sassy, you mentioned you could suggest some tweaks to mi diet? I'm all ears
also, like i said, i had a babe 11 weeks ago, i've lost 33 of 40 pregnancy pounds. My entire body won't be painful to tone up i think, because i was never soft before, and i'm not too bad now...except of course my tummy, there is that small pouch of stretched skin & muffin top. Any advice? I'm getting married July 7, could I atleast have a flat stomach by then? And I'm not able to go to a gym right now...I have a stationary bike to work out, and myself
and also, any words of wisdom about fat burning supplements? Like Hydroxycut and anything like that?

Basically your diet is what is sabotaging all your work. At your height & weight you are kinda starving yourself. Your body has learned to operate under the stress of not enough nutritients and an increasing workload which will start to catabolize muscle as well as some fat while your body tries to find fuel to run on for all this.
Your macro ratios aren't so bad - 40% protein / 30% carb / 30% fat is a good place to start - because your body needs stuff to run on to keep up w/ the kid too. And I'm not a doctor but I just really think that you need to stay conservative w/ your carbs in the sense that you don't need to be going on a body builder diet - instead you should let your body get back to normal and fuel it to do that as well. The 30% carbs also gives you some room for including some good fruits in your diet as well. These are great to help shuttle out free-radicals and other waste products of your body's daily metabolic processes.
An easy answer is to check out the diet part of The Shadow Project - check the stickies at the top of the board. You shoudl be eating at least around 1400 -1600 cals / day. You're almost 1/3 of a day below that.
I have no idea about the pudge thing - part of that is just your skin and your muscles recovering from the baby. The kid isn't even 3 months old so you need to give your body some time to do what it needs to do.
