A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

You lose weight after baby the same way anyone loses weight - eating a healthy diet and watching your portion size, and exercise.
I started back at the gym as soon as I had the doctor's okay (8 weeks). I did it as much to guarantee my teeth were brushed and I had a shower by 11am, as I did to get back into shape. (it is so nice to have someone else watch baby for a couple of hours so you can work out and talk to adults!).
I watched my portions. I have always been a nutrition freak so I always eat lots of vegetables and drink lots of water.
If you're still nursing, you need to be careful not to get too restrictive on your calories or you can hurt your milk supply. If you're not nursing you can either eat right or pick the diet of your choosing.
I lost all the weight after each of my 3 kids and I gained around 70lbs each! (and I was a tiny woman - under 110lbs). It did take a while, but I did it within 9 months with each pregnancy.
My waist and abdomen are not good as new. I got hit with badly stretched out skin and faschia. Only surgery will fix that. I guess that 70lb weight gain held consequences I didn't expect.
Oh..and what DDL proposes makes absolutely no sense and is not nutritionally sound. You don't need to starve (which is actually counterproductive) or over-exercise to lose weight and if you did that, you'd rebound faster than a yoyo.

Well, it took my bod at least six months to realize it was ok to drop the weight. I remember crying and wondering if I'd ever get back into shape. You need to remember your body has done something incredibly amazing, you've made and delivered a lil human being!! It's going to take time, patience and determination. The first thing I would do is start walking with ur baby, put him/her in a stroller and go for a walk. I would also start working on my abdominal wall, when your pregnant the muscles split apart to accommodate ur growing tummy. You need to realize your stomach may not be like it was before but you can definitely try your best. Start slow and include your baby in ur exercise. I remember i used to put my oldest in her carrier and seriously lift her up, great shoulder workout! Do situps, put the baby on ur belly and do crunches, they love it. Just be determined to live a clean, healthy lifestyle for you and your baby and time will fly by and you will have ur incredible body back! Good luck to u!

Lots of toning and stretching exercises five days a week, reduce your intake by 500 calories a week. Eat less junk food and increase raw vegetables. And loads of milk and milk products.
