Cardio + Light weight training + Proper Diet = Goal
* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine. Suggest eating veggies, fruits, and proteins. Stay away from junk food, fried food, and anything else that you feel is bad for you.
* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season. Also consume protein because both fruits and protein can fill you up and it makes your stomach seem like its full.
* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.
* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.
* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal. That means eat 5-6 meals a day instead of 3 huge meals a day.
* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.
* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!
* Increase your physical activity ( Cardio )
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.
*Weight training ( Light 5 to 10 lbs )
buy some dumbells that are 5-10 lbs and do some exercises with them. Search google: Dumbell exercises and you will see a bunch of useful links along with pictures and description on how to do it. When gaining weight but your doing everything correctly and see changes in your shape, that means you are building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so dont be alarmed when that happens. You can workout in front of the TV and watch your favorite episode of whatever and it will make time go by faster

Realize that having a baby creates a lot of lifestyle changes and stress. With new schedules and less free time, it is often difficult for new mom's to lose weight and many often gain
Eat less than you burn via simple exercise, common sense and proper nutrition and shouldn't be too difficult.
The hardest parts about losing weight are getting started, believing that you can do it and taking the time to learn what you need to instead of jumping on the most popular new diet bandwagon.
The average person underestimates their caloric intake by nearly 800 calories a day so I posted a link for the new USRDA guidelines that will give you an idea of what and how much you should be eating (it's free so no cost there)
You could also start a simple walking program - 20 - 30 minutes a day 3X a week. (again, free and .. a great stress relief)
I have also included a link to a great article about the basics of an exercise program (free again)
Some simple tips
1. Always eat breakfast (something small and quick will work)
2. Find 90 minutes a week for yourself to get some exercise in
3. find activities that you can do with the baby - look for some local play groups or inexpensive exercise programs at your local rec center
4. avoid skipping meals
5. avoid eating your child's leftovers -

The best way that I can tell you to lose weight is to first drink lots of water cause the body just doesn't work right doesn't have the proper amount of water. Then be sure to get lots of fruits and vegs. at least 5 or 6 servings. Watch out for the bread, limit the bread, pasta, and rice. Eat more fish, chicken, and turkey. Try to stay away from red meat. Don't think about this as a diet but as a lifestyle change. NO JUNKFOOD.

Well what you want to loose is "fat" not just any old "weight".
The best most effective way of loosing fat is by eating 20% under your daily maintenance calorie level. This way you keep your body out of starvation mode, where you will burn muscle instead of fat.
You should be eating 5-6 smaller meals per day and working out 3-5 times per week.

Quickest simplest way is to find a buddy who wants to lose weight...its always good to have someone to motivate you because there are going to be days when yu dont want to lose wieght and then that buddy will push you to go on with it !! My husband has the same problem and what worked for him was not to eat a large meal after 7pm. At night your body takes longer to process and turn the food you eat into engery adn because you are not as active at night as you are in the day, when you eat a big meal at night, it stays with you, whereas in the day, you eat but you lose alot of waht you eat by being busy, either walking or running, but at night you dont exercise so your body slows down turning food into energy so to stop yourself from gaining excessive weight, watch what time you eat, anything after 7pm shoudl be a light snack like yogurt or just a muffin or fruit. Also eating alot of dairy products help cut calories. What worked for me after i hd my daughter was breastfeeding and walking with my baby in the stroller. You dont even have to walk fast jsut walk for aout 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes later in the day, not even every day, 3 times a week is enough, but walking is the best way to lose weight. I lost all my pregnancy weight through walking 3 days a week for 30 minutes in the morning when my hubby went to work and 30 minutes in the late afternoon or when my hubby got home from work, we would walk as a family adn this gave us some time to tlak without the tv or radio being on....give it a try!

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout to use as well.

Start walking every day or get some exercise videos to work out to at home. Try the Firm or Walk Away the Pounds. Those are really good. Also eat a few small meals and keep your calorie intake down. Cut out big portions.

a million. It's as realistic as this, when you burn off extra that you simply devour then you'll reduce weight so that you have to both devour much less or do extra however the excellent manner is to do each. two. You have to do a blend of aerobic - going for walks, strolling, swimming, biking and so on and force coaching like crunches and weights. three. To reduce weight and hold it off you have to devour healthily and endeavor for the relaxation of your existence that's why this can be a well inspiration to discover a vitamin and endeavor hobbies that's shrewd, you experience and do not attempt to lose it too rapidly.
