Shifting Baby Weight

Shifting baby weightWhat worked for you to shift the baby weight?

**Always check with your doctor before trying any form of diet if you’re breastfeeding.**

  •  Ummmmm, looks at baby fat tummy nearly 5 years on …Nothing, it’s still there lol.   Catriona
  •  Wish breastfeeding worked for me but alas it does not!    Gemma
  •  I can’t exercise due to pelvic injury. But I lost most of my baby weight by clean eating. Cooking everything from scratch and removing all packaged products.    Tracey
  •  Spanks! Shifted it where I couldn’t see it.    Bev
  •  I’m still trying to get rid of it and he’s 2! I weigh more now than I was 9months pregnant.    Amy
  •  Yeah that happened to me the more u try the harder it is too loose.   Rose
  •  It is! I am using a lose it app now, watching how many calories I eat is a eye opener when I have to input it myself. Weather here sucks almost all the time and it’s hard to go walking outside with a toddler without him getting sick. I am thinking about trying AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge.    Amy
  •  Weight training, running and squats, so far so good.   Elizabeth
  •  Fell pregnant before I could start to lose it. Oops.    Megan
  •  Walking n walking N walking!!! + walking n not eating crap!    Kerrie
  •  Walking walking walking and eating a bit better…. Best thing to do is do it slowly nothing worse than putting pressure on yourself we already have enough pressure being a Mum.   Nikkoletta
  •  I did lose baby weight. Program is great. Smoothies are yummy. My pre pregnancy weight with child number 1 was 63 kgs. I’ve now had baby number 5 and I weigh 59 kgs. I walk and do their DVD. After I had bub number 5 I was 73 kgs.   Juanita

  •  Clean eating and exercise, I transformed my body after my first and went into my second pregnancy fit and started fit during and because of that I dropped the weight quickly, hit the gym again and have been regaining my body back quicker. Having been through a pregnancy not fit and one fit, it deff paid off the second time.    Alana

  •  Getting off my fat ass and eating healthy portioned food!!    Haylee
  •  Has anyone done the “lose baby weight” program I’m starting next week, it looks really good.    Olivia

Walked and did c25k on treadmill. Recipes are easy.. Never lost weight so quickly, now just gotta work on first baby weight.    Olivia

  •  Gym, physio, chiro and an amazing husband who has been 100% supportive and encouraging. He has changed his eating habits to help me, a lot less snacking from the both of us. I gained 20 kgs and now down 10 kgs. Had a emergency c section with a very very long recovery, unable to do any exercise for 3 mth. Bub is almost 6 months now, I think it’s a fair effort. I’ve lost 13 cm in 2 months. I wear a Fitbit best Christmas gift from my husband! all for me and for my baby boy 10 more kg to go.   Lauren
  •  No need to diet, just eat healthy and exercise, quick fixes and gimmicks are never a long term gain anyway.    Alana

  •  Eating well until I was full, of foods I enjoyed with plenty of fruit/vegies/protein and treats as I wanted them. And I did squats to increase some active muscle mass and made an effort to play more physical games with my children and take them for more walks. Moved 10kg nice and slowly over 9-10mths.

  •  I eat dinner early with my baby/toddler around 5.30/6pm every night and snack very little before bed time. That has helped a little. But definitely need to do proper exercise to lose more…Sanny
  • Body trim! I’ve dropped 16.5kgs since the start of October. I’ve only got 2.5kgs to go to my goal weight. I’ve been walking nearly every day for about 40-60 mins and pushing a double pram… That really works you out. I also have been going for runs but that’s not very often due to my 7 month old. Breastfeeding didn’t really help me lose weight. I’m pretty surprised that I’ve still got a great milk supply with being in my diet. I did eat a bit more protein for each meal than what I was meant to.    Cherie
