Loose Weight After Pregnancy

[nessie]

as far as breast-feeding, yes, it does in fact help w/ the process of losing the weight for numerous reasons. i attempted it for about 4 days, but produced barely a thing. Mainly because I wasn't eating properly therefore I wasn't producing enough breastmilk for my daughter.

Nursing did help down to that last 10-15, which is held on for dear life, since you're feeding another human and all. Once I stopped nursing, the last 10-15 went away within weeks. At the time, I didn't really care. My son was healthy, and I was still able to train hard since I was barely an A, even while nursing (wwaaaa...).

Too bad they haven't gotten this whole process down so it can be taken from start to finish in a pregnancy chamber, kinda of like a 10 gallon moonshine still with a variety of hoses and wires connected. At 9 months you pull the kid out, smack it in the ass and take it from there. No fat, stretch marks, no crying at beer ads early on because of hormones, no loose skin, c-sections or post-partum depression.

BG...you're gonna have him on May 11th...that's my b-day and this year it's also Mother's Day.

Nursing...I did it for over a year. My boobs got huge, my daughter ate well, I stayed fat. I did feel my uterus contracting back while nursing though.

Nessie, welcome and remember, every woman is different...so what works for one may not work as well for another. Just keep workin at it 'till you figure out what works for YOU.

I agree with what akrama about slowing down the cardio and start lifting. Give it a shot at least. My weight has remained the same since last summer, but I've gone down a few sizes (from a 12/14 to a 6/7) in my pants/skirts. Make sure you're eating well too...search this board for some good tips. Good luck!

well we'll see how it goes. this upper part of my belly (above my belly button) is the hard part that i'm dying over. i began to consider a tummy tuck but voted NO for the simple fact that i do plan to have another child later in the future so it'd just be a waste of $$$ for me.

in any case, thanks for all the helpful tidbits of info everyone, its much appreciated. i'll search the boards for any answers to questions i may have!

and thanx much meli for doing me the favor and starting this thread, your a doll, :::kisses 2 u::::
