OMG - Congrats!! Keep in mind that your body is still healing & hormones are still outta wack. I didn't start to feel my normal self (w/ all the implied regular energy) until after my son was close to a year. Maintain a healthy diet & food portions. Just doing all the regular housework that a new mom does (plus the irregular schedule) will help burn some calories. Once the baby gets on a somewhat regular sleeping pattern & you can get some sleep then try to incorporate some light weights. Alittle weight-conditioning & some daily walks with your new bundle in the stroller will help shed some pounds. Take it slow & don't get discouraged if you don't fit into your pre-preggers jeans immediately.

I know after I had my daughter, I had a lot of weight to lose, the breast feeding obviously helped alot, but there are many excercises out there, that you can do with the baby. Just try and look on line for them. That way you don't have to have someone watching the baby while you are working out. Good luck! It does eventually come off!

How about putting your baby in a stroller and taking a half hour walk every day? Or you could find a great dvd online and work out at home. There are so many fun ones out now, everything from kickboxing, tae bo, aerobics, and you will feel better too.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
