My best friend is getting married in late May and I'm the Maid of Honor I just had a baby(2 months ago) and my doctor has finally given me the okay to exercise I have been doing crunches,sit ups. lunges, and squates and I'm not seeing any difference after 2 weeks. I do 100 crunches and sit ups as well as 60 crunches and lunges a piece everyday and I eat a sensible diet I cut out all starches and sugars I only eat chicken and fish and my belly and hip fat has not even budged! (nor have i lost any inches in my waist) I still look like I'm about 4 months pregnant!
This is so frustrating being that this is my third child and I gained 50 lbs(the most I have ever gained in all 3 pregnancies) I am currently 5 feet and 167 lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get back to my prepregnancy weight of 117?

no matter what, you will NOT see any results within 2 weeks! Losing weight takes a lot of time & patience. You also need to cut out more of what your eating the first month. Forget the chicken & fish for the next 2 months. You need to be eating nothing but FRUITS & SALADS. Don't eat any junk food, eat only fruits, salads, vegetables & DRINK ONLY WATER all day every day. You also have to excercise every day, you need to add more intense excercise. 60 crunches & lunges a piece is not going to do anything to you. You need to start doing some cardio work out & i mean some INTENSE CARDIO WORK OUTS. The best thing to do is go running for at least 1 hour EVERY DAY. Then increase it to 2 hours (if you want to lose this weight by May). You might want to get a membership at 24 hour Fitness or your local gym.
If you follow this routine, you will more than likely see results within 3 months or less. Make sure you eat breakfast every day (fruits) and go to sleep early on the weekdays. Eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. I promise you that you will lose the weight if you follow this plan. GOOD LUCK and remember, NO JUNK FOOD

I am about your height and five pounds lighter...This is what I had to do...walk. get a pedometer and average 3-5 miles a day. Food: cut out the salt/sodium because you want your body to get rid of the fat and water. Salads with vegetable macaroni..fruit...sherbet...tea..juice..I also liked tomato juice. Bread: wheat..wraps..tacos
Serving size: Moderation but I filled up on the salad and vegetables and also had fish, chicken boiled...
I was on this for about a month and started to loose...
Painting walls is fun also (I did my mom's kitchen and a two car garage one summer)..If you become inactive..the weight will return. What goes in calorie must be burned Good Luck Dont look for 117 but you will hopefully loose; dont eat kids' leftovers!

It sounds like you have made a good start. You just need to add some aerobic activity to help burn the fat. Try walking 30 -60 minutes a day. You can put the baby in a stroller, or front pack, and take him/her with you. Good luck!

Keep doing what your doing, But it takes at the very least 6 months to get back down to your regular weight if you work it off. I've had 6 kids and weigh 104 now. It took nearly a year to get back down.

honey I've had two kids and gained about 60lbs with both of them and still can't get the baby weight off...my oldest is 3.Sorry to say but it's really hard to lose what took over 9 months to gain.Hope something works out for you. Maybe try a supplement.

Come on be realistic it took 9 months to gain it, it won't come off overnight. With each pregnancy it is harder to spring back . good luck
