Question:
How do i lose this baby weight?
I just had my little boy four months ago.
My average weight was 145 before i got pregnant. And it went to a leaping 205.....ouch!
I am now at 180. The weight that is going to just fall off of me already has and i know it is up to me to do the rest.
I have always heard that baby weight is hard to get off.
I need tips....
Answers:
Do you have a gym membership?
I did the water aerobics and it helped a ton!!
No gym? I also rode bike and went for regular walks with my baby.
You can also use your baby as a weight. lie on the floor and have him sit on your belly. As you do a crunch say peek-a-boo or make a favorite sound. The extra weight helps you contract your stomach muscles even more!
Still lying on your back you can also do chest presses with him. Keep it slow and only do about 5 at a time. Hold him securely by his sides and slowly bring him up and down to your face. My daughter LOVED this one!!
As for eating. I cut out soda, watched labels for high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. I only buy 100% fruit juice. Watch your portions and stop eating when you are just starting to feel full, even if you still have food on your plate. If you eat until you feel really full, you will actually overeat!!
My daughter is now 20 months and I am below my pre-pregnancy weight!!
