I had a c-section 13 months ago and I have yet to re-gain full muscle control where they cut me open. How can I get that muscle control back to get the weight off and what is the best way to lose that extra weight in that area once I get it back? (Im not digging the mommy pouch) NOT CUTE!!

Losing weight is difficult. But here I am introducing you some tips to lose a small amount of weight in a healthy that that is also within a week.
Steps to losing weight fast
* Get a set of small hand weights, 3, 5 or 8 lbs.
* Do five to ten minutes of weight lifting for a half an hour after each meal. Lie on your back and slowly lift yourself up with weights in each hand. Do this daily for the full seven days.
* Before or after you take a bath or a shower each day, do five minutes of jogging in place, your weights in hand.
* Do not eat greasy foods. Drink only water and fruit juice. Eat a portion of vegetables at every meal.
* In the morning try to eat fruit. Do NOT dump heaps of sugar on your cereal.
* Follow this regimen for seven days and you will see results.
* Take time to cook, Make food look appealing; don't be afraid to try new things. If you're not sure how to prepare or eat things you can go on an online search engine (such as google) and look how recipes and how to eat things.
* It is a shown fact that one of the "weight loss tips" is not true, many of us believe that if we eat late at night the food turns directly into fat. This is only a myth, food is stored all day into fat, it has nothing to do with time. Make sure you eat a lot of protein, this is important because if you don't have enough protein in your diet you will lose muscle and not fat.(Muscle will be burned but not as much).And finally have fun with it! Make up a dance or jump rope to music, getting active doesn’t mean boot camp!
Quick tips
* Eat plenty of vegetables with each meal.
* Drink plenty of water
* Before buying any food, look for carbs, calories and sugar in the ingredients. You'll want to cut down on all three.

I haven't had a c-section but I did once have a major abdominal surgery. What I did was start back slowly with cardio, lots of walking and the elliptical machine at the gym. These were good for weight loss and didn't hurt my stomach. I don't know about the muscle control and how your healing is at this point, but if your doctor say it's okay then an exercise like pilates would be great for toning your abs. Also it gives you a little more muscle which helps to increase your metabolism.

To lose weight, a person has to reduce the calorie intake by some amount by modifying their diet. A diet without sufficient nutrients will only increase the appetite of the person trying to lose weight. Since most people combine a diet with an exercise plan, additional nutrients are required for the growth of muscles required to increase the metabolic rate required for long term weight loss.

I don't know, if you had asked earlier I would have said nursing. My 6 year old nursed and had formula and weaned himself at 6 months. It took me years to lose some of the weight I gained then. My 13 month old is still exclusively nursed and I've gone down to below prepregnancy weight. I lost 5 extra kilos. It may not help for now, but if you have any plans for another it might. Sorry.

Not having gone through a C-section myself, I'm not 100% sure this would apply to you, but I did have a bit of a ponch for a while. I got rid of it with lots of cardio plus exercises targeted to the belly - situps, situps and more situps, plus lifting weights with your hands- move your arms 90 degrees out in front of you (up and down, and hold at straight out position) or to the side (same routine). Trust me, once you start to get even a little bit of muscle going in that area, working out gets easier, and the muscle, which uses more calories than the fatty ponch, helps burn off what ever belly is still hanging around, even while your not working out. Of course, reducing your calorie intake sure helps speed up the process.
Good luck!
