i just had a baby and now i weigh 220 pounds i dont know where to start help!!!!?

Answer 1

Oh, don't worry. If you are breast feeding, it will take you longer to lose the weight because your baby needs rich, sweet, fatty milk from their mom. Anyways, my mother is losing baby weight right now. The baby will stress you out and that will help.
Go swimming alot ( dont be self concsious of how you look )
sit ups and jogging. You will see results in a week.
run with the baby
congratulations, by the way

Answer 2

FIRST things first... relax... you just had a baby take a minute and enjoy the fact that your body is changing because of something precious that you have brought into the world. I would start slow by walking if you have a tredmill walking on an incline is AWESOME for getting used to working out ... an hour a day when the baby is sleeping would be perfect you can read mag. or even watch TV. take a walk outside depending where you live it is beautiful out and i am sure your baby will enjoy the weather... next thing is portion sizes... since you do not have a baby growing inside you anymore there is no NEED to eat as much as you were ... get smaller plates and try nad only finsih half of what is on it and EAT SLOW... you get full more quickly...


good luck:)

just be happy dont worry aobut he numbers on a scale

Answer 3

Start by contacting the nutritionist I used to help me lose weight and stay healthy after having my baby. He gave me great advice on products to use and they were all natural and he even checked everything against my meds. Try www.myhealthabc.com, the support you get is just the best and there is only the nutritionist that you deal with. I lost 36 pounds in four months by following his advice and just about every part of my health improved. I am sure this guy can really help you achieve what you want. Good luck

Answer 4

First take a little while to enjoy your new baby. Your body needs time to adjust as well. Then try to start walking you can put the baby in a stroller or you could get a jogger and jog as well. Weight watchers has always been a good thing as well. My strongest advise is to relax for a little while and let nature take its course.

Answer 5

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 6

you can follow the gm diet,


GENERAL MOTORS WEIGHT LOSS DIET*



The following diet and health program was developed for the employees and the dependants of General Motors Inc.




The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5-6 Kgs. per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like to without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by atleast 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.




During the first seven days you must drink 10 glasses of water each day.

All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consists of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lost of watermelon and cantaloupe.




DAY TWO
All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the new and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the account or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have large boiled potato for breakfast.

If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat the program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.




You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have a accumulated in the system.

Answer 8

I have lost about 60 lbs. in the last year or so....(from a 38 jean to a 33).
You have to want to do it,
I really started watching and thinking about what I ate, I didn't really give up anything, I just ate less of what I did eat.
Drink lots of water, stay away from cokes...(unless they are diet).
I try to leave a little on my plate every time I eat, you have to watch your portion size if you want to do it.
Buy some pants that are one size too small that you really like, that is a really good motivator, then when you can fit them, do it again until you are the size that you want to be.

I wish you luck in being the person you want,take it from me,
it truly is worth it.
