer - and more effort! Your body has been through a lot and you are taking care of a new baby, plus another one. I was told not to do anything drastic as far as exercise or diet for at least 6 weeks after the birth.
Are you breastfeeding? If you are that will really help. If not you need to watch your calorie intake - if you're tired (of course you're tired!) your body craves calories for extra energy. Take the baby for a walk every day if you can, if your other child is young you might need a double stroller. If you can't do that then walking around the backyard, dancing with the kids to the Wiggles, doing exercise DVDs etc should help.
If you hadn't just had a child you could go a little more hardcore but you need to be gentle with your body and give it time to recover.
I've been eating weight watcher frozen meals and just and just eating Semi-healthy for 2 months and I've lost 21 pounds so far.
Wow your pushing yourself way to much, You've just had a child seven days ago your body needs time to get back in order. Your going to mess up your body if you keep pushing yourself so much. relax, Give yourself a break. Your body will lose the weight on it's own and losing 10 pounds in a week is NOT good for your body even a doctor will tell you that!
How old are you and how tall are you?
My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product (all natural) which I think helps a lot in the process (it's really good for detox, you'll feel much healthier). I recommend you check this website
